Through a Mirror Mauvely
Wolffluff and Kyoko:
"…And I thought I was a big eater."
Since your more important limbs were fully occupied, it fell to your tail to provide the fluffy prod of retribution for such a scurrilous accusation.
Your limbs being occupied because you were working your way through an entire Bluefin tuna was entirely circumstantial. You were a growing girl, after all.
There was a high pitched sound from somewhere on top of you as your rapid mastication threatened to dislodge your passenger, only managing to anchor herself to you by holding onto fistfuls of your ample fluff.
"Yuma! What the f-what are you doing up there?!"
"Don't be mad, big sis, it's fun trying to hold on when bigger sis is all bouncy, and she doesn't mind-"
You broadcast a telepathic haze of warm agreement, your mouth having far more important things to be doing than reply.
"Eurgh, fine, just don't come crying to me if you end up as desert."
More reproachful tail prodding ensues, until her thunderous expression fades and there is the ghost of a smile on her face as she bats them away.
She really is a puzzle, you think, as you lick away the pink froth around your mouth. For someone who claims to be as hardened and jaded as she does to find something so aggravating as a little blood, even from something as delicious as that fish.
Not that it's stopped her joining Yuma in snuggling up to you when the nights turn cold. Maybe she needs a hunt to take her mind off things. Say what you want about those broken
things, they don't tend to bleed much.
You just hope Yuma has found some more of that minty paste somewhere, or else you'll have the taste of rotten soul clinging to your tongue for the next week.
Bluenette Bloodsnuggles:
The world collapses around you, and you find yourself on the rooftop again. You have a sudden appreciation for the quietness of this world now. It, at least, didn't make you want to vomit yourself hollow.
The rents in your pale, spongy flesh close without you even having to think about it, the sheer potency of the medium that saturated every inch of your soft, fungal form purging any trace of what you just endured from your form.
The others were not quite so lucky, but then again, they were the ones that could actually fight that
thing.
Sayaka could barely walk, her soul tarnishing before your eyes as her half-formed magic attempted to knit her back together. She was first then. Nobody could accuse you of favouritism right now.
You quiet your maudlin thoughts, moulding your face into a concerning smile as you cross over to them. It was time to be useful, for once.
"Sayaka, what have I told you about that~"
Her expression turns sheepish and the steady dissolution of her soul slows until nobody who wasn't you, or perhaps IT, would be able to notice.
"Sorry…"
She looks sheepishly at you, cheeks slightly pink, though how she manages to always be able to blush for you even when she's leaking as much as she is you don't think you'll ever understand.
You will a shiny red pearl of your medium to coalesce upon the tip of your finger. Enough to knit her back together, and a little extra to balm her soul and put the shine back in her eyes. The Useless Club had to look out for each other, after all.
You press your finger to her lips, and she shudders as your power fills her.
Her wounds
steam as they seal without even a trace of their existence, and her eyes defocus into the familiar haze that you had inwardly termed blood-tipsy. Not quite drunk, you knew better than to tempt
that, but comfortably distant from the cares of the world.
"Thank you~"
She sways on her feet, filled with the feelings infused within your medium as they burned away her Grief. In your eyes, there was nothing quite as beautiful as Sayaka freed of all cares.
You help her down from her feet, letting her prop herself against a wall while your more subtle magic takes hold within her.
You wanted to stay and lean against her, let the cool night breeze cool the fevered fungal warmth of your body.
But you had others to see to, so you left her with a kiss on the forehead, and a silent agreement with the others that you would pretend not to see their blushes if they did the same for yours.
