Overture Downs there is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness

lmao this whole thing is like a couple of kids playing around, except their "fingerpainting" with blood, there's a beheaded rabbit corpse, and they're both mentally unstable adults. cx

As one could assume, the ghostly woman was not as unnerved by the man’s actions as she should have been. She merely watched him mutilate the mouse’s corpse in silence, her head tilted to the side and her curiosity hidden by an emotionless mask. She could just faintly see the blood flying everywhere, but could definitely hear all the pop and cracks of the poor creature's body, giving her clues as to what the man was doing. Yes, such a strange practice… Perhaps mangling prey was some sort of ritual these local mortals liked to perform, as this was the second time she’d seen such an act…

She couldn’t fathom the purpose of the act, but it didn’t really matter. Whatever his reason for doing it, the male sure seemed to be enjoying himself… He laughed (albeit manically), he pranced about, he rolled in the crimson pools, and then he sent droplets of blood up into the air with a flick of his tail and opened his mouth so as to catch some, creepily akin to a child catching snowflakes with their tongue. Truly, the man’s glee was infectious; it gave Nimue the urge to get to her paws and perform a few graceful spins of her own, her lazily thumping tail betraying her elation, but she stayed put.

The shade’s attention had returned to her when she make her inquiry about painting, and even through her blurred vision, she could tell he was grinning by the glow of white fangs against a sea of darkness. Upon his request, her colorless tail lashed the air excitedly and she hopped to her paws, swiftly gliding over to the shadow’s side. Standing just a little behind him and peering down at his blood soaked paw, she closely mimicked his actions, gingerly lifting her own paw and delicately dipping it into a nearby pool of rabbit blood. The dark, scarlet liquid showed up quite well against her pink pads and pearly pelage, and dripped onto the ground as she waited for his instruction.
