Not looking your best

Kotori asked what the thing was and Iki shook her head. She didn't know. Sitting it on the bank, she curled up against his larger frame, content to let him embrace her and hold her close. She needed this more than she cared to admit. Though she was delicate, she was still a proud Ashen princess and did not like to admit weakness. In this moment she was tired and she was more weak than she'd ever been. Being here with Kotori though, it felt right. She felt so incredibly safe and warm and comfortable.

Another gentle lick was given to one obsidian ear and Ikigai's eyes drifted closed. She enjoyed the sensation immensely and leaned closer into him. The boy insisted that she get some sleep and that he would keep her safe. There was no doubt in her mind that he would hold to his word. Wrapped one slender foreleg around one of his thicker limbs, Iki pulled the boys leg close and curled her neck around so that she could use his leg as a pillow. Her chin touched water, but it was too shallow to do any damage. "Thank you, Kotori," she whispered softly. "You truly saved my life and I owe you a great debt." She would repay him somehow. Some way.

Iki's eyes drifted closed and it took her no time to fall asleep, safe as she felt. There were no dreams for the alabaster princess. There was only deep, healing sleep. A sleep that she needed unlike any sleep she'd ever needed before. All the while she knew that she was safe. Any danger that came their way, Kotori would protect her. Somehow... she knew that he would always protect her.
