sorry for my own shitty wait! D: derp derp derp
Ichika was a nice place. It felt good, for once, to be accepted as herself, without the cultural pressures that she'd felt in Inferni. Still, though, it was a change, and this break from her recent hard work was well welcome. Sage nodded at Barry, lips curling up in agreement. "It is," she cooed, her gaze lingering on him for a moment, dreamy and seductive while she decoded his face. Thin brows narrowed for a moment, a question on her own face. What can he not say in front of Ezra? Maybe it wasn't that; maybe he had something to say about Ichika, or about Inferni. When his head turned, hers did as well. These weren't thoughts she wanted to have now, anyways.
A dull humming lingered at the back of her hearing, beyond the sound of the crackling flames, and she became aware of her clouded senses. Her movements felt thick and slow, and they were. Sage glanced up at Ezra while he spoke, before she let her eyes face Barry again. The Ma-tzu laughed, nodding, "Yeah, Barry, let's celebrate," she purred, tone dropping at the last word, amber gaze half-lidded. She grinned then, and burst into laughter again, sitting up to lean forward again now. It felt like it took an eternity, her body felt so heavy. "A drink would be nice; something to warm us up, hmm?" Only as after she'd said it did she realize that she wasn't really cold, after all. Grinning happily, she swayed between the two, brush of a tail sweeping the ground behind her with slow strokes.
