Summary
“Until you break, or until I stop loving you. Whichever comes first.” Miko whispers in a tone that is almost erotic—shame and pride and hurt meld together.
The faint whizzing of silk sliding against silk as the Guuji reaches over to her bedside bookcase, the snipping of petals plucked from an ikebana display.
She leans in closer to sink the soft curls of chrysanthemum into the Shogun’s throat. Reflected in the kitsune’s eyes, Ei sees a mirror image of herself, frozen in time, lips sweetly and peacefully curved into a light smile, unperturbed by the experience as though Miko were feeding her dessert.
“Why...?” The reflection shimmers as well-contained tears finally start to well up in those eyes. “Why did it have to be you..?”
Ei travels backwards in time.

Summary
“Speaking of favors… Have you ever bestowed one, Ei?”
At the encouragement of Makoto and her friends, Ei bestows her first and last magatama-- to Yae Miko.
The favor of the Narukami is a blessing and a vow, one which the accepting party returns with love and loyalty-- regardless of how much time passes. -

Summary
“Hm. Well, it’s not any fault of mine that my God is more lax than I remember,” Yae says back, sidestepping a stab. “What’s wrong, Ei? Lost your touch sitting alone in that world of yours for so long?”
“Hardly,” Ei scoffs, dodging a swing at her feet. That’s a new move from Yae. It would seem that she’s not as easy to predict as she used to be. “I did more than just meditate for 500 years, Miko.”
“Well, of course,” Yae replies, stepping back to avoid a swipe at her waist, “How else would you think about lil’ old me, hm?”
Ei can’t help it- she laughs at that. Yae is really something. She always has been. “Conceited, are we?”
“Please, Ei,” Yae is the one to scoff this time, “We both know I’m right.”

Bookmarker's Notes
miko hates emotional vulnerability with ei but she would do anything for her nonetheless and that is the best most accurate characterisation i've ever seen of her
