loneliness has followed me my whole life. there's no escape. i'm god's lonely woman.
โ Officer 148: Zhu Yuan, ready. โ
โ Officer 148: Zhu Yuan, ready. โ
"Ahem - uh, right." That makes more sense. Hands shakily extend outward, wrapping about forearm in the most awkward way possible. It's to the point where she's uncomfortably twisting. "There."
"Come oooon I'm trying to be a gentleman here allowing the lady to take hold my arm as we walk." He folded his ears back some with a bit of a blush to his face.
"Ah." She answers, a mixture of disappointed and relieved creeping through the tone of her voice. Lifting digits, she idly twiddles them over tabletop. "I... feel the same way. It's nice. To... care about someone that isn't family, or a coworker."
Some people mistaken Wise as a person not capable of expressing himself correctly but when it comes to feelings of connection. He found it quite easy to talk about. โ Sorry sorry, I mean you are someone I find myself admiring and being happy around. โ Wise was quite happy.ยป
I'm aware. It's just... they have bigger fish to fry than me just feeling a little alone.
A captain has their crew so they DON'T have to shoulder everything. You know that right?
R-really? You consider seeing the movies with me an /occasion/? Ahah. Uh- Did... you have any film in mind?
Does she really think so? That's good to hear.. she wanted to pp9k jer best for their date ! "Zhu Yuan ! You say is there any occasion? Well, Spending time with you certainly is."
"You thrive off the attention, huh?" She squints - taking a step forward to ease the gap formed just a moment ago. Eyes remained glued to the other's visage. "Can't I return the favor?"
"I don't mind the attention, in fact.. I live off it. Also.. cop or not, I would always be staring at you." His eyes soften as hus body tensed up. Cobra was a wanted criminal and if she figures that out, he's going to make a break for it.
She needlessly flails arms about as tail wraps around silken dress - going stiff. "Wolfe... your fur." Zhu uncomfortably smiles, meeting the other's gaze. "Haha..."
"Hmhm here how about this instead?" She could feel his tail curl around her now like an arm around her waist. "I can tell you seem kinda nervous Zhu Yuan. Dont worry, I promise it will be a fun time ok? You look amazing."
"You've stepped down from your position at PubSec. I'd hate to reopen a can of worms getting you involved. Plus... whoever attempted to sabotage /will/ remember your face." A palm shows as she explains herself. She then raises an eyebrow.
"Our....problem. no way in hell im letting you do this on your own." Saying with a soft huff. He seemed very serious about that. "I am trusting you with this Zhu Yuan. I was hesitant even showing you that in the first place. I was the one who gathered the intel. So let me help.
Right. It's only natural for one to get fixated on what could go terribly wrong on vacation - in turn, ruining their experience. You're an interesting case. What's your name?
ใ ค ใ ค "Oh right! Forgive my voracious curiosity. I mean, since I'm not from around here, it's natural to be a little more intrigued by what's going on here. Don't you agree... officer?" ใ ค ใ ค
"... suppose a lot of us can say that. It's what motivated me to start out in this field." A coy rub at the nape of her neck, corner of her lip tugging into a smile. "Donuts?"
ใ ค ใ ค" something like that, yes.ใ คeven though me being completely busy started right after the hollow zero. "ใ คshe smiled. ใ คshe was mostly busy with section six or... government stuff. ใ ค" what a coincidence, would you like to spend time with me?ใ คi have some time myself. " ใ ค
we moved on from these too quickly. iโm still here.
Not at all! It's... a very pretty fit, to say the least. An awkward clear of throat as she adjusts bangs, temporarily looking the other way to do so. "Hey." She coolly greets, giving a curt smile. "Is... there an occasion?"
It's.. not like she's a whole different person, though perhaps if she wanted to tease her; she'd say something like that. She decided to weather something different, too. Hopefully she doesn't think it's too much...๐ฆ
I didn't want to risk attracting an actual cat.
โMeow!โฆ. Why didnโt you meow back?โ :(
"It... sounds like a bad reminder. I'd start my day off on a terrible note seeing that." She mutters, folding it up between digits and tucking it into an inner pocket within PubSec jacket. A brief smile. "Out of sight; out of mind. It's my problem now."
"You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Not always a one way street so if you need my help, then let me know alright Zhu Yuan. If you wanna take that envelope then you can but I tend to keep it around here to remind myself that every reconnaissance could mean life or death."
It's a highly unstable element that mutates anything it comes into contact with. As for why it turns living things into killing machines... I'm not sure. You're really curious about Ether... haven't you heard the saying?
ใ ค ใ ค "You've been as clear as day, officer. I'll take your advice to heart. Oh right, just one last thing. This ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง... it's a magical substance that's used for many purposes, right? Do you know why it creates freaks like the ones you see on TV?" ใ ค ใ ค
A furrow of eyebrows. The interrogator gets... interrogated. "I don't know what you're insinuating." She huffs, instinctively clenching hand into a fist as forearm is brushed against. "Why are you here, Wukong?"
"In an investigation. Right. The smell is long gone, though. Anything youโre smelling blood-wise is more psychosomatic than anything. Shock and trauma does a lot of strange things to the brain." Wukong pushes off the wall to walk over, standing next to her and gently touching herโฆ
Another groan, attempting to correct her ruined bangs. "I /was/ working hard. Until someone decided to prank me." A loud clear of throat, looking directly at Eleven. "Don't worry. I'll remember this."
"Sorry i could not help it silly... i hope i wont get arrest for this Zhu..." A soft laugh and smiles at her. "How have you been doing? Still working so hard as always?..."
