Curse/Kizuna Catch-All for September

[dragonrising]

⌛ Who: Runyu and anyone he encounters
⌛ What: For about a week he'll be cursed (close CR) and then he'll experience his first full Kizuna transformation...
⌛ When: Mid-September
⌛ Where: Various locations
⌛ Warnings: Childhood trauma will be mentioned as part of the dragon transformation. May include implications of child abuse/neglect.

A. Cursed (Closed to Close CR only)

The tea set he'd been given was an odd one. Still, he was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, even with knowing the curses this place had on offer. It was one chipped cup and something about that drew him in. One chipped up in a set... No, he shouldn't apply personal experiences to something as simplistic as a teacup.

Still, he prepared tea in the set and set the chipped up before his own place. The other cups were for anyone who wished to join him.

Of course he was noticing that the more tea he sipped the more bitter it became. And dry? Confused, he frowned and looked into the tea in the pot curiously. Which was likely how someone would come across him if they were at the Four Seasons Manor.


B. Transformation (Open to all)

Of the three of them living in his rooms, he was the one who hadn't yet experienced a full transformation. Probably for the best given what his transformations had been so far. However, today was about to change that fact. Because today he felt the pain in his body as he changed and quickly rushed outside. The large and unexpected dragon form meant that some things were broken on his way out of Four Seasons, rushing into the sky to go into the forests.

There he moved into a pool of water, his scales glistening. He didn't want to be seen. It wasn't the pain that caused it though. Instead it was the idea that someone could see this body of his. His true body. Only a few had been allowed to see it and now here it was on display without him having control of the fact.

Anyone coming across the water in the forest would likely see the large silvery dragon shy away from them. Between pain and panic, he was stressed. In need of reassurance honestly. But he certainly didn't know how to ask for it...

So what if he gets sick? He'll live. "A small price to pay to be with you in your time of need."

[dragonrising]

"You are too much, my love." But he meant that in the fondest way possible. He adored that the man was like this. It just meant he had to keep a close eye on him to make sure that Ouyang was taken care of. In this case he had a feeling the man might catch a cold but he fully planned to nurse him back to health after.

Stubborn, some might say. Ouyang preferred to be called determined. He just smiled subtly and continued to thread his fingers through Runyu's mane. It was silken, just like his hair and so soft Ouyang was sure he could fall asleep nestled in it.

"Too much for you? Does such a thing exist?"

[dragonrising]

"Perhaps."

But Ouyang could be too much and he would still want more from him. Simply because he loved the man. Runyu made himself comfortable in the water while making sure that Ouyang was kept above it. Truly he wished he could warm him but that wasn't within his realm of power.

"I like you how you are though."

[theatrics]

Ouyang didn't mind the cold. He could endure.

He rubbed his hand gently over the talons that held him and he smile fondly. "I like how you are, too."

[dragonrising]

Runyu moved his head to nuzzle it against his love. This man. He truly was too good to be true sometimes. But he loved that about him and it was just what he needed in his life.

"I'm going to try to change back. Let me move you to shore, alright? Climb onto my head."

[theatrics]

Ouyang nodded and moved to climb along Runyu's snout. If he hadn't suggested it, Ouyang wouldn't have dared. It seemed incredibly rude to just walk on someone's face. But since Runyu suggested it, it must be okay in this instance.
