 It's the morning of October 9th when you feel it. At first, it's a gentle rumble. Then, the ground begins to quake harder as a transparent shield erupts from the perimeter of the colony. Those fortunate enough to be standing outdoors will get a glimpse of it as it slowly closes around the colony, forming a glass dome that keeps everything enclosed inside. It may spark your curiosity. It may even cause a bit of fear and anxiety, but other than that, the day remains the same. Plain. Neutral. A little too quiet. That's when the cold sneaks up on you, little by little. You may notice yourself shivering and in need of a warm blanket. It's just a little breeze, right? You might close the windows in your apartment or throw on a sweater. But the cold doesn't stop there. The temperature begins to plummet gradually by the hour, and you notice frost appearing on all visible surfaces. Machines start to malfunction and grow stiff all over. The wind knocks over a few post boxes and signs. Your skin goes numb in places. Shrinkage happens for those who have things that shrink. All in all, it's an unpleasant experience, and the trains are shut down, leaving most of the colony's citizens with limited transportation. However, a figure appears in a dimly corner of the station to brighten your day. He has a blanket laid out with snow globes placed on top, some plain, some rose-tinted. They're all for sale for a meager 25 credits. Since he can't speak, he lets his boom box do the talking for him, letting out a familiar song.

The cold is starting to set into your bones, a sharp pain emanating from the way it seems to burrow under your flesh. No amount of jackets, parkas, and sweaters offer relief as the temperature plummets by the hour. The streets are paved with ice everywhere, and snow is rapidly falling from the ceiling of the dome. Will you play in it? Will you settle by the fire with a warm beverage? Will you and your ill-prepared body be subjected to the slow madness promised by hypothermia? It might seem bearable at first, but nothing is ever that simple or easy in Cerealia.
no subject
No, Tenka's going to keep offering it to her. Absolutely not, he's not taking this back.]
Sure you can, I'm offering it! It's freezing! Put something on before you catch a cold!!
no subject
I can't. I'm already in debt to your brother, I couldn't possibly trouble your family any further...
[Of course, Soramaru had been like this, too, when it came to taking care of her, but she has no trouble combating their stubbornness with her own.]
no subject
[It's a surprise, okay. Mostly people know Tenka first and then the other two but... well, at the mention of one of his brothers - he's not even sure which - he warms up considerably. His actions get a little less frenzied now as he continues to gently push the sweater into her arms.]
Hey... It's no trouble. It'll only be more concerning if you get sick on my watch. Just take the sweater and let's get you somewhere warm, okay? I've been told that I'm rather stubborn, so you should just give in!
no subject
...I understand. Thank you. [She bows her head for a brief moment, then puts on the sweater. She can still feel his warmth in it.] I was just on my way to find warmer clothes. I'll be sure to return this right away.
no subject
[And he's beaming, very proud of himself, yes. The pride he feels is enough to warm him up to make up for his loss of one sweater. But it's okay because he still has a ton more. Now he's tilting his head.]
It's not a big deal - do you know where you're going? Or where you're going to be staying?
[It's a habit of his to take in random Fuuma that he meets in the snow. Don't be surprised.]
no subject
Yes. I already know my way around. [Well, you know. In general. She didn't know exactly which store she'd be going to but she'd figure it out when she got there.] It's important for a ninja to be aware of their surroundings.
[She hadn't been here very long, but she considered this something essential to her survival.]
no subject
[please don't try to make him give you orders, he's not very good at it. though honestly he's sighing in relief because okay, at least she's got a good head on her shoulders.]
Then let's walk and talk. You know who I am, but what's your name?
no subject
She's a bit bewildered by him, but Soramaru had been kind to her, and honestly, she feels as if Tenka himself is very... genuine. So she nods, agreeing to follow him for now.]
My name's Nishiki. It's nice to meet you, Kumou-san.
no subject
[Kumou-san is so, so formal. No one calls him that unless he's at a fancy party and those are his least favorite places to be. For now though, he'll just lead Nishiki to the clothing shop he went to with Sousei. It had a solid enough selection.]
By the way, which of my brothers did you meet?
no subject
But she nods her head—Tenka-san it is. And at his question—]
Soramaru-san... When I was injured, he insisted on taking care of me despite my protests.
[She feels like that part's especially important to point out. SHE TRIED TO SAY NO...]
no subject
Did he.... Hahaha, that kid!!
[It makes him tilt his head as he looks at her, then offering without a speck of hesitation.]
Then you know that you have a home to go here too, right? If you need a place to stay, if my little brother decides that it's a good idea to take care of you, then I'll do it too! Can't have him outdoing me!
no subject
A home...? That's impossible. Nishiki shakes her head.]
I think you misunderstand. He only took care of me because I was hurt. Nothing more.
[He wasn't giving her a place to stay, so Tenka shouldn't feel obligated to do that, too—that's what she means.]
no subject
[That much manages to get Tenka to blink in confusion.]
He just left you after you were hurt then...? [ . . . ] Oi, that kid! Didn't he learn anything from his aniki?!
[That much manages to get him to sigh and wave a hand.]
Then it's official! You come and live with me and my partner, alright? I'll show you some real Kumou hospitality!
no subject
...will that really be alright?
[She understood that Tenka probably didn't have any issues with her Fuuma half if he'd been so willing to allow Shirasu to stay with them, but...
Maybe it's just— too strange for her, because she's never had anywhere to go.]
no subject
Of course! I wouldn't offer if it wasn't alright.
It's not the first time that I picked up a lost person in the snow... you know?
[It's almost a little too familiar for comfort - would this Fuuma betray him too? - but well, Tenka's not the type to think too deeply about things like this.
As far as he can tell, she needs his help and that's reason enough to extend a hand and home.]
no subject
Your partner won't mind, either?
[Tenka might not mind bringing in people from the snow, but "partner" implies it's not one of his brothers, so they might... see things differently.]
no subject
Who? Sousei? [he waves a hand at that] He'll be fine.
He can't complain about picking up people who need help since Dad did the exact same thing to him.
no subject
It's so weird, she thinks, how easily they can do things like that—just picking people up that they don't even know. Yet, at the same time, even though it's weird, there's something about it that makes her feel kind of... hm. She's not really sure.]
...your family is strange.
no subject
[So decisive. Even though it might've not been a compliment, but regardless he's just going to laugh and shake his head.]
It's just in our nature to be welcoming. I have no reason to believe that you'll do us wrong... so you just play nice with us and we'll take care of you, alright?
no subject
[She had no intention of hurting or betraying him—she really had no reason to, but... how could he know that?]
no subject
If you mean 'someone like you' meaning your heritage... well, I don't have a lot of issues with Fuuma. [No, it technically wasn't the Fuuma that caused him this much hardship. It was strictly Kinjou Shirasu. He's not about to blame an entire clan for one man's actions even now.] Unless you give me reason to think that you'll hurt me...
How can somebody make friends if they're wary of everyone they meet? Isn't that lonely?
no subject
[Maybe that wasn't entirely true, because she did lead a quiet, lonely life. But as long as she had something to work toward, then it was fine—she didn't need to worry about being lonely because in the end, it didn't really matter.
...that's how it used to be, anyway. She didn't have that anymore, so she was honestly a little lost. It would be harder not to think about things like that when she didn't have anything else to occupy herself with.]
no subject
Well, you can loosen up, alright? I'll make sure that no one ever gives you any trouble so you can focus on making friends. You're still young, you should spend more time laughing.
no subject
There was no doubt about it—they were definitely brothers.]
...that's unnecessary. I don't need any of that.
[She didn't need friends, and she didn't need to laugh. She didn't see how any of those things could solve her problems. She doesn't mean to be difficult on purpose, she just... doesn't understand.]
no subject
[There's really no arguing with this one. He's still laughing along, shaking his head.]
Everyone needs friends - even if they might not know it yet. You'll come around.
