Instead she darted to the woman and immediately wanted to leave the scene with her.
However, the other left on her own, faster than she could say anything to her, so she decided to follow her.
The fox-spirit was very happy that the other hadn't run away, rather they had talked, and Yu grinned a bit, using her hand to cover her mouth shyly.
She chuckled in an attempt, to soften her grin, but it was not working.
The moment this vibrant glance found her own, she grinned again, while she examined the other's eyes, she saw the hint of red in one of her eyes and her heart sputtered a bit.
'She is so beautiful, and she also has fangs. Is she a dragon? What is this bloodstain in her eye?', she ruminated in her mind, and also tried to figure out how to continue the conversation. The vibe of seeming ancient and powerful, was what had her presuming that the other was a dragon. Lei did not possess the downturned dragon eyes. Her outer corners were only slightly elevated, but they were definitely more open and the middle part a bit rounder. Her pupils definitely larger.
Yu’s eyes were vixen shaped, perhaps mostly due to her being a fox-spirit, regardless the middle part of her eyes was also wider, which showcased more of her large irises.
"Would you like to join us? We would head to a Karaoke bar.", Yu's neck and ears blossomed to a colour reminiscent of a Sakura in bloom. The next question was whispered according to her hesitance. "If you don't want to hang out, with so many strangers.... I also know a great place for .... Ramen?", she lowered her eyes and her lashes fluttered like a scared butterfly.
She waited for the other's reply, when her phone buzzed, it reminded her, of her deviation of the plan, which she had made...
Still, her bandmates knew of her spontaneity, regardless she would have to inform them though.
The night breeze was cool, but not cold. After this hectic day it felt rather soothing on Yu’s skin. What made her loose her focus was the constantly buzzing phone on her thigh, which didn’t deserve to get her attention. Would they please get the hint?
The three of them were most likely already on their way to the Bar anyway, there was no point in disrupting this moment? Especially since, for once in a long time Yu felt like this was, what she was meant to do, without even a shred of queasiness in her mind.
Her breath hitched as the moment stretched and the light in the other’s golden eyes distracted her enough that she really didn’t know if the time that passed were seconds or minutes. Not that she usually hat an accurate sense of time, anyhow, but it seems worse now somehow, as if the other was a distortion zone.
Lei is a an over 10000 year old dragon and the child of someone of chinese ethnicity and someone of french ethnicity. However, as it was over 10000 years ago that her fathers met her french father is also black.
This makes her an ancient dragon with a hybrid appearance of western and eastern dragon legends.
Yu is a over 800 year old fox(Kitsune) witch that is also half Gumiho and has one Korean mother and a Japanese and trans father. Her father was an evil fox spirit, also known as Tamamo no Mae.
However as this seems already like enough, there is still more to it. Another fate from another life tying these women together.
This is a work of fiction and it plays on an alternative earth and with a different history. Additionally to it being set in a fantasy setting.
The magic is still hidden from humans.
In detail this means except for the magic, the AU loosely is based off on a reality, where most major wars did not happen.
However, I am not certain how much opportunity I will have to refer to it in detail, or incorporate it into the narrative smoothly.
This is why I would like to do it in this disclaimer.
Of course, as a good writer I should be able to weave it into the story, but this is a WIP and since my characters live in this setting, it is hard to really indicate the differences to this world, as they don't know about them.
This reality is their normal and as such this poses a lot of difficulty for me in respects of how to elaborate on it.
Thus, for now, it's better to do it in one way, than not at all.
I hope you enjoy this novel and the journey this will be for me and for you. Thank you.
