Hotaru
nothing's fair in love and war
Though her smile may not be as brilliant or full of vixen intent as it normally is, it is not entirely gone. Not broken or scrubbed from existence, just...resting. Recovering. There will be time for healing, both physical and mental for the both of them. Today is merely their first venture onto better pathways after the slow breaking apart they’d experienced together in the barracks. Neither can expect to be whole and hale so soon after that. But even broken spirits can still light up with laughter and effervescent joy, sharing in mirth that paints itself in loud rumbles and trilling giggles alike. A discordant chorus of delight. A gasp of delight at the prospect of hurling the dummies over the wall brightens her entire face into a devilish curl of excitement. Oh how clear it is that they have both missed such degrading tactics against their enemies from their ruling days. “Yes. What a perfect way to ring in the new season!” Because they are an odd pair, the two of them. Celebrations underscored by re-enactments of killing old foes. “Though I do think we should spend at least one day on the beach this summer, I grew quite spoiled while I lived there.” A roundabout way of saying that she is scared to go alone, with both real and imagined demons so close at hand.
