—— { ♢♢♢♦♦ } A calm gaze was cast over the city below. Up here, Homura could survey everything. It was on quiet nights like this where she came here to think–though unfortunately, she was not always alone.
On her shoulder, peering down from the height of the large building, an odd white creature merrily flicked its tail back and forth, musing close to the puella’s ear.
“There are no disturbances tonight, Homura Akemi. This city seems safe…Isn’t that strange? I was wondering…Why not use this rare abundance of free time to do something appropriate for your age?”
The alien being craned its head, patiently waiting for any kind of response. Homura Akemi was an unusual girl–even for a magical one. Unpredictable; formidable. However, unfeeling and, therefore, unafraid of facing repercussions, it held no qualms about getting under the skin of its mysterious companion once in a while.
Silence reigned a while longer with no reaction–and then, a softly articulated Hmph.
“As if I have time for things like that.”
You, of all things, should know better.
But, you…
Pink beady eyes lingered on the stern face of its charge, reflecting the glare of the city lights below. As Homura vaulted onto the edge of the building and began walking along the parameter, Kyubey’s lips curled into the semblance of a smile.
Of course; that’s just like you. A most satisfying response. Homura Akemi…
Your constant fighting is not only for this world, but also for ‘that person’, right? ღ
