“That's not what I meant.”

A sigh. He stepped behind Jiaoqiu, careful to allow the fabric of his glove to make noise against the counter, that way he wouldn't jumpscare him.

His forehead pressed lightly into the other's back.

“Don't be dramatic.”

It took him significantly longer than before, to cut it, yet he tried his best to be careful with this. It wouldn't benefit anyone if he got cut.

“ My, I didn't know that I'm a multiple of lower in rank now.

..well, perhaps I am.. ”
‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Nov 8

“Perhaps I am.”

He watches him. Clean and confident movements even with no sight. A proof of skill, yet his heart throbs painfully for him.

“ Hmm.. ”

He takes time to feel the texture of the board. Not something he paid attention to when he could have had—.

So, the picture formed in his head. It must be manageable.

“ Are you commanding me now? ~ ”

Slowly, he'd bring the knife to the carrot.

Chop, chop, chop, chop...
‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Oct 31

“Your hand.”

He places it over the cutting board. Carrots on the left, knife turned with the sharp edge away from the board.

“Here. Make them into small pieces.”

He'd get up from the chair and go to the sounds of Moze's voice.

“ I'll gladly help~~. ”

Jiaoqiu seems quite cheered up.

[ Right. Despite everything.

She leans back, brows furrowed. ]

I'm temporarily suspended from my duties, so I'll be free tonight. Would you like to come for a cup of tea? Hmm.. though, I do think Jiaoqiu would need......

Nevermind.

Chibi Jiaoqiu covers one of his eyes with a fan, another eye is threatenigly opened.

He looks at him, then at the knife, then at him again.

“Are you sure?”

Jiaoqiu is sitting at the kitchen table, this time choosing a place near the window to catch the warm sunlight from the window with his face. It feels really pleasant and comforting..

“ Moze, I can cut vegetables even with my eyes closed, why can't I help now? ”

[ Even if /he/ and Feixiao trust her, she still has been locked during the incident. There are people above them who don't trust her. It irritated her greatly.

Watari pulls Moze closer and lower, so that she can whisper into his ear. ]

What a brave boy.

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Oct 27

( He squeezes her hand back, his metal claws clanking. )

[ She eyes this hand for a couple of moments and eventually emits a deflating sigh. As much as she wants distance herself from the whole the world now, her faith in Moze and Feixiao is stronger than this wish.

She squeezes his hand in her. ]

Nobody trusts me even after so much time. —

My body is in excellent condition. Not a scratch.

[ Even painted nails are as if newly treated. She casts a nonechalant glance at them, then raises her eyes to stare into Moze's eyes without raising her chin. ]

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Oct 26

Are you fine?

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Oct 26

He would much rather simply sit with him instead, how is he meant to protect Jiaoqiu if he is asleep?

Yet his head slowly tilts, his slow and peaceful breathing indicating Moze is already asleep.

Must have been really tired.

“ Then, you have an hour for a sleep, ” Jiaoqiu brushes silver hair with his hand gently again, exhaling softly. “ I'll wake you up~. ”

He'd continue his soothing movement, laying the phone aside.
‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

THE SHADOW. @mozedearest.bsky.social · Oct 26

“In an hour.”

Feeling the movements, he blushes once again, reminded of their proximity. It's slightly embarrassing. It is also sending tingles down his back.
