Ricard sat at his desk in a half drunken stupor, another long month of hunting beasts with hardly any rest. He was close to falling asleep in his chair when a knock at the door shook his senses. "Y-Yes... come in..." He slurred, propping himself up by pushing his hands against the desktop. A man dressed not dissimilar to him walked in bearing a letter with writing he was not familiar with. "Huntmaster Ricard, this letter... or scroll rather, arrived yesterday. I've taken the liberty of translating and transcribing it's contents for you. It's from the east, across the sea." The well spoken man would steo forward and place the scroll and translation aide by side on Ricard's desk. "Good work, now please... leave me alone, head's spinning." Ricard waved his hand at the man dismissively to which he merely nodded and left the drunken hunter alone. "From the east... where is that again?" He muttered as he unrolled the scroll and unfolded the transcript, beginning to read. At first he was going to dismiss it as nonsense until he read the concerning lines like "evil spirit" and "endangering innocent villagers". "Bloody hell, guess I'm going to..." Ricard rubbed his eyes and squinted at the translation. "Nippon..." Two months later Ricard found that the only thing worse than a hangover was sea sickness as he hitched a ride aboard a smuggling ship bound for Nippon. He was more than happy to escape the ocean and reach the shores of this foreign land on the dinghy the smugglers shoved him onto. "Fucking hell, this better be a big beast or I'm gonna be pissed." Ricard muttered as he stumbled out of the boat and onto the solid land of Nippon's beaches. "Okay, how do I find this shrine again?" He pondered, taking the folded transcript out which was now stained by the smell of the sea. Unfolding it, he looked for the instructions on how to find this shrine, something about foxes he remembered. @Blue Beetle

Riko sighs as she watches the near by town. She had sent a letter to one of the best monster hunters in the realm. The red haired women was hidden as she sees a boat. “Maybe..that’s him..” she says sfotly before changing into her human form. She looks at herself before shaking and making she looked as human as possible. She takes a deep breath before pulling her hood up over her head. Riko quickly walks out of the forest and down towards the port. She tilts her head and looks around for what she heard of the male. She heard of him though the village people. She had also heard he didnt like…non humans. So her. She looks and sees a lost man. Her eyes widen softly before moving closer “hello? Are you Ricard Willis?” Once he answered she smiles and lowers her hood. “I am Riko. I sent you the letter…about the shrine?” She says. She stood tall. She wore a simple outfit. It was a brown dress. Her hood hid most of her body. Her red hair fell to her mid back. She had some braided pieces of her hair. Her skin was fair and her eyes were a golden brown color. She smiles at him “have you decided to go and save the shrine? It is very very important…to..me and the people..” she smiles. She didnt really care about the people of the village. She wanted her shrine back. She was cut off from her relem without her shrine.

R; Ricard jumped at hearing someone's voice, how did someone find him so quickly. "Y-Yes! I'm Ricard Willis... who are you?" He asked, pleased at receiving an answer so quickly, and she was the one he was looking for too. "Oh thank God, I'm glad you were keeping an eye out for me Lady Riko, this whole land is new to me I'm afraid." As he spoke he started to take in Riko's appearance, she was rather beautiful considering she was the first woman of this land he'd seen. "Yes uh... the shrine, there's some type of spirit that has a hold over it I remember from your letter." He said, taking off and brushing the sea salt from his weathered tricorn hat. "Rest assured, that spirit won't have hold of it much longer once I take a gander at them. Er... can you lead the way? I'm more lost than a deaf bat." @Blue Beetle

She smiles and nods. “Oh course. Please follow me!” She smiles softly before turning and pulling her hood up. She was quick on her feet. Her feet were bare. They didn’t have shoes. Yet she was able to walk in the forest as if she was born there. She leads him always stopping to make sure that he was behind her. She hums as she walks “so. I hear you are the best hunter for these types of things..” she speaks softly as a river comes into the view. She jumps up and balances on a fallen tree. As they get closer to the shrine the forest turns dark. She whimpers softly. She stops and hides behind a tree and some bushes. She points at the shrine. “There..the ghost in there..is..tricky..don’t belive anything he has to say!” She smiles as she hides. Around the shrine there was many fox and kitsune statues. She looked at the shrine and bites her lip. “Also he hits hard..”

Ricard found it a bit odd how gracefully she moved through the forests despite nothing but life affirming flesh to support her feet. "Being the first at something usually makes people see you that way. But I do have a keen eye for spirits, so this job is definitely my type." As they approached the shrine and Riko began to whimper, the hunter thought for just a split second that she sounded like a fox, even the way she made for a hiding spot seemed.. odd. "I don't intend to speak with them either way." Ricard opened his coat and began to assemble his weapon from various parts he could smuggle across the sea. What he put together looked.. odd, like some type sickle with a mechanical joint at the handle that allowed the blade to fold back into a serrated saw type weapon. "What kind of spirit are we dealing with here, a poltergeist?" He asked, apparently he didn't know of oni and yokai, he had no idea what awaited him inside the shrine.

She looks at him and watches him. “Well…kinda? It is a oni.” She says softly as she watches him out together his weapon. “It is a very nasty thing. I don’t like it at all.” She says. She was a proud being but thsi oni was her bane. She hated it. She didn’t rember why she had this thing in her shine but here it was. She looks at him and says “You fought a oni before right? It is a vengeful ghost. It won’t be taken down so easy.” She didn’t know if he had faught this type of being. She didn’t even know if he had seen a being like herself. Riko looks at the shrine as a wail of pain comes from it. She covers her ears and growls lightly “thing is loud too.” The being that was there scared her. She couldn’t rember why it was there or what promise she broke. She was scared it would take her and she would lose her being and shrine. Her home. @dr.coomer4018

"Oni? I should have expected this in a new land, but a spirit is a spirit. They've outstayed their welcome." Ricard spoke as he noted that this was a vengeful spirit, taking a knifed and notching a special rune onto the handle of the sickle-saw. "Won't be loud for much longer..." He walked right towards the shrine with a confident stride, muttering something under his as he went inside, disappearing into the darkness. He treaded cautiously through the dark, there were candles and lanterns meant to light thos room but they've long since been put out. "Where are you..." He spoke in a hushed voice, waiting for the slightest movement to enter hia vision or sound to touch his ears. @Blue Beetle

She watches him and hums. She hid behind the tree and watches. Her eyes watching her shrine. The shrine was dark. There was candles that burned to the bottom. The walls were decorated with art and paintings of the fox sprite. Her red hair and her tails were wrapped around her. It showed her beginnings. Her turning from a fox to a women. In the bigger room there was the one that was covered in pillows and blankets. There in the middle there is the spirit. It turns and screams at the male. It charages at Ricard.

Seeing the different paintings, Ricard began to piece together what was really happening. "I'm being duped... what are you Riko?" He shook his head and decided to just deal with her afterwards. The hunter entered the larger room and faced down the spirit with his weapon in hand, he flicked it forward activating the sickle hook and dashing forward to meet the Oni. "Well aren't you chatty, come on then!" He taunted, slashing at their form with his hunter weapon. The rune he'd placed upon the handle would allow him to pull a spirit into it's corporeal form when struck. @Blue Beetle

The spirit lashes out and falls to the ground. He growls and looks at the hunter “LEAVE THIS PLACE! I AM HERE FOR THE FOX!” He growls before showing his weapon. Long claws. He lashes out and tries to attack and hit the male. He get one hit and jumps out of the way from the blade. Riko waits and was getting nervous. She thought about jumping into her fox form. She gulps softly and bites her lip. The spirit growls and yells “WHERE IS SHE! SHE BROKE HER WORD!” The oni was mean and angry. Riko growls before jumping and landing into the grass. A small fox with multiple tails was there. She jumps and runs into the shrine.

Ricard was knocked into the wall by the oni, landing on the floor on his knees. "Quiet! I'll deal with the fox myself, but I'm sending you where you belong first." He said, getting back up and running after the spirit again. As long as this thing was around, people would be in danger. There was no telling what Riko was capable of either, she managed to trick him after all. Ricard goes for another slash with his sickle, quickly switching into it's saw form to go for a nasty second slice. @Blue Beetle

Riko BOT 06/20/2023 23:26
Riko was up above and hidden watching what was going on. Her body pressed against the corner as she watches him. He would deal with her? The spirit growls as he it hit with the sickle and cries out. It was getting weaker. He lashes out but it fails to hit. He gets hot again before being too weak to fight again. He lays on the ground as he waits to be sent back. “The fox…” he growls. Riko wuickly leaves the shrine and waits for the male to come out. She wa back in her human form. She paces. Would he hurt her? Would he kill her? She wouldn’t go down without a fight

Ricard stands over the fallen oni, pulling out a piece of cloth marked with runes in charcoal. "Spirit who's body is long since withered away, forget your woes and return from whence you came." He spoke calmly, laying the cloth down on their head. Light would beam from different parts of the spirit as it's soul was forcibly being sent to afterlife, the hunter stayed until the process was complete. "Alright, that's it." Ricard turned to leave the shrine, relighting any candles and lanterns he could on the way out. When he spotted Riko outside he stopped, gripping his sickle tightly. "You used me, and now you're gonna try to kill me now that I've done your dirty work, right?" @Blue Beetle

She watches him and shakes her head “nononono! I promise I don’t do that!” She backed away alittle and looks at him. She gulps softly “I..I..I promise. I just needed help getting that oni out of my shrine! I couldn’t do it myself..” she says softly as she looks at him. “You don’t trust my kind or any non human. I had to hide..I needed help. I will make it up to you. What can I do? Anyrhing.” She says softly. Her eyes golden and wide. She didn’t want him to hurt her. She was froze as she looks at him and gulps. “Please don’t hurt me..” she says softly. She wasn’t confident in this moment.

Ricard didn't take too kindly being lied to, he began to walk down the steps towards her. "How many innocent people are dead because of you?" He asked, this was a question he always asked a sentient nonhuman, of course he usually skipped the question with vampires though. "I only went through with helping you so innocents wouldn't encounter that oni, I have no way of knowing if you're the same." He stopped at the bottom of the stairs, switching his weapon back into it's sickle form. @Blue Beetle

She steps back softly and gulps. “N-no one. I protect these poepl I promise..” she says softly as she trips. She whimpers and looks at him. “Please..I..I promise no one got hurt! I tried to deal with him before but I needed you! You are able to get rid of him..” she says softly. Her eyes showed her fox side. She shows him her form. She had her many tails and her ears. She looks at him and says “please..see I am not a monster!” She was getting mad now. She didn’t hurt anyone. She needed help. “What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me? Hurt me?” She growls at him as she looks at him from the ground.

I believe you, but please, tell me everything. I want to know what you really are." He requested, stepping closer and holding his hand out to help her up. @Blue Beetle

She looks at him and watches him. She takes his hand and stands. She shakes softly and says “I am Riko. The kitsune. I am a fox spirit..” she says softly as she crosses her arms and looks at him. “I don’t rember why that oni was there but he came about a week ago. I couldn’t go into my shrine. I was cut off. I tired to talk to him and see what was going on but..he just kept attacking me….I..I needed to have help..” She looks at him and her tail shakes side to side. She bites her lip “I can repay you. What is your price? I can give you money or a favor? I am a spirit..I can come and help you with your work..” she steps closer as her ears twitch

Ricard was hesitant to pull his hand away as she stood and looked right at him, this was the closest he'd ever been to a nonhuman and he wasn't even being torn to shreds. This land was strange indeed. When she stepped towards him his eyes widened and he stepped back, almost tripping and falling backwards. "No, this job isn't about being paid, it's about protecting people... I guess protecting nonhumans like you as well." He had only begun to notice it but, her ears and tail... they were kind of cute. What the hell was happening to him? @Blue Beetle

She tilts her head “but I thought you didn’t like nonhumans.” She steps closer and looks at him. “At least let me show you the land? I bet there are other needing help..I can help..” she says. Her multiple tails fluff behind her. She had strips on her face that marked her as a spirit. She takes his hand and smiles “at least stay here. It will be fake before you get back to the town. The forest you can get lost in.” She says. She wanted to repay him. She wanted to make sure he knew she was greatful. She pulls him slightly and smiles before letting go of his hand and walks slightly into her shrine. “Please?@

"There's been a change I suppose... you're the exception." He sighed, getting lost in her eyes as he didn't even notice when she took hold of his hand and began to guide him towards the shrine. When he finally snapped out of it he looked around as though he'd been teleported. "I... alright... I've been at sea for two months, I didn't think I'd have the energy to take down that oni. I need a break." He nodded, then following her up the steps back to the shrine. It did seem rather cozy in the room he found the spirit in. @Blue Beetle

RIko smiles and leads him into the shrine. She jumps into her fox form and starts to clean her shrine. Her tails were moving to dust. “If you want there is a bath house in the back. A full hot spring! Fully stocked with everything!” She says sfotly before she jumps down shakes her fur. She sits and tilts her head. “I will get a bed ready for you..” she says before changing back into her normal form. She grbas a few pillows and moves them to make a bed for Ricard. She hums lightly as she does this. Her tails wagging softly. She makes a nice bed and lays down blankets before moving and looking for her food storage. Her shrine was for all people traveling in the forest could use. The blankets, food, and hot spring. She sits on her pile of blankets and waits.

"A hot spring to bathe?" The idea of using a hot spring as a bath was unheard of where he was from, though some did use them to make natural saunas. "I'll... I want to know what that's like, I'm going to the bathhouse." He made his way back outside the shrine, heading for the bathhouse behind the shrine just as she said. He began to remove his coat, revealing he had on a thick leather vest lined with pouches over a grey button up long sleeve shirt. Upon entering the bathhouse Ricard was met with a most pleased feeling of warmth, why didn't his people think of something like this? He dropped his coat to the floor and started to remove other articles of clothing, eager to get into the warm waters of the hot spring.

She hums lightly as she takes her tails and starts to comb out her tails. She cleans herself up and changes into a sleep outfit. It was a simple short dress that was white with cherry blossoms on it. She curls up into her blankets and hums. She didn’t know what to think about this man. She wanted to know more about him. She thinks about what his world looked like. What his poeple were like? She bites her lip and decides to ask him once he was back. She hopped he liked the hot spring. It was hidden and private. She would lay in the hot water to help with her pains in her body she gets. @dr.coomer4018

A whole hour passed before Ricard returned, leaving off his coat, hat, and vest and carrying them back into the shrine. He stops seeing Riko in her new dress, taking a deep breath before going to set his things down by the bed she'd made up for him. He seemed much more limber and relaxed now. "That... that was the first time I've been able to really relax in ten years." He spoke, sighing in relief as he sat down on the bed, unbuttoning his shirt about halfway. "Thank you, that's what I mean to say." @Blue Beetle

Are there poeple like me?” She tilts her head as she leans foward and kicks her feet. Her eyes were golden and fox like. She smiles softly and looks over him. “You are not like the people here..I like that..”

Ricard listened to Riko's questions, leaning forward with his arms resting on his knees. "I come from Laboford, it's a small coastal land connected to a larger continent... it's almost always raining and overrun with beasts that prey on the innocent. The closest thing to you in Laboford would be a werewolf, but they can't control themselves like you. They'll go on a rampage at the first sniff of blood." He wondered what she meant by that he wasn't like other people here, how did other people treat her? "Well, you're also not like other beasts... I like that too." @Blue Beetle

She jumps up and moves closer to him. “You don’t even look like the people here…” she reaches out and lightly touches his arm. Her nails were long and claw like. She traces his arm and looks at him. “What beast have you fought?”

He didn't react in any hostile way as she jumped up and moved towards him, seems that hot spring did wonders for his body and mood. Her touch upon his arm still caused him to flinch slightly, she felt gentle, something he wasn't familiar with anymore. And yet, he lets her touch him still.

She tiles her head and says “what was the hardest fight?” She traces his arm. Her nails were sharp but she didn’t press down. She just lightly drew on his skin. Her tails moving back and forth in a calm and relaxed manner. Her ears on her head were listening to everything but mostly him. She was laying on her stomach toward him. Her feet crossed and up in the air. Her manner was soft and kind. She looks at him with her large orange eyes

"A doppelganger that took my form, I never realized how powerful I became drinking the blood... of beasts..." He looked down at Riko as he realized what he said, he just admitted he wasn't completely human himself. Yet somehow looking in those orange eyes of hers brought a comforting feeling, he didn't feel as stressed about sharing his story with her. And as much as he didn't want to outright admit it, he was really enjoying her touch and the way she showed restraint as to not harm him, a far cry from any beast he'd encountered before. Was it even right to call her a beast the way she was? @Blue Beetle

She tilts her head “you had to drink blood?” She was confused…she didn’t like the taste of blood. She smiles as him and says “I bet that was scary…” she hadn’t had to fight too many things. Her ears flickers and she looks at the entrance of her shrine. Her eyes slit as she shakes her head. “Sorry..people are coming..they..they have weapons..” her eyes were slits as she growls. She moves from him and turns into her fox form. “Please stay here.” She says before running off.

It would be trouble if an outsider was discovered by armed people, Ricard hated anytime he had to fight humans. Ricard stood up from the bed as he watched Riko run out of the room as a fox. Now it was his turn to hide, with no one around to look he leapt up unnaturally high and grabbed onto the rafter beams in the ceiling, climbing up and doing his best to conceal himself. He was unnarmed and unarmored without his coat, a dangerous situation indeed. @Blue Beetle

She growls and moves to find them. She found them as they stepped out and towards the shrine. She growls and turns to her true form. Her eye slits as she jumps. He would hear screaming and a gun shot. Riko moves back into the shrine hold her arm. She wasn’t shot but her arm was cut. She was bleeding. “Sir ricard?” Her tails were dragon behind them.

It didn't make sense, someon as good as her shouldn't have attracted the ire of this land's hunters... unless the roles had somehow switched, creatures like Riko preyed upon by humans.

She smiles at him and looks at her arm “it looks worse than it is…I think..” she says softly moving to sit back down and grabbing a water dish and rag. She dips it into the water before cleaning her arm. She had dealt with this before. At least she wasn’t shot

Ricard nodded and let out a deep sigh as she held his hand, he couldn't quite place what he was feeling but it was definitely pleasant. "Well, I'll stay for a little while, it will be some time before the ship that brought me here comes back." Those smugglers better make good on the deal he made, a round trip back to Laboford then to Nippon would take four months at least. Ricard had better get used to this land since he'll be here that long. @Blue Beetle

She smiles and moves closer “really? I can show you around then!!” She was super excited and happy. Her tails were flicking back and forth wuickly. She looks at him and then to the sky. “It is getting late. And you had a long day! I will leave you to sleep.” She moves away and transforms into her small fox form before moving to her pile of blankets and getting into them and under them. Her tails still able to be seen

Ricard sat there for a minute as she moved towards her sleeping spot. "I'm.. looking forward to it." He said with a little smile, getting up and heading to his own bed and lying down. He glanced over at her tails, holding back a chuckle at seeing them poke out from the blankets. He covered himself up in his blanket and began to let himself drift to sleep. Ricard was usually overcome by night terrors, but tonight he seemed to be rather calm, only occasionally muttering something in his sleep. @Blue Beetle

She curls up tight and falls into her sleep. She would sleep peacefulling. Her ears twitching at his mumbles. The sun soon come up and slowly shines its way into the strobe. Birds and other animals waking up as well. Riko yawns and stretches. She tilts her head and moves to sit next to the male. Her nose pokes his face before doing it again. She didn’t want to wake up but she knew he would want to see what she will show him

She leans into his hand before jumping up and moving. She sits by the door waiting for him. Once he was ready she moves and leads him out of the shrine. She moves though the forest and starts to climb a hill. Her tails moves together as one making her look like a normal fox. She stops at the top of the hill and looks around. The view was over a grove of fruit trees. From bananas, to apples. As well as ground fruit such as strawberries and blueberries. She looks at him and smiles “this is where i eat! It is all without human touch!’ She runs down the hill and jumps into a tree grabbing a orange fruit and starts to tear in to it and eats it. Her tails swishes with happiness

Ricard slipped on but left his coat unbuttoned, leaving his hat behind as well as they left the shrine. This was probably the most relaxed the hunter had ever been, it was strange but so nice. When they reached the grove he was rather shocked at what he saw, all this food just growing here. Was she tending to then herself? "You can hardly grow anything in Laboford... the sun barely shines so rain doesn't dry fast enough to make the soil feasible for farming." He said as he picked a single blueberry and gently set it in his mouth, biting down and enjoying the flavor. "Most fruit is brought from up north, and by then it loses its freshness... this tastes better than I ever hoped it would." @Blue Beetle

She giggles and looks at the grove “they are very good. I wish I could send some with you. Maybe for the boat ride? The won’t last to when you get back to your home.” She jumps down and finds some strawberries. She transforms back into her half and half form. Her tails flowing behind her. “Where do you want to see? The coast? Or the mountain? There are two villages near us.”

"Maybe you could send some with me, it'd remind me of you and this place when I'm gone." He said, picking a few more berries and wrapping them in a clean piece of cloth he had taken out of his coat. "A mountain, I've seen enough ocean in the past couple of months... and I think I should stay away from the villages, I was warned by the smugglers that Nipponese people don't like outlanders." @Blue Beetle

She nods and looks at him. “Ok! Ready for a hike? There is a look out up there that is very nice..” she says before eating some more and turning back into her fox state. She moves to him and rubs herself against him kinda like a cat. Once he was ready she would lead him to the trail and up it. The hike was easy just a few times it was difficult. She was able to jump from edge to edge and climb easily but she never left him behind. The trail was clear and the sides were covered with trees and bushes. She turns to a look out that was a Clift. She sits and looks at him. “See..you can see everything..”

Ricard laughed a bit as she rubbed up against his leg, she really seemed in her own world out here. He followed along up the trail into the mountains, climbing with surprising ease and even jumping a bit higher than a normal human should be able to. "Laboford's only got one path to the north through a mountain ridge, trying to take any other way that isn't the path is bound to have you attacked by harpies or other mountain dwelling creatures." He explained on the climb up to the cliff, taking a deep breath once he caught up with her. "My god... this land is beautiful, I've never seen pink leaves on trees before." He pointed down into the valley where a small forest filled with cherry blossoms was, he was lucky to have witnessed them this time of year when they blossomed. @Blue Beetle

Riko BOT 06/25/2023 23:08
She smiles and transforms before padding the ground next to her. “You are lucky..those only bloom once a year..” she says softly pulling her knee up to her chest. She curls her tails around herself. “Tell me something..” “Are you full human? Or a half breed?”

He walks over and sits next to her, taking his coat off and rolling up his sleeves to bathe in the morning sunlight. He frowns slightly as she asks him what he is, it was bound to be found out eventually. "I'm half turned into a vampire, I should be dead but I've developed a special strain of vampirism known as sanguine animism. I do not hunger for blood, but I can consume blood to heal my wounds and even partly absorb the energy of those I feed on." He opened his mouth and bared his teeth, his canines were almost long and sharp enough to be called fangs, they even had little slits on the tip that were surely for drinking the crimson fluid. "I still want to think I'm human... not one of those murderous things that abandon their humanity for power." @Blue Beetle

She looks at him and moves closer. “You can jump higher and everything…” she says softly as she looks out at the world “I don’t think you are a monster. You are nice and kind. You fight to protect those who can’t. That isn’t a monster.” She says softly as she holds her knees to her chest. She was the monster. She hadn’t already been kind. She had lied and tricked people. She was a true monster hidden in plain sight. Her eyes turn sad as she looks away from him. She still remember that day..the day she became what she is..it was painful. It was bad. And she was a monster. She had ran into town eating and getting whatever she could. Using her strength to hurt animals and people…not many town people remember that because it was so long ago..but the stories still are there…

Ricard knew not of these stories, but he could tell there was guilt in Riko's heart by the way she moved. He felt a pain in his own heart seeing her like this, but why? What were these things he was feeling? He scooted closer to her and placed a hand at the back of her shoulder, trying to summon up the right string of words he wanted to say. "I... forgive you." That was all he could manage to get out, becoming too nervous to actually speak his whole mind. @Blue Beetle

She looks at him and leans into him. Her ears flattening to her head “I am sorry I tricked you…I..I..I am a monster..” she says softly. Tears roll down her face. She would house and feed him but if he wanted to kill her..she would let him. She closes her eyes and rubs them tying to stop the crying. She was a monster. He was a monster killer. Why and he killed her?

Ricard put his other arm around her waist as she leaned into him. He's never tried to comfort someone before, so a hug was all he really knew how to do for her. "But I'm still here..." She was unlike any beast he'd ever met, one that felt remorse and guilt. He didn't want to let her be alone with this pain. @Blue Beetle

She hides her faces as she bites her lip. She pretty much hugs him. But this wasn’t close enough. She climbs into his lap dn hugs him. Her tails falling to the side and not moving. Her ears pinned to her head. “Why..why haven’t you killed me..I..I am a monster..” she cries softly into his shoulder. Her body shaking with each sob.

"Because..." He gently holds her head with his hand, trying to build up the strength to speak his heart. "You're no monster to me, and I can't bring myself to harm someone that..." He paused, choking up and holding her tight. "that I think I'm in love with..." Love was something absent in Ricard's life, ever since the day he lost the only ones he considered his family he became seperated from people. He couldn't care too much lest they be lost to a beast or vampire, or worse become a vampire themselves. This was the first time in over twenty years that he's felt something for someone, and it just so happened to be the fox spirit who's hair and eyes reminded him of the morning sun, much like this one. @Blue Beetle

Her eyes looking for his face for any kind of look that would sya that he was lieing…but he wasnt. She sits up and blushes “you…you might like me…not because i am magical or anything..” her hands move to his chest as she blushes. she giggles and hugs him. “You dont hate me…you dont want to kill me…i..” she starts to tear up as she holds him.

Ricard's face indeed told no lie, he did seem somewhat afraid though, afraid that the first one he opened up to like this may not reciprocate his feelings. That very fear just melted away as he heard the sound of laughter followed by a hug. He hugs her back, closing his eyes as he just enjoyed her embrace. "Riko, whatever you are.. I accept you." He spoke softly as they hugged each other. It may go against his vows as a hunter, but he wanted this more than anything right now. @Blue Beetle

She holds onto him and nuzzles into his neck. Her purrs coming out softly as she lays into his arms. “Whatever you are…I accept you.” She didnt care if he was human or a vampire. Or half. She just wanted him to be him. She warps her tails around the two and purr softly nuzzling into his neck. Her ears were soft and smooth against his skin. She didnt move. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. He liked her…or at least wanted to not kill her and have her around. She was happy…her life at the temple was lonely…and she hated it.

Ricard was surprised as he felt them both being surrounded by her tails, they had to have some sort of power, why else would they be so numerous. And seven seemed like such an odd number to have naturally anyway. But he couldn't exactly focus on any of that as he felt her gently nuzzling against his neck. He closes his eyes and gently gave her a rub behind the ears, dogs liked that so a fox might as well right? All this knowledge about monsters and yet so little about regular animals, of course Riko wasn't anything close to normal but she beared a striking resemblance in both her half and half form and animal form to the foxes of Laboford, only a little larger in stature. @Blue Beetle

She leans into his touches. Her face turns red as he rubs her behind her ears. She pants softly and leans into him. She whimpers and purrs. Her tails and ears were sensitive in a lot of ways. She curls her toes. “R-Ricard..” she breathes out. Riko had never been touched this way. Her body was warm and her breath seemed to hard to take in and push out. She whimpers as his fingers touch behind her ears. “I..I..I like that..” she whimpers out her body pushing against him. @dr.coomer4018

Ricard slowed down as she said his name, for a moment he thought he had done something wrong. But she said she liked it, not only that but he felt her body press against his, giving him a most warm, intimate feeling. He continued to rub her ears, a bit less gentle and more in a sensual fashion. "Just tell me if you want me to stop." He asked, trying to stay calm as his he felt his heart race whilst hearing the sounds she made because of him. @Blue Beetle

She shakes her head softly not wanting him to stop. She bites her lip as she closes her eyes. She didn’t know being touched could feel good… she purrs softly as he rubs. She was trying to hold on her sounds as to not make him uncomfortable but some did slip out. She whimpers and melts in his arms. Her hips moving and pushing against him

The sounds she made were oddly exciting to him, it felt good to her and he wanted to do even more to make her feel this way. @Blue Beetle

She whimpers and nods. “Y-yes..” she says softly. She was panting as her whole body felt like she was on fire. She whimpers and pants. Her eyes were half lidded and she seemed to be out of it. Her body moving against him. Her noises are soft. Her whimpers and very light moans. She blushes as she kinda snaps to and gasps “I-I am sorry!” She says as she pulls away and covers her face. She was embarrassed. God what is wrong with her. She doesn’t move away from his hand on her tail as she struggles to keep her moans in. It felt good

He stopped as she pulled away, just resting his hand on her tail and listening to her. "It's okay, I... liked it too." He covered his face with his hand as he said that, a bit embarrassed by admitting he liked hearing her moans. He shifted his legs around, seeming uncomfortable or trying to hide something on his pants. He tried to think of something else, but who was he kidding? He was too flustered to think of anything else but her, all it would take is one look at his face to tell that much. "Should I... should I stop?" @Blue Beetle

She looks at him and shakes her head “no..dont…i…” she blushes as he moves his legs. “Should…i..get off your lap? Are…are you uncomfortable?” She says softly. She didnt want to move but she would if he was uncomfortable or anything. She blushes as she lowers her hands from her face. She looks at the sun and shivers softly as a breeze pushes past them. She leans into him and shivers. “Are you sure you are ok with this? I..i dont want to make you uncomfortable..” she says as she nuzzles into him and wants him to pet her ears and rub them. She liked how his hands felt. She wanted more of it…

"I'm quite fine.. I've just never done this before." He smiled nervously, just slowly stroking her tail with his hand as he still wanted to give her something good to feel. He stopped his tail touching though when he noticed her shivering, pressing into him for warmth, he put both his arms around her in a gentle embrace. "I'm fine, really.. what about you? Should we go someplace a little warmer?" He asked, running a hand up her back and gently rubbing her behind the ears now that she was close again. He tried not to be too intense this time, just so she could hopefully answer him coherently. @Blue Beetle

She hums and leans into his hand. She sighs as she moves her hips softly. “I…we can..go..back to the shrine..” she says softly as she whimpers. Her eyes were closing as she was losing herself even with the soft touches. She would rest her head into his shoulder and hums “I…let’s go to back to the shrine?” She says softly before moving off his lap and standing. She shivers as another breeze hits them. She takes his hand and leads him down to the shrine. She carefull steps over branches and everything. The shrine comes into view and she leads him back in and into the blankets. She pushes him and sits in his lap

Ricard managed to keep up with ease as he didn't limit his own abilities around her anymore. It was an odd, he felt didn't have to hide anything from her. This was... liberating. When inside the shrine and pushed down onto the blankets, Ricard heart races as Riko moves on top of him into his lap. "Well.. you're eager it seems, I'm not complaining though..." He said with a small chuckle as he reached out with both hands, knowing exactly what she wanted, touching and rubbing around her ears lovingly. @Blue Beetle

He screamed at himself inside as he did all of this, he'd already confessed his feelings, why was this so hard to do? It didn't matter now though, he couldn't take all of the cute sounds she was making and so he finally broke and kissed her. @Blue Beetle

Her eyes were dilated and wide. She had a blush on her face. She leans into and kisses him again. Her hand push him down so he is laying down and she kisses him.

His pants came undone rather easily, just a leather belt and a few buttons holding his trousers up. "I uh... I've never done this before." He felt a bit ashamed to admit it but it was true, Ricard had remained celibate all these years, never having developed feelings for another like he did for Riko. @Blue Beetle

She whimpers and moans as her own body was warming up. She wanted him. She pulls off him and takes some deep breathes before sitting up and untieing her outfit. Her eyes were dilated large as her slip dress falls off her. She had large breast but not too large. Her body had small marks as the same on her face. She was thin but not too thin.

He was stunned seeing her naked form, he struggled to form the right words to express how he truly felt. He sat up and and looked her in the eyes, taking a deep breath before speaking. "When I was crossing the ocean to this land I would sometimes find myself restless at night, so I would go to the top deck and look out on the ocean and night sky. The night sky on the ocean... so many shapes and colors made up the cosmos, I believed I had seen the most beautiful thing this world could offer. I was wrong, the epitome of beauty lies before me now." Ricard was blushing madly by the time he finished speaking, he could hardly contain himself as he poured his heart out to her. He pulled off his shirt which was already undone, revealing his slim, athletically body. His chest and shoulders had various bite and claw scars but a few stood out in particular, several pairs of small holes around his neck and upper chest. Vampires had their luck with him, but they quickly found he wasn't easy to subdue with their paralyzing bites. @Blue Beetle

He shivers and reachs out, resting his hands at her shoulders while she delivered each wonderful kiss. He sees her eyes and can sense just how much of an effect he's had on her already, he embraces her kiss as she reaches down towards his member, moving one of his hand over her breast and massaging and squeezing it, even pinching at her nipple a little. @Blue Beetle

He tenses up feeling her take his length, the conjoining of their sexes is so intense that Ricard can only hold her close as he releases his hand from her bosom and puts that arm around her backside. In doing this he unintentionally pushes her to take his shaft all the way to the base, drawing out a short and sharp moan from the hunter. How unbecoming, the professional beast hunter of Laboford, charmed to an emotional mess by a fox spirit. Perhaps the land itself was a good change from the normally gloomy atmosphere of his homeland. @Blue Beetle

She coudlnt move. She whimpers as any small movement. Her ears were pinned to her head and she didnt look at him. She hide her face. All that he could see was her cheek and her hair. Her tails were limp as they laid behind her. “I-i..i-i cant…” she tries to speak but her words fall to the side.

When he comes to, Ricard can hears Riko's whimpers and becomes frightened. Bloody hell, what have I done? I hurt her, I didn't mean to harm her, she doesn't... His thoughts calm as he feels her guiding his hands to her hips, he understood what she was saying even if it was but a single word. "Alright, I'll lead." He gives her a soft kiss at the forehead, giving a reassuring smile to those beautiful orange eyes of hers. He takes a more gentle approach now, starting to move his hips and using his hands to move her up and down slowly on his cock. Love making was something perhaps the both of them had yet to gain any experience in, but who better to practice with than someone you're absolutely infatuated with? @Blue Beetle

She rolls her eyes as she whimpers. “Oh..oh god..” she moans as he starts to move in and out of her. Her breathing hitches and her tails start to wag. She wanted him to touch her tails. She looks at him as he looks at her. “Touch..touch my tails?” She asks softly. Her eyes were large and dilated. Her tails moves close them. Her nails were slightly digging into him. She leans in and kisses his neck before moving up to his ears. “Take me..take me as you want.” She whispers to him

His movements become more fluid as they go on, spurred on further by the kisses leading up to a sweet whisper in his ear. He pushes forward and gets up on his knees, holding her up with one arm around her waist using his enhanced strength and gently bouncing her on his rod. One of her tails is grabbed up by his free hand, squeezing and stroking with his fingers in the fur before moving on and giving attention to another of her tails. His breath is shaky as he does all this, trying to limit himself and not go too crazy for her sake. @Blue Beetle

She moans and whimpers. His hand on her tails…him holding her. She looks at him and moans “f-fuck..” she leans forward and kisses him. She meets his thrust. She gently claws his back as she holds on. “Fuck..oh gods…please…f-faster..” she moans as she arches her back. Her tails wrap around his hand and arm. She whimpers. “It..feels so good..” she moans as she looks at him and kisses his neck. Her teeth nip on his skin

Ricard flinches slightly feeling her nails dig into his back, but this pain wasn't near as bad as any he's felt before, her kiss is a sweet distraction from the sting. The pain somehow motivates him to go faster, he grunts slightly as he rocks his hips back and forth harder, thruster faster and deeper into her. He can hardly move his hand as it gets wrapped up in her tails, squeezing down on the one in his palm as he feels a nip at his neck. "Ahh.. that.. that's new..." He says with an out of breath chuckle, the feeling of her bite was probably the most stimulating thing he's ever felt before. @Blue Beetle

She blushes and moans. She started to match his thrust with her body. Her eyes met his. “I..i..am..close..” she moans. She digs her nails into his back as she tense her body. Her finishes was right there. After a few more thrust she finishes and cums. She pants softly and whimpers. She wanted him. She wanted him to finsih. She looks at him and whispers “go…as..hard and fast as you want..” She didnt want him to hold back. “Dont…fuck dont hold back.”

A whole rush of sensations floods into Ricard'a brain as Riko's nails break skin and leave small whelts that bled slightly, all this as she came too, he felt he wasn't far behind. The sounds of their passion rang throughout the shrine, Ricard couldn't even hold back his own moans now as he slammed his hips forward one last time before blowing his load. He tensed up hard as he held her close to him, resting his head on her shoulder and softly kissing her neck, all while his member filled her deepest parts with his hot, thick seed. "By the gods... hah... oh my... haaa..." He muttered in exasperation, this fox woman had taken his heart, and now his virginity. @Blue Beetle

She walks into the water. Her eyes watching her. Once he is in the water she moves to his back. “I-i am sorry..y-your back..” She kisses the marks softly. She leans into him and shivers as her tails wag sfotly

Ricard had never been one to tire easily, but he put everything he had into what he and Riko just did. He nods happily as he stands up with her and goes to the hot springs. There he lowers himself into the steamy waters, wincing as the whelts on his back are wetted. He tries to stop her from worrying about his back, but her kisses bring a wonderful comfort he just can't deny. So he reaches back and holds a hend gently to her cheek, the sound of her tails wagging around in the water is somewhat amusing and distracts him further from the pain. "It's alright.. pain is but a temporary thing." He says in an exhausted yet happy sounding voice, his fingers gently stroke at her cheek. @Blue Beetle

She leans into his hand “but..I hurt you..” she looks at him with a worried voice. She didn’t want to hurt him. She holds her hands close to her scared to even touch him again. Her tails float on the water as her ears flatten. “I hurt you ricard…” she repeats. If he just left her now she wouldn’t have to hurt later. She winced as she knew he was going to hit her or yell at her. Once he came too he would be mad

He sighed as he heard her voice, she did hurt him but nowhere near as bad as others have. He turns to face her and places his hands over hers. "You did hurt me. I've been stabbed, clawed, beaten, even shot over the years by both man and beast, but what you did wasn't out of malice." He suddenly moves forward to hug her, whispering in her ear softly. "You've merely left your mark on me, trying to make me yours, right?" @Blue Beetle

She knew that was coming. She braces herself but is instead pulled into a hug. She melts at his touch. She blushes as he speaks. The fox doesn’t speak but he tails started to wag more and more. “Y-yes..” she finally said. She looks at him as they sat in the water. It helped clean everything and relax their muscles. She leans into him and yawns softly as they sit there. Her tails swishing back and forth

Ricard couldn't help but chuckle as Riko leans into him, he's never said something so suggestive before. He holds her close as they soak in the steaming waters, occasionally muttering sweet words into her ear like "beautiful" and even "cute little fox". Saying all these things took it's toll on the hunter, he was blushing like mad. He eventually stopped his mutterings and let the sounds of the hot spring fill the air. @Blue Beetle

Ricard smiles and shakes his head. "These men have been coming after you for a while, I'll put an end to their hunt so you won't be hurt again... I don't want to see you bleed again." In the back of his mind where that one bit of vampire laid dormant, he wondered what a kitsune's blood may grant him if he drank enough. He quickly pushed the awful thought away, Riko was a friend.. no, more than that now, if he felt the thirst for blood he'd just have to find an animal or other beast to kill and drink from. @Blue Beetle

Ricard was about to ask what was wrong when he saw her ears flicker, a sure sign of potential danger. "I'll face them head on this time, I have a plan." He says as he watches Riko transform and run off. Getting his coat and hat on and sickle-saw put together in a matter of seconds, he moved to the entrance of the shrine. Only his eyes and eyebrows could be seen as he stepped down the stairs. "Halt!" He calls out, whipping the saw into it's elongated sickle form, a loud mechanical snap following the motion of his arm. "What's your business at this shrine?" He demanded to know, trying to hide his outland accent by mimicking the few bits of Nippon dialect he heard when he first arrived here.

Ricard doesn't budge, instead he stepped forward with a small glass flask in hand. "There is no demon here, turn back or I will give you nightmares unending." Inside the flask was an airy substance with dark red hues, swirling about and pushing at the cork for freedom. What Ricard had just taken out was a potent fervor inducing perfume, extracted and processed from the spinal fluid of a Jabberwock, the same creature his sturdy leather coat was made from. One whiff could send the Hunter into a state of beast-like rage, he would retain control but any wound in this state would gush blood like a geyser. A combat enhancer and dangerous blood thinner.

Ricard hadn't expected Riko to join in the fight, but he doesn't let it distract him. He pulls the cork off the flask and inhales the red fumes through his nose. Before one of the men can strike him, his body moves on it's own to the left of their swing. His body then moves forward quickly, his sickle slicing right through one of the men at the waist. Their body splits apart in a mess of blood and gore, splattering the stone steps of the shrine. Before anyone can react, Ricard is already moving to his next target, throwing the top half of his first victim at them and following behind to strike at them should they avoid the tossed cadaver.

Ricard was alone fighting against the last of the men, hunter versus hunters. He caught a glimpse of Riko falling to the ground and that was enough to make him lose control. He grabbed one of the dead's weapons, a roughly made uchigatana, but to him it was just something he could use to cut. He appeared like a bloody demon before the remaining hunters, jumping around and slashing them all to bits, taking a few wounds himself that gushed with his own crimson fluids. He appeared like a red skinned oni before the last hunters, stepping forward with a brutal saw sickle and Nippon katana in both hands. "Run! Hunters are NOT welcome here!" He yelled, trying to force the humans to run so he could spare their pitiful lives.

Ricard holds the same menacing pose for a few more seconds to be sure the hunters were gone. He stumbled over to Riko and fell to his knees, he could feel his own blood loss catching up to him. Luckily with the blood loss the blood frenzy would weaken and he'd be able to focus, but of course he was physically weak as well. "Riko.. hold on, you'll be.. okay..." He says, first aid was something he became experienced in as a Hunter, with luck Riko's wound could be treated similarly. He put pressure on the wound with both hands, careful not to touch the knife lest it cut her more.

Ricard pushes down on the wound in an attempt to slow the bleeding, when this ultimately fails he has to resort to less practical means. Wendigos don't have much other than skin and bones on their starved bodies. What little blood they have is precious so they have evolved to have super coagulant properties. A simple bit of refining meant one could make a tonic that quickly thickens and slows blood flow. Ricard removed the dark red vial from his satchel, pulling off the needle that would typically be used to inject it into one's veins. Unfortunately he did not have the luxury of time to allow the tonic to take effect so he took to pouring it directly into Riko's wound on. The effects are immediate as the blood coming from her wound thickens and slows the bleeding much better than what Ricard was doing with his hands. He takes this opportunity to carefully remove the knife, pouring more of the liquid into the wound to try and counteract any additional bleeding. Weakness was beginning to take hold of him now, the knife felt heavy in his hand as it dropped it to the ground at his side, turning his full attention back to Riko's wound.

He took the knife out and she turned back to her hums form. She leans into him and holds him up. Her breathing was lightly harsh as she looked at him and holds him up from passing out or falling to the ground. The wound on her leg was bad but the blood was thick and helped a lot. “Are..are you ok..” she asks softly holding his face and looking at him. She didn’t want him to be hurt.. She nuzzles into his neck as she sighs. Her eyes close slightly. “Just..need a sleep..” she mumbles the blood loss getting to her

Ricard falls forward against Riko as she shifts and moves to hold him. "I'm cold..." He said softly, his vision was bleak but he could still see the fox woman before him, a comfort in this scary moment of life and death. The hunter tried to stay calm and confident during fights and high stress situations, but it was a mask, his mind was forever scarred with terror for the things he's seen and experienced. How he coped with such a life was unknown, but the drink was surely involved in some way. "I've never fought so many humans... they're gone now, just us." His arms wrapped around her loosely, her warmth was like life to him right now, life in her veins, blood that could heal him. He knew he could recover partly by feeding off the corpses of the fallen, but his brain was working at half speed due to blood loss. Instincts were threatening to take over. @Blue Beetle

Before he could protest taking her blood, Ricard's mouth was already against her wrist where a small cut was already dripping with crimson ichor. And so he partook of Riko's blood, gently sucking at her wrist for a bit, on the bright side his dull teeth caused no pain at all and the effects of the replenishing blood took hold quickly. His wounds seemed to close up right before the fox woman's very eyes. Ricard's eyes remained closed during the whole exchange, taking the blood of a living being would mean he'd inherit one of their traits if he consumed enough, but he wouldn't dare overindulge on her. @Blue Beetle

His nearly back to full strength, his wounds are just bloody stains under ripped up clothing. To say it was a close call wouldn't even be near accurate.

"Yes... just sleep." Ricard soothed her by speaking softly, gently placing his hand on her forehead. With the now sleeping Riko and his returned strength, Ricard was able to pick her up easily carry her back to the shrine. He laid her in the center of the bedroom chamber, going off to fetch a few washcloths and a bucket of water from the hotspring. Once he was back, he got to work. He stripped himself down to his undergarments and then Riko, neatly folding up and setting both their things to the side. He'd have to figure out how to wash her delicate clothing when she woke up, for now he just focused on cleaning up her body of any bloodstains. "What a life you must live Riko... but I'm here now, I won't let humanity's need for revenge destroy you..." He spoke as though she might hear him through her sleep, still focusing on cleaning... cleaning.....

Ricard stopped cleaning Riko once he was almost certain there was no more blood to wash away. He stood up and cleaned off his hands before walking to her bundle of blankets and pillows, picking up one of each and bringing them back. Ricard covered Riko up and propped her head up on a pillow, he did strip her naked, the least he could do was cover her up comfortably. But does she care for such things like nudity? She wouldn't have worn any clothes if she didn't. Ricard shook his head, disturbed by the strange exchange that just took place on his mind. Of course it was something he had experienced before, strange brain activity as his body processes and transforms from taking a living being's crimson ichor. He tried to ignore the fuzziness filling his mind, his body would transform again. But unlike becoming just stronger or faster, he'd inherit a trait of Riko's. It was scary, he had no clue what all a being like Riko was capable of, he felt like he'd only seen a glimpse of her power so far.

Ricard continues to clean himself off, eventing finding some satisfaction with the work he's done. His head was pounding at this point, like some pressure was trying to split his head open. He crawled over to the bed Riko had made for him before, sitting himself up on the edge. God, his nose was itchy too, what kind of trait was he inheriting from the fox woman? He tried to resist, rubbing his nose constantly whilst also trying to keep quiet through the night. He seems be having some kind of crisis. Well that's not good. Looks fine over here, is it some kind of glandular problem? I think he just needs to sneeze, what's the worst that could happen? Physically, he should be fine, at least no worse than usual. Okay, sneeze it is.

"ACH— RAAAAWK!"

Just as Ricard gives in and finally sneezes, his whole body starts to contort at a rapid pace, his own undergarments meld and disappear into... feathers? When he opens his eyes, everything feels so big... why did he hunger for baubles all of a sudden? Well that's definitely not good. What do you mean? We still have our wings... wait no, where's his arms? And we have talons? You turned him into a bird, didn't you? The realization sunk in as the crow shuffled around and looked at itself, it had indeed turned from a man into a bird. Panic took over quickly and the crow jumped from the bed and hopped around the room, flapping it's wings uselessly as if it were just a hatchling. Squawking and jumping and flapping around, the noise of a panicked bird filled the bedroom.

The bird stops flailing about as Riko picks it up, just looking back at her with those black, beady eyes. It let out a single weak squawk as she said it's name. Yeah, that was Ricard alright, a crow now. He cooed a little hearing her call him cute, rubbing his beak against her hand. As she set him down, he wobbled around, these new legs were hard to get a hang of. "I knew I'd inherit something from you, but this is... major." He spoke, surprised but focused now that he could actually speak to Riko. Even major would be an understatement for you, but at least SHE can actually help you. He tried to step toward her now, instead just tripping up and falling forward on his feathery belly.

She moves to him and lays down. She was bigger than him and didn’t want to hurt him. ”take it slow. You have to get use to walking..and flying I guess..” she hums as she nudges him with her nose to stand and try again. She watches him and says ”this is major..I didn’t think you would get this power..I thought maybe mind bending but not this..” She watches him and would help with what she can. ”you should be able to fly..I don’t know how that works as I am not a bird..” she tries to think of how to help. She just knew how to work her fox body. She didn’t know how to help him but she tries her best. ”any other side effects?” @dr.coomer4018

Yes, flying. You are going to have to learn that, one flap at a time. Ricard stands up again with Riko's help, these ankles of his were different and his actual knees felt closer to his torso now. This is awful, his legs are so thin and weird, he's like a baby again. "I think I'll just walk for now..." He said, taking a few care steps around before sitting back down next to her. It's HER turn to protect you until you can change back. SHE is the master now. Don't listen to them, SHE doesn't have wings, this is a learning process for you both. Stay the course. Ricard looked up at Riko, contemplating her words as well as the ones dwelling in his mind. He was beginning to pick them out now, Mind, Body, and Compulsion. His whole being was speaking to him as it took on these new traits, as if trying to ease him into this new identity, he wasn't quite himself anymore after all. "I don't feel anything... except... the voices? My mind is speaking to me like it's another person... my human part is trying to take in this new bird part."

"lets see how to get you to turn back.." she says softly as she stands and shakes off her coat. "this of your body. picture it and see it in your mind. relax your body and mind and just focus on your legs. your hands. picture your wings turning into your arms." she watches him and smiles. "take your time" she says as she sits and waits. she doesnt want to rush him but she knew that he needed to learn how to turn back and forth. she wanted to make sure that he knewhow to do just that.

See? SHE knows what's going on, and you thought you were just crazy because of us. "Agree... okay..." Ricard shudders as he feels the licks brush across his feathers, it felt nice... this must be what it's like for a dog to get a rub behind the ears. Yes! SHE should do that regularly, it's been too long since this sod's felt a gentle touch. He looked up at Riko holding his coat, trying his hardest to visualize himself in it as a man again, but it was so hard, never had he strained himself like this. Hey. SHE said it was your body, get in the coat. It was crazy... but it made sense in some strange way. Ricard began to hop around, flapping his wings gently, then with a kick off the ground he began to hop toward Riko quickly. Finally, just as he closed the distance he gave a mighty flap of his wings. Oh yeah, that's the stuff. He felt something change again, something much more familiar. Feathers shed off of him and he felt the coolness upon his skin as he collided with the inside of the coat and displaced the air. A Hunter. A foot hit the floor, then another... then an arm and it's twin brother. Must. The full form of a man filled the coat, feathers fell and faded away into nothingness, leaving just a few stray ones behind on the floor. The fully form man's head arose, looking over at Riko with an exasperated smile. "It... It worked!" Hunt. One small thing though... Ricard was wearing the coat backwards now. At least he's back to normal... again.

She transformes after he does and smiles “yay!” She claps softly as she moves closer and tussles with his hair. “Now you can go back and forth. You might want to practice so you can get a smooth as me.” She winks as she transforms into her fox and shakes. She looks at him moving to the bedding before transforming again. “How are you feeling?” She says. She curls up in a blanket as she looks at him. “You also didn’t have to clean me..I didn’t want you to feel like you had too..” she looks at her wound and runs her finger over it. The wound closes. That power was only used once she had been fully rested

Ricard scrunches up a bit feeling Riko run her hand through his hair. The thought of transforming back makes him uneasy, but at least he has an idea of how it feels to go to and fro. "I feel... good... still a little birdy but... good." The crow would forever be a part of him now even if he was in his human form, he had at least some idea of how Riko felt now. He looks then to see Riko heal herself, a baffling ability but if rest is all she needed to use it then he was happy to have helped her in some way. "I wanted to clean you... you wouldn't want to wake covered in blood, I've done that more than enough times back home." Indeed fights with the supernatural left Ricard exhausted, sometimes causing him to pass out after finally triumphing. In this way there was very little time for celebration of a successful hunt, no matter how evil the danger that was smited. Ricard walked calmly over to Riko's bed and sat down on his knees beside it, looking over her as she tended herself. "Part of being a Hunter is to look after your compatriots on the rare occasion we go in groups. That should extend to you.. who fought with me and.. protected me in the moment I couldn't protect myself. The people of the land fight quickly with these curved swords, I still have much to learn."

"you should rest...from the fighting and shifting you are going to be drained...rest and i will find something for us to eat!" she smiles as she pats the blankets for him to lay and rest. she wanted him to rest jsut incase they had to fight again..hopefully he helped scared them off but...she was still worried

Ricard perks up hearing the mention of food, blood had sated him but he still had a craving for something solid, a bit of a downside to only being half vampire, half the fulfillment from blood. "Meat... that would be nice to have... try not to kill any farm animals though, we might attract attention that way. How about deer or uh... rabbit?" He wasn't really in the know, deer were sacred here in Nippon but hunted everywhere else in the world. And that wasn't even mentioning the rabbits, there was actually hares, larger than their softer looking cousins. "Wait, I can hunt with you..." Ricard tried to stand too quickly and became weak at the knees, falling on his side on the spot Riko actually patted for him to lay coincidentally. How convenient... go to sleep old man. This feels so good, why did we waste our time sleeping in a bed? And this smell... is it HER smell? I bet you want to make a nest too... because I do.

Ricard lays back in the bedding and finds himself easily fall asleep, something that never happened before. Night terrors plague him, years of hunting terrifying beasts take their toll on the mind. Indeed, his worst moment was when he gazed beyond the veil of reality, witnessing the Eldritch Truth. Planes of existence beyond even the gods existed, and now Ricard's mind could not shake this forbidden knowledge. But he experienced nothing of the sort when sleeping in such a comfortable, someone else's warmth was here as well, someone he was becoming more and more familiar with. By the time Riko returned with the rabbits, Ricard was slumped with one arm over the edge of her bedding, sleeping silently and peacefully.

Ricard lifts his head as he feels a gentle tongue on his cheek, his eyes open to see Riko turning into her human form. He could smell the blood from the fresh killing, but he did well enough to resist his urge. While she cooked, Ricard watched from the bed, listening in on her song. What a sweet melody... Well, SHE's had centuries to practice HER voice after all, even he would be ready for the opera house after the first century. But it is lovely, is it not? While HER voice is not like that of the holy choirs... SHE is... Hey! Heads out of the clouds, SHE's calling to us. Ricard quickly gets up, stumbling forward slightly as one of his coat sleeves had slipped off his arm, causing him imbalance in his confusion while he grabbed at it. His braies were the only thing left under his coat so he clutched at the loose sleeve and slung it over his opposite shoulder. "I can smell it too... these rabbits are much bigger than the ones back home." He said, looking upon the sizzling meat as even as it shrunk as its juices evaporated, it still had a sizeable difference to his homeland's native species.

She looks at him and smiles. She pats the area next to her as she flips over the meat. She looks at him “how are you feeling. Any new side effects?” She asks as she pulls off the meat and puts the other on. She watches the fire. Her eyes the same color. “How is your head?” She asks as she turns to him and start to look him over. She didn’t want him to have a bird leg while still human. She hums as she does this. Her ears flickering at the fire. She made sure he was all good before moving and sitting into his lap and curling up. Her tails curl around “tomorrow we will start training..”

Ricard couldn't feel any different than before, there was a moment he felt the need to collect something, but his logic concluded there wasn't anything he needed to gather. "I've thought about making a nest, does that count?" It must've been his bird brain, crows did like to collect shiny objects for their nests. "My head uh... it still feels like there's more than just me in there." Ricard scratches the back of his head, Riko already knew about the supposed voices but he still felt a bit crazy just for having them. Ricard took his share of cooked rabbit in a dish that looked like a shallow bowl. Why was this? He wondered this as he sat back down on the bedding. I'm not an encyclopedia, but many Nipponese dishes are known for their higher water content than in Laboford. I don't know about the little stick things, you're on your own there. As he sat and fiddled with the curious pair of sticks, his attention was turned away from it as Riko came and sat in his lap, curling up and getting comfortable with him. SHE liked it before, so give her a pet, you know you want to. It was true, he really wanted to give Riko a pet and even a rub behind the ears. And so he did just that, of course a bit cautiously as he didn't want to get her flustered like last time. Admit it though, it was amazing. Banish these horny thoughts, it was the heat of the moment. You're not exactly good at expressing your feelings anyway, you need to take things slow.

"I've wrestled with what all these things are before... this part is new, I feel vulnerable..." Vampirism had left him in an almost apathetic state, yet still he remained devoted to his cause. The very same cause he was now reviewing after having met Riko. Using these chopsticks was a bit of a challenge, but after being shown the right way to use them like a sort of claw his dexterous fingers worked effortlessly to pick and pluck at the meat in his dish. "Alright... it's been quite eventful today, but this will be the first time I've slept two nights in a row in so long."

Till you get used to the transformation it can take a lot out of you.” She says softly. She transforms to be able to lay fully in his lap. Her eyes closing softly as she just lays there and waits. Once he was done she would move to curl up in the blankets. She moves the blankets out of the way and makes a space for him.

Ricard believed her, there was certainly an air of safety here in the shrine, or rather, here with her. "Training... for something new, that'll be refreshing." He smiles lightly as he finishes up his meal, setting his empty bowl off to the side with hers. He was about to get up and head to his own bed but saw Riko moving things around to make a spot for him to lay next to her. "Oh." He let out with a pleasantly surprised tone, then just moving to lay his head down next to her. "Reminds me of a nest..." What? What? It feels like a nest.

Ricard feels his body slowly shutting down as Riko pulls him toward her. A much deeper sleep was coming to take him and he was ready. And then there was silence.... and darkness. And then something began to take shape, and a aura of blood and death. Suddenly Ricard was standing nude before a mountain of corpses. Beasts of endless variation and combination of fatal wounds made up this pile. In the center of it all they made a malformed throne, upon it sat a human body wearing his clothes. It's head was replaced with the gored face of some kind of lycanthrope with elongated fangs.

"DO YOU REMEMBER THE SCENT OF YOUR CHILDHOOD?"

A horrid, raspy voice spoke out to him, seemingly from the maw of the dog headed Hunter. "I... I was born in a nunnery." Ricard replied hesitantly.

"YOU'RE NOT KIDDING ANYONE, YOU WERE ABANDONED."

The Dog Headed Hunter's words are cruel and harsh as his teeth appear to be.

"DO YOU REMEMBER THE NUNS? THEIR DEATHLY HOWLS AS YOU RUSHED TO SAVE THEM?"

"What is this? Why are you saying this?" Ricard shivered where he stood, anger and sadness welling up within.

"YOU KNOW WHO I AM. I AM THE BAD DAY. THE ONE WHERE YOU BECOME THE THING YOU HATE THE MOST, FOREVER SEPERATED FROM THE REST OF HUMANITY."

It seems almost elated getting to say all these things aloud.

"ANY CHANCE YOU HAD AT A NORMAL LIFE, GONE. YOU'LL BE ALONE FOREVER NOW IF YOUR ORDER EVER FINDS OUT THE TRUTH OF YOUR BLOOD. AND NOW Y0U SEEL TO DRAG THIS LITTLE FOX DOWN WITH YOU? RICKY BOY, THAT'S A NEW KIND OF FUCKED."

The words rend Ricard like a thousand blades, he falls to his knees looking down at his hands. They're soaked in blood so thick and layered it's impossible to tell which is his own and which belongs to any of the countless beasts he's killed.

The call from beyond the veil of sleep, it could be heard by Ricard. He yelled out, but his physical body remained motionless and silent apart from his breathing, deep asleep.

"OH, HERE SHE COMES TO SAVE YOU, JUST AS YOU COULDN'T RAISE A HAND TO STRIKE ME DOWN. YOU'RE WEAK ALONE, AND ALONE IS ALL YOU KNOW."

"Wrong, you know so much more than you think. You've come this far, it's just a little farther now." The form of a multiarmed humanoid appears above the Dog Headed Hunter, it's head like that of a worn down crown with a black hole in place of it's face. It jumps down and restrains them with it's many arms, the tearing of flesh can be heard as the struggle commences. "Go now. Just remember, I'm on your side, no matter how twisted I might become." It was his Mind, telling him to trust them despite their twisted state, they were never alone. Ricard's nude form is flung backward into the cold void, where a rising heat can be felt, something... someone was touching him. And just like that, Ricard calmly opened his eyes to see Riko looking down at him with flattened ears, something must have happened, was he talking in his sleep? "Riko... are you alright?"

"You could... hear that?" It came as a shock that Riko picked up on any of Ricard's vivid nightmares. "I've been troubled for a long time, plagued with night terrors. Something was different this time though, I was saved, by myself... or something of myself." The feeling of thirst hit him as soon as she brought up some for him, he drank deeply like a hound after a lengthy hunt. He gasped for air as he finally finished, having almost forgotten to breath since he was so desperate for this cool water.

Ricard soon followed, his mind and body were weary from the happenings of today. Sleep reclaimed him and he was lost in... nothing. No dream, no nightmare, his aspects of self were hard at work to suppress his tortured soul. It was oddly peaceful though, it was a quiet he'd never experienced before, a thoughtless limbo between the dreamlands and the waking world. Before he knew it, day would come again. Even though he felt his brain turning back on, he could not move his body one bit. This unfortunately was a familiar phenomenon, sleep paralysis. All he could do was listen to the world around him like a blind man. What's going on? Wake up old man. Silence from both the body and the brain's more compulsory side... Great, one night of wrestling with the dogman and you're all too tired? Fine, we'll just lay here then.

Darkness gave way to light, but with an unusual stiffness in the joints, like a body being reanimated. "Oh... that's not nice..." He grumbled, slowly sitting up, his vision hazy and almost dreamlike. Riko was gone, no surprise, perhaps she wanted some fresh air or something to eat. He might as well step out and face the day. Oddly enough, the corpses of yesterday's fight were gone with only blood stains upon the stone stairs and a flock of crows around where each body had fallen. "Hello... kindreds." The flock gradually dispersed on their acknowledgment of whatever deed was committed in the night. What exactly did becoming part corvid all entail, had he gained some favor among the gods? Which ones even? Maybe Riko would know more. The idea to check the springs came to him then, it wasn't too late in the morning, maybe Riko was still there. So there he went, removing his coat before heading inside, a wet coat was nothing but a burden to him. "Riko?" He called out as he stepped inside, the steamy air causing him to squint his eyes as it hit his eyelids. Maybe he needed a wash himself, he started to remove his shirt as he looked around for her.

"Oh, there you are." His face lights up from it's usual melancholy, even if it is just the faintest of smiles. He can't help but be captivated by her form, like the nude statues of the old empire's ruins spread across his homeland, so he finishes undressing to join her in the waters, eager to be with her once more. The spring water is warm, soothing to the touch, even now he can feel years of stress and hardship being lifted off of him. He's reminded of what it means to be alive, to enjoy living. And then there's her touch, Riko's to be exact, there's a genuine look of worry in her eyes however. "I'm alright, the waters here are... pleasant enough to comfort my stiff body."

"Flapping those wings felt weird but... natural, with some practice I think we'll get it, yeah." To master flight, that could provide so many tactical advantages. But besides that, it would form a stronger bond with both this new part of himself and with Riko. This bond was absolute, she had willingly given him her living blood, he'd carry a part of her with him wherever he went now. "Are you alright? Are you feeling anything from yesterday's fight with those men?" He knew Riko had healed but... what of her mind? How many times did she have to defend herself. Surely it would take it's toll on anyone.

He didn't think it possible, but her touch was so exhilarating, the gentle touch of another was something he'd never become familiar with. Even as a child the very nuns that raised him were not so maternal, not to say they weren't caring, they instead showed their love through that of their god. So Riko being so... gentle with him, it was an experience like no other to him. "Your blood saved my life, I just hope I do not need it again... thank you." Her offering up her blood to him, it was generous if not a bit foolish, luckily he was not a full fledged vampire else he may be tempted to drink her dry due to his endless thirst for crimson. "Humans... many aren't as bad as they seem, just scared into doing terrible things." He holds her close, hoping to comfort her. "I may not be fully human, but I hope I can show you human compassion still."

Her hands grab soap and start to gently clean his body as she looks at him. “There will be more..they don’t like when their own are killed..” she says softly. “You should leave so you don’t have to worry about then..” she would reach him how to fly so he can leave…levae her and the hunters. She would try and push him away from the fate that fell to her. Death

He did try to kill her, and for once he regretted the act of the hunt. He'd finally raised his hand to a monster that wasn't truly a monster... Then she started to clean him, she had no obligation for such a thing, but he had to admit it felt euphoric to keep feeling her touch. "I can't leave, even if I wanted to, there's no ship that would take me for another four months. The people of this land would capture and... possibly kill a foreigner like me." He chuckled, the only one that welcomed him here was Riko, no human. What a morbid thought... "We're stuck in the same situation, this land would rather see me imprisoned or dead than send me home." But as lomg as he was here, he'd see to it that Riko was safe, even if he himself was put in danger.

"i..i have not always been so nice...i have not been good..i was a monster. a horrible monster..." she hides her face into his neck. "long ago i...i was a horrible monster..i treated humans wrongly...i..killed them..killed livestock...lead a human man to his death.." she doesnt look at him. her ears lower. "i am a monster...you..you should hvae just killed me when you first came here.."

But should he? To kill someone trying to become a better version of themselves, that felt so wrong. How many times had Ricard done that to a monster he couldn't actually understand, was he a monster too? What had a he done? "I... I can't... killing you would be the cruelest act I can imagine." He placed his hand gently at the back of her neck as she hid her face. "If any of the other monsters I've hunted were anything like you are now, then... then perhaps my path is not as righteous as I once thought." He arm around her waist grew a touch tighter, his emotions flaring. "I can't kill you Riko, and I can't just leave either knowing these people will keep trying to kill you, who is trying to leave the past behind for a better future. I've killed so many like you, but now I wonder... how many of them were trying to change, how many could I simply not understand as I hunted them down?" The thought shook him to his very core, he could very well be a monster even among other beasts. His eyes shut so tight, remined of the dog-headed hunter in his nightmare. It was clear now what he represented, his bloody, unrelenting, monstrous self that he had suppressed for the longest time. "I'm a monster among monsters..."

"you saved me..you protected me..you protect others! you arent a monster..i promise..i am more of the monster.." she says as she kisses his cheek and smiles. "you are not a mosnter..i promise. you are a kind man...kinder than most.."
