@violevin said: " that game is for little children. " yuu thinks he's a grown up
❛ no it isn’t. ❜ the child was in ABSOLUTE DISAGREEMENT AND DEFENSE at the remark her uncle had just said. sure it was easy to pass off the little disappointment her heart felt at the older’s refusal to play with her BUT the way he called it a child’s game? it just didn’t sit well with chihiro.
with puffed out cheeks and a now PROMINENT POUT across her lips, she glanced at her unopened board game she had on hand before looking up to yuu once more, eyebrow raised and reasoning at the ready. ❛ it’s a game about paying taxes and rent, owning properties and dealing with mortgages ❜ there was no doubt about how she knew the game by heart ( well, she wouldn’t have asked her papa to buy it for her in the first place if she had no idea how to play it after all. ) ❛ don’t adults do these things in real life? ❜

@movingcastlle said: “ let me have a look… “
( QUESTION: what happens when you play with fire? ) ❛ ow, ow, ow, ouuch… ❜ ( –– exactly, you get burned. ) even if it was a magical talking flame who had its own consciousness, fire was still fire even if it was properly tended to; NO EXCEPTIONS. sure it should have been common knowledge that even a ten-year-old would have remembered it but, given the bond she had made with the talking fire demon, she thought that he would have been able to control his flames better by now when his meals were given. seems like the accident earlier proved her thoughts OTHERWISE.
back against the wall, chihiro found herself trembling as fingers lightly tapped on the burn mark that grazed the back of her hand. A LITTLE TOO NEAR calcifer did she give the plate full of eggs, bacon, and ham, and when excitement took over the creature, BRIGHTLY DID HIS INFERNO BURN, accidentally catching her hand in the process and forcing her to back away far FAAAR into the corner of the house.
biting back a whimper, the girl continued to inspect the mark UNTIL a newcomer crouched right in front. kind and gentle was the wizard’s tone with his request, prompting chihiro to reach out her hand for him to see. ❛ it stings... ❜

@enmoni said: “ i don’t know if you think you’re being strong or protecting me, but i don’t need you to keep painting on smiles when you’re clearly upset. ” // from mr river dragon spirit haku himself :)
RIGHT THERE AND THEN, figure freezes up at the sudden remark from behind her. back immediately straightened as palms HALTED from wringing out the dampened wash cloth. so he noticed it, huh ? A SIGH.
it’ll be okay , it’ll be okay, it’ll be okay – words she had told the river dragon spirit prior to his FULL CONSCIOUSNESS STIRRING. these were constantly repeated with a forced small smile , of course; AN ATTEMPT to make him believe that IT WILL BE OKAY ( or was it more for HER comfort if anything? ) looks like she played herself.
the moment her bearings have returned, tiny fingers continued to twist on the cloth, discarding the remaining liquid left in it before turning around and nearing the injured apprentice once more. in all honesty though, how could she NOT be upset when he was hurting and bleeding ALL OVER ?! furthermore, if the seal that he got wasn’t returned to its rightful owner, what would happen to him?
there was no doubt about how she desperately WANTED TO CRY HER HEART OUT that very minute. fear definitely gripped the entirety of her soul and while his words did permit her to be upset ; to weep as much as she can – SEN DECIDED AGAINST IT. to cry to her heart’s content? that was exactly what her former self would have done. NOT THIS TIME AROUND THOUGH. her promise to him was FAR STRONGER than that! and so instead, she settled for a saddened smile as she placed the cool cloth upon his forehead.
❛ hey, i told you i’d be braver, didn’t i ? that i wouldn’t cry any more over such silly things... ❜ don’t worry about me, haku. i’m …. okay. i’ll get to zeniba. i’ll return the seal and then....you’ll be better. ( and then i wouldn’t be upset anymore. )

@violevin said: " just leave me. i’ll be okay. " PLEASE CONSIDER kira losing control of her powers and trying to get chihiro away because she's holding on for her >:D
❛ excuse me, excuse me ! ❜ still in her school uniform did the youngest of the clan squeeze through the crowd of people that began to BARRICADE the scene of the crime. panic glistened across the child’s eyes as she followed the EVER-SO-FAMILIAR thickening aura of purple that seemed to come from the center. on the way home had she heard of the news: “ THIS JUST IN: a rampant grade 1 cursed spirit is on the loose, wreaking havoc to a nearby neighborhood in town; though there were already a few sorcerers after it, only ONE was able to slow it down. this sorcerer is none other than…”
through heavy bags and bodies did she push through until she had made it to the front; just right before the policemen who barred the people from coming near the lone figure beyond them. … ‘bachan !
a few seconds of craning her neck had ultimately allowed the child to assess the situation, no cursed spirit was in sight and the older was just there, crouching. was she hurt? did the spirit get to her? did the police harm her? the next thing she knew, chihiro was barreling through the policemen as well, only to have her arm caught in the process. “hey, you’re not supposed to be here, kid! it’s dangerous!” h-huh ? ❛ please let me through ! that’s my ‘bachan there alright?! ❜ she was yanking and twisting her already aching arm in the hopes of getting away from the man’s hold. as wide as saucers did her gaze grow upon looking back at kira. oh, no. she was about to do it. she’d only seen it once before and it was something she never wanted to see EVER again.
after a mental apology for what she was about to do, the girl pulled her arm as forcefully as she could, and made a beeline towards her aunt. “HEY!”
further and further away did the voices of the crowd go with every step she took. no one could have halted the child at that very moment. ❛ ‘bachan, ‘bachan ! ❜ knees met with the ground as her height leveled with that of the crouched sorcerer. gently did palms land on her shoulders, only to QUICKLY RETRACT them when she felt a ZAP course through the tips of her fingers. cold shock – she remembered. “just leave me, i’ll be okay.” w-what ? ❛ no…no ! ❜ furiously did she shake her head, every fiber of her being refusing to follow said orders. okay ? i’ll be …. okay ? ❛ it’s –– it’s wrong to lie ‘bachan! ❜ you were the one who taught me not to lie, didn’t you? she knew the LONG TERM REPERCUSSIONS of what would happen if her aunt lost control of her powers. and she knew, oh she definitely knew, she wouldn’t be okay
though trembling, little hands once again reached forward and grabbed kira’s palms, all the while ignoring the TINGLY STINGING PAIN of the electric sparks; tightly did she hold on to her, as if it was a way to ground her back to reality ❛ don’t do it , PLEASE don’t do it. t-the other sorcerers are on their way too, a - aren’t they? please don’t take it on your own... ❜ she could hear footsteps draw nearer and nearer towards them –– the UNMISTAKABLE SOUND of the authorities who were definitely going to pry her off now at any second. slowly did forehead press against held hands, eyes tightly shut in an attempt to hold back the tears that came forth. ❛ y - you have to come back to us ❜ to the heavens watching us from above, would it be too selfish to ask for another christmas with bachan?

@msbybrat said: GRABS AND LIFTS HER IN THE AIR
heavy were the lids that began to betray her sight, with every second that passed by. no, no! with a shake of her head, sleep was TEMPORARILY WHISKED AWAY. back remained straight against the side of the sofa as seating was adjusted on the floor. right by the hallway leading to the door she stayed, making sure she wouldn’t miss out the older’s coming home. she had to stay awake! she had to ! atsu-nii promised he’d be home by night time. he was just …. a little late from practice ! yeah , that must be it ! he’d be home any minute now.
but no matter HOW STRONG her convictions were, drowsiness seemed to cast a spell upon the child. once again, eyelids started to fall and thoughts began to doze off. lithe arms wound around folded legs, pulling them closer to her chest as forehead rested atop her knees. maybe … a short nap wouldn’t hurt.
the next thing chihiro knew, out of DREAM LAND she was pulled from, finding herself suddenly being lifted into the air. ❛ huh ? atsu- nii ? ❜ as soon as blurriness was wiped away from her eyes, excitement INSTANTLY BRIGHTENED up the girl’s features. around his neck did arms go, giving him a sleepy, yet warm hug in the process. ❛ atsu-nii ! you’re home , you’re home ! ❜

@ervaurem said: [ PULL ] (from haku uwu) - sender takes receiver by the hand to help them to their feet after they've fallen or been knocked over.
–– THWACK ! a powerful blow to her middle , followed by a sharp pain that traveled across her spine. the next thing she knew, arms weakly scrambled to lift herself up from the cold wooden floor. truly unfortunate was the girl to have been assigned to a regular, yet RATHER RUDE AND BOISTEROUS SPIRIT GUEST. from what sen had heard, the visitor had been looking for lin to attend to them, but since the older was called to another task, the higher ups decided that “ it should be the human who would take on the task. ”
so here she was, barely an introduction in and then she was met with A DEMAND for the older. when she couldn’t explain where her friend was, the child was flung out of the room, figure hitting against the corridor before eventually falling to the ground. I SAID, I WANTED LIN ! NOT YOU! WHERE IS LIN ?! WHERE IS SHE ?! WHERE IS SHE ?! across the corridor did the spirit’s insistence reverberated , most probably drawing in the attention of everyone NEAR THE VICINITY. but no matter how loud their shouts were becoming, the young bathhouse worker could only focus on fighting against the PARALYZING PAIN that coursed all throughout her entire being. even with the LITTLEST OF COUGHS she would emit, it felt like her lungs were collapsing. everything hurt.
amidst ALREADY TEARY AND BLURRY charcoal hues, she suddenly found a palm reaching out to her. glancing up at the newcomer, pudgy features were surprised to see a very much familiar face. ❛ h-haku ? ❜ he was here ! had he heard of the commotion ? it shouldn’t have reached the top floor should it? thankfully there were a few attendants nearby who took over the scene in an attempt to calm down the visitor, and with the attention no longer on her, she found her palm reaching out towards his; allowing herself to be lifted up in the process.
as soon as legs had stabilized enough for her to stand up, sen leaned against the corridor’s walls, head downcast as she DESPERATELY attempted to hold back the tears that only continued to well on either side of her eyes. WORDLESSLY, her smaller palm would only clench tighter onto his hand as she sought for comfort she was not allowed to breathe out.

@wynsm said: “ how could you ever conceive how much i need you? ” / post everything, human world :eyes:
how quick was the season to change from summer to fall ; farewells have been bid to the warmth brought upon the summery days as they welcomed the FRIGID AIR OF AUTUMN. the nights were no less chilly than the day, which was why here she was, a thick, folded blanket in her arms as she made her way to the lone teen who sat by the bay window, SEEMINGLY DEEP IN THOUGHT –– undisturbed. while chihiro never knew what he was thinking about often times, the years have allowed her to AT LEAST be familiarized with his quirks; a PRIME EXAMPLE was how easily he would get cold ( which had a high possibility to be followed by an impending flu if it wasn’t addressed early on ) he need not say it, she already knew what to do.
SOON ENOUGH, her arrival by his side was announced with an AUDIBLE flap of a blanket as she began to unfold the sheet. around his shoulders did the sheet go , AND TAKE NOTE of how meticulous she was being , making sure either ends of the blanket were almost snug against each other; enough to keep him warm and cozy.
at his words, fingers were withdrawn and a small laugh softly lit up her features – which now radiated as INCANDESCENTLY as the the moon’s rays that streamed through the glassy panels. ❛ i think a thank you would have been enough. ❜ what a strange yet endearing way to express such gratitude ( well, he really did have a way with words after all ! ) where the sentiment was coming from, she didn’t know. all she did was ensure he wouldn’t be cold after all ! but nonetheless… ❛ hey listen, you know i’ll continue to be by your side, right? ❜ with a dip of her head, a gentle and swift peck was placed upon his cheek. chu ~ ❛ always. ❜
and not just because you need me to, but because i love you.

@guideheart said: “ you did your best. ” from papa naoto!
AND FOR THIRD PLACE –– chihiro ! though facade remained prim and proper as the girl received the bronze medal and the crowd’s applause, slowly did her POISE wither away with every furthering step away from the auditorium. it didn’t take long before tears of frustration halted the girl from walking, resulting in her current state of being carried by her father as they continued to the parked car.
while she knew his words were meant to comfort, chihiro’s mind still kept on coming back to the mishap that had happened earlier. ❛ y - you saw that right, otousan? s - she secretly changed the answer from her whiteboard just because the first answer announced was wrong, and she did it even … even though the time was up already. ❜ petite arms only tightened around the older’s neck as pudgy, sulking features SLUMPED upon folded arms. ❛ t - the judges didn’t even do anything … they didn’t even seem to believe me. ❜ it was her father who taught her how to strive for what’s RIGHT, that’s why she had the BRAVERY to call out the other’s mistake during the quiz bee, but if even the higher ups wouldn’t listen to what she saw… ❛ it’s so so soo unfair ! s - she didn’t deserve that first place. ❜

@gyuuji said: “ you think if you run around taking care of everyone else, no one will notice you’re falling apart. ”
YAE MIKO-SAN WAS UNLIKE ANY OTHER GUEST she had met in the bathhouse. the spirit was rather amiable towards her in a sense; inviting her over to play cards and even more recently, just to sit down and have a chat ( definitely far from those rude and vulgar guests she would come across from time to time. A SHUDDER. ) it was ... a breath of fresh air honestly; to have found a friend in this strange strange place.
work rag was left discarded on the floor as she was once again called over by the older. ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES have passed by and yet, she found them traversing a multitude of conversations already ( mostly it was the child detailing her recent experiences in the bathhouse. )
it had been an enjoyable chatter UNTIL the fortune-teller’s last statement caused sen to shrink away. coal-like hues idly stared at her lap.
IT WAS FAR MORE COMPLICATED than just casting aside her facade of bravery. OF COURSE, she had already wanted to cry; to break down at the fatigue that began to weigh her entire being down with each passing day, at the sleepless nights plagued by the repetitive nightmare of her parents turning into pigs, at the everyday longing for her home back in the human world.
SO BADLY did she wish to weep and complain at the unfairness of it all ! but such luxury was not granted no matter how much she wished for it. instead , if she were to weep and the other spirits found her in such a state, they could easily raise it to the witch of the house. as per their agreement, one complaint from her and she would be off the job. and her parents? they were to remain pigs for ALL ETERNITY.
and so what does she do to distract herself from the sadness that began to brew in her heart? she works on her tasks as diligently as she could: be that efficient worker the guests needed / that errand girl for everyone in the bathhouse / that friend she could be for haku / that last bit of hope her parents had. it had WORKED WELL after all ( for them at least. ) but did yae miko see right through her?
in nervousness did thumbs twiddle with each other while eyes were still downcast. ❛ is it …. is it that obvious ? ❜

@suhndrie said: “i’m going with you, end of discussion.” / from norman!
two water bottles, CHECK. several biscuits, check. a fresh set of clothing, CHECK. a personal letter thanking him for everything and wishing him the very best for his journey to the wall beyond? CHECK. backpack was definitely full of the essential goods she and emma and ray have packed together for the GREAT ESCAPE that would unfold tomorrow. all that was left really was for the bag to be placed near the wall; a little surprise they had for him, and a task that chihiro volunteered to accomplish.
at night time she struck. when she was certain a. lot of the kids have gone to bed, hastily did she sling the pack on her shoulder, and sneakily did she make her way to the entrance. lamp already by her side, at the ready. little did she know that upon reaching the outside, a familiar voice called out to her. lo and behold, the recipient of the SUPPOSED SURPRISE just had to be the one who caught her sneaking out.
you’re really an observant one, aren’t you, norman?
lips were sealed when asked about where she was going, what was the backpack for, what was she going to do, instead, she would wave off her UNWARRANTED ESCAPADE by telling him she wouldn’t take long and she would return soon. and so began his unyielding decision to go with her.
It wasn’t until he said his final words did chihiro realize that it was DEFINITELY FUTILE to argue any further with norman. sure her insistence for him to not come along was strong, but his ADAMANCE was stronger. which left her with no choice. ❛ fine ❜ exhale was followed by a teasing grin across petite lips. ❛ but you gotta keep up, okay? ❜

a free hand continued to pat away the dirt that had accumulated on both knees upon their unexpected landing on the ground earlier. PAT, PAT, PAT ! had it not been for the firm hold her uncle had on her hand, she would have definitely garnered UNWANTED SCRAPES by now �� after having tripped on an unseen tree root that had emerged from below. now that would have definitely spoiled today’s outing in the park!
❛ nope, i’m okay! ❜ assurance was then followed with a cheery smile directed at the older. ❛ thanks for catching me, ‘jichan ❜

when her ojisan says he has good plans … they were only ever RARELY ‘good’ as he believes them to be. and so, hesitant was she to follow him when he led them towards the drive thru of the establishment. timid steps were PRACTICALLY DRAGGING themselves against the pavement. ❛ but yuu-oji! ❜ high-toned was her whine as she called out to her companion. ❛ we don’t even have a car! isn’t this just an order line for those with vehicles ? ❜
