[lup stumbles backwards a little, muffling the shriek she lets out in surprise at tsurumaru advancing on her. she like - literally just swallows it down, not wanting to bring attention to herself so much, bringing her staff up just in time to mostly block the blow. it catches her arm too, but it's fine, she's not super concerned about it. she's more focused on shinobu. on the words she hears. it feels horrifyingly familiar.
the black stardust starts to rush into the air, and lup just drops her staff after a moment, looking weary, biting her bottom lip as the lights glitter and vanish into the air. tsurumaru goes, too, and lup drags in a breath and closes her eyes. just for a second.
for right now, the light glows in the distance, and lup ignores it. she knows things are strained, and she knows she's probably not who shinobu wants right now, but she can't help herself. after a moment, she staggers over, and rests a hand delicately on shinobu's back, expression heartbroken. there aren't really any words to say about it, just. she's sorry.]
