It was a lot easier, at least. I sort of miss it. [You know, when shit was normal.] I always forget that spirits never really had a childhood or anything. You guys just sort of...pop into existence.
Mm. I suppose you could think of the first few years following my smithing as something similar to a childhood, and perhaps the earning of my name could be considered my coming of age... but I, as myself, as Nikkari Aoe, have always just been.
[ his free hand goes over his chest as his tail flicks absentmindedly. ]
Haha... I'm sure this must sound so strange to you.
It definitely sounds a little strange, yeah. [He'll just pet Nikkari's torso while he talks.] Mostly because everyone I know has years of memories but from different parts of their lives. And those memories tend to make up who the person is, so to just "be" is an interesting thought.
It's not as if that isn't the case for us, too, you know. My colleagues and I also have memories that distinguish us from one another. I will concede, though, that being granted these human forms has certainly also helped...
[ ... he trails off there to start purring as junpei continues to pet him. ]
[ he adjusts himself so that he's not forcing junpei to bear his body weight, but more so that they're comfortably flush side by side under the covers. ]
[Listen. But he's shifting an arm to slip around Nikkari's shoulders so they aren't laying on it and they can lay under the blanket nest comfortably. Normally he wouldn't do this, but being in the presence of another cat, and also Nikkari himself, means he's more relaxed. He presses up as close as he can though.]
Of course. [He's just shaking his head, but he shifts to let Nikkari's face rest there. That's fine by him.] ...only a little while. I still have a lot to do, but...it can wait a bit.
[Unexpected but...it's nice. There's a content sound before he lets his own eyes shut and bundles the blankets a little tighter around them. Naptime for cattes. It won't take him that long before he begins to drift, too.]

Are you really falling asleep on me? I'm being serious here. [He doesn't seem to mind.]

Haha... are you worried someone will walk in on us? We aren't even doing anything indecent.

[He hasn't. Fuckin'. Slept. Zombiegate happened and he gave up.]

Mm... then we can nap.

[ as he nuzzles his face into the crook of junpei's neck, he breathes out a quiet, sleepy laugh. ]
I'm talking about the length of our nap, of course.
