July full moon Fox

[saph]

Saphyre was awake. She’d come fully awake when he started moving. She sat up rubbing at her eyes as Kusa pulled away. She really wasn’t a morning person. She stood slowly holding onto the wall for support, her hair shifting its own waves to cover, but at the same time just not quite. She didn’t pay any mind to Kusa’s body but looked into his face.

She mumbled something not entirely intelligible, and waved to him to follow. They weren’t all that far from their things. She led him back to that overly dim barely there light. She yawned. She would much rather be asleep right now. She had kept her eyes mostly closed she didn’t need them to find her things. She knew these tunnels better then anyone every full moon she would come through these her things left at the same location every time. She operated at this point as though she was on auto pilot.

It only took a few minutes of walking but they were back where they had started the night. There was Kusa’s yellow bag and Saphyre’s. Their clothes that didn’t exactly survive the night were scattered along the floor of the mouth of the tunnel.

Saphyre went to her own bag and turned of the barely there light. That was even to much for her this early. She yawned again. She opened her bag and pulled out a gray camisole and a pair of old and worn jeans. She started dressing pulling the shirt over her head and settling it into place then she pulled on her jeans. She found her worn out sneaks and slid her feet back into them.

She moved to the remains of her clothes and picked them up she found Kusa’s while she was at it and gathered them up as well. Moving back to her bag since it was now empty she put the ruined clothes into the pack. She rubbed her eyes brushing the rest of the sleep out of them. No she still wasn’t awake. But she wasn’t a grouchy person in the mornings she was just a little more lethargic after the full moon.

Finally she actually spoke. “Come on Kusa, we’ll go back to my place and there we can either go back to sleep after getting cleaned up and getting some food. Or we could just relax the day away and hang out.” She yawned at the end of the statement.

The tunnels, seemed all too familiar to him, the scents the feeling of it all coursing up the hairs of his arms standing them on air with the subtle winds within the tunnels. He’d follow behind her still with nervous like actions. Adoring the mornings and afternoons as they were his most active time however this morning he was drained of most his energy and coming down from the adrenaline of last night. His chest expanded and collapsed with every breath he took. His eyes focused completely in the darkness in front of him almost memorizing it just by the feeling and smell alone within the tunnels. He’d let his bare feet shift on the ground below digging in through the layers of dirt and ground below him.

The watching of Saphyre’s body moving hazily through the tunnels on its own, produced a zombie like state caused him to smile some however, as he didn’t look at anything of her body, as he was more fascinated by the tunnels themselves, and wondering how humans never came upon this place or hide within the well maintained hiding spot. He’d look around at all the brick and concrete making the pseudo foxhole. He knew this place just from his beasts interaction with it, this was natural… a home.

The torn cloths at the end of their journey only showed the beginning of last night, immediately grabbing his duffel bag and torn open the zipper letting it ring through the hollow of tunnels. He’d watch as he dug through finding a pair of his boxers and ten pulled them on covering his lower body at least better. Next he pulled out a stained pair of hakama style pants smelling clean yet but easily seen as a old pair, mixed with stains of crimson, and lines of tears through the silk as he pulled it up letting the pleats fold out skirt like and then tied the strings and tied it to the side wrapping the string twice. He’d leer on the tabi sandals as they stuck on his feet. He’d then fold a white kimono cotton cloth over his body tying it at the side in a half sash. The next reaching for a blue with silver lotus silk kimono and placed it over the white cotton, and tied it at the sides. His normal clothing after a shift as it smelled much like home, and much like his fox. Bundling in the cloth he tied back his hair showing the shaved sides and just the top strip as it was done in a pony tail. He’d reach one his ribbons to her to sort of make her hair presentable.

“Here, least make you seem presentable, and right now.. all I want is a shower.. and maybe a bit more sleep, then sure we can hang out the rest of the day if you want to and if Bernie don’t mind, or don’t wanna see me today.[/b]”

He’d smile at her as he looked decent, almost as if he was just from a martial arts class, well more advanced classes at least.

“Oh yea, also have to finish the home Dojo soon.. as well.. so if you wanna hang there.. its almost complete, I know floors are done, my blades are hung up .. bags.. and practice dummies .. and shudo are in place.[/b]”
