Reincarnated Into A Dead Woman's Body In Another World

"Planning on eavesdropping all night?" a certain blonde uttered with a constant half-lidded gaze and low sultry voice, both spawned from the drinks she’s had.

Hotaru’s cheeks puffed as she nearly choked on her drink. She gulped it down and puffed out a relieved breath. With her eyes shut, she spoke calm and poised, "Unhealthy habit, I know. Is your friend gone?"

Jotou leaned her hip against the table the redhead sat at and crossed her arms, "Well, he’s done for the night; we’re both tired from travelling."

"Off to bed then?"

The blonde leaned further till her feet were off the floor and she sat on the edge of the table. She looked down at the wolf-girl and nudged herself closer, "I was gonna go for a walk actually. Care to join me Ms Kinoshita?"

Hotaru’s eyes had to open to gaze up Jotou’s figure till their eyes met, "It’s past midnight," she said in a little hush.

"So?" Jotou tipped her head to the side to glance at the tavern still making merry with booze, music and roughhousing. Her head fell back to face Hotaru, "I think you’ve proved you’re not the stealthiest, but I think we’ll be fine if anything happens."

"Insult me more why don’t you, I’m sure I’ll be convinced," Hotaru’s ears flickered as she propped her face up in her palm.

Jotou smiled, "Of all the things that would get to you, that’s where you’d be offended? I know my girlfriend’s a lot tougher than that~"

She dug her fangs into her bottom lip and avoided eye contact, "You’re not making it any easier."

"I think if you wanted easy you wouldn’t’ve played so hard to get in our early days," Jotou said no more and unfurled each finger to offer her hand to the other.

Hotaru leered at the hand being offered and sat still for a moment. She then begrudgingly placed her palm into Jotou’s hands, to which Jotou’s fingers curled and caught. "Will we always be playing games?" she asked rhetorically.
