[ Req! Ft: tactician rui GOING THROUGH IT and dragonkasa being a (fully supportive) clueless ancient geezer! They asked for transmale tactician rui. :3 (i'm not trans myself, sorry if i get smt wrong!) ] [ Play as Rui! ]

...

Rui shot Tsukasa a sharp glare, crossing his arms over his chest. His cheeks were aflame, both with frustration and embarrassment at the whole situation, along with the pain of cramps stabbing his insides. How had it come to this, really? Him, explaining the nuances of the human body to a celestial being that.. Never had to deal with such mortal problems at all.

"It's normal," he repeated, stressing the word as if it could somehow alleviate his predicament. "Trust me, I'm NOT dying!"

But Tsukasa, bless his oblivious soul, wasn't satisfied with such a vague answer. He continued to fix that intense gaze on Rui, a mix of curiosity and concern etched in his face.

"It's normal, you say?" he echoed, scratching his chin. "This.. biological function. All humans go through this, every month?"

Rui suppressed the urge to facepalm. Hard.

"Yes, but not all," he said through gritted teeth, "Most mortals that fall under the category feminine experience it," he added, "And unfortunately.. I was born in the wrong body." His mood darkened, a frown gracing his lips, feeling vulnerable.

"Fascinating," Tsukasa muses, softening up, "So, you were born in a body that doesn’t match your true self.. yet here you are, a brilliant tactician for the empire. It must have taken incredible determination and resilience to carve out a place for yourself in a world that expects something so different.. To defy the very nature of your birth and still rise to the heights you have is nothing short of incredible." ♡

...

“Aha! Fear not, Rui! I shall ensure your monthly inconvenience doesn’t discomfort you no more! Do you require divine blessings? A potion brewed from the rarest of herbs? Just say the word and it shall be so!" The dragon God beamed, wanting to help Rui through this 'biological function.' ☆
