(Sorry this is so late :P)
Send me a “❤” and I’ll generate a number (angst version):
9. My muse must abandon yours, to protect them. This is how my muse says goodbye.
Tsukasa pat the girl, who was barely a woman, on the head.The time had come. Too long, she had stayed here. Staying here any longer would only bring more of Lumen’s attention to her and those around her.
She was dangerous and no one, especially the kid, deserved to be in constant danger.
“I’ve got something for you,” She said quietly before shrugging her leather jacket off. She draped it around the youngster’s shoulders. “Keep it, okay?” She smiled grimly. “It’s yours now.”
((Yes! I’m going to say she’s ten or so, does that work?))
Kaede stared up at her teacher, her good eye filling with tears.The jacket was too big for her by a long shot, but slipped her arms in anyway and hugged it to her tightly. This was it? Three years was all she got with her big sister? Her sensei?
She squinted her tears out violently and wiped her eye with her blue black knuckles. Embarrassing.
“Thank you, sensei.” She bowed out of habit then straightened, stuck out her chest and… her lip quivered-no no don’t- she spread her feet apart and clutched her hands into tight fists. It was all she could do to keep from bursting into the soggy mess Tsukasa had found her in three years prior. Even so, she was failing. Her lower lip started to bleed from how hard she clamped on to it.
“I…” deep breaths hold it together “I wish you didn’t have to go, Tomiko-Sensei.”
