Bolt Through The Heart (Quanxi X F.OC)

-Coffee-

(I feel like this singer's voice fits the headcanon I have for Seifuku's voice.)

"Well this is awkward." 

Sei knew for the little interaction with the hunter, literally only one day, that she meant all she said but she was still not used to it, not after the life she led back in Japan.

She had been basically dragged out of the building and through the city until a still open coffee shop was found despite the previous storm, it was now calming rapidly, it would cease in the following hour if her hunch was correct.

So right now Sei is sitting face to face with her, same bored look on her face as ever, seeming to be her resting face if she needed to give a reason as too why the hunter always had this look.

"Why? I still don't understand why we are here." Sei asked with a sigh. "Didn't you say I needed to get cleaned up?" She had cleaned off her skin in the bathroom of this place but some blood succeeded in drying into her hair in spots she didn't notice and on her clothes, she tried rinsing it out as much as she could since humans stared at her weirdly but didn't help much.

She got no answers until a waitress walked past and set several things on the table.

Sei blinked with a raised brow at the two drinks and the pile of of sandwiches made of sliced bread, another plate with a cake slice on it, some dark chocolate from how it looks like.

"You ate nothing." Quanxi put a finger on the sandwich plate and pulled it closer to them before pushing it in front of the devil. "I don't believe you when you say you aren't always hungry and that the want comes and goes."

"It is part of the truth, only that, there is a part of it I don't want to say." She picked one off the plate.

"Ignorance is bliss?" Quanxi asked, leaning back in her seat.

"On this? Yeah, I don't feel like sharing how I feel just like you don't want to go sharing why you wear that eye patch." Sei said while pointing at her with her sandwich filled hand and taking a bite, knowing she couldn't fight this time plus she felt better, as normal as she could feel, so she was starting to feel hungry too, she isn't complaining.

"Incorrect." Sei stopped chewing as the small grin that came from the other woman. "I don't go telling everyone what happened but if you stick around you'll know like the girls, that's the difference between what you claim about me and what's the truth."

"You sure do love them." She picked up the drink that was pushed towards her, sipping from it, she thought it was coffee but it was hot chocolate. She can only assume Quanxi ordered while she was cleaning herself off and didn't know if she liked coffee or not.

"Hmmm?"

"The fiends I mean."

"Of course, I wouldn't have deals left and right to work with the higher ups while being a private hunter if I didn't, there are many fiends and helpful devils I met in my years on this earth, could have helped them, I didn't, I was not interested in them but the girls, I do truly love them."

"Then I am lucky to have been helped."

"I already told you why I did what I did."

"Yeah yeah, because I am interesting in more then one way." In a few more bites, the first sandwich was gone. "Even if I am her sister."

"Stop saying that." Sei tilted her head. "You are constantly doing this, always bringing her up. Stop, you don't need to compare yourself to her."

"We are twins."

"Each twin is their own person not one half of a whole."

"Technica--" "No, each their own. Stop living your life like how she wanted, be yourself, be how you want to be." Quanxi cut her off.

The hunter could clearly see this devil was like a bird stuck in a cage with no roof, lies and manipulation led her to think that there was always just bars keeping her locked up and never taking the time to look up and see freedom is so close, her own thoughts weighing her head down and clipping her wings.

It was almost exciting, wanting more then ever to be the one to show her how to fly out of that cage. In one day this girl that looked like someone else almost had captivated her with ease and she wanted to get to know her, wanting to free her of the rusty chains she insist on carrying around, too maybe, if she felt the same way in the long run, make her hers, she didn't like to share her stuff with others.

She sighed quietly as she watched the girl eat, she still wanted to bring up the drop of blood, knowing it was hers but hasn't seen any wound, something was nagging her, something bad but she couldn't tell what it was.... She decided she'd stay silent for now, not wanting to mess up the mood, she'll have time to ask about it later, for now she was just watching the devil devour the food that was put in front of her.

"Here." She used one finger again to push the cake towards the devil. "This too." It was for herself actually but she didn't precise that, the devil would find a way to refuse if she did.

Quanxi had arrived quite rapidly too the place that had rang the devil alarm but had stood back, wanting to know how good the devil was at fighting.

She needed to admit it, she got worried at the bone shattering throw against the wall, her confidence being the only thing that kept her from stepping in and she was right to do so. Having fought her sister once she saw some abilities they shared like the ability to point and with the word 'bang' to shoot invisible forces out or their fighting style mirroring each other, hand to hand mostly, with Sei being a lefty and Makima a righty. But some things, she never saw Makima do, just how powerful was the original devil they both come from? 

She again thought about the fact that Sei needed to stop comparing herself to Makima since even their abilities were different, they really weren't the same person so she'll show her that.
