For the first time in quite a while, Madoka actually felt like things were going well in her life. She still had to work and take care of her mother, but for some reason, it didn’t feel like as much of a burden as it used to. After her incident in the caves, it seemed almost as though the people in her life were more willing to help her out every once in a while. The doctor and his family especially helped out by taking her mother off her hands for a few hours every so often, and Akemi seemed to like hanging out with the old woman as well… probably so she could teach the older lady more of her evil ways. Rather than influencing a child to become more like her, Akemi had picked a middle aged woman. Why did that not surprise her as much as it should? Oh well, Madoka wasn’t too worried. Her mother could take care of herself, and she didn’t think Akemi had enough influence to turn her into a real bitch. Besides, not having to look after her mother every single day meant she had more time to herself lately.

Today, the young woman had decided to go for a walk along the cliffs. The weather was nice, and the view up here was breathtaking. The doctor had told her to take it easy so her hand could recover properly from the demon’s attack, and what better way was there to relax than come here and watch the ocean for a little while? In a way, being here also meant she could confront the fears she’d had about this area for a while now. Images of the horrific demon she’d encountered in the caves haunted her whenever she came near the Oceanside, despite the fact that this had been the first time she’d encountered anything dangerous in her life, it had left a big enough impression on her that all the peaceful memories of playing near the water as a child seemed to be overshadowed by that one event.

She wasn’t quite ready to go for a walk along the shore, let alone wander by the caves, but this was already a nice first step. Up here, she had a good view of the beach down below, good enough that she could see most of the shore from this spot. She was kind of dealing with her fear without actually going down to the scene itself… that was good enough for now right?

With a quiet sigh, Madoka knelt down into the soft grass and gazed out towards the horizon. She’d always loved coming here, right now she felt a little uneasy being so close to the caves, but she’d get over it eventually. She just needed to take baby steps for while. Maybe a few weeks from now, she could ask Aryan to come along with her when she actually confronted her anxiety for real by approaching the caves. She’d feel a lot safer knowing he was there with her, and she couldn’t imagine him telling her no. He’d been there beside her that day after all, he knew exactly what had happened to bring about this fear. Surely he wouldn’t make her go alone.

Laying down on her back, Madoka slowly closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline. After staying in that position for a while, she slowly felt her body relax. This was excellent practice for when she went down there for real. A smile crossed her features as she continued to enjoy the peace and quiet of this particular spot. She was going to be alright. It might take her a while, but she had high hopes for the future.

Madoka wasn't the only person who enjoyed the view from the cliff tops. A certain white-haired demon found the location rather optimal for landscape-gazing, which was a past time that he often turned to when he had nothing else to do. For the past little while, he'd read his way through the more interesting literary works... but because he didn't have a job and didn't need to sleep, and didn't have anything that required his attention, he had whirled through the whole damn library in under three months -- and now he was back to doing nothing more than simply existing.

So staring at the landscape it was! The ocean was a never-the-same sight that constantly shifted with each wave. The sunlight never hit the water and refracted the same way twice. It was lovely to see. Shouyuki had a special affinity with water, since it was his ability to manipulate and play with the element. Watching the restless waters and listening to gentle sloshing of the ocean across the sand was a treat for him. It centred him, grounded him, and reminded him to remain ever eternal and -- okay, enough with the waxing poetic.

He really just liked the smell of water. Looked like he wasn't the only one, either. Shou perched quietly on a high branch of an old tree, a little ways from the flat, grassy peak of the cliff. The demon watched with pale yellow eyes as a black-haired young woman made herself comfortable. The wind wasn't blowing in his direction, which was a pity, but even without her scent being carried to him, he could tell she was human. There was something about the delicate way she held herself that spoke of her mortality -- besides, what would a demon be doing out here in a human guise?

For a few minutes, he did nothing to betray his presence, but soon enough curiosity overrode his willingness to stay still. With a soundless breath, he felt the tips of his furry, canine ears retreat into the sides of his head, and ran a tongue across his teeth to make sure his fangs were away. Blinking eyes that were now a warm caramel color, he hopped lightly down from his branch and quietly approached the girl.

"Enjoying the view?" he piped up, as soon as he was within her human hearing range. Shou stood a little ways from her, hands tucked into his voluminous sleeves as he gazed out at the shoreline below. He didn't stare at her directly. Apparently humans didn't like being stared at; it made them nervous, he'd observed.

She’d really needed this, just some time away from all the hardships of life. Obviously they still plagued her mind every now and then, for the most part, Madoka felt genuinely calm and relaxed. Completely unaware of the fact that she wasn’t alone, the young woman stretched her limbs a little before sitting back up and gazing down to the cavern on the beach. Now that she felt a little calmer, should she try to go down there and take a peek inside? Did she have the courage to do so? The cold chill running down her spine at the mere thought of it pretty much confirmed that, no, she didn’t have the courage to go down there yet. Oh well, being nearby was a good first step anyway, there was no need to rush.

The sudden unfamiliar voice ringing in her ears snapped her out of her thoughts, and she swiftly turned around to see just who had managed to sneak up on her. The white hair immediately reminded her of Aryan, but it obviously wasn’t him. It could be someone from his country though, couldn’t it? Madoka wasn’t used to seeing white-haired people, but maybe it was common over there? For a moment, Madoka just pondered that possibility while staring at the stranger, that was, until she became aware of her staring and she turned her gaze to the ground. He’d asked her a question, hadn’t he?

”It’s really pretty, isn’t it?” she finally replied to the man’s question, “Pardon my staring, you just reminded me of someone…” Except this guy somehow felt different. They might’ve looked similar, but something about this stranger seemed off. That could just be because this was her first time meeting him though… yeah, that was probably it.
Climbing back to her feet, Madoka couldn’t help but notice how tall this man was. He was almost a little too tall for comfort, but it wasn’t like he could help being this huge, so it wasn’t really fair to judge him based on that. ”I don’t think I’ve met you before, my name is Madoka, a pleasure to meet you,” she followed up on her words with a deep, polite bow before smiling at the man, “Are you from around here, or are you just visiting the area?”
