Who: Ayumu Yamazaki and Sanzang
When: November 4
Where: Temple of Kanzeon
What: After her walk of shame back from Hakkai's place, Ayumu's sobered up enough to realize the full extent of what she's done and is dire need of meditation, girl talk, and bonding time with her goddess.
Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, sex, and terrible life choices? Possible allusions to past rape trauma and recovery if it comes up but that's about it. Very brief mention of vomit in the starting post. Will update with others if needed!
[Dawn's first light barely touched the sky when Ayumu finally slinks back into the temple in last night's clothes. Her head's bowed, her still kiss-swollen lips set into a sulky pout, and her hair's disheveled. In addition to forgetting her scarf, Ayumu's only wearing one of the butterfly hairclips she'd had when she left yesterday after leaving it on Hakkai's dresser in her haste to escape the temple before anyone woke up. The thought of anyone she knew in Heaven seeing her hungover and messy with bloodshot eyes made her face burn with humiliation all the way home. Really, the only bright spot is that she only threw up once.
(It'd splashed onto the gate of the temple to some old god that Hakkai didn't like though so Ayumu quickly moved on.)
Ayumu attempts to be discreet when re-entering Kanzeon's temple, hoping that any sounds she makes can be dismissed as the monkeys moving around, because a kunoichi with a terrible hangover isn't nearly as subtle or stealthy as she wants to be. Especially when it's likely her goddess has been jolted awake by the scorpion-like stings happening while Ayumu come to the full realization of what she'd done the night before.
The back of Ayumu's neck, hidden by her hair, is turning an ugly purple as she heads straight to the hotspring. Within moments of arrival, she's tearing at her clothes in an attempt to get into the water quickly as possible to soak away all the shame and embarrassment she felt.
What the hell had she been thinking?
Nothing. That's what. And now she's done something she can never take back. Again. Ayumu just never learns, does she?
The boiling anger at herself and guilt stays with her all day, despite repeated attempts to squash it down or get rid of it. It's then that Ayumu remembers the meditation she learned from her goddess. She's been trying to practice several times a day and it has helped; it's just now that the emotions she's experiencing are too jumbled, intense, and unfamiliar for her to be able to recognize or handle by herself.
So Ayumu gathers up Kishi who's been even more affectionate than usual today, sensing her mood in that way animals often seem to do. The four new kittens she'd brought home must be somewhere else in the temple, maybe with Sanzang. If not, they'll need to be tracked down before she goes to sleep just to make sure they're nowhere they're not supposed to be or where they might get into trouble.
So that night, Ayumu heads over to Sanzang's room, lightly knocking on the doorframe. Her voice is small and subdued when she calls out.]
Sanzang? Are you still awake?
