oo42 [ voice // action ] BACKDATED TO THE 20TH

[poppetry]

Um... hi. [ She feels a little awkward, not knowing how to begin -- but she softens it with a laugh. ] It's been over a week now ... I wanted to thank everyone who's been taking care of me, and everyone who's come to see me at the clinic! It made me really happy. [ A beat ] And look, I'm even outside today!

[ She turns the journal away from her

[Action] - placeholder until after work. |D/

[Along their walk, Luke and Xion might spot a small, white puppy taking a quick snooze under the shade of a nearby tree. It yawns, rolls over on the grass, then lifts its head once a few voices start coming closer. Familiar voices. Those two pointy ears perk right up, and in an instant, the puppy recognizes the duo and bounds over toward them in...ungraceful and adorably hilarious hops. It is just a puppy, after all.

Xioooon! 8D You're out of the hospital finally, did you get my flowers? Did you like them? Are you feeling any better? All those questions come out as exciteable little yips and barks as the tiny pup wags its tail and jumps up and down happily. Seems Miyabi's too excited to see her big sister to remember that she can't speak, and that she's a little baby godpuppy.]

[OOC: Also I can't remember if Xion can see Ammy/Chibi's markings and divine instrument, so yeah. 8|a]

[Action] - same here |D/

[cakeblocked]

[Luke isn't really an animal type, especially the cute animal type. So once the little white puppy bounds over and starts hopping up and down, Luke stops and makes a face. To him, all this puppy is doing is getting in their way and making their journey a little harder, but he won't nudge it out of the way or anything. He will complain, though, and move his free hand in a gesture to go away.]

Go play with someone else, we're busy right now.

[Action] - HI GUYS

[poppetry]

Hey! Come on, Luke, don't be mean. [ She's smiling, leaning over a little in his grip to watch the puppy. But after just a moment her expression blanks out into surprise as she realizes what she's looking at. She can indeed see the markings and divine instrument.... but this is a puppy, not a wolf! ]

... Amaterasu? Is that you? You're so tiny!

[Action] - HI BIBBLE /edits to MAKE THIS BETTER.

[sun_puppy]

[...Luke, you did not just try and shoo her away. Miyabi growls at him, half tempted to march right to him and lift her leg threateningly. She never would actually follow through, of course (th-that's disgusting, and mean, and uncivilized, and--!), but still. It may be funny to see Luke's reaction to it. Of course, Xion's recognition of her omits all thoughts of revenge in the blink of an eye.

So, Xion could see her. Or, well...this Chibi person she had apparently become. A-Ammy's child. Miyabi was still reeling about that. Slowly, Miyabi lowers her head as she goes over toward Xion and whines, shaking her head. No, Xion, she is not Amaterasu. With a swish of her stubby tail, Miyabi draws a single dot in the ground, where a big, bright, yellow lilly bursts forth from the ink. It's among the many flowers Miyabi gave to Xion while she was in the hospital. Hopefully that should get the message across.]

[Action] - HI EVERYONE

[cakeblocked]

[Yes, Luke would rather she not do that. Not just because that would be disgusting and embarrassing and rude, but his flailing would probably make him lose his grip on Xion. And we wouldn't want that, huh?

His irritated expression fades at Xion's comment, though.]

Amaterasu? That wolf Asch plays with sometimes?

[And he nearly gets cut off by the flowers shooting up. Thankfully, he has a good grip on Xion, because he takes a step back and raises his free hand in front of his face in surprise.]

Whoa!

[Action] - CUDDLE PARTY /TACKLES BOTH OF YOU

[poppetry]

[ Xion gasps. Luke stepping back thankfully doesn't push her off balance -- she's standing on her own enough to remain steady, and she even lifts her left hand to her face. ]

I know that flower... it looks so familiar! [ She looks at Luke. ] Isn't that one of the ones that was in my room? But ... [ Looks at the bitty puppy with her head tilted. ] ... those all came from Miyabi.

[ The cant of her head and her expression ask what she herself is not: "Is that you?" ]

[Action] - YAAAY CUDDLES

[sun_puppy]

[Miyabi takes a quick step forward, ready to grab onto clothes or limbs if she has to, to keep anyone upright, but it's not needed. Thankfully, though, Xion seems to understand her message, and the look in her eye is sign enough. Miyabi understands the silent question locked away in there, call in a hunch, and nods her head solemnly.

Yes, Xion, this is your little sister, made littler, and...fuzzier.]

[Action] - EEEEE

[cakeblocked]

[Luke looks between the two, as if he's trying to figure this mystery out. It takes him longer to get it, considering how these things usually fly right over his head...

But with that nod, and the statement that those flowers came from Miyabi... He soon widens his eyes and stares down at her.]

Miyabi? It's really you?

[Action] - just as planned. also jeez chibiterasu is freaking adorable.

[poppetry]

[ Jeeeeeeeez. ] You seem to have a knack for turning into things, huh? [ She remembers the dragon.

Very carefully, she loosens Luke's hold on her waist and crouches down, reaching her left hand out to her little sister. Never mind the brace on her wrist. She can still use her fingers, at least. ]

And you can't even talk! That can't be any fun at all. [ A beat and a small frown as she thinks, before an idea makes her suddenly smile ] Would you like to come with us? We're headed for the village plaza.

[Action] - Isn't he? |D He hops when he runs in the game.

[sun_puppy]

[Miyabi makes a muffled grumble as she lowers her head, kind of a mixture of a whine and a growl. Yes, yes, it's her, and yes she does have a knack of turning into things, ha ha. Blame the Malnosso for that, Xion. Miyabi doesn't exactly choose to dragons, wolves, and...b-baby gods, thank you very much. She's content just to be herself. She's actually prefer it, but you know how the Malnosso are. They don't give anyone a choice.

Miyabi moves closer to Xion's hand, touching her nose tenderly to the girl's fingers, and even licks them. She whimpers, worried about making the girl move too much, but she nods her head, then looks at Luke after nodding to Xion's words. She'd love to join them, but someone just told her you both were busy.

...What were you two even doing together, so close? Besides supporting eachother.]

[Action] - He frolicks like a happy little puppy, yes |D

[cakeblocked]

[Well they ARE busy, what with trying to walk correctly and not letting his girlfriend fall and possibly hurt herself more. :| He glances at her as she crouches, just making sure - and then looks at Miyabi's accusing look.]

I'm sorry I brushed you off, okay? You can come with us if you want to.

[Action] - ... kind of do want.

[poppetry]

[ Xion gives a quiet laugh at the lick, gently passing her fingers over Miyabi's head, then stands. Even if she is a puppy right now, it feels weird to pet her little sister's head.

Standing is a slow process, though -- mostly because she's trying to be careful. Once she's up, she leans against Luke a little while she gets her balance back. ... and gently nudges him in the ribs. ]

Even if it wasn't Miyabi, how could you brush off such a cute puppy? Jeez, Luke. [ Grinning, now, and she looks at Miyabi again. ] We're going to get something to eat, too. We'll share it with you!

[sun_puppy]

[Miyabi watches Xion carefully as she stands, ready to spring to her aid if need be. She doesn't care if she's just a puppy, Xion was hurt and she'd do anything in her power to help her if she needed it. Though...Luke seems to be helping quite a bit, oh yes. Miyabi looks from one to the other, slowly, and she grins. Or, well, as close to a grin as a small wolf pup can grin.

My, my...aren't you two close, ohoho~ The prospect of getting food isn't near enough to distract her from this rather telling display.]

[Action] - ... But Okami is better :|

[cakeblocked]

[Luke makes a face at Xion, and to further support Miya's suspecting, he... seems to be blushing lightly, while still holding her around the waist. X-Xion, don't tease him in public, gdit. D| Also how can you be his girlfriend for this long and not realize his annoyance over cute animals.

He looks down at Miyabi, and since he's never had a dog or... well, any other animal besides Mieu, he can't really tell what kind of expression she has right now.]

... I guess she wants to come.

[Action] - o-omg the cuteness is overwhelming my soul

[poppetry]

[ Ok, amendment: brush off such a cute puppy AROUND HER? She LOVES cute animals, unlike a certain grumpy face over here! And how can you be her boyfriend so long and not realize her love of cute animals. Gosh.

She'd probably make this worse by, at this point, giving him an affectionate kiss on the cheek... but being aware that Miyabi is just sorta standing there, she carefully lifts her left arm to ruffle his hair instead, fondly. ] I think so too. [ Then she looks at Miyabi, and nods down the path. ] Come on. Though ... I hope you don't mind going a little slowly. [ Her smile turns apologetic. ] I'm trying to be careful. [ But she'll get the group started again, moving at the same steady, slow pace as before down the path. ]

[Action] -Yes it is and JUST AS PLANNED B)

[sun_puppy]

[If wolves could snicker, Miyabi would be doing so RIGHT NOW, but she is still showing off her tiny puppy teeth in a wolfish grin. Luke, you are positively transparent. At least Xion is being somewhat cute and subtle about it, but oh gods is she going to tease you both once she's normal again.

Though at Xion's words, Miyabi's grin falls, and she folds her ears back, sliding over to walk leisurely at Xion's other side. If anyone were passing by, it'd look like a "heel" command, though Miyabi's keeping a careful and close eye on Xion. Luke should be able to handle things on his own, but she still wanted to be sure her big sister would be all right.]
