bladed-heart:

          ^{{{♡♡♡—;; Still scrambling for lost air Anri drew deep breathes which only became rapid and frantic as her mental stability began to disintegrate. As she became slowly aware of the situation something strange occurred within her. The usual defense mechanisms which drew her away from the harsh reality, where she ran behind a glass frame and simply witnessed the despicable life she lived. The raven would sit on a perch then scavenge for the necessities not caring about whatever consequences and rebuttals she may face later.}

         ^{♡No, it was not weak or cowardly. It was nothing but a way of survival and it was her way. So what? If she was called horrid names and wretched person. It’s not like the girl was humans any longer. Stripping herself from the humanity and restraints drawn out by them she was free but within that freedom was just more pain, possibly harsher than  if she lived by the social standards around her.}

         ^{♡A quiet pitiful whimper mewled from the damsel’s quivering lips as crystal tears slowly rolled down her rosy cheeks. Spotting the figure on the horizon, her silhouette slowly coming closer Anri’s heart began beating at an abnormally high rate to the point where cardiac arrest was a possible outcome. With Saika nowhere to be heard and no bladed weapons within the vicinity the survival rate for the young heroine was plummeting if the stranger was hostile in nature.}

         ^{♡Of course the parasite meant no harm, not now, completely mortified about the entire ordeal and wishes she were back in her home living the sad life. At least then there was Saika, the detached murmurs that kept her awake at night and clawed bloody around her mind. It was torture but a torture she could no longer live without. Anri’s eye flickered.}

<sup>█{{✰}}██ As surprising as it is, she showed no signs of being hostile when the shooter had paused at a distance. Not too far yet not too close, she wouldn’t dare to attack since she is not the type to needlessly shed blood unless driven to it. Perhaps that’s why she went as far as to extend out her hand, for her to take hold and help upon her feet if she so desired. She won’t attack a human for showing fear, fear is often what caused the soul to turn stagnant and she had realized it won’t do to take her life for being afraid of her or this world. Fear is something that can do many unpleasant things to them, if the warriors had felt it that is. She isn’t an exception to it, but she had driven herself far to overcome it so not to allow herself to fall victim to what would end her life so easily.

The damsel would be safe around her is what had been decided in her own mind, she’d protect her until they would figure out how to return her to her world. This place isn’t suppose to be open to humanity nor should it ever be seen by those other than the ones attached to the warriors of which thrived here. Survival is everything in this place that had no other life forms; something she felt would need to be taught if she can’t bring this girl back to where she belongs. That’s all she can do in any case, show her how to survive in this place anyways.

Her azure hues were gentle however much they were cold, flame flickering in one yet unlit as much as this may be a surprise. She’s not there to fight yet would not blame her if she tried starting one, human or not, she saw why she would be considered a frightening thing. If anything the child realized she’s frightening, harboring a monster in her that was given life from snapping in her own case, the fact she’s a stranger in a strange place, and even that she had no idea where she is all were possible factors behind it no matter her choice.

This is all she can do, prepare for the worse and keep her alive instead of watch as she fell to someone there deciding to use her as a target. Perhaps… she should try practicing speech? No, it might not help with the current circumstances were not necessarily a good time for it. “…” At least, that’s what she was thinking at this point.</sup>
