tengu are bad civilization

[deathdefied]

[So, hey, local hot nerd. Or maybe not so local hot nerd. Some time in the past, maybe, like a dumbass you decided to feed the local ravens. Since then, uh, well. The amount of ravens coming by has continued to increase exponentially. They follow you around town. Every raven for miles seems to recognize you. They keep leaving trinkets and gifts wherever you're staying.

And today, well. Today the entire local population is lined up as though waiting for someone, save for a smaller raven with some white feathers hopping around and trying to get your attention.

The fuck did you do, Itto Yasuhiro?]

[godeatsgod]

So you came all the way out here for me, then?

[He shakes his head.]

And what you want is... to be my wife?

[deathdefied]

I would take you as lord husband, yes.

[This birb is ready to party.]

If you would prefer a courtship first, that is fine...I am unfamiliar with how humans do things, but it is certainly worth taking your feelings into consideration.

[godeatsgod]

I'm not even really worried about me. You're... a divinity, if what you say is true. I'm just a scholar. I worry you will find me fascinating today and boring in a matter of weeks. I would save you the heartache, Saori.

[He smiles.]

I can tell you're the sort of woman I would say yes to, I just worry that you would not want this life.

[deathdefied]

Pff, I'm not a kitsune. I'm not so heartless or fickle...of the youkai, tengu are the ones closest to humans. It's said once we all were human, even someone like me.

Your kindness does you credit, but your anxieties are unfounded...though, there's no way but time to prove that to you.

[godeatsgod]

...It is hard to deny you, when you look at me like that.

[He will hold his arms open to her.]

Come on, then. If you're going to be my wife I want to hold you, at least.

[deathdefied]

[Well, it takes her a second. Partially because she has to remember how hugs work, and partially because the geta she's wearing are absolutely fucking ridiculous. But hugs will happen!]

[godeatsgod]

[He will absolutely grab her up and hold her against his chest, then, since he gets she's going to be a bit of a traditionalist if she's a tengu into giving gifts and whatnot. Just pull her close and keep her there for a moment.]

...What a pretty bird you are.

[deathdefied]

[She makes a happy peeping sound, and leans her head on his shoulder...birb is very soft. Not the softest birb, that's the one yelling at kitty stark, but still absurdly soft, especially for a raven.]

Of course...it wouldn't do for me to come disheveled, would it?

[godeatsgod]

Of course not. But you are beautiful even beyond that...

[He will begin the fingerpreening in earnest then, stroking a hand along through her hair if she's going to rest her chin on his shoulder.]

Saori...

[deathdefied]

Mmmmm?

[OH MAN SO MANY HAPPY CAWS. HAPPY BIRB. PET BIRB!!!]

[godeatsgod]

It is a good name, that's all.

[He'll pet the birb, don't worry! He understands that this is how birds bond with things, and we're sure won't end up with her responding drastically later!]

[deathdefied]

[Oh no of course not it's not like she's nuzzling his neck already or anything.]

Is it? I feared it was a little old-fashioned...

[godeatsgod]

My parents named me Yasuhiro. Do you think I can complain to anyone about being old-fashioned? Like the geta, you wear it well.

[He's enjoying her nuzzling, though.]

Getting comfortable, pretty bird?

[deathdefied]

You're warm...it's quite comfortable already.

[You're in danger, Itto.]

[godeatsgod]

Ahh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that, either.

[He'll continue to pet through her hair, along her cheek, then. Heedless of danger!]

I guess you know the layout of my apartment then, if you know all this about me, then, Saori?

[deathdefied]

Not entirely! It's not as though a raven can just come flying through here.

[What if she nibbles on his ear a little. What then, buddy.]

Is there somewhere you want to lead me?

[godeatsgod]

I was going to go lock my door, actually. But I thought I should tell you, pretty bird, that if you head down the hall, to the left you'll find the bathroom, and to the right, my bedroom. Okay?

[He'll shudder, lean back, and pet her a couple more times for good measure.]

[deathdefied]

To the right...understood.

[Well, she's fingerpreening his hair some first, but off she goes! Take this time to contemplate what sex is going to look like with a tengu, Itto, you idiot.]

[godeatsgod]

[Itto has two theories here. On one hand, she's from the most traditional background, being a youkai, so this might be a very standard romantic type encounter. On the other hand, she's very forward and god knows what passes for entertainment on an island, so she might be a freak. Either way, he's locking the door, taking a moment to steel himself, and then heading into the room.]

Saori?

[deathdefied]

[Well, the good news is, she's gotten out of the geta and the several layers of kimono that were going on there, and birdy is hot. Bad news, she got naked then got distracted by the books so he's greeted with the comical scene of a naked tengu reading his dissertation.]

Oh, goodness, you really are thorough...

[godeatsgod]

[Well then, he's just going to walk over to her then and just ghost a hand up her side to her hip if she's laying there reading his work.]

I try to be, Saori~

[deathdefied]

[She does shudder...there are feathers still, down her back and along her elbows, wrists and ankles, but they're downy soft. She's also got some scarring...someone's seen some pretty intense combat before!]

O-oh...I certainly hope so~

[godeatsgod]

[He'll sit on the bed then, and pull her against him, kissing into her hair, down her neck, and running a hand up her thigh.]

I imagine you do. I'm sure I won't disappoint you...

[deathdefied]

[Turns out she's evidently very sensitive to touch, given how she shivers, but she's not gonna waste any time peeling his shirt off of him. Let her touch! LET HER TOUCH!]

I don't doubt you for a second, Yasuhiro...

[godeatsgod]

[Hey, she got herself a buff nerd. Good work, Saori! Your reward is him finishing tracing his hand up her thigh.]

You're surprisingly modest, Saori...
