[ ...she goes wide-eyed. very wide-eyed, ears pricked up and forward as she licks her nose aaand abruptly sidles behind Kaito to peer around his legs. ]
Um.
I. ...I don't know if that's a good idea.
[ but he's wearing the same sort of expression, all nervous and unsure and wanting anyway ]
[ ...both of them stop to look at him. then at Miku, then back at each other ]
...He's always been trying to make up for everything. It never made us happy.
I thought...
If I fixed things, if you were happy, then I wouldn't have to anymore. But... mmm. You took care of me, so... it's only fair that I do the same for you.
[ Kaito and the wolf—Lilith?—look at each other again. then she picks herself up and start trotting over to Yonah, her steps slowing a little as she gets near the end of their own range. other than that and the way Kaito's curled his hands tightly into fists, neither of them show signs of discomfort ]
[ looking up and over from where he's standing. it isn't like he couldn't hear, but... ]
...as a rule, I don't like seeing other people suffer. And...
If she liked you enough that you would think well of her... I've heard enough to make some educated guesses. I highly doubt you would be the kind of person I would dislike, and if our positions were switched... I wouldn't want someone I liked to be alone.
But I also know what it's like to see someone with a familiar face and have them not be who you wanted at all. So if you'd rather, we'll leave you alone.

How are we supposed to be your lover if we're busy being your babysitter? We're already all worn out.
[ —and Kaito looks mortified, hissing back at her ]
And I'm handling it. Nobody asked for your opinion.
[ she bares all her teeth at him in reply, starting to bristle ]

[ her expression falters a little ]
Then, you can--
[ and the magpie bursts out with a sudden chatter and an exclamation of ]
But don't you want to make up for everything by protecting us now? We thought that would make you happy.

But the way it ended hurt you. So...I want to give you some way to make up for it. Once and for all, so you don't have to worry about it any longer.
no subject
...Miku, I'm always going to worry over making a mistake like that again. If only to make sure that I don't. But...
The way it ended hurt me because I hurt you. You're the one who gets decide when I'm forgiven for that or not.
DAY 222
...Don't leave them behind.
Don't be like us.
