rainbows are visions, but only illusions

WHO: Kanaya Maryam and YOU!!
WHERE: Around The City
WHEN: March 13th, afternoon
WARNINGS: Creeping, stalking, awkwardness, potentially a little blood?
SUMMARY: Kanaya's been thirsty lately, and it's led to her stalking shadows a little more often, creeping around, thinking about how people might taste. Bright feelings and bad ideas.
FORMAT: Whatever you like! If you have any special instructions, drop a note here!

[ terezi had crashed shortly after they returned from school. she still wasn't used to the daylight hours, and despite every assurance kanaya could possibly give, still wasn't comfortable under the sun. she only stayed up to keep an eye on kanaya, but it was clear that it was wearing on her. kanaya had tucked her in with her scalemates before sneaking out herself.

she finds herself stepping along the edges of the rooftops, leaping across the walls, dancing across the city as though it was her own personal studio. it helps to clear her head, but also recalls the last time she did this, reminds her of her need. it isn't as easy this time, though, she knows better.

but a resolution not to take doesn't erase the strength of her want. she slides down a fire escape, kicks against the wall, and softly lands in the alley below. she's not sure how she'll manage the thirst for now, but the romance of the hunt is certainly tempting as she sees the passersby on the sidewalk. she can't stay here long, she'll have to keep moving if she wants her thoughts to keep from settling on the subject too strongly.

The added wave of guilt seemed unnecessary in Blue's mind; he expected her to say something like that in the end. Rather than suggest it himself, it seemed...better that way? Somehow. He was reluctant to speak so forwardly on it; it wasn't in his realm of understanding. Not utterly, not as...new as it was.

Reluctant still at the image it invoked. Yet he was hardly the sort to balk at something hurtful to himself when it benefited the people who mattered to him. Compared to what he'd done – what he would do in his distant future – it was hardly a trouble.

Humans here...share their blood in a crisis, too, don't they? Given the disasters he'd witnessed here, that much was true.

"Then I'll help as you say," he said, rather convinced of it, and nodding a little.

"As humans do," he replied, all things in stride. He was not worried for himself, but, now resolved, sought to put Kanaya at ease best he could. There was little else on the matter he could do. "You need only tell me where to go, and I'll be there when you need."

"I understand," Blue said, though it was only true enough for what she'd just mentioned. An audience would've made it...rather difficult to come to terms with, even if it was to help a friend. No. He'd have to give her command of the situation, not just the choices.

Blue simply nodded, giving no notion he'd felt any of that inward debate.

"It's not far from here," he said, sending a glance down the road before looking back. "Unless you have something pressing to see to, we can make our way there."
