The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

[kiicho]

kicho, who has had people killed on her orders bc she thought they were sus: it’s not good to have people directly or indirectly killed due to your words

toku: that’s rich coming from you

[kiicho]

She misses her daughters a bit too.

" Holiday bonding activity with the Master where I teach them how to get other people to kill the people you need out of the way. "

" -- !! " All of a sudden???

" I love you as well. "

"And that's what's important! You've always been my partner, one way or another!"

Well - almost. Best not to bring that up now, though. She was sure Kicho would understand what she meant.

"It's just better now that I get the added bonus of being able to say stupid things like 'I love you'..."

A pause, then an inevitable grin.

"Speaking of which - I love you! "

[kiicho]

in the little world i construct in my mind all of the oda retainers were looking at nobu and kicho like ' my god !! these bitches are gay !!! good for them : ) '

[kiicho]

" I suppose those are good reasons, but still -- " She has her own reasons. Like being emotionally constipated during all of that. " Though, in a sense, we were certainly together. "

"D-do we really have to go through this again...? That I didn't want to take advantage of my position when you were still a hostage, that I didn't want to force you to stay when we were adults and all that was behind us...I did...uh...have reasons....you know..."

She's just not mentioning the obvious one. The whole lack of guts thing.

[kiicho]

" Well, why did you not confess ? "

@nobuverse

[kiicho]

" ... Do you really need me to say it out loud when you already know the answer ? "

"But You were better off with me, weren't you?"

[kiicho]

" --!! "

kicho, trying to chill in a singularity away from nobu for like a day: i feel a disturbance … i think some kind of shenanigans is going on without my supervision

[kiicho]

" ... "

She quirks an eyebrow at Okita, but her mind seems to understand what's happening right now. Kichō isn't the kind to be quick to anger, but it'd be a lie if she said the response didn't irritate her. At least a little.

" I do not know what place you feel you occupy, but you can express your opinions to me. Nothing you say to me will come close to being the most insulting thing I've heard -- believe me. "

@kiicho

" ... I believe we must evaluate what you mean by 'normal'."

".I..." she begins her sentence, only to realize she doesn't know what to say. Okita's eyes narrow slightly, head subconsciously tilting to the side as she tries to read the other's expression. She can't tell what it is - shock? Annoyance? She's not good at picking up these subtleties. Hence why she preferred to let other people do the talking for her.

Well you don't stand out as much as she does-

You're a lot quieter -

I feel like you've got common sense -

A number of thoughts run through her mind, but she's not satisfied with any of them.

"I'm deeply sorry if I've insulted you. It was out of my place to say anything."

[kiicho]

" The amount of men that condemned me for using my beauty for 'evil' was astounding. Though it was never my preference, if I was so beguiling and charming to others, why would I not use it if the fools kept falling for it ? "

[kiicho]

you know what ? i will destroy canon and make kicho an ei puppet in her genpact universe. she looks way too much like ei for me to not nibble on some indulgence okay

" The powers that be must grant me patience and not strength. For if they grant me strength, I might commit another unforgivable crime. "
