WANDERING EYES AREN ’ T VERY SUBTLE , not that they appear to be anyway . she notices ashe ’ s pair eyeing the home cooked meal shinobu prepared once she open her assorted bento . words unspoken are the loudest but her ears still expect to hear a question . she ’ ll give her some time to be brave enough speak up , for now she tries to swallow that laugh building up …. for about half a second . first , a smile turns then a giggle . covering her mouth shinobu turns away to let out a hearty laugh .
❛ you aren ’ t very subtle about wanting some , are you ? … & you look so silly trying to hide it . i ’ m sorry — ❜

HE ’ S AS FOOLISH AS EVER . she expected as much , for him to be so agreeable in the face of her aggression . those words accumulated over a long time & the lid she so carefully placed atop it all contained cracks . they finally gave way . the smile on her face & chipper tone , the glue that held it all together , couldn ’ t hold it back much longer . her little song & dance of anger made her look like a fool in the presence of his calm . why didn ’ t he show any anger or visually appear disheartened by her words ? she just admitted to lying ; putting on a mask of falsehoods , hiding the true —— more fearful girl behind it . in a way , he & everyone else didn ’ t know the true shinobu . how could he be alright with that ? why ? ... why couldn ’ t she be so reassuring & confident like him ?
THERE WAS RAGE behind her words & it lingered after he spoke . part of her wanted a negative reaction from him ( maybe after suffering there was comfort & familiarity in the taste of cruelty ) . she wanted to argue . pointing her fingers & aiming at a target to release her anger would probably justify the mess she allowed to boil over & spill , but her shameful attempt left her with a shattered pot . ❛ i apologies , rengoku - san . i was being very hostile with you , ❜ shinobu hung her head low . her eyes couldn ’ t even glance at his shadow , she didn ’ t feel disserving to look upon someone like him . like the sun , he was far too bright to look at . her apology was a pathetic attempt at picking up the broken pieces . what was said had been said . there was no taking back those harsh words & yet she wanted to retract them but instead her hands are left with cuts —— an emotional scar acting as a reminder to bottle these emotions better .
❛ i didn ’ t mean it like that ... honest . ❜

@rxkishiya sent : “ i just need to finish what i’m doing, then i’ll sleep. “ ( shinobu kocho )
❛ alright , ❜ shinobu plants herself beside the ink artisan —— an innocent smile paints itself on her lips , ❛ i ’ ll stay awake with you ! ❜ her declaration is childish in tone & in action — similar to protest though to a playful degree . it was a treat to watch hekima immerse herself in the craft of calligraphy . for now she’ll gladly watch until she declares it ’ s lights out .
