Echoing Midnight (Ari/Santa)

Santa was relieved to see the woman not bothered by the sudden tackling, and when Ari finally got up she was surprised when the Oni closed in, suddenly wrapping their arms around Santa. Her brows raised, shock written across her features before.... lightly she let her arms rest around the woman's shoulders, certainly feeling a bit shy doing it herself before Ari finally peeled away, and with a farewell shot off into the sky.

Santa stared off into that seemingly endless sky, watching as that dot grew fainter and fainter in the distance, her attention shifting back to the flock of her garden that was now starting to laze about the edge of the building, their wings wrapped tiredly around themselves. She should probably head back to hueco mundo for a bit as it were. All the same, she cast one last look in the direction the Oni had shot off, wondering faintly if she'd even ever meet them again, before the air gently bared it's dark shadowy maw and she was swallowed up by the descorrer, heading back to her home.
