1. Momoshiro

    Private Tindercreek and Tillvale

    For a little while, Momo simply looked at the girl, his warm smile remaining exactly where it had been. There was nothing threatening in his expression, nothing that demanded an answer. Just a quiet patience that he hoped might give her something to hold on to. Eventually, his gaze shifted...

    Private Tindercreek and Tillvale

    Momo's expression softened at the girl's request, though the answer left him with considerably more questions than it had answered. People had come to the village. They wouldn't let anyone leave. They didn't want the crownsfolk called. And now she was asking him for help. His gaze lingered on...

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo stared at Osytha for a moment, his expression caught somewhere between admiration and disbelief. He had expected a few embellishments to the story. He had not expected an entire criminal dynasty, a pearmain poacher, and quite so many apple-related crimes against language. “Abridge it?” he...

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo considered the proposal with an appropriately thoughtful expression, his ears tilting mindfully as the orderly rows of apple trees came into view beyond the last of the alders. The idea of a treasure hunt seemed, at first, entirely unnecessary. They could simply take a few apples, leave...

    Open Surely we'll sing of no little thing

    Momo's ears twitched at Walter's question, his gaze dropping briefly to the cup in his hand as he considered it. “Not... quite.” A small sheepish smile tugged at his mouth. “In Sonshan, names are usually a little more complicated than that. There are given names, family names, titles, clan...

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo's grin only grew as Osytha explained the finer points of scrumping. “So there are rules,” he mused, giving her hand a gentle swing between them. His fingers idly toyed with hers as they walked, turning her hand gently within his. His thumb traced along her knuckles while his fingers...
  7. Momoshiro

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    Momoshiro watched him for a moment, the faint smile still resting on his face. There was something almost amusing about it. Rois had spent all this time worrying about what Momo might think of him, only to discover that the fox had no intention of judging him at all. Now, having finally said...

    Private Tindercreek and Tillvale

    Momo's ears tilted at Genevieve's explanation, though his attention remained fixed on the girl. Vaporizing anything undead until the lord returned. That explained the caution, at least. It did little to explain the child. Then the girl spoke. Momo went very still. They wouldn't let us leave...

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    Momoshiro remained quiet as Rois spoke. He didn't interrupt when the words became tangled, nor when the red-head's voice faltered around the things he clearly found hardest to say. He simply listened, his expression gradually softening as the pieces began to fit together. Two girls. A creature...
  10. Momoshiro

    Private Tindercreek and Tillvale

    The month that followed had passed more quietly than Momoshiro might have expected. Arpa had settled into its new rhythm, and he had settled into it with the town. There were patrols to join, stretches of countryside to search, spirits to deal with when they wandered too close to the wards, and...
  11. Momoshiro

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo’s grin widened at that, his eyes narrowing with the particular amusement of someone who had just realized he was being encouraged rather than warned. Osytha’s mock seriousness did little to hide the mischief beneath it, and he found himself rather helpless against it. Especially when she...
  12. Momoshiro

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    For perhaps the first time since their conversation had begun, Momo looked genuinely caught off guard. His ears rose slowly, and he stared at Rois in complete silence for several seconds. The question seemed to hang between them in all its blunt, bewildering sincerity, followed immediately by...

    Open Surely we'll sing of no little thing

    Momo's ears tipped forward at Aelius's answer, his attention lingering on the paladin for a moment longer than before. The word blessing had been delivered with such certainty that Momo found himself wondering about it, though he could see something in Aelius's expression that suggested the...
  14. Momoshiro

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    Momo blinked at the answer to his joke, his ears giving the slightest twitch. For a moment, he simply stared at Rois, seemingly unsure whether the man had actually just responded to him with complete sincerity. Then a quiet breath escaped him through his nose, and the corners of his mouth lifted...
  15. Momoshiro

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo’s ears perked at her answer, and for a moment he simply looked at her. There was something about the way she said all thine that made the tips of his ears warm, though thankfully the distraction of her admission gave him something else to focus on. His eyes followed hers across the pasture...
  16. Momoshiro

    Private Home Away From Home

    Momo’s ears twitched at the small gasp, though he made no comment on it. If anything, the faint curve of his mouth suggested he had noticed and simply chose to let her keep her dignity. His tail remained comfortably curled around her waist as they continued, the soft weight of it settling almost...
  17. Momoshiro

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    Momo remained quiet for a while after Rois finished speaking. His gaze lowered, following the subtle movement of his fingers against his sleeve. There was no easy answer sitting on the tip of his tongue, and for once, he didn't seem particularly interested in pretending that there was. “I...

    Open Surely we'll sing of no little thing

    Momo listened with quiet interest as Aelius explained the nature of his power, his crimson eyes settling upon the paladin with the same patient attention he seemed to give most things. There was no skepticism in his expression, though his ears tilted slightly at the distinction between power...
  19. Momoshiro

    Private Your fangs, and mine

    Momo remained quiet for a long moment. Behind him, his tail swayed slowly. The admission settled differently than everything that had come before it. There was no bravado in Rois now, no attempt to provoke or posture. Just a blunt explanation of something terrible that had become so familiar to...

    Open Surely we'll sing of no little thing

    Momo listened without interrupting, his hands still loosely wrapped around the little cup of tea. There was something pleasantly easy about Aelius's manner. The paladin seemed incapable of making a room feel cold, even when he was speaking about things as strange as spirits and gods. His warmth...
