[a quick glance, her eyes landing on the patch of ink instinctively before she properly looks at him in the face. there's a bit of ink on the back of her neck as well, which she is totally unaware of.]

I guess they didn't plan with you or that other really tall woman in mind.

[naginota]

[ from what she can see, it's a number! a very, very large one. ]

I suppose we can't expect everything to accommodate our size. [ even if he has hope! ] Well, shelter is shelter. I won't complain.

[halved]

Well, it's true that sleeping outside would be worse... [imagine if whoever curfews outside gets cursed.] We can figure out how to extend your mattress if we need to.

[naginota]

[ oh? he beams down at her. ]

You're very kind, Asa-dono. Thank you.

[halved]

[she looks surprised for a second.]

It's nothing.

[naginota]

I wouldn't say nothing.

[ but if she wants to let it drop, that's alright. ]

Shall we take a look, then? Ah, but there's something on your neck...

[ he won't touch, but she might want to check if it's another leech or something! ]

[halved]

Huh?

[she immediately starts rubbing at her neck, trying to wipe off whatever it is that he's talking about. it doesn't come off, unfortunately, and as she cranes her head around he can see a few words written in black ink: has a crush on a devil.

she inspects her hand, frowning when it comes off clean.]

Did I get it?

[naginota]

[ there's a flash of surprise before his expression settles into a frown. ]

Hm. It seems to be one of these tattoos we all have... [ he bows his head to her immediately. ] I'm sorry. I didn't realize.

[halved]

[ah.

she immediately slaps a hand over her neck, mortified.]

Shit. Where the hell did these come from, anyway?!

[naginota]

It seems to be a side effect of the magic we've been summoned with, though I couldn't say for sure. It is... inconvenient.

[ a pause, but he has to ask: ]

Asa-dono. What is a "crush?" Is it dangerous?

[halved]

[...............]

Why... do you ask...?

[naginota]

The tattoo on your neck. It reads "has a crush on a devil."

Are you fighting an evil spirit of some kind?

[halved]

I just... remembered, I have som... something... I had to do...

[naginota]

[ ??? ]

Well, I wouldn't want to keep you. But are you sure you're all right? If you're not feeling well, we can find Daan-dono or Alfyn-dono to help you.

[halved]

[IMMEDIATELY:]

No!

[DON'T FIND ANYBODY ELSE she will die on the spot, actually.]

I-I just have something important I need to do! Bye!

[and we are free from this thread unless he would follow her because she is running the fuck away. goodbye forever, sir. (they live in the same house)]
