“ oh, nina … ‘s okay. c’mere. ”

it’s reddened and swollen. poor girl - this probably hurt to walk on. he’s certainly gotten his own share of splinters in life to know how painful ones in the foot are. he takes off his glove - his left one - before holding her paw gently in his right hand. there’s blood, but just a little bit of washing and she’ll be fine. that might honestly be the part that just stings the most for her … it’s a good thing he’s taken to keeping medical supplies with him, though. the last thing he’d want is for her to be in pain and get sick from it.

with a small breath, he clamps the exposed splinter with his fingers and starts pulling it out. not too fast - some of it might break off that way - but not too slow, either.  poor girl.

“ ‘m sorry. know it hurts. it’ll b’ fine though, ‘kay? ‘ll take care’a it. y’ can cry ‘f it hurts. i won’ get mad at y’. ”

As her big brother started to pull the large splinter from the pad of her paw, Nina’s breath hitched, her fear nearly getting the better of her. Her blank eyes fixated on the splinter, watching as it was pulled free from her flesh. Blood came, not a lot, but enough to spill over. Still she didn’t cry. Nina had seen her own blood spilled many times over the last few years, so the sight didn’t really bother her. Maybe if it hadn’t been Edward, she would have gotten upset, but that would have been out of fear that the small pain would lead to agony far greater. Aside from the Elric brothers, there were precious few people she could trust in not to harm her. She hoped very much that that would improve with time. It was no fun being afraid of others by instinct, but her brain wouldn’t allow anything else after all she’d been through.

“Know it’s okay to cry.”

As he applied pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding, Nina shifted her gaze to Ed’s face. Despite the throbbing pain in her paw, she managed a smile.

“Just want to be strong... like big brothers.”

*＊✿❀〘✿〙❀✿＊* She wouldn’t forgive her, nor would she trust her again, not that easily anyways. Still… The sincerity of her words softened Rena’s expression slightly. She understood the feeling of putting up a front to hide her true emotions, to prevent herself from being hurt again. She had even done so much as to distance herself from her past by taking on a name different from the one she was given by her mother. 

“You can stay Rina-chan. If you want to play with Rena-chan more then we’ll play.” She turned to look at her, a soft smile gracing her features. It was her way of saying thank you, even if she wasn’t willing to accept Rina into her heart or tell all the things she felt, she was willing to give her a chance. And that was more than Rena had given to her own mother, though she hadn’t wanted nor deserved a second chance.

“We won’t go too far past this point, otherwise you’ll hurt yourself.” She skipped along through the trash. “Wait here, okay? Rena-chan will come back with a surprise!” She disappeared behind a hill of junk, vanishing for a few moments before climbing back up, something in her hands. She slid down the otherside with ease, back towards the pink haired woman. She stumbled briefly, regaining her balance as she hurried up to her. “Here! Rena-chan found these the other day and cleaned them up.” She held out a pair of… construction worker’s boots. They were clearly too big for her own feet, probably too big for Rina’s as well. Still, it would be better than twisting her ankle or breaking her fancy shoes.

“Rena-chan was keeping them around for safe keeping, in case Rena-chan’s own shoes broke somehow, but they’re too big. So, you can use them!” She smiled warmly. It wasn’t forgiveness, but a genuinely kind gesture to show that even if she didn’t consider them friends, that she didn’t want her getting hurt.

“Next time we come here to play, we should do it after we go shopping to get better clothes and shoes for out here.” She wasn’t outright saying it, but it was an invitation. ‘I’ll give you a chance to get closer to me and show you’re sorry, but I’m not ready to fully open up yet.’ 

While she didn’t love the idea of wearing boots that had been in a dump, the gesture made her grin ear to ear. Rena was looking out for her safety, and that was a good sign they were on the path towards a mutual care for one another. She kicked off one heel at a time, carefully balancing as she put on each boot. “This is such a thoughtful gift, Rena-chan! Now I won’t look all silly wobbling around this place.” Rina placed her heels on top of a junked fridge, as it was high up enough that she’d be able to find them later without much trouble. Now that she was sporting appropriate foot wear, she might be able to keep up with the girl a bit better.

“I know it’s probably really hard for you to give me a second chance, so thank you.” Rina was a little surprised when she felt a few tears run down her cheeks. She quickly dried her eyes, blushing at just how emotional she’d gotten over the kindness Rena had shown her.

“I was pretty worried Rena-chan would hate me forever. It’s a big relief to hear you’re willing to spend time with me...” She was actually shaking a little now. If she’d been rejected by Rena... well she would have probably just packed her bags and left Hinamizawa. Starting over with Rena’s father wouldn’t have been possible if Rina’s mere presence disgusted his daughter. Now that she had been told outright that she had a chance at redemption, she could really start imagining a future here with the two of them. 

“I’m really excited to go clothes shopping with you, or take you to cafe’s I know you’ll love, stuff like that.”  Rina raised her hand, hesitating for just a moment before gently resting it on Rena’s shoulder. She just really wanted to show the girl some affection, hopefully that wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable. “Oh, and treasure hunting of course! I promise to put my all into this. I want to learn to love it as much as you do!” Hopefully devoting herself to the hobby would help Rena learn to love her a little bit. It might take a long while for that to happen, but she’d treasure every genuine smile or laugh she got from the girl along the way.

*＊✿❀〘✿〙❀✿＊* Reina. Reina. Reina Reina Reina Reina Reina Reina Reina-

She stabbed the knife into the cutting board, having finished chopping up the green onions. She had to keep it together, but this woman- this demon’s voice echoed in her mind. She gripped the counter, taking a couple deep breaths, her face contorted in pain. She felt like she was going to throw up, her head pounding at her temples.

She composed herself after another moment, swallowing as sweat beaded on her skin. She removed the knife from the chunk of wood that served as a cutting board and carefully replaced it in the block. “Sorry… Rena-chan must have forgotten to look after herself good today.” She was smiling again, but she was a bit paler than before. “Also, Rena-chan’s name is Rena.” She corrected her, in a sweet yet hollow tone. 

She walked over to the sink once more to take a drink, but the crawling feeling beneath her skin was there, ever present when in the company of her father’s new girlfriend. She filled a glass with water and drank it all relatively quickly. The coolness helped ground her a bit more. “Ah, don’t worry about me too much, I’m quite forgetful sometimes when I get busy.” She could smile a bit more convincingly now that she’d calmed down, the color returning to her skin. 

“Rena appreciates the help, but if it gets too hard for RIna-san then that’s fine too.” She didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but how did she know that name? Her father certainly never referred to her by that, but it may have been a slip up. She would have to brush it off for now, if only for the moment. She returned to help her cut the vegetables she was working on a bit more evenly. “Here, hold the knife like this when you chop them and keep it parallel to the counter.” She didn’t feel like answering her questions about how she learned how to cook. There was no reason to drudge up the past. This was supposed to be her happy future with her dad, after all.

“Oh! So sorry for the mix up, Rena-Chan. I certainly didn’t mean to upset you...” The kid had really planted that knife with some serious force into the cutting board. Rena’s former name was knowledge Rina had gotten from the girl’s own father blathering on and on about his failed marriage. Using it had in fact been an intentional test to gauge just what kind of messed up brat she was gonna be dealing with. From that little display, she had a feeling that Rena was in fact a complete mental case under that polite mask she put on. Just great, these types were far harder to deal with. They couldn’t be bribed with gifts or swayed with sweet words, she’d really have to put in the effort for this job.

“I used to go by a different name too. I was named after my mother, Ritsuko. She ran off when I was just a baby. I didn’t really feel good about sharing a name with a woman like that....” Rina frowned, her shoulders slumping some at the thought of her mother. That was the honest truth of what had happened, and that made it the perfect response. While she was a very competent actress, letting bits and pieces of her real self through always helped sell her performance. From her father’s rambling, Rina knew full well that this girl had gone through a similar situation. While it wouldn’t make them best friends or anything, the knowledge that Rina herself had a worthless mother might just allow the girl to sympathize some with her.

“I won’t make that mistake again. Promise.” Offering a smile, she finished up chopping the last of the veggies. The portion of each slice was somewhat uneven, but it was evident that she’d taken followed the girl’s instruction and given it her best effort. “I don’t plan on quitting if things get tough, Rena-chan. You’ve been alone in this for awhile, and that’s not fair on a kid. I’ve lived through it, so I can say that from experience.” Walking over to the sink, she scrubbed off the knife before drying it and putting it back. Cleaning up after herself would probably gain her some points after all, and she needed every last one if she was ever gonna get this awful little bitch to like her. Returning to Rena’s side, she place a hand lightly on her shoulder “You can count on me, really. I know that’s probably hard for you to believe, so I’ll just have to prove it to you.”

"Hurts..." Nina held up her paw, showing a splinter in the pad of her foot. She'd been chewing at it a bit, evident by the irritation to the pad and a little blood. While she knew better, animal instinct often superseded her own intelligence.

"Edward help?" She looked up to her big brother, a pitiful whine following her request. It was good he was here, she trusted him with this sort of thing. Others handling her was too frightening after the years of needles, beatings, and worse she'd endured during her time in that awful lab. Quieting herself, she did her best to straighten her posture to look a little braver. "Won't cry, promise... big girl now."

       “I think that’s a splendid idea! Plus, it would be a good way to cheer her up and all of us together can have a fun time looking for things too. Lately I’ve noticed she’s been feeling a little down lately. I wonder what could be the problem, mii…” Rika hummed in thought as she spoke. For all the Rina is doing for her, it already sounds like she really wants to attempt being close to her and try to make better relations. Plus it was kind of rare for Rika to actually meet her anyway so this could be some kind of good start? 

      “As much as Rena has made lunch bento and all for us, it would be great to do the favor for her too! Of course we can teach you how to make a couple of foods too if you wanted?”

“Oh good! I didn’t want to start planning out something like that until I got a second opinion. As for the cooking, I’ll do my best to learn from you two. Though I can’t promise anything but my diligence.” Rena truly had some great friends if they were willing to help out so much. Most kids just showed up for birthday parties, they’d never think of helping throw them for their friends. It was nice to see that Rena was so treasured by her little group, it was what a kind girl like herself deserved!

“Could you tell her other friends about this? That would save me the trouble of having to find everyone’s addresses.”

​— (  sonozaki-san  )

— mion sonozaki i’ll kill you for this.

just stop by the estate, she said. we’ll go to okinomiya right after, she said. keiichi boiled in his seat, wishing to any god that would listen to magically teleport him anywhere else. it was the weekend, and mion had planned what she’d called a ‘legendary’ event at her uncle’s toy store. only problem was, when he had stopped by to meet up with her at the agreed time, she had woken up late and was still in the shower. her mother, gracious hostess that she was, had taken it upon herself to let him in. he was grateful at first, of course, but like any doting mother she immediately began grilling him about his intention with her daughters. 

‘ i-if i’m being honest, i haven’t really given it much thought, haha… ’ he laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck raw. this was the first time he’d encountered mion’s mother, and he’d be lying if she didn’t intimidate the hell out of him. though her words did cause his interest to pique, slightly.

‘ …did you say suitors? ’ 

he hadn’t really thought about mion talking to another guy… she had hinted plenty of times about her family name being a big deal around these parts. being the only boy around their age at school he’d gotten kind of used to the thought of being the only one. he wasn’t sure how it made him feel… wasn’t he a little young to be worrying about that anyways? she was probably messing with him… mion herself would probably die to hear her mother ask him about this.

‘ i-i mean i don’t really think i’m ready for marriage. ’ he diverted his eyes, absentmindedly scratching at his cheek.

His reply earned a laugh from Akane, and she waved a hand dismissively. “I certainly didn’t mean it that way! Perhaps I should have clarified dating first? Certainly we wouldn’t want either of them married off before their schooling is completed.” It was easy to tell her teasing had made him a tad bit uncomfortable, so she leaned forward, pouring him some more tea. Perhaps that would settle his nerves some? Her intention hadn’t been to startle after all. She only meant to fluster, and make him mull his relationship with her daughters over a bit.

“I certainly don’t mean to matchmake for either of them. I didn’t tolerate that from my own mother, and I wouldn’t expect them to either.” While her initial falling out with Oryo had been hard on the family, privately things were fine now. While family approval was still needed for marriage, her daughters were free to pursue whoever they pleased thanks to her sacrifice back then. While change of practice in the Sonozaki family was had traditionally been arduous, it was unavoidable at this point. If they remained too stagnate and hard headed about every unpleasant archaic tradition, their line may one day die out. Akane had been willing to pay for her love with her own heirship, and she knew her daughter was even more hardheaded than she was back then. Even her mother had grown somewhat tired of the many unpopular aspects of being the head of family , she just could never voice so publicly. When Mion succeeded Oryo, she had her blessing to make changes that were in the best interest of the family’s continued survival.

“I only mentioned it because Mion speaks of you often. Much more than her other friends. I might be misinterpreting her fondness, but call it mother’s intuition.” Akane gave a wink, taking a sip of her own tea. While she would never outright state her daughters feelings, she wasn’t above hinting bluntly at them.

#{practiceswings} #{love is the force that conquers all: akane sonozaki} #((I'm not saying outright my daughter has feelings for you but I'm all but beating you over the head with the strong #possibility that she does!!)) #-akane #((to be clear the satoshi situation was an exception due to the whole buisness with his family))
