What do your elder scrolls ocs wear when not in armor or battle robes? Casual outfits!

Jo usually just wore the Fine Clothes uncle Sheo gave him in that quest, with the cool Mage's Circlet from Savos Aren. Nay got her dress (Belted Tunic) from uncle Alvor's "Help yourself to whatever you need" gift basket. Dubak got a Blacksmith's Apron. I can't recall where he got it... cough, yeah.

Acelta wore variety of Mage's Robes that does fashion damage to Haskill. (after finding out the secret side effect he stopped wearing them)

Sunny is silly :3

3, 26 or 39 for hawkahy

Mayhaps even all three as little a treat

AAAA I could only do one and still make it quick, BUT! I hope you enjoy all the same! 26.) Coming while wearing underwear/pants

The moment Hawkeye has Mulcahy backed up against the wall inside the chaplain's tent, he can feel how fast the man's breathing against him. He's clearly still not used to this. Not all that surprising, really, if he's been wrestling his own lack of awareness of his own nature rather than clear and obvious temptation for all these years. But as Hawk leans to peek through the window and make sure no one's coming, Mulcahy's shaky hands find the front of his bathrobe and grips it into white-knuckling fists as though this is the one point of contact that'll hold him together.

"It's okay," Hawk whispers, a faint bitter flavor on his tongue. He can't look at the ethereal priest. He can't touch his skin. He can't kiss him. There's barbed wire strewn beneath Mulcahy's skull, laced through neural pathways, around lobes. His very own personal crown of thorns, tucked right under the surface. "It's all right, I promise. Hey, hey." When Mulcahy buries his face in Hawk's shoulder, he fights every urge inside of him to break the unspoken rules and kiss his head, but memories of the last time he'd tried and how Mulcahy flinched away left scars that are still swollen red. "It's good. Right?"

"Hawkeye," Mulcahy breathes back, the tickle of hot air melting his neck, dripping desire down his spine. "Please, I-I... Yes, yes, please."

It's the best he's going to get today. Hawkeye bites his bottom lip as he slips his hand between them, palms over Mulcahy's cock trapped beneath his fatigues. It's got to hurt him when Hawk works him over like this, he's sure of it, but the muffled groans against his robe's fabric suggest otherwise. Maybe he's still just so sensitive that anything is good. From what little Hawkeye's gotten out of him, he can barely manage to touch himself without guilt ravaging his soul.

There are days where Hawkeye wants to swim all the way back to some Catholic school where little Johnny Mulcahy was taught to fear any sense of joy, pleasure, experience, delight, and give a dozen nuns a piece of his mind. If they love a man who overturned tables and chased people with a whip so much, then they'd adore Hawkeye Pierce.

But today is different. Today's the other kind of day, the one where Hawkeye wants to make Mulcahy feel so tenderly held and loved on that he forgets the sound of his own name. He forgets whatever they fucking did to him. He forgets everything but Hawkeye.

As Hawk gently grinds the heel of his palm along Mulcahy's hardness, the groans shift into such lovely musical moans that he's almost certain no one else has ever gotten to hear. He drinks them up, his heart racing, his eyes gazing unseeingly through the window. "That's it... C'mon, d'you know how good you're doing?"

A sweet whimper hums against him like silk on skin.

What he wouldn't give to drop to his knees and put his mouth on him instead, really make him see stars. It's not fair that he's had his face fucked and his brain wiped clean a thousand times over and he can't even use what he learned on the very man he's so hungry for. Hungry to hold. To fall asleep with.

Getting too deep here, fella.

When he starts to pick up speed, press a little firmer, something shifts him, and it takes him a moment to realize what it was. Mulcahy's moving his hips, grinding against his palm, and it's so shocking that Hawk freezes in place. Mulcahy huffs, pulls his bathrobe harder, bucks forward one more time before he starts to lean away, but Hawk pushes him firmer against the wall, keeps him there. "No, no, that's good," he coaxes, keeping his voice low and sweet. It takes a long second, but with a shaky breath against him, Mulcahy begins moving once more. Participating. Chasing his pleasure.

It's the first time he's joined in, and it nearly makes Hawkeye dizzy with how the blood rushes straight south.

They work together, Hawkeye providing just enough pressure, Mulcahy providing the pace and the angle, and though he knows he's flirting with danger, he can't stop himself from cupping the back of Mulcahy's head. Like he found a button, the moans pick up in astonishing volume, and Hawk squeezes his eyes shut, takes a chance on faith alone that no one's going to suddenly head this way and need this man who should belong to everyone more than he belongs to Hawkeye, who Hawk is going to have all the same.

And when Mulcahy breaks, his voice cracks on a raw, "Hawkeye—" and nothing could stop him from pulling him tight against his chest, holding him close.

There is no heaven and yet Hawkeye suddenly understands why there are people who believe in it, because it's difficult to imagine this sense of flying and hope and pure delight being something that one rarely gets to receive. He grins, nuzzles Mulcahy's hair. "God. Perfect. That was so good. Hey, how, how are you?"

Sometimes Mulcahy needs to cry. Sometimes he needs to pull away. Very rarely, he'll strike a coy joke, the kind that make Hawkeye burst out laughing from sheer relief. But this time, Mulcahy tips his head up to meet his eyes, takes a deep breath, then bobs up and presses his mouth to Hawkeye's chin.

They pause. Stare. Mulcahy clears his throat. "I-I don't think I aimed that quite where I—"

Hawkeye cups his face in both hands and crushes him into the wall with a breathless kiss, and God help him, but Mulcahy holds him right back.

just sat through the most horrible, awkward, tense dinner I've ever experienced in my whole life

#my bf's family was in town to see the eclipse #he was like 'hey do you wanna get dinner with us after?' #and he's met my entire family so even though i didnt want to it was only fair. #anyway his uncle picks us up at my apartment. his sister is in the car. #no one asks who or how i am and i do not get introduced nor have the chance to introduce myself #for like a good 3-5 minutes. off to a bad start. #we get to the restaurant. a pizza place. his family is already seated. #no one except for his grandparents acknowledge me. they are the only 2 people to talk to me directly for the entire meal. #his grandfather asks some stuff about my life. i answer normally. he veers off into tangents that i can only respond to with 'haha' #or a smile and nod bc they are so personal that i literally have nothing to add #the children in the family spill water everywhere. there is yelling in the public restaurant while my bf goes and gets napkins #like a normal person might do #despite being at a pizza place everyone decides to order an individual dish instead of something to share #this might be fine if there were only 4 of us. there were 10. #they get mad when the food takes over an hour to come #at this point i wished i had ordered a cocktail #his uncle is the most awkward person ive ever met. he quotes outdated memes out loud. #at one point everyone except for me and my bf was on their phones #his grandfather shows me vulgar facebook posts #what is WRONG with people #im going to shower and change into my jammies and have a drink and watch something stupid #i need to cleanse myself of this whole. thing. #txt

for the ask list: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? & Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

AHHH Hello Anon!! Thank you for being so kind as to send me a question from the Fanfic Ask Meme! If anyone else wants to totally make my day and send some more the list can be found HERE. I love chatting about fic and am so grateful that you've taken time out of your day to send this my way!

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

Does angst count as a trope? I love messy angst and miscommunication because it just feels super raw and and human to me. To no ones surprise, I LOVE a good SickFic situation omg bring on the suffering! I'm also very passionate about niche AUs where you can fully tell the author has lived in that world IRL. The omegaverse/mpreg will also always be a guilty pleasure of mine. I love the way different authors tackle those topics, the discussions it brings up about sexuality and gender roles, and how authors are so creative with building their own worlds and lore.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

I hate when woman are made out to be the villain because their existence doesn't fit an author's personal m/m narrative whether it be in RPF or other fictional media. If female characters are going to be included, I personally believe they deserve better. Luckily, there is so much wonderful fic out there, it is very easy to go hmm this one probably isn't for me, then hit the back button and find something else to read, no harm, no foul.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send these my way! I love talking about fic and tropes, and think that fanfic is such a special space because there are so many different tropes that appeal to different people! Are there any that you in particular would like to see me try and explore?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and send me this ask! I hope. you are having a wonderful day and a fantastic rest of your week!

Kicks the door HIHI

GROOVES AND EMP

ABOUT ANGER, WHAT DO THEY FEAR AND RANDOM HC GO

okay 😈 these are kinda long but whatever these were fun

grooves on anger:

grooves is the type to usually keep his cool and not let things get to him-- but when they do he often tries not to outwardly show his anger or disappointment. but unfortunately for him, many things can make him upset. he usually tries to calm himself down before he gets to the point of outwardly expressing his anger, he often uses breathing exercises or closes his eyes for a moment and tries to focus on something else. sometimes he'll even force a smile to try and convince himself and others that he's not seething.

but when that doesn't work and he's still angry, he will huff and scrunch his brows up and grimace. he sometimes will fold his arms as well. his tone will drop significantly and sometimes he speaks in a more cynical and cruel way, on rare occasions even saying something hurtful just to make whoever made him mad feel just the way he does. i think once when he was having a really rough day, he even snapped harshly at his moon penguins during filming and shouted something hurtful at them. of course they were all stunned and grooves immediately regret his outburst towards them but he had to take a moment away from the set to cool off for awhile. he of course regrets any time that he loses his temper (not wanting to be anything like his rival in that regard) but i also think he has a lot of trouble owning up to others when he's hurt them with it and it takes him a long time to apologize.

i also think when grooves is really really mad he sometimes can be rather destructive, though usually this is towards his own property or himself but sometimes his anger overwhelms him so much that he ends up hurting others with it. (as we could see if he is the antagonist of ch2)

empress on anger:

of course as we can see in the game, empress is the type who is quick to anger and this is usually when she feels as though someone has lied to her or betrayed her by not being loyal to her. we saw her resort immediately to destructive means when she threw that poor metro cat and the way she responded to hat kid betraying her.

but i also like to think empress usually is the type to give people an unspoken 'second chance' before she acts on her anger, though usually without telling them what that second chance is exactly. though this can be as simple as giving someone one more chance to repeat what they said if she thinks they're lying to her or give them the chance to retract what they did or said that bothered her. that's why she hesitates at first on killing that one metro cat she accused of touching her jewelry and didn't immediately kill hat kid when she caught her taking the timepieces from the vault, when it's clear that she can if her reaction to hitting her is anything to go by. in a sense she'll "hear someone out" and if the answer she gets is one that she doesn't want to hear, she'll explode into even more anger which either comes in the form of shouting or being violent towards whatever frustrated her.

you can usually visibly see in her body language and expressions when she is angry or becoming angry. this can usually be seen by the typical signs of anger in cats, like her tail swishing or her ears being folded back or her eyes being dilated. sometimes her fur will raise and she will squeeze her hands together, her claws becoming even more prominent than before. she'll even tap her fingers rhythmically on the counter to show how bothered she is. she usually uses intimidation first before she outwardly acts on her anger as well and most who cross her back down when she shows signs of being upset to avoid being attacked by her. 

grooves on fears:

grooves is afraid of a few things. he often tries to stay a confident individual and pretend like he's not afraid. but he definitely fears everything that he's worked for never amounting to anything in the end. he fears dying alone and unwanted by those around him. sometimes he feels as though that's all life will ever be for him and he's terrified of it so he fights as hard as he can to keep that from happening. in a way, i think it's to escape from what happened to him in his youth (or those moments when audiences would attack him) because he would do anything for that to never happen to him again.

sometimes he's also afraid of becoming just like his rival in every way, especially conductor's worst aspects, and any time he catches himself acting like him he's filled with dread.

he's also got some stage fright without his sunglasses on and is often afraid to look anyone other than his rival in the eye for fear that they'll see who he really is inside and all of his flaws.

empress on fears:

empress outwardly looks as though she's a rather fearless lady, if anything she seems to strike fear into others more than she seems to be afraid of anything. but i feel as though this is because she fears being vulnerable and getting too close to others because of what could happen if she does. she tends to keep others at arms length and never lets many people get close to her because the few times that she did let someone in, they betrayed her trust and some even broke her heart. so in a way, she's closed off because she's afraid of getting hurt.

she also fears having no wealth to fall back on because i feel like as empress was growing up, she didn't have the most wealthy upbringing, having to work very hard to get where she is now and if something threatens that, she's likely not going to take it very well.

random hc grooves:

i like to think grooves has a collection of unique sunglasses and hair picks that he wears on different occasions with matching outfits. i also think he will paint the claws on his feet different shades and on occasion wears jewelry, usually necklaces or hair jewelry in the feathers of his brows or in his hair.

random hc empress:

although empress isn't usually outwardly affectionate to others, she sometimes shows how she cares about someone by giving them something. of course, she always has some excuse prepared like calling it payment or reward for someone helping her with her cause. but it's hard to deny that it wasn't intended as a special gift for that someone if it's something that appeals to their custom tastes, like a ring studded with their favorite gemstone or another piece of jewelry embedded with their name. or even going out of her way to travel across the metro herself to retrieve a special gift for someone when there's only one more in stock.

ballet au lol 🩰

YES THANK YOU ANON WOW

Derek is a dancer coming back from rehabbing a horrible injury (lower back?? fucked up his knee??) and has a chip on his shoulder because a) he totally has stage fright! b) has a reputation for being surly and overly intense. Pre-injury he was a rising star in the ballet company and had a lot more confidence but now he is a man humbled, quiet, relieved not to be in charge, but he also feels like he has a ton to prove! Especially since his mom and his older sister are famous dancers.

The ballet troupe is smallish and Stiles is in charge of logistics and MARKETING! Because he is a noted uncoordinated klutz. He's all about strategy and reviewing data and making things happen, and he is the absolutely bane of Derek's existence. He wants Derek in photoshoots, he sometimes coordinates with the artistic director (Lydia) on people's roles, Derek finds the way he talks about engaging customers manipulative, and tbh Stiles can be abrasive and annoying! So smart but so mean!

Derek has a recognizable everything face so once he has returned Stiles wants him to do an ad photoshoot so they can slap his picture on the side of a bus and this just makes Derek feels even more pressure. Resents Stiles for this and also because it's compromising Derek's anonymity. His only respite is teaching children's ballet classes, which is something he started doing while rehabbing his injury and also because the pay to be a ballet dancer isn't great at this small troupe!

Derek thinks once his career is over he would like to teach

But sometimes, when Derek is teaching these first graders, who do not care if he is weird and quiet, he notices Stiles watching. He thinks at first Stiles is going to want to use this for marketing but Stiles never says anything about it, just stays to watch Derek and the kids.

Then at some sort of holiday dance event Derek runs into his horrible ex, Kate Argent, who is a principal at a much larger and more prestigious company, and panics...only for Stiles to appear, wrap an arm around Derek like they're dating, and say "hey babe, who's this?"

#answered #ask meme #i do not know how ballet companies or marketing works. sorry to everyone who is like 'you are so wrong' sorry omg #teen wolf #sterek #LOOK i just think in this instance fake dating would be perfect #derek is so tongue tied and so grateful that he can't help himself melting into the arm hold and is like 'she was just leaving' #even though stiles surely knows about derek and kate's infamous and very public break up #it was a PR nightmare and stiles was an assistant at the time #so he can only be snubbing kate. and kate probably knows this. and derek does not know why stiles is rescuing him #and that night he goes home and he can't stop thinking about it. and that's when stiles goes from annoying to intriguing #meanwhile stiles had a hate attraction thing for derek since day 1 and then HORRIBLY he saw derek teaching first graders and CAUGHT FEELING #this is like a 40k fic i do not have time to write i already have 2 teen wolf wips help #also shout out to the les mis ballet/opera au that i think about daily #edit scott is also a rising ballet star and he and derek hate each other #the argents do run their own company maybe? the prestigious one? huge scandal when allison leaves it to join derek's troupe #the artistic director is thinking about making their nutcracker balanchine and derek supports this bc #he likes balanchine and he finds it classic and traditional #and stiles is like you're a fucking idiot. it's tired. it's boring. we need to do what PNWB did #we aren't a carbon copy of new york city ballet. #derek doesn't speak to him for weeks

Due to the persistent amount of hate I have been receiving over the past nearly two months, I will be instituting some general ask box principles in terms of what asks I will - or, rather, won’t - be answering.

First and foremost, I will no longer be answering asks regarding the following:

G!P and my views thereof

RPF and my views thereof

Specifics on: 1) My gender labels 2) My romantic/sexual orientation 3) My age

These are not new boundaries, but I figured I would list them here.

I will be adding to this list when/if more topics come up.

Second, I will no longer be answering asks that respond to other asks.

What this means is that (with one potential exception), if someone sends in a question regarding, for instance, my views on, I don’t know, calico cats and someone else pulls a quote from it critiquing said views - I’m not going to answer it!  If you want to remark on something I’ve said in a reply, answer it on the original post itself.

There are a couple of reasons for this:

It keeps the discussion all in one logical place, so I’m not cross-referencing multiple posts or following links to earlier posts or, on occasion, answering multiple asks related to the same post.

It should hopefully cut down on the bad faith asks, given that most, if not all, of them have happened on anonymous.

I suppose you can still send those asks in; I just won’t be answering them.

Emoji anons are the only exception to this.  However, as before, I can still choose to answer those or not at my discretion.

Hopefully, this will help alleviate some of the issues I’ve been having over the past nearly two months.  If not, I may return to this and modify it.

We’ll see.

#musings #psa from bandit #bandit does an update #i will be linking to this on my pinned post #and have it as an easily accessible link in the bio #and with my other desktop links #i don't know how much this will help BUT i think that it's helpful to at least have that concise list of asks i definitely will not answer #but anyway! #yep! #this is the new thing! #i don't want to turn anon off because some of you do send in delightful anons #or use it to send in memes or stuff like that #and i don't want to cut y'all off from it #so - here's a potential middle path #and we'll just have to see how it goes

well someone's eager holy shit there's a crossed swords emoji???

Okay. Okay this is I think the last semi-fleshed-out AU I've got in the wings that's not on the masterlist. @gunhorse is to blame for the core concept, I'm on the hook for a heck of a lot of details.

Unrest has been brewing among the religious right of Ylisse. It began quietly, after Exalt Emmeryn and her younger brother Chrom went on a diplomatic mission to Plegia following the ascension of the new Sovereign -- and only Emmeryn came back. It grew louder once news arrived that Prince Chrom -- last known wielder of Falchion -- would be wedded to the Plegian Sovereign. And in the years since, it has only built further and further, to a point that Emmeryn can no longer ignore it without risk.

Upon receiving this news from Emmeryn, Chrom elects to go back to Ylisse to put to rest the unfounded rumors that he's been sold off, ensorcelled, or corrupted -- and Robin chooses to join him, along with their young daughter Lucina, not yet three years old. While Robin hits it off with the Shepherds, Chrom has a significantly harder time with the religious zealots, who will not be swayed even by having him there in the flesh and seeming perfectly normal...and eventually, they pull out a Secret Weapon: the recently acquired Holy Relic, the Book of Naga.

Chrom takes up the book unthinkingly, leafing through it without a thought...but it's not Chrom who closes it with such great care.

Having taken on a vessel through contact with the instrument of her will, Naga assumes rule of Ylisse in place of Emmeryn, and seeks to put the Fellblood who attempted to corrupt her lineage in line. Robin, his daughter held hostage by the divine puppeting his husband's body, desperately searches for a solution, something to free Chrom from Naga's control...all while trying to hide that Lucina is not as pure-blooded as Naga assumes.

oh god. oh god guy who loves eavesdropping fic. oh god theres only one way i can do this and it's SO self indulgent WWWWW

so my fave thing is sym listening to sol+dys having their Awkward Teenage Feelings abt each other and just being like :D abt it the whole time so like. i think sol is hanging out with sym outside on a scouting expedition and is using hte time to vent their Teen Feelings!!! about the Cool Boy They Like!!!!! to someone who a) thinks dys is cool also and b) Will Not Tell Anyone (they have stressed this point to him multiple times) (they may have taken him by the shoulders and shook to make it clear Dys Counts As Someone) (sym who is thinking abt dys making htat cute bracelet for sol: :) ok)

i actually think either this would be cute as. sym listening to sol/dys pining and just being like :D for a few scenes. OR we do my favorite and turn this into eavesdropping fic. which is to say dys wanders nearby and hears and is like. he's just. he's ?????????????????? ???????? ?????????????? ????????? sol has a CRUSH......... on. on. (guy who can't even think it in his mind he's bewildered)

i guess they hook up at the end but that's not as important to me as dys having to sit there listening to sol list out every single thing they like about him (it's a long list) and not running bc he cant let them know he's HERE thats EMBARRASSING

#sorry this is more soldys + sym but. so it goes! #sym meanwhile is having a GREAT time #he definitely does ask sol at one point 'why DONT you just kiss him if you want to so badly' and sol is like WEL #(cant answer.)

Hi Sam!

Do you mind sharing how you write your fics? Do you have a process? A starting point?

Also, I know a lot of ppl talk "show not tell" in writing, but how do you know if you're telling instead of showing (& vice versa)? That's the part of writing I struggle with most, cause I never know if I'm showing or telling.

heyo roshie! i've answered a similar ask before but i don't mind sharing how i write/my process! in all honesty it isn't much of a process but more of a 'what concept can i daydream about while doing stuff that'll evolve into a solid idea' type of thing lolol.

i guess my first step is getting inspired? this can look like many different things, but to me it looks like talking to friends, consuming media outside of the fandom you're writing for, deriving from your own experiences, stuff like that. a really good example of this is the ficlet i have on here, time, which is based off of personal feelings but twisted enough so it fits the von hagen dynamic.

if i like the concept enough, i'll start developing it in my head or ping pong it with friends to build it. i guess this is my 'outlining' stage even though i don't actually get down and write an outline myself. you know how every story has a beginning, middle, and end? well, if i can get 2/3, i'll start writing. like for the current fic im writing! i have the beginning and middle, but i haven't planned for the end yet. (i have an extremely vague idea where i wanna go with it tho, so i'll count it as a win) ((actually, most of the times i rarely have fic endings planned and if i can be my own worst critic, you can clearly tell. my openings are usually pretty good but some of my endings, to me, fall flat)

from there? i just write. i do a lot of editing while i write and the one thing i swear by is using a tts (text to speech) reader parse though my fic and read it for me. (i need to go back and edit the first chapter of return to sender bc i posted it without bc i was anxious but also wanted to go to bed lol). it's why my writing has a lot of commas. i like the pauses in tts lolol. after that i just chuck it onto gramarlly and post when i feel like i'll start to nitpick at myself. it's a habit i have with a lot of my academic papers but this reminds me that what i write doesn't have to be perfect. my target audience is me (and my friends), this type of writing should be met with liberty and warmth. i don't have to follow a rubric or a guide. it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be.

as for your second question, i can tell you what i think seeing and telling is based off of what ive picked up reading other peoples stuff. i think 'showing' has a lot more metaphors, actions, and implications/inferences. let's say you wanted to convey that it was cold. you might not put that it was cold, but you could put that a character shivered and burrowed into their blanket. you're implying that it's cold with an action. showing, to me, looks more like cause and effect and blunt statements. here you state that it's cold, causing your character to shiver. or it's so cold that your character's breath is showing.

im in a weird third camp that is 'talking'. a lot of my fics are dialogue heavy but they do get a lot of points across, so there's that option LOLOL

but yeah! i hope this answers your questions! thanks for dropping by!!

#roshie-writes asks #roshie-writes #sam answers #i honestly get so flattered when people ask for my advice bc like #i haven't been on the writing scene for long and you want lil ol *me* to help you? golly sure! #which now that i think about it makes sense bc i haven't been here for long so i'm also still learning the ropes hehe #*points at galena and zak and ace/quarterweeb* those are peoples writings i thoroughly enjoy tho and i wanna write more like them #they just feel like proper book writers and idk bro but that's the goal #have u seen that sandy cheeks meme that goes 'he has such a way with words' #yeah that's me @ all of them LMAO #i really admire them as u can probably tell LMAO #if someone ever asks me for a fic rec list 90% of it is gonna be filled with the #their fics #bc i like their fics a lot and could probably write wax poetic about them lolol #anyway im getting carried away i hope i have answered your questions!!!

SEND IN “KABEDON” TO PIN MY MUSE AGAINST THE WALL. (from Dera based on our discord convo)

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @whiskeysmulti

Haru had mayyybe teased Gokudera just moments prior. She had turned to walk away after she started feeling a bit too flustered. You see, it's important that they don't see you blushing, or you've already lost the battle. So before she loses the battle with herself and go red like a ripe tomato, she walked off citing that she'll go check on something in the kitchen.

She's pinned against the wall, and there is a look in his eyes that sends a shiver down her spine-- and not in a bad way. She averts her eyes, but a hand on her chin directs her to resume eye contact.

The smaller of the two flushes a deep crimson, almost regretting the way she was teasing him earlier. This must be what they mean by biting off more than you could chew. Did she want to fight back? A small part of her was telling her yes, but another part of her was saying that if she did-- things may end up escalating, and fast.

Blinking innocently, "Ehhh? Did Haru tease you too much?"
