( Cyno ) No words, just holds her hand while leading her through the crowd. He grip. He very grip. Also, totally lent her his robe because Hakuno robe rights. She shall not go robeless into this gentle night. He's glaring at anyone who dares glare at them. Move. He wants to show her the places >: (.

it smells like you... ‎how comforting.

— ‎ and it is her only solace amidst the bustling crowd, ‎ perhaps. ‎ so used to vast expanse of a solitude, ‎ the sudden cramped space within the hustle and bustle of people everywhere was... ‎ different. ‎always eager to learn more ‎ / ‎ understand, ‎but such initial curiosity and fascination was quick to turn to an overwhelming feeling. ‎why ? ‎ ‎ ( what a stupid girl. ‎you can't be on your own, ‎ yet you can't be with other people either ) unconsciously, ‎she shrinks into herself, ‎hand clutching onto the cloak generously lent by the other.

cyno's cloak, ‎and she's sure that no other garment could've provided her the same kind of comfort. ‎truth be told, ‎ this wasn't nearly enough to combat the cold of the night but that hardly mattered to her ‎ —— ‎ not when the emptiness of her hand was filled with his. ‎ hakuno is all too familiar with harsh glares and eyes more like daggers; ‎this was a less severe case, ‎but the heavy weight of those eyes are felt by her nonetheless. ‎the onlookers are quick to look away when met with the glare far more intense vermillion. ‎blinking, ‎ timid hazels peer up at her companion for just an instance. ‎had he sensed her discomfort...? ‎how curious... ‎( and pointless, she'd think ) ‎ ‎she's always been so silent with it, ‎ and her pain; ‎but then again, ‎ he'd always had a knack for understanding her, ‎ being there for her.

nimble steps hold a bit more confidence to them, ‎the crowd no longer so daunting when she had cyno to guide her. ‎ no words are needed, ‎really, ‎as tender gaze drops to focus on their intertwined hands. ‎ the maiden's dainty hand is held with a secure grip, ‎ and it feels as though he was trying to keep her safe, ‎not wanting to lose her to the crowd. ‎ ( she doesn't want that either ‎ / ‎please keep me close ‎ / ‎to stay by your side is all i want. )

breathing out a sigh of relief, ‎hakuno's hand holds onto his just as tightly.

unprompted, ‎ ‎always accepting ! ‎ ‎ @xpeculiariity ‎ ♡
