day 80 | open
Who: Night & Anyone
Open: Open
When: Day 80
Where: The Ranch, namely out in the pastures
What: After coming back with Rin from a failed trip to the Skyway Night has her own way of handling the situation.
Format: Either or, I'll run with both.
Warnings: Mentions of character death, language.
[Unsurprisingly, it was easy for Night to disappear for any short span of time with little consequence. Back in the days of her nightmarish youth it was a survival technique which she continued to put to use, although for awhile rarely, during her time living among humans. It was second nature to her.
So of course after her failed trip out to the Skyway with Rin she disappeared for two days. Her room was empty, bed untouched, coat left behind, and any other signs of activity were almost nothing. She had never experienced grief before, not to this extent. Anger, frustration, deep sadness and self-loathing yes; but nothing like this. She had never lost something- someone so dear to her before that she didn't know where to start in coming to accept this reality. How did she go on from here? How could she live any life now knowing the one person she ever truly loved was gone?
For awhile she felt lost. Like the small cat who used to belong to a small girl, she had no one to run to for unconditional comfort and love. The memories of her time with Monaka would resurface and she'd be brought to tears every time, unable to stopper the lump in her throat and the pain in her chest from growing.
Spread out over the tall pasture grass she'd been out here for hours and staring up at the sky while flies and bees hummed over her. One hand sat on her chest, just where her heart would be, and the other lay close to her head, in it clutching a few plucked wildflowers. At some point she'd need to return back to where everyone else was, but not today.]

[Rin moved when Night did, so that they didn't accidentally knock their heads together, and once the other demon was settled she got up and took up a new position sitting next to her on the grass, knees drawn up and arms around them.]
When I was little, I got in to a lot of fights. Kids are mean, y'know? And they'd tease me, I'd get angry and fights would happen. One time, I punched a boy so hard I sent him to the hospital.
The teachers were terrified of me. They were cowerin' with the other kids and I was screamin' like a monster, throwin' shit... I was just so angry and I couldn't stop.
Dad came in and I kinda... punched him until I broke his ribs. But he held me there and told me that if I kept actin' like that, I was gonna wind up alone. He said I should use my strength for good, and if I did I could be that cool girl all the boys wanna be with.
I didn't really get what he was sayin' at the time, but he was so... awesome in that moment, I still remember it. And I've fucked up a lotta times since then but I never stopped tryin' to do what he said.

When Rin finishes a breeze blows past them, sending Night's hair over her face.] I'm glad you had someone like that growing up. He sounds like an amazing man. I wish I could have met him. [Another small smile as she looks up at Rin.]
And you're a pretty amazing kid. You'll accomplish great things for this world, I just know it.
no subject
And... I know I am. But I'm nothin' without my friends. Bon taught me that.
[she nudged Night gently with her elbow]
That means you, too.
no subject
The nudge has her glance over at Rin again with another smile, a small fang pokes out from between her lips.]
Well 'm honored to be considered such. You got quite the following of friends here, you know.
no subject
[Speaking oooof...]
Uhm. So... y'ever have any experience with like... bein' attracted to some one?
[Oops that sure is some blushing going on there]
no subject
She looks back down, continuing to ponder the question.] Attracted as in... finding someone physically nice?
no subject
[Rin shifted where she sat, wiggling with her tail twitching behind her back. She stared at her hands, unable to hide that her face was turning an interesting shade of red.]
L-like... uhm... romantically?
no subject
Ah, but I can't really say anything about it being physically! I never thought of her like that... Nor have I with anyone else. [The smile falters.] Why do you ask?
no subject
[Even if Monaka was gone, it was still nice to see that a demon could have that much compassion for a human.]
W-well... uh. I think I might... like some one like that?
no subject
[Night was an oddity to say the least.
Her ears perk up though.]
Oh? Who?
no subject
... Bon.

Rin actually squeaks and buries her face in her hands]
I can't tell him that!

E-everythin'! W-what if he doesn't like me like that?! I was a guy in his world, what if it's too weird for him?!
