You can lead a snake to water (Shizu and Yets, R)

[Shizuyoko Toraumi]

Shizuyoko blinked abit at that, but simply nodded along as it seemed Yetsuna had her own ideas about how these things worked. All in all, it seemed that the woman had her mind made up about it. She knew the symptoms. No asurance of consideration, no pause to contemplate what had been said to her. she simply formed her rebuttal. And She did take a moment to think it over, looking out the window. She did hear Yetsuna's murmured apologies, and recognized the look she had.

How unsightly.

Shizuyoko looked outside for a moment and could not help but feel an uncertainty. And a fear. Yetsuna was the only shinigami that had never dissappointed her. She had to have faith, yes? But her zanpaku'to simply bled it's own dissappointment, and she knew that it was pointless to reply. She had hoped that Yetsuna was above all of this. She had been calm. Careless. Without the fixations that so many shinigami suffered from. So very much like Raion. but she too....it seemed. Was falling for it. And Shizu could not help but feel, that just like Raion. Just like herself. Yetsuna too would be destroyed by this insipid 'love'.

And what could she say? She had already made her core argument. And the simple of it was that Yetsuna simply was out to explore her feelings. And that was a curiosity that shizuyoko couldn't just talk her out of. No matter the experience, she was still just a child. And with a woman of Shizuyoko's age. The difference was felt heavily. She closed her eyes and took a slow, deep breath, sighing for a moment and then chuckling just a little. A soft and somber laugh.

"I certainly hope you get what you're looking for. And I hope it doesn't destroy you." She noted and then stood up, rubbing her temple. She paused and eyed Yetsuna for a moment. Considering the woman's earlier offer. but honestly she wasn't sure she was really in the mood to go soaking in too-hot water as it were. "It was lovely to catch up and refamiliarize myself with you, Yetsuna. And certainly, if you ever want. You can have your chance to even our score. But for now. I think I'm going to turn in for the night."

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

"Awwww, c'mon Shizu, don't leave like this" Yetsuna protested as she tried to leave. Part of the reason was that the she didn't wanna have her leaving on such a sour note, the other was that she wanted to know what was going on with the blonde. It wasn't hard to tell that some serious shit went down at some point in her ridiculously long life, but to have this kinda reaction to her just saying she wanted to go on a date seemed a bit extreme. If she had come in saying she was trying to say she was getting hitched it might have made a bit more sense based on stories she had heard, but dating? come on.

"Why does this idea bother you so much? Why are you saying things like you hope it doesn't destroy me? What happened that made you so against this?" she asked almost pleading to her friend. While Yetsuna wasn't exactly the type to let someone's disapproval of her doing something stop her, it did kind of hurt when they didn't agree with what she was doing, especially with something so harmless. It's that fundamental feeling of just wanting some vindication when you go do something, even if you know it's not wrong and/or its harmless its still just nice to have that support behind you going "yeah you're good".

She also knew her questions were likely gonna pick at an old wound, and she felt a bit bad about it, but she felt this was something worth diving into, and not just for her. The redhead knew Shizu wasn't exactly the best example to look at when it came to the human (shinigami?) condition, and likely not through her own fault. She had lived an insanely long life and had the misfortune of remember most, if not all of it, at least from what she could tell, and that kind of experience would likely cause anyones humanity to degrade. 

She wanted to try to pull her back more to the human side of life and a more optimistic one as well. Try to give her a brighter outlook on life and its experiences.

Shizu blinked, a bit surprised when Yetsuna seemed to think that there was some deeper concern at heart. "I.....what?" She murmured, visibly confused as the woman made it clear that perhaps she had not been the most clear in her words. "I just mean that I don't think it's a good idea. But certainly I can't stop you. I'm not upset or anything." She clarified as Yetsuna seemed to be very attached to the subject.

Shizu sighed a bit and furrowed her brows, realizing that Yetsuna probably was just wanting to hang out with her. And she was sortof skipping out on the whole hot springs thing. "If you really want to ......hang out. Then I suppose that's alright. But I really should get some sleep soon." She smiled sheepishly, sighing a bit as she caved in to Yetsuna's strange fixation. Or well, humans in general fixating on these sorts of social rituals. But she supposed if it made Yetsuna feel better she didn't mind it. Or at the very least dispelling her apparent impression that Shizuyoko cared about her personal life.

Well....about her dating. Shizu's tails did coil in on themselves at the very idea, she wasn't going to lie and say she was pleased, but it was hardly her business to begin with, so she really felt disinclined to really put out any harsh words about it. Or really do anything but disengage from the subject. She frowned and sighed, looking over Yetsuna for a moment and taking a moment to crituque the woman's new look internally. "Really Yets. I'm fine, I promise."
