[im crying naru i forgot i already made this catchall and was looking for new images
anyway. how's giyuu doing? flayn would ask, except, now they've made eye contact and it's time to be accosted by a memory!
he's viewing said memory as if he's running through a hallway. the details of his surroundings are blurry - this memory is from a long time ago, and even now, she can't quite recall it clearly. but the long, green-haired woman up ahead is much more in focus.
flayn's voice comes out when he feels himself speak.
the woman looks startled, then concerned. "What's wrong?!"
a pause, and giyuu's point of view shifts to the side before he tugs down on a piece of fabric that's been pulled up and over his chin. something almost scale-like brushes against his fingertips, and the green-haired woman's eyes light up with excitement.
"Is this your first transformation? Does your father know??"
"No! Don't tell him! It's so embarrassing!"
there's a brief flash of flayn's face, reflected in a mirror that was standing somewhere behind the woman, as she tries to pull away from the woman's hands - scales have formed along her neck, creeping up her face, and her teeth are sharper than they ought to be.
a moment later, the memory ends, and flayn's frozen up. oops.]
that entire experience was something completely and utterly beyond his understanding. is she a demon? she does bleed green(?)and her hair isn't a natural color but neither is mitsuri so maybe it's a food she liked. (sometimes i intensely hate kny) the demons he is familiar with still bleed red like him as well.
fortunately he has had a near 24 hours to sleep off the insanity of another memory he encountered before he finally found sleep.
not that it helps him here but. he.....just stares at flayn wondering what he should say. what he wants to say is to ask her if she can do that here or not. it's not right? she can't transform into.........whatever scaly thing she was turning into.
his name is giyuu tomioka and he has no brain cells left to lose. ]
[ for some reason he feels compelled to reach out with his left hand to grab a hold of flayn just before she leaves. which will, oh so lovingly, trigger a memory for her to enjoy. and despite of the coldness and apathy that giyuu is expressing to the group, there's pang of guilt and lack of self-worth that just barely shows itself under a forced apathy.
it's not a bad memory and it's nothing compared to what he saw with flayn but it does/should give her some insight into what lies underneath his stoicism. ]
[he's able to catch her by the wrist - but before she can protest anything, there's the memories.
...and it's mitsuri! mitsuri!! flayn recognizes her voice, even if giyuu isn't looking in her direction. (that's not the point here, flayn. mitsuri didn't even talk as much as some of the others.)
anyway, when the memory fades out and they find themselves back in camp, flayn is, at least, not struggling to leave, but it's probably because she's processing that.]
so he has her by the arm and now what? what is the next thing that he wants to do? he, well, the first thing he's going to do is release her arm slowly so that she doesn't feel like he's holding her here.
the next thing is to say something so he. will just...say something. ]
he's a demon slayer? naru how the FUCK am i supposed to get her killed if even the demon slayers won't kill her for nonhuman crimes!! --is what i was going to write here but then work got busy and i couldn't tag back until after death announcement CRIES ABOUT GIYUU]

[AH. what if she just tries to walk fastly away from this? that's an option, isn't it? she's done it before (to someone else), she'll do it again.
so.]
Excuse me, Giyuu. I have just remembered I have somewhere to be.
[she just GOT HERE.
but she's also still in proximity to him, so like, her hasty retreat could be stopped in its tracks by one of his memories!]
no subject
Wait.

no subject

giyuu may only have a single arm but he can still run and has Time. ]
no subject
[stop looking at her.................
she's just going to very slowly back away in the hope that if she doesn't move too fast he won't notice until she's gone]
no subject
he's going to notice.
and he's still waiting for her to explain herself. ]
no subject
(and closing her eyes so she doesn't h ave to see him staring at her)]
no subject
and he'll keep moving towards her even if she isn't looking at him. come on!!! ]

Flayn.
no subject
Pardon me, Giyuu, I have just remembered there is somewhere I need to be..!
no subject
Are you ashamed of what you showed me?
[ well, not like it was intentional, but come on. ]
no subject
[...it is a little embarrassing that he saw her get freaked out by them in her memory and is seeing her freak out now, but.]
—but no one is meant to know about them. I beg you, put it out of your mind.
no subject
is that's what she's worried about? ]
I won't tell anyone about them.
[ he's not that inconsiderate!! (anymore) ]
no subject
[but he's a
demon slayer??? she looks baffled.]
no subject
but he'll nod once. bluntly: ]
Really.

no subject
Is that strange?
[ but honestly, she doesn't raise any "demon" flags but a lot of "inhuman" flags so he has...questions. multiple questions. ]
no subject
