[ It's not like she has anything better to do, anyway. Not to mention, making connections here might help her in the long run. It's a little strange to befriend someone whose dick you just sucked, but maybe if she just didn't think about that anymore and focused on other things.
For now, she switches the hair dryer back on, though at a lower speed now so they can talk while she dries her hair. ]
[ Is it? Is it strange to befriend someone whose dick you sucked? Because Kazuya feels like that's the least he should be doing for a girl he just ate out. ]
I was kind of curious about that Aura of yours? I mean, I know what it is, and all that, but isn't it dangerous to just... make your soul appear so easily?
[ He's not even going to touch sexy questions with a ten foot pole right now, thanks. ]
[ The less she knows about him, the more times she can suck his dick. (Wait.) ]
Dangerous? It would be more dangerous if I didn't activate my Aura.
[ What an odd question, but she supposes because he's not from Remnant, he might have a different point of view. She keeps her mind open to other opinions, but with the way one of her eyes squint as her brow arches up, she's not particularly in agreement with him. ]
If I didn't activate my Aura, I'd have wounds all over by now thanks to you. [ A beat. She grabs the brush and starts brushing her hair while her other hand focuses on certain spots of her hair with the dryer. ] Anybody could just about injure me.
[ He can still think of a few more places he could leave hickies, tbh. ]
But you use your soul to heal that. Wouldn't it get tiring? And if your soul is just... exposed like that, wouldn't it be easier to damage? Or take?
[ Like, inside is where it's supposed to be, and even then it technically isn't safe from the likes of demons. It'd be way easier to consume like how she uses it, though. ]
Aura regenerates over time, so it's just a matter of getting enough rest, really.
[ Admittedly, she's one of the Huntresses who use their Aura more than ever. Others are a little more careful, but Weiss is very reliant on her Aura and her Semblance for combat and a lot of other things. The idea of regeneration is something that comes naturally to her now, and it isn't a big deal to her. ]
It's a manifestation of my soul, but my exact soul. It's complicated.
[ As for taking someone else's Aura? That's definitely possible, but she'd rather not go there. That's even more complicated. Kazuya is asking the difficult questions here. ]
Taking someone's Aura isn't unheard of, where I'm from, but it certainly isn't an easy task. [ She waves her hand with a brush. ] Are you worried for me?
[ The wheels in his head are turning as she says that, and he tilts his head a little, appraises her a little more closely, even if he doesn't quite realize how his gaze intensifies. ]
It smells the same. [ Ugh. That sounds weird to say, but it's true. ] I guess, yeah. I am, a little bit. There's at least one other demon around, and even if he's pretty weak, it could still be possible for him to maybe consume it? Wouldn't that hurt you?
[ At least, that's what she thinks? She can't imagine someone ever taking her Aura, whether permanently or temporarily, like draining her of energy like extreme cold temperatures. That would honestly be a little scary.
But she doesn't look scared, especially since "consuming" Aura is such an unheard of concept to her. She'll figure it out if and when it does happen, but it would be better if it never got to that point.
She sets the dryer down eventually, running a hand through her hair while her other hand guides the brush down the strands. She's got such long hair that this will really take a while before she's done with it. ]
I'll be fine. No need to worry. It's not like I'm not capable in a fight.
Maybe you are. But where I'm from, even the strongest human doesn't stand a chance against even the weakest demon.
[ Harmonizer aside, anyway. And that still only brings humans and demons closer together in a match up. There's still incredibly powerful demons who even with that edge could swat down a human like a fly.
He knows. He's lived it. His concern is coming from a real place. He really doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.]
Shouldn't you be at least a little worried about something like that happening?
It's something I've never even heard of until now.
[ So maybe she should be worried. She would be worried if this was a common occurrence where she's from, and it was a threat that she tried to escape from day by day. It isn't, though, so it's met with a little bit of resistance. ]
There also seems to be a lot of people here— wildcards like us. The chances of even meeting this demon you're talking about is pretty low, if you asked me.
[ Really, he's saying this for her own benefit, and it feels like his concern is being brushed aside? ]
And there could be more, he's just the only one I know about.
[ If there's two, there's definitely a greater possibility that there are more demons, a greater possibility of her having to deal with the very thing they're talking about. ]
Maybe to be more careful and not use it if it's not immediately life threatening? I mean... It has a pretty strong smell to it when you use it. You'd probably draw in more trouble if you did it needlessly.
[.. Part of him may just be saying that so she stops getting rid of his marks on her neck.]
[ Right. He's a demon. A demon who... eats souls, apparently. That's still very weird, but not scary. He doesn't seem scary to her, but it may be a combination of what just happened between them and that she might be thinking she can hold her own if they ever fought.
Which. . . hopefully doesn't happen. Without her weapon and Dust, she's not as powerful as she'd like to be.
She stops brushing and turns to face him, legs crossed. There's a part of her that's not quite happy being told what to do. It may come from a good place—out of concern and all—but she just doesn't like the unsolicited advice. It's nothing against him, though. It's nothin personal! This is just how she is. ]
I think you fail to see that this is instinct at this point. I have had my Aura activated since I was a child, and I had been training to become a Huntress since then, as well. Not activating it is a little more challenging than you might think.
[ Which is a rather bad excuse. But it's better than saying "I don't want to do what you are telling me to do". ]
[He's a demon who has the capability of eating souls, but to actually consume one kind of gives him the heebie-jeebies. Which she should be thankful for, honestly. That he's not enough of the demon he could be to actually try.
He tilts his head a bit, flexes his fingers into the bed sheets as he looks at her.]
I could probably help with that, you know.
[Which is... Likely not what she wants to hear! But he'll also go on and push past that, because she also asked him something, and he gives a contemplative hum for it.]
Floral...? And kind of citrus-y? And then there's a bit of... Kind of the smell of fresh snow?
She'd be a bit more concerned about what he actually means if not for him complying and describing her soul's scent. Sure, she asked, but she wasn't expecting him to actually answer! ]
[ It's comically long, the way Weiss stares at him with a pout on her face. It was some time ago when they were still inside the casino, but she's pretty sure she told him not to make things weird!! He's making things weird!
A few seconds later, she huffs indignantly. ]
Why would I want you to make me stop using my Aura? I need that.
So you're safe from demons who might try to consume it when they catch the scent of it?
[He offers, with a slight quirk of his lip....
And then he brings his hands up, like he's trying to be particularly menacing and scary despite the fact that him sitting there with no shirt paints an entirely different picture.]
You know, like a very hungry king of demons, for example?
[ She leans back, brow arched, lips forming a line. ]
No.
[ That was a no to what he said last. He's definitely not allowed to eat her. Beyond what... she said he is allowed to do. (She won't say it again!!!) ]
That's already so suspicious! [ He's so sus!!! He's gonna eat her one of these days, and she cannot let her guard down. She shucks the hairbrush at him for good measure. ] At least be a bit more specific. Magic isn't a concept that should even exist where I'm from, just so you know. What kind of magic? How long will the spell last? How potent is it?
[ If he's proposing something, then he'd better give a bit more detail. ]
[This time he lifts his hand to catch that hairbrush with surprising reflexes. Definitely nothing he's shown so far.]
It's a curse. It'll block you from being able to use your Aura... Sort of like how it'd block someone from being able to use magic. It doesn't have to be very potent, honestly. And how long it can last is from a few minutes to a few hours to a day or so? Depends on how strong I make it.
[He tosses the brush up and down in his hand as he watches her, but makes no move to do anything else.]
You said your Aura regenerates, didn't you? Wouldn't it make more sense for me to consume that than to consume a person?
[ Well, he's fast. She has to give him that! It's a little piece of information she tucks in her brain for now. It may have even been a fluke - who knows! He did say he's new to this king thing... so maybe he doesn't have any combat experience prior? ]
Let me get this straight: you said you were concerned for me, and that you want me to not activate my Aura around other demons so they don't consume my soul.
But if you need it, you want to ask for my permission to let you have some?
[ She has no idea what to think of him. But he does make a compelling argument, even if it does sound like such a sick thing to do. ]
[It is out of concern! But also, a very quiet, deeper part of him does absolutely enjoy the fact that if he can convince her, then that means he'll have a ready access of food when he wants it. Maybe not needs, but definitely if he wants it.
It's definitely coming from as much of a selfish place as it is one of concern.]
I think I told you earlier, but hurting people isn't really my kind of thing.
[Except for, you know, when he bit her hard enough to make her bleed. Which absolutely wasn't recent at all. Not even remotely!!!]
