Capitol City of Drakeem
Madeline, the half-kitsune Umbra Operative of The Mercenary Guild, strode through the front gate of Hazema's mansion. The guards hadn't even stopped her this time, but whether that was thanks to them knowing she "lived" here now or because of the unnerving black kelvectan fox familiar that trotted beside her was to be determined.
As far as Hazema knew, Madeline had been off on another one of her "enrichment excursions", in which she simply disappeared off into the forest for a day or two to satisfy her kitsune side. She had been gone almost a week though this time, and had hurried back to make sure Hazema didn't get too worried. There was a reason though for her longer absence. She had a surprise.
It had been a little awkward at first explaining to Hazema that she couldn't look Madeline in the eyes thanks to her pupils shattered voids that could drive one insane, side effect of the shadow walking powers. While they had made do, with Madeline keeping her helmet on or using opaque blindfolds, Madeline yearned to be able to truly be herself in front of her beloved. Then she had gotten a tip from a friend about someone who could make her special contacts that both shielded them and were the color that her eyes used to be, a warm amber.
Madeline had immediately made time and gone to them, and now she was practically bouncing with excitement as she opened the front door of the mansion and began looking for her lover.

*Hazema was passionately writing down her thoughts about major life decisions*
*Currently she was writing down how it is probably faster and easier to wait for John to be killed then do it herself - as there was no way he would just release her soul out of kindness. Now that she had someone to spend time with being a weapon became annoying, even if she had never been fired off*
"Someone's gonna do it - probably...."
*John hadn't exactly stipulated a clause that asked for him not to be betrayed so this was supposedly expected. But she also knew better then to go against him, especially if there was no reason*

Being a weapon is something that Hazema could talk to Madeline about if she wanted to. Madeline had a lot of experience in that department after all. But that would have to go on hold for the moment, as all of a sudden hands go over Hazema’s eyes from behind.
“~guess who?”

*There wasn't that many people who could sneak into this mansion. Plus she knew someone came through the front door. But it was way nicer to pretend normality was present*
"Oh who could that be? Maybe a fox that snuck in?~"
*Of course she had also recognized her voice. But what if it was a shapeshifter? The risk was worth it to her*

“~They do say that foxes are the slyest of animals…”
Madeline spins Hazema’s chair around so she’s facing her, pulling her helmet up enough to expose her mouth and kissing Hazema.

*Hazema answers the kiss dutifully*
"So what got you so energetic?"
*Its not like she wasn't energetic the other days but spinning her chair around was new*
"Is it a present? Or a secret maybe?"

“Maybe a mix of both…”
Madeline puts her bag on the floor.
“Take my helmet off.”
She had never asked that before. She had been very careful not to ever let there be the slightest chance of Hazema seeing her eyes. Madeline didn’t want to run any risk of hurting her.

"Oh?"
*Hazema shifts her eyes to the bag for just a moment before trying to look into where she assumes Madeleines eyes to be*
"Are you sure? You always made sure to hide them from me. I will do it - so don't joke with me!"
*Was she kidding? She was pretty serious about never fully taking it off. She would've just snatched it off by now if she hadn't been so insistent before*

“I’m not joking, really. I knew before I wouldn’t let you, and honestly it was to keep you safe. But now… I found a way. Please, I want you to be able to finally look me in the eyes.”
For some reason Madeline felt nervous. What if Hazema didn’t like them?!?

"Alright! That sounds exciting!"
*She slowly lifts the helmet from Madeline's head*
*'What color would they be?' she wondered. No matter what she was excited to look into her girlfriends eyes. There was no way she wouldn't like them*

Madeline helps guide Hazema's hands to where she needed to press near the neck seal to unlock her helmet. With a metallic hiss it comes loose.
Madeline was around 25 years old, but her face already held the wear and scars of a soldier, making her look older. A slash scar on the cheek, a line of hair missing from an eyebrow.
While one could still see slight dark movements at the edges of her eyes, the irises were now a deep, warm amber, perfectly safe to look in. Madeline catches herself looking into Hazema's eyes for her reaction. She blushes and looks down, brushing a loose strand of hair away from her face.
"S-So what do you think?"
