Whispers of the wind (Cressida)

Kasumi continued to wait, she hoped that it wouldn't be too long from now. She wanted to see Cressida in her new clothing. It had been a tough choice on what exactly to buy her, especially when she said that she wanted something similar to what the Goddess of Wind was wearing. So Kasumi granted her request, she was glad to do anything for Cressida if it was in her ability. No matter what Cressida was always beautiful in her eyes. And Kasumi wanted to show that to her in the way that she knows it will reflect.

Kasumi knows what she had went through from the things that Cressida has told her. How she had been abused physically by several people in her life. How she was called a freak to her face, just for being different from the rest. Mortals that see something different react in three different ways, they will accept the change. They will hate it and reject it with all their mind, or they will run away in fear. That is the pattern that she has noticed so far. However, Kasumi was going to change that. She was going to treat Cressida like the princess she is. The only fear is that Cressida might be overwhelmed from what she was doing.

The goddess of wind opened her eyes when she heard the sounds of her Shrine Maidens coming along with Cressida. Their orders were to bring her along when she was all ready. She was finally going to see the results with her eyes. As she saw Cressida enter the room she was amazed with the way the colorful kimono was around her body. The dark purple obi that made a lovely contrast with her skin, making the beauty of her face stand out in her eyes. If she wasn't the goddess she would have thought that Cressida might be a god of her own.  "I am glad that my maidens helped you without any trouble. I hope that you like your new kimono that I picked out for you."

"I didn't want to ask the maidens what they thought, but here you are...This is me in the outfit you selected for me. And I hope that you don't really mind the end result. Still this is all...strange to me. Being treated so well, being so...special. Or at least feeling that way. I'm far more used to being called a freak and being kicked around. With rags on my back and nothing on my feet."


"I see," Kasumi nodded as she watched Cressida make her way before she could even get up to assist her. Once her beloved took her seat she let out a smile of her own. "Of course not Cressida, in fact you look absolutely radiating in my eyes. I am pleased that I picked a suitable kimono for you. Though does it feel nice, not the wrong measurements?" Kasumi asked as her smile disappeared when she responded to the woman's other statement. "Well I do hope you get used to it, as I said you are very special to me. I want you to feel that way each time you are with me and not training or learning from me. While they treated you poorly in your world, here in my realm I shall treat you like the princess you are."

Kasumi took a bite of a cookie on the table as she looked at Cressida. She was really impressed with what the result came. She hoped that she was doing well in making her happy.

"So what are you wanting to get done first? And I...Still can't believe you want to have a try with me. Though I know I've caught you off guard with the odd kiss or two. I bet you looked so cute while blushing."

"Um yes..." Kasumi's cheeks started to turn red from what Cressida said. It was true that she had already stolen a couple of kisses from her. And Kasumi didn't mind that at all, she took Cressida's free hand and placed it on her cheek. She wanted for her beloved to at least feel the warmth in her cheeks. If she couldn't see her blush then at the very least Cressida might feel it. "Well I am unsure on how to act accordingly. I am afraid I am as bad a they come when it comes to being in a relationship. Though I am glad that we are giving this a try."

Kasumi closed her eyes and let out a small sigh, one similar to Cressida's. She was content right now being close to her. Learning along with her on how to act in a relationship. It was nice, though there was something else. "Well I thought we begin with getting your sight back, in a sense. I want to teach you how to use the winds to help you see without using your scythe as a guide. I did say that I was going to help you in doing so, did I not?" Kasumi let Cressida's hand go and took her own tea cup and took a light sip. "Besides this can be done anywhere, so we can start now if you wish. Or we can start at a later time. The concept is simple though it might take a bit of practice to let it become second nature to you. "

Kasumi set her empty tea cup  and poured herself another cup. She added two sugar cubes, stirring it with her spoon before taking a sip of her new tea.  She was waiting on Cressida's answer, when she wanted to begin to learn they can start.
