cities were something she will never truly get used to, though she's lived in and out of them for years at one point in her life. the seclusion of raven tail was something she enjoyed about the location of the guild. it had a lot more benefits than cons for zilla. though there were pros to cities, the amount of people in them was certainty not one.

her and flare were having a 'shopping trip' today, just the two of them. zilla stressed about it a lot the night before and early this morning. mainly about her mask situation. she didn't know which one to wear and so she wore none. and now her naked face was out and about. the makeup helped her feel better, even if it wasn't much with her lack of skill (and ivan never learned how to do makeup either, so he was useless for help).

flare was very nice about it, which was always great to hear from flare. she was fashionable and very pretty — she knew things. flare even complimented her and zilla hoped the blush wasn't too obvious before they left.

the familiar warmth of flare wrapped around her and zilla looked to the side to see flare smiling at her. it was a blinding smile, filled with the light of a thousand suns and made zilla's heart quicken. it said: 'i want to be closer' & 'i'm happy to be here' & 'i feel safe with you'. messages that made zilla's heart dance in the shadows of her chest.

zilla swallowed the sudden dryness in her mouth and offered, what she hoped, was a warm smile and not a grimace. zilla was not good at being warm, no, she was much better at basking in it selfishly. she tightened her arm closer, bringing flare closer.

cities weren't so bad.
