"I see, so you are here to keep me alive," Ruby said, looking at Kyra up and down, turning to face the cave's entrance for a moment, with her left ear twitching slightly. "I've survived this long because I know plently of people like you... I'd say I'm both the luckiest and unluckiest beastfolk...
Meeting Kyra in Zalra was the last thing Ruby was expecting... But her friend's list denounced the position of the girl, and Ruby, even though she initially intended to avoid many people she has left behind in her one month of disappearance, decided to call the girl to meet up. Remembering her...
When the familiar voice called her, Ruby's ears twitched under her hood, making her shift her body toward the voice.
"Fina." Ruby turned to look at Fina, waving her tail and pulling her hood down, revealing her crimson ears and hair. She stood still for a moment, watching the other girl with a...
Ruby's cloak billowed with the Eastern Brisshal's wind, one that guided the clouds in the sky, while the cat girl tried to tug her hood down, hoping to keep her face covered and protected from the wind. Unlike the first day they met, the beautiful blue sky was replaced by a more solemn mix of...
It is fine, I figured you would be travelling. There isn't much of 'everything' to tell, but I can probably talk about what you want in person.
Where are you travelling to?
@Herculean Drakecon
The jest and punch from Kyra made Ruby giggle, rubbing her own arm and shrugging slightly. "What can I say? Even the most experienced explorers can be caught off guard... This dungeon was much more complicated than I expected. Good thing we managed to get out." A sigh escaped from her lips, and...
As they started approaching the exit, Ruby noticed Kyra speeding up and hurrying ahead. Ruby smirked playfully, knowing very well she could just blast off at full speed with her dynamism... But where was the fun in that? Instead, she ran with her own speed, blasting off and running alongside...
Managing to stay on the front row of the improvised arena of people, Ruby had the pleasure of watching the beautiful presentation with the best view she could have. Her eyes followed the steps of the other beastfolk, tracing every movement, impressed by the carefree yet very elegant movements...
Ruby's cheeks turned rosy at the tease, swaying her tail and staring back at Fina with a defiant expression. "Oh yeah, they might?" She unwrapped her tail from Fina, standing and holding a firm grip of her liuqin, taking a step toward the tent and then offering a hand for Fina to help her stand...
It took Yuhan all her emotional energy to consider logging back into that cursed game. After a whole month without touching her VR device, it almost felt like Terrasphere was going to become something of the past. Still, the reminder of friends she had in the game, people she cared for, perhaps...
When Fina's eyes met hers, Ruby squinted with a smug grin, swaying the spoon slightly to emphasize she had to open her mouth. When the other girl finally did, Ruby gently spoonfed her. "There we go! Tasty, right?" She teased, maybe having more fun with it than she should.
Her attention then...
Someday, around a month after the events of the Red Fever, a sudden message appeared. One that, for those without a context, would be confusing. But for the recipient, @Herculean Drakecon, it would be clear and straightforward.
I am ready.
With the trust given, Ruby smiled. "It won't hurt, I promise you."
Ruby reached for Kyra's hand, and even though the touch didn't really connect, the cold breeze touched the fox girl's hand, echoing through her body and slowly taking over her. Kyra would be able feel if she allowed the effect...
Ruby smiled warmly when Fina reinforced she was happy, to tell the truth for her. The smile faded slightly at the mention of her having it rough, but she shook her head in response.
"I wouldn't say rough per se. A lot of people had it much worse-" Ruby would never dare to compare what happened...
"Half for each then." Ruby nodded, opening her UI to take two bowls from her inventory, and carefully dividing the pot's content on each of the bowls. As the food was poured, warm steam escaped from it, already being enough to warm the curious nostrils of any of the two that decided to sniff how...
Ruby smiled and nodded at the suggestion of enjoying the company. Surely it was something Ruby wished for, especially having someone so caring with her now.
"Not fond of responsibilities huh? They can be tough sometimes." Ruby chuckled, pausing and pondering for a moment. "I have been in this...
The hesitation was concerning, but also very understandable.
Ruby watched while Kyra was on the verge of snapping, allowing her to voice everything she thought about it.
"Pretty much. We will be able to 'ghost' our way through things. It isn't as quick as flying or teleporting, but it will...
Ruby watched the other girl's expressions and voice growing in desperation, allowing her to go on and vent all her questions and fears.
Eventually, Ruby lifted a finger close to Kyra's lips, not touching it, but signing her to be quiet before smiling. "Calm down, I won't take your spirit out of...
"Honestly, maybe we will go upstairs and the same will happen." She rubbed her neck, closing her eyes and frowning when noticing that Kyra was almost putting herself at blame for their dead end, even though that was no one's fault.
Ruby glanced at the stairs going down, still endless but at the...
