ji-hun’s marks are on each side of his neck / deng’s mark is over the throat near the base down the front of the neck / ren’s is the heart — where did that man first touch your muse??

[hehosts]

❝ you won't give it to me? ❞ he complains. well, that's no good.

deng frowns, hunching as if in contemplative thought, before leaning back to cackle loudly. clearly, he is unabashed in everything he does. this behavior seems rather normal for him, should the word be even attached to his person. no, nothing is normal about this man. he then grabs at his belly like a distorted santa, though there is no fat on his person, and chuckles heartily.

❝ that's funny! you're funny ... but i'm not honey, nor am i a bee. not even a wasp! hehe. oh! i do collect them, though. they're very furious creatures. ❞

he then releases the grip he's had on himself, jointed limbs coming to together to cross as he taps his bottom lip in continued thought, stroking the recesses of his imagination.

❝ that just ... won't do. i hate to take it unwillingly. damages the roots. ❞ hm, hm, hm. ❝ how about ... a trade? just give me a piece! i'll make it worth your while. ❞

oh, what a funny one this guy was. his tone, as she already identified as strange, was just that. the half-smile on her face doesn't change as he reads her response as a misunderstanding. when he explains himself further, the shewolf's feature dont falter. " you're mistaken, honey. " meaning she does comprehend his original message. " i appreciate the compliment. and no. " she's equality as firm in response.

❝ blood pays for blood, a life for a life. ❞ ( from deng! )

* @hehosts , prompted - a dance with dragons.

He wasn't wrong, but Inari never liked facing truth in the sense that she had to face the cruelty that mortals and immortals alike had exhibited over the years. She keeps mute, admiring her manicure as if doing so would allow her to sidestep the matter totally… but this was not the case. She is completely aware of this. She inhales and lifts her head, allowing mismatched eyes to locate Deng. Across from her in a room lit solely by candlelight. A neighboring candelabra leaks wax.

"It appears that this is the natural cycle for humanity." No matter what, there is progress in tragedy. That is not to say that what has been lost should be silenced or ignored. All who die are returned to the earth and reborn. May their next lives be more full. Her white eyelashes quiver, her eyes soft… but just for a minute. A lace handkerchief is taken from her handbag and silently presented to him. He had some blood on the cuff of his sleeve.

❝ two things can be true at once, you're correct. in the end, though, here are the only true things: what is ... and his will. what he wants to be true. after all my years, if i have learned nothing else, i have learned that. you would be wise, too. it's like staring into a cup of tea leaves, right? but you know who poured your cup, don't you? who brewed that kettle?? you will see ... what he wants you to see. i think that's how it goes, anyway. bah!! but what do i know~!! ❞ at her insistence that he cares well for her, deng squints. his consideration is rapid / his resolute firm. ❝ if you want a caretaker, you would be better left with the cobra. he only bites when he's told to! ❞

" perhaps, it would not be wrong to think so. "

a smile, she remains gentle. " they are just celestial bodies after all, " hand outstretches once more, as if she could touch the stars, manipulate them.

" two things can be correct at the same time, deng. after all the years you've spent with that man, i would expect you to know that much. " a true anomaly, that man . . . he played with destiny far too much, disturbed the connection she had to the cosmos. " please take good care of me, mr. hyena. "

omg hi pooks — @kusatta

❝ miss me? ❞

[hehosts-moved]

yes, he's been following you. since you met, he's been persistent to seek you out, find you. ❝ ... i wondered how long it would be, ❞ he starts, ❝ until you saw me. ❞ i wanted you to. // * open starter from the right hand of that man —— deng !!

*   @hehosts​ sent;    ❛ one of the cruelest things you can do to another person is pretend to care more than you do. ❜ ( from deng ! who is oddly pleased in saying this, less morose, and more intentional ... )   ||   prompted  /  accepting.

silence befalls the room as such words tumble from his lips.  it is true  -  the false belief in ones care  ,  enormous as it may appear could simply all be . . smoke and mirrors.  fickleness does not exist only within the hearts of mortals but all beings.  not that it is a certainty but rather  ,  a possibility.  the indecisiveness  ,  the inability to commit.  surely it is unfathomable  ,  such a realization when it comes to one you deeply care for  ,  that such a feeling isn’t mutual.  

she cannot claim to understand as she keeps herself at an arms length always  ,  but she can confirm that such would not be desired.   petal soft lips part finally  ,  amethyst gaze drifting to him;  “have you felt this betrayal before?”  she asks with genuine curiosity  ,  ears perked and angled forward at attention.  

she did not have the luxury of getting close to others but GODS did she wish for it.  crave it  ,  even.

please also check out this post before making any baseless claims about Moo Deng not being happy and well cared for in her home, thank you

[hehosts]

sometimes that man takes deng’s vision for a week as a punishment and deng bemoans around blind and acts extra pitiful and bothersome lbr

[hehosts-moved]

❝ while your demands are appreciated, ❞ he begins, ❝ you have no say. your words ... do not sway me (or him). that man is ready for you. you will see him. avoiding him ... is not something i would do. ❞ if she's going to attack, she might as well now. it matters not to deng. rolling his shoulders back, the hyena splits a smile. this exchange is just as charged as he thought it would be — as he was told it would be. ❝ what he wants ... is to make a deal. we both know that. it would be wise ... to remember this: this is his city. ❞

. . . SOON ENOUGH ? Finally, movement spills & yet, hers does not, tied within place as if a beast prepared to meet a beast. SHADOWS CAST GREY, SHADOWS CAST BLACK, long, wavering, his movement, her steadiness. LASHES NARROW, FINGERS AT THE READY as she pours her gaze into his own ; in the veil of night, crimson flames glow bright. SLOWLY, A GRIN FALLS 'PON FEATURES, canines revealed. ❛❛ Well, I've got a little message to tell that fucker. He can wait a damn minute or for - fucking - ever if I decide. First, you tell me what he wants with me, then I decide what to do. Understand, creature Deng ? ❜❜

[hehosts-moved]

❝ this will end in blood. then again, it always does with you, doesn't it?? ❞ // * open starter from deng !!

[shecharm]

i like weird tales ,  &  they never trouble me . // deng !!

weird tales . . s'pose she had a few of those , but it wasn't exactly any sort of thing to share aloud , especially not with someone of this world. eyebrows , groomed and perfected in shape , begin to knit as she looks at him. "does anything trouble you?" she asks in a soft voice , barely above a whisper. perhaps it is not something meant to receive an answer at all!

"do you have any weird tales?" || prompted / accepting. || @hehosts

As I have seen the famous Hippo gaining some popularity I’d like to speak up about the story of Gustavito, the Salvadorean Hippo. This is hard for me to tell as it still haunts me and makes me cry, but I think his story must be told. One day, a group ofn entered his space at the national zoo and violently attacked him with metal sticks and wooden sticks, then hit him several times. The reason? Political reasons. This makes no sense at all, the institutions that were supposed to take care of him failed them and they all gave wrong information and changed his autopsy every god damn time, so to the date, there has been 0 acknowledge, 0 people signaled as the culprits, and 0 statements from the government. International institutions did not care to speak about this matter, but thankfully it was all documented by the press. You can look online: Muerte de Gustavito el Hipopotamo Salvadoreño, if you desire to obtain more information about this matter.

Please share so we cannot forget that zoos in third world countries do not protect the animals and that the government and politics are capable of literally anything in order to obtain fame and pretend they are heroes. Who paid this people to hurt a sleeping and sick Hippo at night? How is it possible that no one looked at any of the faces of whoever entered the zoo? Gustavito made us happy, gustavito had no guilt whatsoever to live in this Shithole country.

Raise awareness and please pray for his soul ♡︎ no matter if you are religious or not, i believe that gustavito meant no harm for this world and that he deserves to be remembered as a sweet boy ♡︎
