There was someone... awake in the Maze. Kiriko's pulse picked up in her chest, freezing for a moment. Near holding her breath as she tried to trace the source of the sound. It was wildly unlikely someone had been able to get inside the Maze itself... right? Right? Still on edge, clutching her bedroll tightly, she moved deeper into the maze. Just one of the vacant dens closer to the heart of things, that would make her feel better for the night. They were empty anyway, it wasn't like anyone would notice or care as long as she cleaned up after herself. Though Kiriko tried her best to settle her fried nerves, that much was easier said than done. Which is why Hattori's voice startles her. Kiriko recovered quickly, recognizing the shape, voice, scent of the alpha. Feeling a bit silly, a bit sheepish, under the man's steady gaze... what did she even say? "I have been having nightmares, lately," she began, voice soft. "Every natural noise sounded like danger after one woke me tonight, which is ridiculous but... I think I would feel better closer to the heart of the bamboo for now." The admission is in a near-confidential tone. To be afraid like this, afraid of a construct of her own mind, was against every rational part of her brain. Kiriko was embarrassed to admit that she hadn't been able to swallow down that fear quite well enough, frankly. |
