[09. confession through sealed lips. | closed]
[ With a slight frown on his brow, the boy ran a hand through his hair, turning his head slightly to the side before something bumped into him from the side, and he stumbled, turning his head wildly in the direction it had come from. He was greeted with a familiar head of blonde hair and red tinted cheeks. ]
O-Oii, Shiemi, you alright? You should know to watch yer step.
[ It wasn’t as though he were scolding her or anything. But he needed to act more natural around her, right? He couldn’t go looking so uncomfortable and embarrassed when speaking to her instead of being the old him. It was almost as if after all that burning and fire that he’d caused (even if it had positive effects) was something tha thad changed his demeanor completely. The whole “Satan’s Son” joke was going to get old, that was for sure…at least they were accepting him. ]
What’re ya doin’ out here anyways?
[ Extending a hand out to aid the girl, the demon gave a faint smile, fangs over hanging his lower lip. She looked so cheerful. She was probably just gardening or something—it was best if he left her alone. The last time he helped her garden all he did was dig holes because he was faster than she. ]
After rudely bumping into him, she came to an abrupt stop, ready to help said person, if needed! Heat had risen to her face after realizing what an embarrassing thing she did and her cheeks soon become rosy. Her smile was completely wiped off and replaced with a confused, but concerned expression.

“I-I’m really—”
The collision cause her to grasp the neck of the bottle a little more tightly though. It wouldn’t be good if she lost her only vase for flowers! Besides, glass was really dangerous when broken. Her sentence was cut off in the middle as soon as she saw the person who she had bumped into. Rin! She was just thinking about him, ironically. Still, the tamer’s smile was almost immediate.
“Ah, Rin! I’m sorry… I was spacing out for only a second!”
In order to regain her balance and composure, Shiemi gently took his hand with her own free one. Shiemi wasn’t going so fast that it took a while to readjust, but it still knocked her a bit off course. After a few moments, the tamer smiled up at him and indicated to the glass bottle that she held.
“I was going to go pick some new flowers for my room! Do you wanna come too?”
