To say her red hair was as warm as the radiation of the sun wasn't exaggerate, but the girl felt more like moonlight shower, comfortable but not acute, soft and accepting.
The endeavour to stop the tears was fruitless, the salty liquid bedewed the shoulder of the mist's clothes and spread across the fabric, like the pain in their hearts. It was there, refused to be ignored and rang for its existence. The quivering shoulder, the rapid gulps and sporadic sniffles, feeling the sadness shared made Shu's body less tense.
The soft cooing and humming of Noemi's voice had made the wall that built to lock herself up fell apart. "I want to be liked by everyone, but I'm just a selfish human, I'd prefer hunting someone other than you, even I would never be forgiven. I will feel bad about that, but so much better than hurting you by my hands. I know, I know, because you're very very very important to me too." Shu stressed through the sobs.
The promise was mentioned once after once, repeated and repeated, it secured her drifting heart. "I won't leave you until you tell me to." Then, an outburst of laughter could be heard. "Mimi, if I was a man, I will surely steal you from the Sun hunter." The petite Asian with red eyes grinned, the track of tears still remained on her face. That's Shu, the petite Asian Death hunter. That was her way to tell someone she was alright, no matter how foolish she was.
"Hmm huh, I will stick with you tonight, I just need you to be my knight and protect me against my nightmares. Since you have a prince already, I will be your personal knight, only for you. I will come to you whenever you need me." Shu touched Noemi's forehead with hers, the tears hung on the eyelashes shimmered under light as they trembled slightly. "You're always so warm." A few of gentle rubs with forehead that meddled the bangs of both and then she stole the Mist's hand to hold it.
