Thanks for the Memories

[Waru]

Waru had taken a cozy spot on the sidelines planting herself on the ground in a side sitting posture. Her feet were pointed out towards her left side as she anchored her right arm to the ground to prop herself up on. She watched with wide eyes and a faint reminiscent smile as the two women talk amongst each other. She couldn’t help, but feel a connection between their passive-aggressive behavior. It reminded her of her own squabbles with her deranged brother. Normally when they found themselves at odd ends they would normally result in passive-aggressive arguments such as this. Except there, blades would clash as blood was spilled. Still, despite there disagreements they cared for one another as siblings should. This sudden emotion brightened her face as she genuinely laughed at the two in silent.

Suddenly her attention quickly focused on the snake by her side. Her gaze softened after remembering her brother allowing herself to escape the illusion she had placed up for the world to see. Her attention towards the creature seemed more mature than she originally displayed in the past. She smiled warmly at the creature as he slithered back to Valerys side. She briefly waved muttering ”Bye-bye.

With the creature gone, she resumed her status as a spectator listening to the final bits the two had to say. She watched a bit surprised by the form of affection Valerys displayed towards Set. Her face turned bashful as she covered her mouth in response. Her memories of her brother quickly scattered to the four winds as this is not the type of kinship she had thought the two originally shared. Waru tried desperately to disengage the connection these two had with her own sibling as her mind began to roam freely. Suddenly the voice within her mind abruptly appeared saying only one word, ”Duck”. Immediately her mind stop racing as another portal appeared before her launching a smaller size book towards her. The tome collided into her forehead causing a yelp to escape her lips. Now on the floor wailing in pain as tears began to form once again. ”Ahhhh! Big sister why are the books only attacking me. What wrongs have I committed to offend literate?” This time tears were rolling down the side of her face, ”All I wanted was some ice cream.”

Unlike Valerys, as the flasher ran Set wasn't merciful, with a flash of glowing red electricity 5 needles would fling off her finger tips in a motion as if brushing him off before they slid through his back and neck. A look of disdain crossing the cats face before she looked back when Val called Honor a sham, before Set could snap back at her she thought about it, much more mentally acute than Krystal. "Fair... Lets call it Pride than."

"Ahh that's no fun." The crimson cat pouted while Valerys turned down the fight, she wanted to get more hands on with them both. Set would puff slightly like a child for a moment while she packed up the sword and the snek boi returned. Although as she spoke up again stepping closer holding her shoulder and her spear. It almost sounded like a threat before the Kedoin kissed her and Set would begin to purr deeply kissing back passionately smiling against her lips while her arms would drape across her shoulders pulling her into an embrace. For the moment her sttitude was extremely positive while she was afectionate toward Valerys.

However.

As she heard the yelp Waru let out and her eyes glanced to the white haired girl seeing her holding her head and yet another book, her attitude turned the same color as her aura as she spun away from Valerys seething with Wrath. "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE!!!" Set roared, not to anyone in particular but the universe, somehow she felt protective of the little snowflake. After a deep shaking breath her attitude would round back to friendly for the snake while she looked back to Valerys with a small smile reaching to hold her hand for a moment before crossing the dirt to Waru bending down to rub her head once more.

"Are you okay sweetie?..."

OOC: Unsettling foe (Intimidate check vs the universe? lmao)

[OOC: Well, it has been fun! Sorry to dip out but I'm gonna need to take advantage of these items. ]

Now why is this one being so affectionate toward her? Valerys wondered, If she is supposedly so evil? It was an interesting piece of the puzzle that Valerys storred away in her mind for use later. "She was happy that you kissed her," Akumu said in draconic and chuckled. Valerys did not entertain Akumu with a response, knowing that he was being facetious, but as if to point out the truth of his statement the universe dropped a pair of panties and a bra into her lap -- a lingerie dress. Valerys stuffed the thing into her messenger pack and huffed as she grabbed all of it and checked it over her shoulder.

Seeing the two of them together, and Set not being very destructive, Valerys felt that she could leave without worrying that something might happen to Waru. Besides she knew that despite her submissive appearance, Waru was a true warrior. "Well, now that the universe has had a little hiccup and I've collected all these goods," she said, looking at Waru and Set, "it's probably about time that I go and make use of some of them." The red dragon circled her feet and looked up at her curiously as she spoke. Valerys reached down and reabsorbed the creature she had just created.

"Hopefully I'll see both of you again since you're in the Land of Wind -- kind of my stomping ground -- feel free to come by the Senpu Dojo any time while you're around." Then Valerys looked closer at Set -- "or at least whenever you are feeling a bit better." Valerys turned around and started walking away, Akumu slithering at her side and asking about all of that in draconic, wishing to know the details. 

"Goodbye Ice Queen and Red Demon," Valerys said and giggled, holding up her left hand as she walked away and waving, "I'm sure we'll see one another soon..." And then, in a brief moment, she would be gone.

[exit with treasure~]

[Waru]

Waru crawled back up to her feet rubbing the steams of tears from her eyes as she pocketed the other book that had hit her. She gently rubbed her cheeks with the back of her wrist as she tried to claim her splitting headache. She shared a faint nod to Set who asked if her being as well, ”For now. It seems the universe is trying to send me a message in a most frightening way.” Her attention shifted to Valerys whom seem to be having a field day with all the goodies the universe had provided with her.

Waru head slightly shifted towards the side with a bit of surprise in her log soaked eyes. Their reunion seemed to be cut short as Valerys announced her departure from the group. She silently whimpered at the mention of departure and shifted her attention toward the snake-like creature. Once she said her good-byes her attention shifted back towards Set imagining her displeasure about the situation. ”Sooo….you thinking about putting on some pants yet?” Waru jested trying her best to lighten her mood on their friend's departure. Hoping she wouldn’t revert back to her upsetting self. Which surprisingly was never directed towards her, for the moment.

[Titan of Stone]

"I'll see you then~" Set purred and waved as Valerys headed off, she found it surprising the shapeshifter would be so okay with leaving her with the vanilla cutie. However she would shrug and look back to the girl with a smile. Her fingers still lightly trailing through her hair from rubbing her poor head. Although when she spoke up Set's ears raised up giving the girl her attention.

"Awww, don't like me naked? I thought I looked good." Set responded teasing as well in form with Waru's jest. Her smile and eyes playful as she turned on the spot proud of the model-like figure that her host, and by extension she, had. Her crimson tail would playfully brush along the girl's cheek before Set stopped with a soft giggle. "I also don't see any clothes around."

[Waru]

As the woman’s tail brushed softly against her cheek a soft chuckle escaped her lips. The touch was quite foreign, but strangely pleasant in a ticklish manner. As Set’s tail left her presence she began to ponder on her latest statement. Why did actually happen to her clothes before her arrival? Perhaps she was a nudist and such a line of questioning would be offensive towards her. However, she didn’t seem to oppose the idea of wearing clothes. A furrowed brow appeared as she began to ponder on it for a moment till a joyful glee escaped her lips. Waru quickly dropped to her knees and pulled her pack from over her shoulder and began rummaging through it. As she searched the context of her bag her attention shifted towards the distance from where she had come and noticed a strange sight. A strange misshaping creature lurked in the distance watching the pair. Waru head dropped to her shoulder as she observed the misshaping being for a moment and shot her attention back to Set. ”This is why we wear clothes. To avoid creepy guys like that from gawking.” Her head shot back up and raised a fist towards the unknown creature, ”GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE YOU PERV!!!”

After her outburst, she returned to the contexts of her bag quickly rummaging through it to find something of worth. She pulled out heaps of clothes from her bag as tossing them to the side proclaiming them not the right style. Her traveling wardrobe consisted of a few dresses, casual attires, rave getups, and stage clothes she had stolen. Eventually, she gave up her attempts and released a loud sigh of disappointment. Glancing up towards Set, she observed her taller figure and bigger bust. She possessed no clothes that would fit the glamazion as she was quite smaller than her. Admitting defeat she began to stuff her clothes back into her pack as she glanced over to the misshaping creature. It seemed the creature now came into possession of a red balloon and was making attempts to lure the girls over. Waru suddenly snapped back to her bag after she finished packing it and went to her side pouch. Carefully she pulled out a piece of clothing that was neatly rolled up. She quickly unraveled it to reveal a large black sweater that fit rather big on her when she wore it. When she wore the sweater it would always reach past her mid-thigh meaning it should fit Set pretty well.

Waru paused for a moment then hugged the sweater as she rose to her feet to meet Set’s gaze. ”You can use my sweater while we find you some proper clothes to wear, but you have to promise me you will give it back. It was a gift from someone who’s not with me anymore.” Waru eyes flickered crimson for a moment as a stern look appeared on her face. Her cheerful bubbly expression vanished at the mention of her beloved sweater. The idea of her ever loaning her sweater out would have been quickly abolished. However, Set still possessed a charm about her that had weakened her judgment. If Set’s would agree to the terms Waru has set, she would willingly hand over her sweater.

[Titan of Stone]

Set raised a brow as she brought up the the clown in the distance and with a sigh she would snap calling down a bolt of lightning on the clown dismissing it so the red balloon would float through the sky. However the girl's urgent need to cloth the dark cat seemed slightly insulting but she chalked it up to being uncomfortable to inexperienced. Although whenever she presented a sweater to Set she blinked curiously seeing the way she felt about it.

"Its okay." Set spoke softer than before her hands gently pushing it back into Waru's making sure it stayed where it belonged before kissing her forehead. After that she would step back and focus letting out her hair into a wide crimson veil behind her like a sheet of an aurora however only hued in red.

"I'll compromise, for you." The strands then slipped over her skin conforming to her shape taking the appearance of a red diamond textured bikini, her sides leaving gaps to show her red skin though her intimates were covered now. As she finished dressing up she waited a moment to see if Waru reacted any differently.

[Waru]

Waru remained silent as Set’s politely declined her offer. She wasn’t quite sure if she should feel offended or relieved she didn’t borrow her sweater. As she absently stared at her sweater taking a moment to debate about the situation. She was quickly brought back to reality with a sudden kiss to the forehead. The sudden display of affection caused her face to flush as she glanced quite nervously at her unaware of what had transpired after her quick space adventure. However, this moment of nervousness passed when she watched with bewilderment as Set crafted her own clothing from her hair.

Waru watched with starstruck eyes as she completed her attire. She became fascinated with what was transpiring before her. Now her face blushed for a new reason as endless possibilities for different wardrobes raced a crossed her mind. ”That’s so freaking cool and it’s cute! OH! Think of all the different combinations I can create! I can get that one shirt I wanted last summer! Can it change colors! Does it feel like your hair or the clothing material!? I imagine it would be like hair! EEEEEEE! I NEED TO FEEL IT! No that is rude…..Can I touch it? No, still rude I think. Wait! Can my hair do it? You think my hair would feel nice as a shirt? Touch my hair!” Waru’s face burned red as she continued to rapidly ask more and more questions about this ability. Her mind quickly drifted off once again escaping the atmosphere of reality into infinite possibilities of clothing designs. She clenched her sweater tightly to her chest as her pale face was lit up like fireworks. 

Without realizing it she was rolling a handful of her own hair between her fingers feeling the silky smooth texture and imagining it being turned into clothes. After this sudden display of self-affection, she began leaping up in down in place clenching tighter to her own sweater while twirling about in a circle.  She continued this for a moment till suddenly without warning she stopped. Her hyper state quickly vanished as she glanced towards Set with a large smile and hungry eyes as she waited for the answers to her questions.

[Titan of Stone]

"Hehe slow down sweety." Set grinned seeing the beautiful girl's interest in what she did while gently holding her shoulders to slow her bouncing. As she looked intot he girl's brilliant blue eyes she would sigh with a smiles she focused on her hair and her bikini top shifted its shape growing into more of a jacket(?). "It can change colors but you'll have to dye your hair to get those colors, these are usually purple given my host."

"Here." Set answered clearly cutting off the girl's little issue with rudeness by trailing her touch down Waru's arms to her hands before guiding one hand to her waist, where the jacket now reached, and the other to her hair letting the little beauty feel the similar, smoothness though the jacket had more texture from how it was weaved together.

"Of course you can." Set replied with a smile before her hand moved up gently running her fingers through her pure white hair feeling the smoothness. The texture spoke volumes of her care with her locks, Set thought of it for a moment envisioning the young beauty in a white version of her outfit.

"Your hair would make beautiful clothes." Set answered softly while her red eyes looked into Waru's blue having become much closer from feeling each others hair. "I could teach you if you wanted, though I would need a small thing in advance."

[Waru]

”Awww. I don’t want to dye my hair.” She mumbled in disappointment. The mere thought of dying her hair sent shivers down her spine. Waru had always prided herself on the care of her hair and the idea of polluting it with harmful chemicals would only degrade the quality and care she had poured into her appearance. Sadden by this fact, her hands were guided away to feel the texture of Set own hair and suit. She took a minute to feel the texture of both and smiled weakly at Set. ”Wish I could change my hair at will.” She was a bit jealous by her earlier statement of changing hair color.

Waru smile brightened a bit at the compliment towards her hair. It was nice to hear that her hair would have made lovely clothing. However, the idea of simply wearing white would eventually lose its sex appeal to her. Waru’s attention finally zeroed in on Set who was much closer to her than she originally remembered. She nervously looked at her with a half-crocked smile as she proposed teaching her for a small price.

”And what would that be?” Releasing her grip around the woman to cross her arms in front of her body waiting to hear Set request.

[Titan of Stone]

"Well it doesn't have to be bad, you can layer the colors inside, or even through out the white. I think it'd be really pretty to have like a rainbow under your hair." Set smiled a soft purr echoing form her chest as she gently pushed her hands past Waru's shoulders catching the young woman's white hair and gently fanning it around her. "There are also safe natural ways you can do it if you're worried about your hair's health?"

Set tried to reassure the young woman given she was so excited about it and given the care she put into her hair it seemed a reasonable worry about chemicals. Although as she asked Set what she would want the crimson cat grinned playfully and put her hands behind her back. "Okay, close your eyes for five seconds." (Inuzuka's Charm)

[Waru]

Waru attention slowly shifted away from the woman at the mere mention of layering the inside of her hair in a rainbow pattern. Her face was deprived of any emotion as she thought carefully about the idea. However, the thought of being on stage with such flashy hair put a sour taste in her mouth. Without warning, the young woman threw her arms up across her chest in an “X” formation hissing out a buzzing sound. ”Bzzz-bzz! Waru doesn’t approve of this technique.” It seemed the more Set tried to sell her on the idea of dying her hair for the technique the more reluctant she became to even learning it.

As she protested the idea of learning something that would require to physically alter herself in some form. She noticed Set carefully slip her hands behind her back. Curious, she tilted her head to the side as Set instructed her to close her eyes. She couldn’t help but wonder what she was up to. Her curiosity caused a torrent of possibilities to course through her mind as she slowly began to shut her eyes. Suddenly, the voice that resided within her mind surfaced once again muttered a few words that caused her eyes to exploded open with a wild look in her eye. ”She is hiding a present for you!”

The mere mention of a present sent the young woman in a frenzy as she disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye; Shunshin. She immediately appeared behind Set glaring into her empty hands with excitement plastered all over here face, ”Hey there is no presents back here just your hands. I’ve been duped!” The voice began to laugh hysterically at her foolishness as she began to pout. Waru let out a harsh sigh as she glanced up at the back of Set head. ”Miss what are you doing? Are we trying to play a game of guess what is behind your back? Cause I think I just cheated. Also, I don't think I want that technique anymore. It's cool and all but just doesn't seem my style. Plus, people are always trying to set me on fire so clothes made of hair seem like a really bad idea.”  She pulled away taking a few steps back while staring at the cloud formation above them. She tried to recount all the time's people have tried to set her on fire and shivered at the thought. "I think I would be in panic mode all the time to get my clothes dirty."

[Titan of Stone]

The reaction of the young girl made Set tilt her head a bit confused, however as she swiftly moved The crimson cat would shift to look at her bright red flowing off as if the wind of her movements were visible. Her talk of a present confused her before expressing concerns about being set on fire, Set would lightly nod as that had been a concern before, but that was a while back.

"It actually reinforces your hair making it tough along your skin. Cut me." Set tried to reassure the girl with a smile offering her arm where the red material shimmered across her arm. The material would pull snug across Set's upper body looking shiny as the texture became stronger.

"The technique is meant to be a full catsuit but eventually you can make it look however you want like I do. There are bigger stronger abilities that use it too. Like dinosaurs." Set tried to sell it one more time, given the girl's child-like hyper imagination another interest may keep her baited. Ironically the whole experience showing off more of Set's actual personality rather than the chaotic beast.

[Waru]

"Cut you?”

Waru tilted her head doubtfully, she was a bit concern of the woman’s invitation to validate the abilities durability. Her bright smile slowly faded to a sad meek smile as she thought about cutting the person. There was no joy in inflicting harm to someone to test one's gear. Waru listened quietly to her explanation about the technique with the mention of a dinosaur causing her to raise a querying brow.

Her pale face remained, for the most part, an inscrutable mask, broken only by the perpetual half smile. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath, slowly exhaling as she straightened up with a cold blank expression, ”My brother had a friend…Well, actually a pet of sort that was like a dinosaur. He ate three people…Whole. But that is beside the point.” Her gaze remained firm as she told her tale. There was a hint of recollection in her tone of voice and her eyes as shifted her attention away for a moment recalling the event.

”I don’t doubt that ability has certain admirable quality in the field of combat. I just don’t feel comfortable placing myself in an unknown predicament where this ability may put me in harm’s way or worse my hair. Besides if I’m only limited to the color of my hair I might as well stick with my Frost Armour. At least I can mix and match a different variety of white and blues with my assemble. Which I could expand upon by adding a wide variety of dyes to the snow to broaden my horizon.” She finally released an exasperated sigh as she sadly titled her head the other way shifting the weight of the weapon her back.

”Besides Bon Bon is too aggressive for me to ever simply take it easy in a display of exhibition.” The oversized weapon strapped on the girls back began to spark in protest against his owners wishes to decline striking Set.

[Titan of Stone]

"Oh... Okay..." Set quietly relented as she glanced down refitting the fabric into a bikini, oddly feeling it was less provocative than the negligee. Her expression seemed to have fallen as she rubbed her arm glancing to the sword as it sparked, a few red sparks dancing off of her skin in response.

"Sorry if I was pushy, its not often I meet anyone with an interest in what I can do... Gah and you're so pretty." Set sighed openly with a grumble at the end before raising her hands behind her head, much more laid back in the current atmosphere compared to earlier with the snake.

[Waru]

Waru shifted in place trying to find a comfortable position to stand in while fending off the sinking suspicion of offending the woman before her. Silently she listened to the other words with a soft sigh escaping her lips. Her head slowly rolling over to her side as she glanced back at Banryu for a moment. ”I’m really envious of your ability. It’s just I’ve had a bad experience with being…well “pushed” into learning new things. “ She took a second to catch her breath reflexing on her own past endeavors, before returning back to the situation with a low audible hum.

”Are you kidding me? Compared to you I might look mediocre to some guys. Still, it’s nice to hear that once in a while. Normally people just say that to me to butter me up in attempts to get something from me.” A warm smile appeared on her face as she reflected upon Set comment. She took personal pride in her appearance not for the sake of attraction, but for her own personal satisfaction. It was her means of staying close to her family that was so far away.

[Titan of Stone]

"I didn't mean to make you feel pushed, just wanted to bond." Set admitted openly not feeling the need to hide behind pretty words or excuses when she thought she showed a fairly obvious interest in the young woman. However as she spoke up again saying she looked mediocre compared to the crimson cat which made Set look back with a confused look. Between her black sclera and her horns poking out from her hair.

"I don't care what other people would say, you're beautiful to me." set replied simply dismissing how anyone would compare them. She smiled a bit seeing Waru's before turning around to face her curiously. Set would then take a few steps to her and run her fingers through Waru's white hair. "Well I'm more interested in what you want."

[Waru]

”Hehe, Thanks.” Waru murmured, a bit embarrassed now by Set resolve to compliment her. She paused for a moment, considering her compliment and finally accepted the idea. The idea of being called beautiful brought a wholesome thought to her mind. Perhaps, she did, in fact, resemble her mother then she originally thought. The mere idea of looking more like her mother then father brought an entirely new smile to Waru face.

”What I want…” Waru trailed off hesitantly, as if to add something but uncertain to effects on her listener. Her face turned cold, deprived of emotion as she took a moment to think about the answer. There were countless solutions to this question, each giving the young woman a satisfying delight in life. However, many of them were nothing but fantasy and her own delusion that could never happen. Eventually, she adjusted her weight gazing up at her listener and smiled.

”What I want is to become an actress. I want to be on stage performing countless plays for the world to see. Become one of those famous stars you see in movies. I want my name to be known to the world so…” She hesitated as her attention shifted towards the distance, before finally returning, ”So I can finally be noticed.” A somber smile appeared on her face as she glanced up toward her listener.
