video / action for anyone in whitewood

[rosewhipmyhair]

[ as the video begins, there's a brief moment where everything is a blur, a sign that whoever has the device is on the move. eventually, the feed stops, and is stopped on a very pissed off fire demon. a little ways behind him is Kurama, who seems just as frustrated at their... situation. ]

Are you capable of reaching it, Hiei?

Hn, of course! I'll snap its wings off if I hav-- [ that sentence goes unfinished as a small fairy swoops down out of nowhere, smacking Hiei in the face. he gives a loud grunt, slightly startled for a moment, but soon enough he recovers, growling as he flares his energy up. ]

If another one of these annoying little shits hits me again, I swear I won't hesitate to burn them alive...-- [ as if on cue, a few more fairies appear, smacking and yanking at the smaller demon's head. he gives a shout, growling and swatting at them away. the fairies are persistent, though, and after a few failed attempts at getting them away, Kurama quickly enters the picture once more, struggling to help get the fairies off him as well... at least until Hiei's energy rises again. ]

Hiei, stop. You'll burn this entire village! [ unfortunately Hiei doesn't seem to be listening, as he readies to fling fire at the nearest fairy. Kurama pulls him back, effectively stopping him from continuing, though, soon enough, there's the sound of a mischievous giggle from off screen. the two of them glance back up to the video, frowning once again. soon enough, Hiei disappears from his spot, and there's a brief yelp before the feed rapidly shifts and eventually ends.

(anyone who's nearby to witness that entire episode will see Hiei coming close to slicing the fairy in half) ]

Comments

[petitvoleur]

[She shakes her head, trying to think of something so obscure, some minute detail of their lives together, before, and it's a long moment before she breaks the silence.]

What was the name of the inn? Where we stayed, that first day.

[yuukaihan]

[He nods approvingly.]

Back home, you mean? When we first met?

[And then he grins at her, a little, remembering. It certainly had been an interesting day.]

The High Flute.

[petitvoleur]

[She nods, remembering, and she thinks briefly that they're likely having the same memories.]

That will work as well as anything, no?

[yuukaihan]

A fine choice. And an unlikely phrase for anyone to simply happen upon.

[petitvoleur]

Well, then. It's decided.

[She tilts her chin downward, thoughtful, and then continues.]

You'll have to repeat it every time we see each other. Or speak, for that matter.

[yuukaihan]

[He grimaces. Even the thought of doing that seems troublesome.]

That much repetition will make it much harder to keep the phrase a secret, I think. Perhaps you ought only ask me for it if you have reason to doubt that I am...me.

[There is no way to say that sentence without sounding like an idiot.]

[petitvoleur]

[She actually laughs as she thinks about it, realizing it would both sound ridiculous and compromise the security of the code word.]

You're right. But you'll forgive me if I am overly cautious sometimes. There are times I'll want to be doubly sure it's you.

[yuukaihan]

[Oh, you're just getting the raised eyebrow now. You know the one.]

[petitvoleur]

[She merely arches a brow right back at him, and her response is in hushed tones.]

Can you blame me? Unless you want me bedding him by accident.

[yuukaihan]

[Something in him twists oddly at the thought, but he conceals it with a shrug and a grin.]

Might be an interesting comparison.

[petitvoleur]

[Don't think she's fooled for a minute, Kurama.]

Especially when he wonders why I'm pursuing someone who happens to be my brother's doppelganger.

[yuukaihan]

[He's totally a free-spirited thief who refuses to be tied down. Really. His lips do curl a little at her statement, though.]

A fair enough point. Perhaps I will leave it to your discretion, then.

[petitvoleur]

[She gives him a rather triumphant smile, but leans up on tiptoe—why is he so much taller than her—and kisses him on the cheek.]

Such a considerate brother you are.

[yuukaihan]

[He lets her have her moment of triumph - it was well-earned, after all - but he does lean in before she can move away and press a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth.

It's not much, but it's all he feels he can do here, where anyone could see them.]

[petitvoleur]

[It catches her a little off-guard, so much that she actually flushes a little bit before she changes the subject.]

What did he say to you?

[yuukaihan]

Not much of consequence.

[petitvoleur]

[She nods in agreement.]

To me as well. Perhaps he is being purposely nondescript.

[yuukaihan]

I'm not entirely sure I blame him.

[And in that, too, they are similar - Kurama's loathe to give out any information about himself to others.]

[petitvoleur]

[She considers that, for a moment; she was as vague toward the other Kurama as he was towards her.]

That's a fair point. Perhaps it's best if none of us know too much about each other.

[yuukaihan]

Perhaps.

[He can't quite say he agrees with her, though - his curiosity is nagging at him to learn more, although only inasmuch as he can obtain the information without having to give up too much about himself. If his double is as cautious as he, though, that could prove a very difficult undertaking.]

[petitvoleur]

[She crosses her arms, watching him, and not for the first time does she wish she could hear his thoughts. Finally she nudges his foot with the toe of her boot, and gives him a questioning look..]

[yuukaihan]

[He considers for a moment, then simply shakes his head. Things like this are perhaps best discussed somewhere he is relatively sure no one can overhear them.]

At a later time, perhaps.

[petitvoleur]

Later, then. As long as you aren't going to go mad on me.
