...It's the least I can do. I'm not very big, nor would I consider myself a powerful demon. [ he is what he is: far older and stronger than your average housecat, but when put next to anyone else...

he's good at not dying from poisoning. that's all. ] I've lived a largely spoiled life, and when I lost that, I became something I loathed - a thief. A liar. It never made me happy, but I couldn't trust people for a long time. Even people I did trust, it felt like I'd lose it all in an instant...

[ he trails off quietly, tail flicking back and forth. that reality might very well come true, but that's why he's trying so hard. even afraid, he has to. ]

Doing my best is all I can do, and if that takes the form of being a fluffy comfort blanket, then so be it. [ ♪ ] I admit, I'm very happy to be cuddled as well... Do you know how often I get treated like this~? ...More often now, I admit, but still.

[ she listens, watching his tail flick back and forth, and when he finishes, she lets out a long, steady exhale. ]

You know - you don't have to be a big or super strong demon to make a difference. [ she tells him, closing her eyes. ] I'm not really much use either, like - of all the people they could've picked...

[ she pauses. ] But maybe that's why we got picked. Maybe it's because they don't need big and strong, they just need people who fucking care about this place. People who care about other people. I really fucking care. This is my home.

[ she noses at his fur. ] I've always wanted to make sure everybody has one. A place they feel like they belong to.

[ just as beau's listened to him, he listens to her, and at the end of it, he laughs. softly, warmly. ]

The gods chose kind people... Mmm, I think that works for all three of us. [ there are so many other kind people they could've chosen too -

but they were chosen. him, beau, ookurikara. ] Whether we'd like to admit to it or not. Prrr... Kindness to save the world, hm...?

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

It sounds nice when I put it like that.

It does sound nice. [ beau sighs, resting her back against the wall for now. she's not going anywhere for a bit. ]

I don't know if I've ever been called kind in my life, but - I care, so. Close enough. [ she swallows hard. ] Hey, if you need this? Like, hugging or whatever, a place to stay? You've got it with me. Just so you know.

[ beau can just live at the shrine too it's fi ]

You too. [ hugging or a place to stay. ] You're always welcome at Kumeow Shrine... I don't think anyone else will have a problem with it either, but if they do, I have my ways of purrsuasion ♪

[ it's being cute, ]

[ beau laughs again - it's a little wet, a little sad, but relieved, too. ]

I bet you fucking do. [ sniff. ] Nah, the Kumous are good people. Even Wei Wuxian, since Lan Wangji sees something in him.

[ she's joking! wei wuxian has always been very nice to her. ]

That's how I feel about Lan Wangnyan-san. Wei Wuxnyan-san sees something in him, so Lan Wangnyan-san must be a good person, too.

[ ... ]

And he is. We've spoken once. He came to see me... [ it was very nice. tsukasa's life is full of nice people. ] Beau-san, did he use his... prrr... Seer power's on you?

[ how else is he supposed to word this ]

[ hum. ]

Yeah, he did. I basically asked him to. I think I might've been the first person he used them on? He's been there for me since. [ she glances at tsukasa, sinking down against the wall. ] He checked you out, right? He wouldn't let me come see him for a few days after.

He did... And he was struck with excruciating pain. I felt it too, when I touched him - I was sick for hours after.

[ it was not a good, fun time. he tried sleeping it off, but as it is with fevers and pain... it was a fairly restless sleep. ]

That didn't happen with you, did it.

No, it didn't. [ she says, frowning. ] But - if it makes you feel better, I don't think it was because it was you. And neither does Lan Wangji.

I think if he'd looked at you first and then me second, it would've been exactly the same.

[ siiigh. ]

I felt so terrible about it, too... [ logically he knows it probably wasn't just Him, Specifically, but. ] I wish there was something I could've done to help him, though. Or that I hadn't let him use his powers on me... It could've been avoided.

Yeah. I feel like shit every time he comes and is wrecked from trying to figure us out.

[ she pulls tsukasa a little closer. ] If I knew how much it'd fuck him up to use his powers, I would've told him not to.

[ beau... ]

We'll simply ban him from using them anymore from now on.
