01 video (daemon: moond)
[he's put this off for longer than he should have. there were just more important things happening when he arrived, and after that it felt too late for introductions.
but it keeps eating at him, and eating at him, and isn't there a saying about better late than never? so he double-checks his appearance and clears his throat before turning to his daemon.
what you get looks a little bit like a kid whose mother has slicked his hair to the side for the first day of school.]
I've wanted to say hi, so here I go. Hi. My name is Haneul. You can also call me Han - no one ever has, but I wouldn't mind it. I've been here for a couple of weeks. So far this has all been...well, life goes on, doesn't it?
[until it doesn't, but he's trying to make friends and reminding people that they die isn't a very good way of going about it.
or is it?]
So is there anything that you hope to do before you're finished with this life? I'll tell you one if you'll tell me.

This is my fourth world though, [ she admits. ] I was actually aiming for somewhere else when I ended up here, but- So far, I can't really complain! Everyone I care about is here, which. Is probably what changed my mind, I realize. Kind of cheesy to say but I found a family here I didn't have before.
no subject
It does sound like they have it figured out. Do you know the rest of the song?
[maybe he's looking for more wisdom in places he never thought to look before. he might also just like hearing her sing. but haneul's just as content to listen to her talk, the explanation that she gives.]
You know what's really cheesy? Pizza. What you're saying makes perfect sense. [haneul looks down, takes a breath like he's going to say something more but ends up holding it. he finally exhales before smiling again.] You have adorable dogs. I had a dog. He passed.
[actually, he has that a bit backward. the dog died and then he became his.]
no subject
[ He's winning a lot of points with that, honestly. Rose's musical ability is one of the few (if not the only) things she's proud of. So to show it off, to have people tell her she's good... It's nice.
She laughs though, at that pizza comment. ]
Man, now I could go for pizza. I'm sure these guys would make eyes at me if I did though. [ Rose bends down to give one a smooch on their wet nose. The dog licks at her face in return affection, tail thwumping against the daemon currently recording. ] Thanks. I'm sorry to hear about yours though, I... I don't actually know what I'll do if anything happens to these guys.
no subject
[he's been looking to the side, and it probably seems like he's talking to himself a little bit. haneul corrects it as soon as he realizes it, eyebrows jumping as he offers a faint smile.]
That kind of love doesn't go anywhere. I know it's not the same, but trust me when I tell you that you'll never really lose them. [but he's suddenly worried that he's just making her sad in spite of his good intentions, so he quickly looks for a distraction.] But I have to ask you something now, and it's very serious. Don't rush your answer, I'll wait.
[haneul clasps his hands together and leans forward.]
Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?
no subject
That's reassuring. I definitely hope not. [ It's a little somber, but not enough to really bring down her mood. She knows, better than anyone, how temporary everything is. Still. ]
Oh, jeez. [ She feels like... there is a wrong answer here. ] I've never... actually tried it? [ Since she didn't want to, but. ] But never let it be said I'm afraid to try new things.
no subject
[he also feels like people should be passionate about as many things as possible.]
And it's good to try new things! [haneul smiles brightly at her enthusiasm, which seems to be something that he has in spades.
but a flicker of something crosses his expression. not quite a grimace, but...they might share an opinion on the subject at hand.]
And the good news is that pineapple is safe for dogs to eat too. So, if you hate it... [he trails off with a laugh, shaking his head.] At least it won't go to waste.
no subject
Oh, gosh, that's good to hear. I wasn't actually sure, I mean- I don't eat it much, but it never made me sick? Not like chocolate does. So I figured it was probably alright for them too.
[ ... Wait, what. ]
no subject
[haneul tips his head, blinking a couple of times as he thinks about that, the connection that she makes between what she can eat and what the dogs can eat not totally out there. he's seen some dog food that looks a lot like his aunt's cooking, with the little peas and carrots in it. the dog food probably tastes better too. (he would never tell her that.)]
I wonder why that is.
no subject
I'm a yokai. A wolf one, specifically. So I technically am part wolf and that means certain things - like caffeine - are toxic to me.
It's such a shame. I love chocolate, too.
no subject
[the word suggests the slightest of doubts, but haneul's expression says otherwise. he's smiling, brown eyes alight as he looks at her.]
You're the first yokai that I've ever met, wolf or otherwise. Are your senses - sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? No more than that, I promise.
[he doesn't want her to feel like she's on trial or anything.]
no subject
So Haneul is just winning all around right now. ]
My senses are heightened, yes. Sight and smell especially. And don't worry, you can ask me as many questions as you want. Though- Maybe over dinner sometime?
no subject
and maybe she wouldn't think that he's scary either.
he remains smiling, almost like his daemon has paused or frozen on him. but he finally brinks and responds.]
Dinner would be perfect - with dessert. It would give us more time to talk. Nothing chocolate. [okay, he feels like he's recovered fairly well, as long as he doesn't start wondering if maybe she doesn't like sweets at all.] I promise I won't eat anything with too much garlic either.
no subject
So, as long as Haneul isn't a spider in disguise... It's doubtful she'll be scared of him either. ]
How thoughtful of you, [ she hums happily. Already so mindful. It's adorable. Gosh, why didn't all these cute boys exist in her world? ]
It sounds like a plan! Anywhere in particular you wanna' go or can I surprise you?
no subject
[especially ones like this, like her. his life has been painfully lacking in those sorts of surprises.]
