Action, around the Amatsu

[willing_sheath]

[Tomoe was usually the picture of calm and control. Unless someone knew her very well one would think she never changed from the neutral baseline she generally showed the world--never overly happy, never overly upset, always just kind of... there.]

[Today is a little different. Her movements are jerky and clipped, her words are shorter than normal with a bit of an edge to them. Something is definitely wrong, though she isn't the sort to advertise the fact. Still, when she is not actively working on something pressing and immediate for the Amatsu she is actively hunting for something. She checks drawers, turns over papers, looks beneath furniture, even turns over rugs in some instances. Whatever she's lost, it is apparently something important, at least to her, and the longer it goes without being found the more harried she seems to get.]



[ooc; one, Okita Souji, swiped her journal and she is freaking out beause there are very personal and damning things written in it.]

[ His expression turns downcast. ]

I'm sorry that I took your journal without permission. You're my boss, so you have every right to ask me to leave Amatsu.

[willing_sheath]

[She sighs heavily and looks down at her own glass.]

I am not going to do that. I would be lying to say I am not angry... but that anger was based more out of fear than anything... If it did not contain such damning information I doubt you would have given it a second glance...

[ Closing his eyes. ]

I didn't know it was a journal until I flipped through the pages. Guess I was just curious of your thoughts... about me, about anything.

It shouldn't have been that way.

[She pauses a long few moments... and then leans forward to set the empty glass on the desk.]

I hope... I didn't disappoint you too much...

[ ... Only about the outcome of the war, favoring the Imperialists. His expression turns dismal at the mere thought of not knowing what will come for the Shinsengumi's future. About his sensei, Hijikata, Kamiya and more. ]

No... you didn't, Tomoe-san.

[ Rising from his seat, he heads for the door. ] I must go. There's still work to do.

[willing_sheath]

[Tomoe doesn't move as he rises, keeping her eyes averted, making a non-committal sound in the back of her throat.]

Take care, Okita-san...
