"Kinu." Velouria approaches her friend, face stilled as she tried to hide how excited she was to see the kitsune girl again. (Her tail gives it all away though, wagging wildly against her control.)

"Kinuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you're not allowed to leave me ever again."

"'Louriaaaaaaaaaaa, I'm sorry, I won't leave again, I promissseeeeeee!!!!" Kinu's whine was drawn out and matched Velouria's. She could only hold herself back for three seconds (three whole seconds! record!) before she tackle hugged her friend.

They'd not thought twice about taking up the task when asked. Having to take up work so young, just to stay alive...well, Yuri would know a thing or two about that. But there had been no guiding hand for him, no trusted adult to ensure he would come to no harm. Only those who saw fit to use him as they pleased.

There's nothing they can change about their own past— and nothing they would change about it either. But the least they can do is spare half an hour in their day to walk a few kids back home. “You could stand to be a bit more convincing about it,” they remark dryly to their companion as one of the children scuttles away from her to duck behind them.

“I don't want to get bitten!” the kid wails, fists bunching the fabric of their uniform.

“No one's going to bite anyone.” Their gaze flicks toward Velouria, a faint mix of amusement and bemusement. “At this point, I can't tell if you're trying to scare them on purpose or not. But—” Yuri twists in place to tap the kid hiding behind them on the nose. “—no pulling on tails either. Be nice and I'll sneak you some candy before you get home, yeah?”

They light up like a star. “Really?”

Yuri can't help the smile that twitches at the corner of their lips. “Of course. I'd never lie about something as important as candy.”

For a moment, Kinu only revelled in hugging her friend. It felt like it had been FOREVER since she last saw Velouria. Best friends were best friends forever too though, so it was okay, cause Velouria was here.

"All the games!" Kinu replied excitedly. "Though some of them... most of them, I'm not allowed to play in the Monastery..."

"Kinu." Velouria approaches her friend, face stilled as she tried to hide how excited she was to see the kitsune girl again. (Her tail gives it all away though, wagging wildly against her control.)

"Kinuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you're not allowed to leave me ever again."
