#(WHILE LISTENIG TO THE PANDORA HEARTS OP. PERFECTION LMFAO

[universestreasures]

enterpainment​: (Yuri)

Yuri quite enjoyed this game of theirs. This game of cat and mouse, but in their case this mouse welcomed the hunt. It really didn’t take Serena that long at all to find Yuri this time, but he finds that he wasn’t disappointed. He was glad, really. Now he didn’t have to stay hidden. And so he steps out from the shadows cast along the far wall. His eyes seem to glow faintly in the darkness, reflecting what little light the room offered.

An odd sort of sneer creeped across his lips as he moved forward but a few steps. Clearly keeping his distance at least at arm’s reach in case Serena decided to get feisty with him for invading her quiet night. 

❝ Sorry, Mistress. But the Master’s orders supersede even yours. And he asked me personally to accompany you on this night. In case you were doing something you shouldn’t… Which surely isn’t what I’m seeing, now is it? ❞ -

“Tch...I don’t need a babysitter...” And yet she was essentially Yuri’s own at this point. What a pain. Her father painted her strength as the main reason she was assigned the second most difficult of the dragon brothers the Akaba household had spared, but it didn’t feel like an honor. It felt like a hinderance. And if there was one thing Serena hated, it was hindrances. She had enough of them already from her position being one of the youngest in the family.

Being among the youngest, even if you are the eldest of the young, meant you were painted as weak and in need of coddling. That’s part of why she had taken up her habits as she had, sleeping during most of the day and training her magic, knowledge, and combat abilities at every opportunity in the evenings where she could draw power from the moon’s light. She wanted to prove herself independent so she could do as she pleased with her life, including to get out of her arranged marriage to the heir to the Sawatari household who she hated ever so much... 

“I can only practice my magic at night. Father wishes for me, and all of us in the house, to hone our abilities whenever possible. I am only doing as he asked.” Serena frames her words this way to hopefully cause Yuri to back off, knowing deep down she is doing this for her own sake and not for the family. She cared for them, some more than others, but her motivations were for her sake and her sake alone. Following orders had never been her thing, especially ones from her own father.

She then purposely concentrates to create a crescent moon shape shuriken to appear in her hand, Serena throwing it with the intention of purposely missing the dragon and hitting the nearby wall. “If you’re smart Lizard Breath, you’ll stay out of the way of my training. Or, do you need a reminder of the power that helped stopped your family’s rampage across this country?”
