( angela's quiet. maybe she isn't going to recite it. maybe she shouldn't—but she does, voice soft and gentle like a nighttime breeze. )
"Wishing not to have
so much as a speck of shame
toward heaven until the day I die,
I suffered, even when the wind stirred the leaves.
With my heart singing to the stars,
I shall love all things that are dying.
And I must walk the road
that has been given to me.
Tonight, again, the stars are
brushed by the wind."
( ... )
That's all.

... That's really beautiful.
[ and she means it, too. it's a lovely, lonely poem, and reminds her of the angela who was so angry at being left behind, the angela who had seen them loop after loop after loop, the angela who resented her creators for making her who she was and followed the path laid out before her.
... who stepped off it, onto her own. it's a very, very lovely poem. ]
Something you read back in The Library?

Something I... ( ... ) Yes.
( no. it was before that, probably, but it's easier to say it was in the library. )
What do you think of it?

What do you think of it?
It sounds... lonely, and yearning. Like the person who wrote it wanted to be brushed by the wind, too. That the world moved without them, when they wanted to move with the world, off the path that they'd been given.
[ something... like that. she's not the analytic of their floor, not the literature nerd of their floor, not the sensitive artistic soul... but that's what she thinks.
she wished she could've been brushed by the wind, too. ]

( angela grows quiet, face turned away. that the world moved without them... )
...Perhaps that's why I felt myself so drawn to it. ( back then, and in reflection. ) Do you have a piece of poetry rattling somewhere in that head of yours that you feel similarly about?
( she doubts it. but. )

( immediately makes a face and turns away entirely, busying herself with her book again. )
That's nice, Malkuth. Anything else?

( ...oh, she remembers him and his rather kind offer. )
Hello, Niki. I've been fine, or as fine as one can be here. It is somewhat distressing how quickly one becomes corrupted by Natural Souls... but I suppose it is the same back home.
Regardless, I would enjoy catching up over tea.

yeah, no kidding. [He hadn't noticed it right away... Or maybe he didn't want to.] I thought it would take longer, but then it was like things changed overnight.
[She says it was similar to back home, but Niki understands that that may not necessarily make it less distressing. It's hard.]
why don't you come by the cafe I work at? I'm not working today, but I can still hook us up~♪
[He sends the address along, too, just in case she needs it.]

( heck yes... the secret menu. )
I'll be there soon.
( and, true to her word, she'll go. her corruption is... more than someone who might have been here just barely a month, with dark feathers already beginning to take over her scalp beneath her hair; it gives her the impression of having dyed it a shiny black. her digits, too, resemble more closely the talons of the raven she embodies when she fully shifts than the fingers of the human she always wished to be.
beneath her clothes are more feathers, but she's dressed conservatively as always: long dark coat, tights over a skirt, blouse and ribbon. if she doesn't have to look at them, she doesn't have to acknowledge them. they itch beneath the clothes, but she can ignore that, she can, it's fine, it's fine, it's f )
Shiina. ( she'll greet him as soon as she sees him. ) I expect you to show off your tastebuds today. You can't let Rinne beat you in the food recommendation department, after all.

Are you going to pick that up in addition to the rest of your jobs and hobbies?

It's not as simple as red and blue make purple. By adding different hues, or even starting with a completely opposing color on the wheel, you can make the result warm, vibrant, cool... all kinds of things! There's a science behind it that artists can do with just a look!
[ she's been reading, ]
I haven't seen him in action myself, but I'd really like to! We've just been drawing together mostly.

It was a good effort, however there is room for improvement. Your vocabulary and grammar are both lacking, showcasing a rather simplistic approach to flirting. I acknowledge some people might appreciate that, even if I don't. The length of it was quite nice but could have been snappier. Finally, I personally feel as if you could have been clearer about what the "right end" is to you, as that also may be personal preference.
You can do better, Amagi. Try.

[ It begins with seeking to confirm who was collected by Patho-Gen due to the Augmenter recall, which only leads to more questions. The rising tensions surrounding the situation remind Yesod of his conversation with Momo last month, as well as what Angela shared when he arrived.
It's unfortunate that she presumably can't locate the Librarians as she did in the Library. ]
Could I speak with you in person, Angela?

( she can't. if she could, she would have already cinched malkuth, taking care of anyone who might have stood in her way.
because malkuth is her employee, you see. nothing else. not friends, not imprinted.
it's nice to know yesod is not one of those stolen away though, and she smoothes her feathers before responding. )
Yes. My room. I'll prepare tea.
( she's been practicing, remembering how binah did it. she's sure they taste similar enough by now, with luck. )

I appreciate it. I'll set out shortly.
[ Rather than the prospect of tea, he appreciates the chance to resume discussing Patho-Gen with Angela — and to stay aware of her whereabouts and Malkuth's as much as possible, considering how much is withheld from the Augmented. Soon enough, he arrives to announce himself with a knock, as though this is simply a visit to another floor of the Library.
Perhaps no location is genuinely private while they have Patho-Gen technology on their person, which Yesod means to keep in mind, but their rooms in the Valentia are a better option than Patho-Gen facilities or the Syntrofos. ]

( it may as well be, as when angela opens her door, there are dozens of books strewn about her room in an orderly sort of chaos. the delicate scent of tea wafts from two cups on the table, freshly-poured, and she motions him inside. after giving a long look outside both ways, she shuts the door, locks it, and fixes the dark feathers at the back of her neck. )
You may begin.
( tell her what's up, yesod, and enjoy the rosehip tea she's tried to prepare. it's a little understeeped, but that can be fixed with time. )

It sounds like something Netzach would enjoy. ( would have enjoyed. ) Are you any good at it?
