( kirma… is just as much of a dog as the ears on his head would indicate, at least in personality. physically, the truth is a little further from this, but— he won’t be finding that detail out for a long while, if ever.
so, let’s stick with the dog thing. no duplicity, only acceptance. tolerance, as well. he sees the way aventurine weaves his words like a net, that there’s more than one meaning in everything he says; kirma just doesn’t pursue those threads, or do anything past taking what’s told to him at face value. it is a willful sort of stupidity, a survival mechanism in its own right— since that’s all they’re doing here, in the end. surviving, and not really living at all.
the kiss, though, is not unwelcome. even if this is somehow just business (can he not have a bit of hope it’s not?), he has no complaints. )
You know— ( he’s thinking out loud, in a space that opens up between their lips. not the time for it, really, but the train of thought has already stated. ) I’ve never met a fox before. Ha Yun’s followers were driven out so long ago…
( great bedroom talk, huh. he leaves aventurine’s tail alone now to hook his arm around his neck instead, trying to chase another kiss. )
