She can't lie. Not to Hattori. She wouldn't dare lie to him, not after telling him half truths for so long. Telling him just enough to get by... but now there was danger on the horizon. Now Kiriko needed him in ways that she didn't know how to explain. Ways she didn't know how to describe. Her heart pounding in her chest as she watches him turn the information over, though he doesn't stop. Beneath their paws, the comforting crunch of dried leaves. If someone else was out there, they'd hear it. They'd know. Hattori was keen, he was strong. She feels safer by his side. When he asks what she'd like done... well, Kiriko knows as much. She allows herself a little closer to his side, not quite clinging... just hovering. Her steps intentional, though they may not quite look it. Only a breath away now as they move together. Soft, tender gaze on Hattori's face-- she needs him. Kiriko needed him. "I would feel safer sleeping closer... closer to where you sleep. Just in case I ne-- in case anything happens." Kiriko nearly forgets herself, but... not quite. No, it's a smooth enough catch, and she would allow herself to move on with confidence. Not quite ready to look at Hattori, and instead scanning the bamboo on dutiful patrol. |
