             inky lashes flutter when she had cried out at him –    “   my apologies ,   ”   he begins , lips slowing into a smile after he blinks once more.    “    i was passing by and i heard beautiful singing , and about a samurai boy nonetheless.    ”    a chortle is bitten back as he realizes how amusing this whole situation was.  a coincidence ; drawn by the voice a literal samurai though an unconventional one who cradled a rifle at his hip alongside an uchigatana.  he sighs , canting his head with an apologetic gaze taking note she was in the middle of washing her hair.    “    t’sk , this must look awkward ehn?   ”

  ❛❛ Indeed.  You’ve  embarrassed  me..  and  at  my  most  vulnerable  too!  But..  I  forgive  you! ❜❜  She  wrung  her  long  hair  off  of  water  like  a  wet  dishrag  and  tossed  it  behind  herself.  A  few  drops  of  water  runs  down  alongside�� her  temples  and  forehead;  wiping  her  eyes  with  the  inside  of  her  gown.  The  patches  of  water  that  now  clings  to  her  already  see-through  gown,  reveals  more  of  her  skin  than  she  might  want!

  ❛❛ And  I’m  sorry  as  well  that  you  had  to  hear  my  ugly  scream  just  now. ❜❜  She  got  back  up  on  her  feet,  regarding  the  rifle  and  sword  he  carried  on  his  person  with  a  high  curiosity  and  apprehension  alike.

  ❛❛ –heh,  you’re  no  ordinary  hunter,  are  you ? ❜❜  Eyes  as  wide  as  saucers,  a  nervous  smile  plastered  itself  on  her  face  to  convey  a  kind  of  confidence  she  did  not  possess  at  all.  Certainly  not  in  the  presence  of  someone  with  a  gun   (  and  sword  )   in  their  hands!  Aside  from  their  somewhat  scary-looking  appearance,  they  seemed  altogether  friendly;  not  unlike  a  gentle  giant!  Although,  the  rifle  will  forever  be  a  reminder  to  stay  on  good  foot  with  them!

Peaking behind scattered papers Gino glanced at the woman with inquiry. 

“What are you eating?“

He asked full of curiosity, sadly he was not very knowledgeable about flowers. So, he stood up letting the stationary on the ground and headed next to her. Kneeling so that he could pick up a flower himself, he brought the petals between his lips and unplugged a few before gulping them down.

   ❛❛ Those  were...  oleander . ❜❜    the  corners  of  her  lips  were  sore  and  her  mouth  and  tongue  were  also  numb  from  eating  them  now .  fingers  had  small  blisters  on  them  after  holding  it  in  her  hand  and  plucking  away  its  petals .  her  eyes  widen  –  akin  to  the  size  of  saucers  at  the  way  he  mimicked  her  by  eating  the  flower ,  a  lonesome  tear  coursed  down  her  cheek  unchecked .

   ❛❛ You..  you  shouldn’t  have  eaten  that … ❜❜    Her  voice  broke ,  and  all  she  could  do  was  stare  at  him  in  horror .  A  shaking  hand  cups  his  cheek  before  she  swoons  into  his  embrace .  This  was  not  what  she  wanted ,  she  did  not  want  to  take  him  with  her ,  she  loved  him  too  much ,  she  didn’t  want  him  to  die !

  @offtrails                ( KELLDERWYNN…    𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽…. 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽… 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗨𝗣 !! ) Gasping, as desprately as a baby’s first breath on earth, he did as the voice commanded him to. In great urgence  he rached out toward a cold empty nothingness as if he just escaped the unforgving jaws of death itself.             Loud coughs filled the sweet silence that was the night as he forced the salted water of the ocean out of his lungs.Instinctively, he reached out to the inner pockets of his torn leather coat– – one, two three– – he lost about two-third of his storage of power. The drives of blue. Universal busses certain humans of this day and age could draw power from in order to perform feats unheard of. But how did he, the man known as THE GENOCIDER OF STEEL ended up on such a remote island? His memory was hazy. His primal instincts however… As sharp as surgeons knife. Albeit lien to this land he allowed his instincts to guide him. The instincts that allowed him to survive to this very day. He got up (  𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚… ) The same voice told him. Without a second to waste he left the beach and entered the vast forest. Like a wild animal he clawed at the numerous vines in his way until he reached a clearing… And to his utmost suprise; he was not alone. Hues of gold locked themselves on, what he assumed to be a woman, as he approached her in circling fashion. ‘’Hey– –  Hey you…!’’ Escaped his mouth cautiously ‘’Where the hell am I ?’’

   She  sat  crouched  over  a  small  brook,  scrubbing  away  the  blood  on  her  hands  with  a  burning  focus,  before  wiping  them  dry  on  her  white  gown;  staining  it  as  she  does,  but  what  is  another  stain  or  two?  she  was  already  looking  a  mess  ensued  from  all  the  years  she’s  spent  there,  having  to  adapt  to  a  primitive  lifestyle  and  without  access  to  soap  and  new  clothes.  A  set  of  eyes,  one  unlike  the  other  in  color,  and  wide  like  saucers  glares  out  from  behind  messy  wisps  of  hair  hanging  over  her  face  and  at  the  stranger  before  her.  For  though  she’s  seemingly  human  at  first  glance,  there  is  something..  altogether  wild  about  her  –  there  is  certainly  more  to  her  than  meets  the  eye!

   Had  she  lost  her  tongue  as  well  with  what  little  humanity  she  had  left  in  her?  Or  so  it  seemed..  She  blinks  a  couple  of  times  before  answering  in  a  low  voice.    ❛❛ My  best  guess…  somewhere  akin  to  hell . ❜❜    The  truth  was,  she  knew  as  much  as  he  does  about  where  they  were.  It’s  not  like  she  ever  tried  to  learn  about  her  whereabouts  after  all  these  years..  not  that  she  really  cared  either.  All  that  matters  was  that  she  survived..  at  any  cost !    ❛❛ --What  of  it ? ❜❜

lunafaeris​:

          How much time had passed between her sleeping and waking… she couldn’t say. The last thing she could clearly remember was that she had been fighting for her life, racing at breakneck speed across the surface of the water and carving through the waves like a prolific ice skater while dodging blows left and right from the limbs of a massive sea creature. A leviathan. Did she finish it off? Had she delivered the final blow? The rest of it was a blur, only picking up bits and pieces here and there as the blasted sunlight trickling down from the canopy stung her eyes upon waking, groaning as she raised a hand to cover her face.

          It only took a moment for her to regain her senses, enough to the point that when she saw what appeared to be a halo of light rising above the girl’s head, she instinctively went on the defensive and drew her pistol from the shadows into her hand, pressing the barrel right in between her eyes with her finger deftly hovering over the trigger.

          “ Don’t move… just who the hell are you? And where am I? ”

  arms  were  upraised  in  level  with  her  head  when  being  held  at  gunpoint ;  squeezing  her  eyes  so  hard  that  tears  began  to  develop  at  the  corners .    ❛❛ gah !  please ,  don’t  shoot  me ! ❜❜    orphne  pleaded  a  tiny  whimper ,  shielding  herself  behind  her  hands .

  ❛❛ i- i’m  orphne ,  lone  islander  here !  you  were  unconscious  when  i  whisked  you  up  the  shore ,  ❜❜    she  stuttered .  the  false  halo - like  light  surrounding  her  head  disappears  when  a  passing  cloud  consumes  the  sun’s  rays  behind  it ,  revealing  it  was  only  an  illusion  all  along !    ❛❛ – it  seems  we’re  both  stranded  here . ❜❜    for  though  orphne  had  spent  the  majority  of  her  life  there ,  she  knew  as  much  about  where  they  were  as  the  next  person  does .

[offtrails]

❛❛ What .  If .  It’s .  Not .  Meeeeant  for  meee ,  Looooove

--What .  If .  It’s .  Not .  Meeeeant  for  meee ,

  L-  ah-  ha-  ahhhh- ha-  ahh-  ove ❜❜

She  sang  aloud  to  herself ,  inwardly  counting  on  the  petals  she  picks  off  of  the  flower  in  her  hand ,  before  putting  them  in  her  mouth  and  chewing  them  down  to  particles  and  swallowing  them ,  all  the  while  she  sings .  Perhaps  ‘twas  intentionally ,  as  those  were  poisonous  flowers  she  ate  of ! 

[offtrails]

Omg I found one better, ‘ Oaf ’ like loaf but without the ‘L’

As we know, Orphne dislikes a lot about herself, even her own name.. she’d much rather be called ‘ Effie / Ef ’ or something akin to her name in lieu.

Finger twirls around one of her locks  “What’s the cause of your frown my beautiful muse?“

   muse ?  was  that  all  she  was  to  him ?  another  passing  source  of  inspiration ,  tch .  the  vein  in  her  forehead  became  more  pronounced  with  how  hard  she  was  frowning  right  now .  a  faint  blush  settles  into  her  cheeks  at  the  way  he  entwines  a  tress  of  her  hair  around  his  fingers ,  much  like  how  he  has  her  wrapped  around  them  nowadays ! 

   ❛❛ oh ,  nothing … ❜❜    she  lied  and  feigned  a  smile .  taking  his  hand  in  hers  and  leaning  her  cheek  against  its  palm ,  nuzzling  into  it .  she  didn’t  want  him  to  worry  about  her ,  so  she  convinced  him  along  with  herself  that  it  was  merely  another  bad  episode  that  would  soon  blow  over ,  and  perhaps  she  thought  he  could  contribute  with  something  good  in  all  this  when  in  actuality ,  he  was  partially  the  reason  behind  said  frown .

☆ ❛❛ Ahh, sorry, did I scare you? I mean, you kinda spooked me. ❜❜ Sure, finding that cave was a score, but he didn’t expect anyone else to discover it.
