"Hmmph..." Tsumiko fell silent, seeming to be thinking about something important for a minute or two. "What foods can you make in my dreams, anyway..."

Her stomach rumbled.

Carin

Carin just smiled at the thought, leaving Tsumiko to mull over her words on her own time. Instead she just asked a more important question. "Is there anything you would prefer?"

When next Tsumiko blinked, a bowl filled with rice with pork cutlet over it was sitting in front of her on the kotatsu.

"I like this one, myself."

Tsumiko

The girl sat up, picking up the bowl and looking over it with watering eyes. She clicked her tongue and took a deep breath, taking a bite out of it. It was really tasty.

She put it back down though, biting her lip. She wanted to speak, but couldn't.

Instead, she laid back down on the floor, rolling over.

Aiden:
Carin

The young goddess could tell Tsumiko enjoyed the food, so why was she still so sad? Carin hummed, and leaned over the kotatsu a bit to look at the other girl.

"Was that one no good?"

SINIB:
Tsumiko

Tsumiko laid on the ground, tears leaking out of her eyes. She rolled over, projecting a pillow out of thin air and burying her face in it.

"Mmm-no, it was good..." Tsumiko sounded muffled,  sniffling into the pillow. Of course it was good, how could it not be..."

She felt her heart sieze up a bit suddenly at that moment, and the air began to buzz with a faint aound of static, the cieling getting fuzzy. Tsumiko didn't seem to notice, was the strange part.

It felt like the walls, the air, everything, was watching carin closely. Observing her, like a predator hunting prey.

Aiden:
Carin

How strange that the dream she had created for Tsumiko could be intruded upon this way. As the form Carin used to interact with the dream moved around the kotatsu to sit next to the mortal (?) girl rather than across, she reached out.

Hello?

SINIB:
Tsumiko

Tsumiko finally rolled over groaning, going back to looking at the ceiling for a moment before sitting back up, picking up the food, and digging in. She shoveled it into her mouth, practically swallowing it whole, and showing no manners whatsoever. It was fast, efficient, and she finished the entire thing within half a minute. Her stomach grumbled some more, and she looked at Carin with big, hopeful eyes.

She licked her lips clean of stray rice grains, but missed one on her upper lip.


Meanwhile, the air seemed to grow positively heavy, gelatinous. For Carin, it felt like she was moving through petroleum jelly as she got closer to Tsumiko. A warning.

"Yes, hello. What are you doing here, in our domain? Who are you, really, and what are you doing to her? Why don't you answer my questions before you do much more to her?"
