[ comfort ] one muse pulls the other to their chest to hug them after a dangerous moment. nonverbal.   /   accepting.

it had taken awhile for her to wake after how hard she’d been knocked out, but she’s still trying to regain her composure & learn just what had occurred while she was unconscious.  sara is wrapping her mind around everything when she catches a glimpse of night in her peripherals, turning to face him when he pulls her into a hug.   ‘  n---  night... ?  ‘   she's exhaling a breath she doesn’t realize she’s been holding in, wrapping her arms around him in return & trying to relax in his embrace.

‘  i’m alright...  i’m okay.  ‘

[raifeza]

for one muse to squish the other’s face between their hands. affectionate.   /   accepting.

sara can’t help that she bonded with one of the strays that hangs around itto’s tent, the little black & white cat always climbing into her lap & purring happily.  she has the feline in her lap, gently petting & scratching behind their ears.  if itto had said anything, she’d been lost in thought until she feels his hands squishing her face & she meets his gaze with wide eyes.   ‘  ---  i’m sorry, this little one keeps trying to take all the attention away from you.  ‘   even the stoic general can’t hide the teasing smile pulling at her lips as gloved fingers reach to cup his cheek.   ‘  i’m listening now, i promise.  ‘

[ STOP ] :  sender takes receiver's hand to stop them from walking away from them. take my hand.   /   accepting.

she’s already spent the better part of a day absent from her duties as general, even if she did need the time away to catch her breath.  sara knows she needs to return to the commission soon, but a larger hand taking hold of hers stops her in her tracks.  she knows whose hand is grasping hers without even looking yet she doesn’t pull away from him either, at least not yet.  gloved hand lightly squeezes his when she turns to face the crimson oni, her gaze warm as she meets his stare.

‘  is this your way of asking me to stay?  ‘

[raifeza]

[  rest  ]  sender  rests  their  chin  on  receiver’s   shoulder. nonverbal.   /   accepting.

gold hues open when she feels something on her shoulder, a different weight there than that of her familiar as she turns her head slightly to see just who or what it is, her brows lifting in surprise upon seeing it’s itto.  sara had been meditating, but if he hadn’t gotten her attention, she’s sure yonaka would have soon enough.  she relaxes knowing that it’s him, her head leaning against his as she looks forward once more from where she sits.   ‘  you’re sure that this isn’t hurting you?  i am much smaller than you, after all.  ‘

[ eat ]   your muse eating mine out. spicy.   /   still accepting.

how did this happen?  the two of them had been spending more time together & while she acknowledged how close they are now compared to before, she couldn’t have anticipated this.  first they were talking & now they’re half naked, sprawled out on her bed with his face buried between her legs & his strong, warm hands gripping her thighs to keep her in place.

sara hadn’t been with anyone in over a century, nor had anyone ever eaten her out before.  it’s an all new experience to her, something she already knows she’ll thank him for afterwards.  soft moans emanate from her as one hand grasps at the covers beneath her, the other reaching for him as fingers thread through blond tresses.  the tengu could hardly keep her eyes open from the pleasure, but she catches a glimpse of him watching her expression to see if she’s enjoying herself.

‘  j ---  just keep doing that,  ‘   she breathes, the fire pooling low in her abdomen as her eyes close & she lightly bucks her hips against his mouth.  he really does know what he’s doing & she can tell with how the pressure is building, her fingers lightly gripping his hair, a mixture of mewls & moans escaping her lips.  she’s getting close & she gets the feeling he knows it too.

‘  thoma, please  ---  don’t stop...  ‘   sara pleads, almost begging for him to keep going as her hands come up to cover her mouth in an attempt to keep herself quiet.  she only hopes no one else overheard her in such a state, not wanting to deal with anyone asking who she was with but she can’t deny how much she’s relishing this.  it isn’t much longer before her body tenses as the general finds her release, hands muffling her crying out the blond’s name & hips stilling while he guides her through her climax.

the tengu is panting as she slowly comes down from her high, trying to catch her breath when gold hues open to finally meet his gaze after what just happened between them.  that was much better than she thought it would be, a small yet tired smile spreading across her lips.   ‘  alright...  maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.  ‘

"since you have an electro vision, and i have a pyro vision. you could say that i could overload inside you?" 

it takes a lot to surprise sara, but his words catch her completely off guard & she’s trying her damnedest to not be easily flustered by his comment.  thoma knew exactly what he was doing by saying such a thing, well aware of how she tends to shy away from discussions of a sexual matter.  if anything, she’s genuinely impressed that he came up with something like that  ---  not that she’d ever doubted his humor before, but there’s enough internal conflict on her end over whether she should laugh, be appalled, or tease him right back.

it doesn’t take long for her to decide.

sara’s fighting back the blush that threatens to spread across her cheeks, but she’s clearing her throat as gold hues peer at the blond.  no, she won’t give him the satisfaction of her being flustered;  at least not that easily.  she’s choosing her words carefully before turning to fully face him, her face straight as ever as she maintains her composure.

‘  it’s a possibility.  care to find out?  ‘

❰❰ DANCE ❱❱  sender invites receiver to slow dance. extremely self-indulgent.   /   still accepting.

it’s not the first time they’ve met back in the forest, nor does sara doubt it will be the last with how they both find solace there.  often together, but it’s not always planned;  the two of them finding each other there more than anything else.  sara is content spending time with him though, never being able to turn him away when they cross paths.

she’s listening to the sounds of the nearby waterfall & the tanuki playing in the distance, sitting on a rock when yoru stood & held his hands out to her.   the tengu looks at them, then up to him as gloved hands take his & she stands as well.  she’s expecting him to lead her somewhere but instead he’s pulling her close & starts moving to a silent tune with her.   dancing?  you wanted to dance?   she mouths, following his lead as a smile spreads across her lips.  sara didn’t know he liked to dance but if that’s what he wanted to do, she’s fine with being his partner for it.

[ direct ]   your muse taking mine by the chin and telling them to look yours in the eye . non-sexual acts of dominance.   /   still accepting.  

it isn’t the first time they’d crossed paths, but this is certainly the closest they’ve ever been before.  sara always distanced herself from those she doesn’t know & it didn’t matter if she’d heard enough talk about ji woon before.  if she didn’t know him, she wanted her space.

so much for that.

he had gall for getting so close & even touching her, she’d give him that.  until she knows his intentions, she won’t start a fight but she’ll remain on guard with him.  golden hues narrow as they meet his gaze, clearly not happy about what he’s doing.   ‘  can i help you, ji woon?  i have other matters to attend to, if you don’t mind.  ‘

[ dry ]  your muse drying mine off with a towel after a shower , bath , swimming , etc . (maybe from rain?) non-sexual acts of dominance.   /   still accepting.

sara could tell the storm was coming yet she didn’t anticipate it raining this much.  she’s surprised they were able to get out of it & back to the estate as quickly as they did, but they managed even if they were drenched in the process.  she doesn’t step too far inside, not wanting to trail water everywhere when she feels dry fabric on her shoulders & turns to see that yoru is the one helping her dry off. 

if anyone’s soaked from all the rain & needs to be dried off, it’s him.

i should be helping you.  you’re the one who’s drenched.   she signs before pulling the towel off & starting to dry the shinobi off instead.  they might need more towels for this.

✸ for our muses to cuddle softer.   /   still accepting.

she knows she’s been overworking herself, yet it doesn’t stop her from trying to hide it from yoru.  they’d been spending a lot of time together but she hoped it wasn’t that easy for him to read her, though even yonaka kept telling her he’d be able to figure it out.  turns out that sara’s familiar was right with how yoru pulls her down onto his bed in an embrace, but she can’t bring herself to fight it or pull away from him either.

sara lays there with the shinobi, caving & finally letting herself relax as they cuddle on his mattress.  the tengu doesn’t think she deserves the break or to even be this close to him, but she wants to remain like this with yoru for a little while, or as long as he’s willing to let her stay there with him.  she’ll take what she can get.

[ inspect ] for one muse to take hold of the other’s face while inspecting a bruise or cut. nonverbal.   /   accepting.

hold still,   she signs before reaching out to carefully hold his face in her hands, leaning in close to get a better look at his injury.  it doesn’t look too bad, but she’s not sure if he’s cleaned the wound;  the last thing he needs is an infection from it.

‘  you got this from your job earlier?  ‘   sara inquires aloud with her hands otherwise occupied, golden gaze narrowing at the laceration.  she may not be a doctor, but she learned basic medicine & how to take care of wounds over the years.   ‘  we need to clean this.  if you don’t have anything to take care of it, i do.  ‘ 

@shisou​

[raifeza]

❛   good morning . loud & deafening silence.   /   still accepting.

it’s incredibly rare for her to truly feel well rested, yet she does every morning after being with zaitsu.  it’s a comfort getting to see him since their schedules rarely ever line up, but she sleeps soundly every time & she has the feeling he knows it even if he’s gone before the sunlight peeks through her windows.

for once, that’s not the case.

she’s trained herself to wake at 5:05 every morning & she slowly stirs from her slumber a few moments early, but she notices the warmth of another still in her bed.  a tired smile spreads across the tengu's lips when she feels him kiss her, gold eyes slowly opening to take in the sight of him still there with her.

‘  good morning to you too...  ‘  hand reaches to cup his cheek, pressing another lazy kiss to his lips.  this is one of the few times she’s ever woken up to zaitsu still there & she’s grateful to have a little more time with him, as fleeting as it may be.   ‘  i hope you got some rest because i know i did.  ‘

5. for one muse to get hurt protecting the other. protective.   /   still accepting.

sara knew she’d be met with hostility as the news of her clan’s association with the fatui spread through inazuma.  even though she never learned about it until it was too late & still tried to stop more damage from being done, no one believed her except the select few who knew that to be the case.  she knew her clan would be tried by the raiden shogun, but still hoped to restore some semblance of honor to her clan after what takayuki had done.  part of it would be by returning the taken visions to their owners, a process she knew would take time to complete but she wanted to do what she could to fix the wrongs she’d committed.

tengu had been making her way through byakko plains when a group of kairagi tried to ambush her, though she quickly dispatched a couple of them before another dealt a surprise blow she’d just barely been able to avoid.  sara wasn’t at her strongest & it showed, but she wouldn’t make it that easy for them to dispatch her.

she’s nocking another arrow when she suddenly sees kazuha jumping between her & the last kairagi, taking a hit meant for her.   ‘  kazuha !  ‘   he’s still standing but she triggers her titanbreaker to finish off the nobushi before running to kazuha.   she’s quickly looking him over to see where he’s injured, seeing it’s not as serious as she thought it was but she’s still concerned about him while her hand applies pressure to his wound.

‘  i don’t know what possessed you to get in the way but i’m getting you to a healer.  i’ll properly thank you later.  ‘

@akinoiro​

[raifeza]

❛   hospital . loud & deafening silence.   /   still accepting.

she’d just finished looking over new plans put in place by the commission when her familiar delivered the news.  yonaka knew sara would want to hear about zaitsu being in the hospital first thing, well aware of how close the two of them are & that he’s important to the general.  upon being told the news, she didn’t hesitate to drop what she was doing to fly to the hospital & see him, the panic setting in as she couldn’t recall the last time he’d ever been there.

it was clear to the staff that she was there for someone & she couldn’t stop herself from asking where he was, finding no resistance or anyone keeping her from going to his room.  no one wanted to get in the general’s way, or at least she hoped they knew better.

when she gets to his room, she’s already making her way over to his side though he appeared to be sleeping.  that’s a good sign, even if she’s still worried about him & what injuries he had if he ended up there.  sara takes a glance around to find a chair in the corner, grabbing it & bringing next to the hospital bed before taking a seat.

‘  i’m here, tsu.  ‘   tengu whispers as she leans in to press a kiss to his forehead, hand gently taking hold of his hand.   ‘  i’ll be here when you wake.  ‘

[raifeza]

"i just fuck things up if you noticed." if i can’t have love...   /   accepting.

tengu can’t help the sadness that spreads across her features at his words, resting a comforting hand on his shoulder.  she knows what it’s like to believe the negative thoughts someone has about themselves, even if she’d never admit it.  he’s always been there for her when she needed him & she’ll be damned if she isn’t there to support him too.

‘  you don’t fuck up anything, tsu.   i cannot think of anything you’ve done to mess things up in the way you’re implying.   ‘   free hand raises to cup his cheek, golden hues meeting his mismatched stare as her thumb brushes against his skin.   ‘  i’m here for you & i’m not going anywhere, okay?  you still have me  ---  you’ll always have me.  ‘

@innoiro​

[raifeza]

"you made me a believer." imagine dragons.   /   accepting.

‘  a believer, hmm?  ‘   she marks her page & sets down the book she’s reading, leaning against his side as she gazes at his visage.  sara has an idea of what he could possibly be talking about, wondering if he’ll truly say what he’s a believer in or if he’ll show it in his actions.  words weren’t always necessary between the two of them, something she’d learned a long time ago.   ‘  care to elaborate?  i’m curious.  ‘
