[ OPEN ] These games every night are my little secret

[nephentes_rajah]

Characters: Yuuka Kazami nephentes_rajah and you!
Date: 12/15~12/20, though I'm not real picky
Summary: Yuuka having a little fun with the mistletoe ; also, a date with a demon goddess
Warnings: It's Yuuka. See below.
Notes: Please reference and fill out Permission post before tagging. Thank you!


[ Winter has slowed the flower youkai down, it's true, but after being tricked by those marigolds so recently she was not about to let it slide. Exploring the entirety of the gardens might seem like a tall order, but she has nothing but time now to investigate her surroundings more thoroughly. If she so happens to bump into one of its inhabitants,that's just a bonus for her. Especially if something fun happens along the way~. ]


((OOC: As you can see, Yuuka's just wandering all over. Feel free to pick and choose where and when the two bump into each other. Mistletoe is optional, but largely the point of this post.))

I'm... I'm strong enough to do what I have to.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Now she looks interested. ] And what does that entail?

[shy_flier]

[ Florina hesitates. Mercenaries are always treated so poorly, but no one here is really judgmental. ]

...I'm a mercenary.

[nephentes_rajah]

Hmm, I see...

Does that mean you will do anything, if the price is right?

[shy_flier]

Ilian mercenaries have... standards. Some standards.

[nephentes_rajah]

You're already working purely for pay... Why set limits for yourself?

[shy_flier]

That... that doesn't mean I'll do things like... hurting innocent civilians.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ You know, she normally dislikes discussing morals, but with someone who seems less than confident in their position, it can be fun to tease them. Yuuka continues to smile, shifting ever closer, bit by bit. ] And what makes someone innocent?

[shy_flier]

[ Oh. Her personal bubble isn't being invaded yet, but her instincts aren't happy about this. ]

M-most... most people... don't really, seriously... hurt each other. Even if... people fight and cheat and steal, that's... they're not all soldiers.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ If the girl backed away, it would just be into an invisible barrier anyhow. ] You don't have to be a soldier to hurt people.

[shy_flier]

[ Not yet. Yuuka hasn't been dangerous yet. ]

I know that. A... a dark druid... hurt more people where I'm from than any soldier. But... a soldier is usually at least aware of... the dangers. Even if they have no choice.

[nephentes_rajah]

Everyone has a choice, dear. If someone ever said otherwise, they were lying to you. Lies said to make them feel better about their decision; their pathetic guilt~. [ And Yuuka knows a thing or two about lies. ]

[shy_flier]

...a choice between fighting or dying isn't much of a choice. Or... if they run, letting their family suffer.

[nephentes_rajah]

Ah, you never said it had to do with having no good choices. [ She pouts a bit. ] Going that route is unfair.

[shy_flier]

It's... not much of a difference usually.

[nephentes_rajah]

And if I challenged you to a duel right here and now, what would you think about that?

[shy_flier]

...I would... ask if you mean sparring or... a real fight.

[ Her hand flexes. ]

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Invading that personal space, now. ] What do you want, hm~?

[shy_flier]

[ Now she's moving ba-oh.

She's trapped. ]

I would rather... not duel at all.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka planted one arm beside the girl's head, resting against that wall. ] That isn't one of the choices.

[ And if Florina's not fast, the youkai's free hand will have found its way to the hilt of that sword of hers, while the youkai's red eyes are trained on that deliciously uncomfortable response. ]

[shy_flier]

[ Despite her shyness and reluctance, Florina's been through far too much for her reflexes to fail her that easily; her hand is across her body and on the hilt of the blade in time for Yuuka's hand to rest over hers. ]

Please let go of it now.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ She tightens her grip, leaning ever closer. ] Or what?

[shy_flier]

...I'll defend myself if I must.

[ She tightens her own grip, turning slightly, eyes narrowing. ]

[nephentes_rajah]

Tsk, tsk.

If you do that, we'll never get out of here.

[shy_flier]

Th-then please let go of my sword.

[ Or she'll start trying to draw it. ]
