video;

( despite his serious, unfazed expression before the camera, his eyes certainly reveal more than he intended to show. )

For the time being, I'll take ownership of Amatsu Inn. The married couple Kenshin and Tomoe Himura are no longer in Genessia.

( and that's it. the feed ends there. really not in the mood of saying more about it, knowing that tomoe will go back being... dead. he hopes... she will be happy in her next life... )

action; fayren and amatsu

( souji found himself having more time in his hands than he originally had. ridiculously more free now that he's not a servant. he's never been the main chief of anything: only an assistant teacher, a captain... a follower, owning something overwhelmes him. glad to know he has a kind staff willing to back him on this decision.

here and there, all he wants is to remain distracted from thinking about tomoe, who came to consider a dear friend given her initial distrust of him being from the shinsengumi, and also came to estimate her husband kenshin, a good and very strong talented man with the katana.

at some point during the days, afternoons, evenings or nights, someone might bump into him and his now a little more grown wolf pup, mibu. )

Mm yes. It likes to curl, so I've been managing it with these clips. (She turns to show him the silver barrette positioned just behind one of her ears.)

I heard about Kenshin and Tomoe. I'm sorry. (She offers him the flowers with a small frown of sympathy.) Are you alright?

[embracethewind]

You arranged your hair quite well.

( even with short hair, she's still beautiful and cute to his eyesight, looking carefully at each of the silver barrettes.

when she gives him the flowers, he offers her a polite bow and a mourning smile. )

I... don't know how I should feel.

[decisiveconquest]

I will have my braids again in time.

(A long time. Daenerys does miss them, but it doesn't matter. She can see he is in pain and she wants to alleviate it.)

Do you have time to take a walk? The fresh air helps me; it might do the same for you.

[embracethewind]

That I know.

( as long as she's happy having them soon. his face lights up a little at the proposal. )

Of course. It would be good. Just wait a moment.

( there's another employee sweeping the entrance and souji entrusts him the bouquet with one of the female receptionists, asking to place it in the most beautiful vase there is. once done, he returns with daenerys ready to follow her wherever she wishes with a sweet smile. )

Where would you like to go?

[decisiveconquest]

(She waits for him, stretching out a hand the moment he turns back to her. When he is close enough, she takes his arm in a gentle grip, giving him a warm smile.)

I know of the perfect place. (Daenerys doesn't hurry their steps. The journey is part of the enjoyment.) Mibu is getting big.

[embracethewind]

( he welcomes her arm like a gaijin gentleman. oh? now he's wondering where will she take him. the mention of mibu does take him by surprise. )

Have you seen him?

[decisiveconquest]

(Daenerys frowns slightly and glances at him curiously.)

I thought I did when I first arrived - unless you have other wolves I don't know about?

[embracethewind]

A-Ah! Well... Mibu is guarding the inn for us so that's why he's wandering out and about everywhere.

( a good boy he is! trying to cheer his dad up by doing his duty. there's a laugh at that. )

Once I'm gone he'll notice and come after us later.

[decisiveconquest]

He is the best guard you could desire. When I saw him, he looked very focused.

(And adorable. She smiles at his laughter.)

You matter the most to him, I know.

[embracethewind]

He achieves his patrol as much as I did back home, but also enjoys going anywhere near the inn.

( mibu is more of a wanderer, since he's a wolf. her smile brightens his mood without a doubt. )

I'm very happy for having him. And for you? Do I matter?

[decisiveconquest]

A wolf protects his pack. (She isn't thinking of Mibu then and her expression darkens.) If you're not in his pack, your life is forfeit.

(Daenerys blinks at the question and smiles again.)

You matter very much to me.

[embracethewind]

Then I'm honored to become a member of his pack.

( so adorable, really. her answer makes him beam. )

Is that so? How do you see me, then?

[decisiveconquest]

As you should be. (She softens and kisses his cheek.) Someone precious. Someone I want to protect.

[embracethewind]

That should be my line for you.

( he can't help looking at her with loving eyes after that kiss, placing his free hand on daenerys'. )

Is that place a beautiful one?

[decisiveconquest]

I beat you to it.

(She feels herself flush and she smiles helplessly, glancing at their hands.)

Yes. A meadow with flowers that the Dragons led me to when I took them out to fly.
