Lying here asleep on a sunbeam
Exhaustion was settling deep in Amaterasu's bones toward the end of her shift, enough to slow her down and nearly force her to drop a tray at one point. It felt like years before it was time to call it quits, and more than happy to gather her things, the goddess changed out of her heels into more comfortable boots, grateful for the burn along the arch of her feet. After making sure to wiggle her toes and unleash her hair from the ornate hair pins she kept tucked in there, it was time to leave.
The air was always cooler at this time of night, though a certain layer of humidity still hung about, coating her skin the moment she stepped outside. Her mood and energy levels always suffered at this time of night when the sun was nowhere to be seen. Over time, her smiles would lose their easy quality, feeling more forced the later it became. It wasn't something she could really help. She'd always been this way, as her brother could attest to.
Oh, Jubokko. A brother whom she both loved and was terrified of. Not for any particular reason -- he'd always been kind to her, but she knew that when things didn't go as planned, he could make anyone suffer, her included. Her entire life had been spent trying not to tick him off, and for the most part, it had worked. But this time around, she thought that maybe, maybe her lies had become too transparent. Just enough for someone to be suspicious. Amaterasu trusted both Ra and Helios to keep silent about the matter, but who knew how much her brother already suspected?
She sighed up at the moon, hoping all would work out for the best.
