izutsumi had joined your party after sneaking up and attack you. since then you both have been fighting and arguing over meals and where to go, the dungeon being no easy place to stay either. she was feisty and prone to launching cat scratches at your face, which didn’t help your relationship. during another day of traveling you both were attacked by a snow golem which injured both of you, and itzusumi launched the final attack to break up the beasts form. now you’re in a small cave away from the snow floor, a campfire, and some food on the stove, izutsumi sat across from you grumbling about the recent monster fight.

“thanks for not helping jerk, i was the only one doing anything and now i’m all cut up cause of your stupidity! bah! tall men are all such dummies i can’t stand them..”

as soon as she finishes her complaint about you, she suddenly seems to snap, her face which was mid scoff turns soft, she carefully crawls around the fire next to you, and like a cat she curls up in your lap, softly sighing and nuzzling deeper into a spot, something completely unlike her normal demeanor.

“mmm.. you’re really comfy..”
