            says  the  compulsive  liar,  her  fangs  slightly  showing  as  she  smiles  at  him.  once  in  a  blue  moon,  bernadette  would  make  an  effort  to  be  honest  and  admit  the  truth.  but  that  day  isn't  today.  well,  she  may  be  a  little  tipsy  but  at  least  she's  n͟o͟t  shit—faced  drunk.

ᅠ          rurik lifted an amused brow, turning fully to face her.         “are you certain?” he asked, his voice low and deliberate. “or are you just trying to convince yourself?”

＊ ₁        @sanquinarian:          I think you’re misunderstanding.    (Gojo would smile down at her,  rather than the blindfold he wore before.  Satoru now had sunglasses instead,  and his blue irises were on display and it was as though he could see entirely through her exterior.  A small laugh escapes,  a hand pressed to the nape of his neck.)    I don’t really care if you do or not about me.  In the end,  you’re just another person.    (The sorcerer would reply,  words cruel although he wore a bright smile while saying it.  This guy was definitely not right in the head!)    There’s just a curse attached to you,  but you can’t see it.  Let me help you,  then I’ll be out of your hair this time.     (Eyes narrow,  then fully close.)

            she  sharply  inhales,  hand  carding  up  ginger  locks  of  hair.  just  the  way  she  looks  at  him,  one  can  already  tell  that  his  mere  existence  alone  irritates  her.  and  when  he  starts  talking,  he  becomes  a  real  pain  in  the  ass.  bernadette  forces  a  very  strained  smile  on  her  visage.

            she  playfully  shoots  back.  how  rare  …  she  doesn't  seem  to  be  feisty  tonight.  it's  either  she's  in  a  good  mood  or  she's  just  humoring  him  to  get  this  over  with  as  soon  as  possible.  st͟r͟a͟ys,  she  echoes  the  word  under  her  breath.  obviously,  she's  considered  a  part  of  that  category  under  typical  conditions.  but  she's  going  undercover  for  now;  most  of  her  usual  antics  will  be  kept  at  bay  until  the  party's  over.

            ** bernadette's  question  brought  a  knowing  smile  to  percival's  lips.  his  (unnaturally)  tall  form  bending  down  to  her  height  —  not  in  a  show  of  power,  but  more  so  out  of  force  of  habit  whenever  he  was  with  her.  old  habits  die  hard  after  all. **

            she  raises  a  brow,  staring  at  him  like  he's  just  lost  his  mind  for  bringing  up  the  last  part.  in  normal  circumstances,  she  would've  cussed  him  out  already,  called  him  insulting  names  too.  but  instead,  she  turns  her  gaze  away,  scoffing  with  a  shake  of  her  head.  almost  amused.

            a  pause.  she  then  glances  down  for  a  fleeting  second,  taking  a  quick  moment  to  assess  her  attire.  well  …  given  bernadette's  nature,  she  likes  to  dress  pretty.  practicality,  on  the  other  hand,  is  another  issue.  but  it's  only  for  tonight,  that's  all.  she  gives  a  vague  answer,  knowing  percival  would  be  able  to  understand  what  she's  implying.
