to further his knowledge and try new things with the time he was given. it's shaped like a cat's head, a tassle down the middle with a charm hanging at the end.

when hung, it will make a gentle ring, signaling the wanderer's own freedom in the form of his vision. ++

@DIVlNECREATION https://t.co/TKKL9O6vT7 COOKIE????

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

https://t.co/TKKL9O6vT7 wipes brow. alright niwa back in the forever box for another year.

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

gently placing @DIVlNECREATION's gift in its hands, careful all the while. while open, the box is stuffed with papers and the like for a soft surface for the gift to lay upon.

the gift is but a simple wind chime, glass hand blown by the blacksmith in an attempt ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

a hand placed atop their head, lightly pressing the kasa down as the man gives a warm smile,

" happy birthday, itsuki. "

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

placing a medium sized box in @CONFECTRlX's hands, and a kiss to their temple.

inside they would find a belt, much like the one both he and they would wear while working on blades. it's near an exact replica of the one they wore during their brief time as kabukimono, ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

a glance at the fabric within, a soft smile 'pon lips.

" i thought it could be a reminder of times past, a reminder of how life once was. though, yes it's changed, i believe it's good to reflect back every now and again. so- i hope you find it acceptable. " ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

celebrate even just a bit with those that care for you.

yours truly,

hisahide. '

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

as a bit of a reminder of the past- when you would sword dance for myself and katsuragi. you're free to do with it as you see fit; to carry along or to store away for another day.

i hope your birthday is filled with nothing but happiness and you take the time to ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

while birthdays, i believe, were never your thing; i still feel the need to celebrate your coming into this world. without it, i would have never gotten to meet you, and i would never have gotten a chance to know how truly wonderful you are.

i crafted this blade, ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

the dendro archon showing you kindness and helping you to interact with the outside world. there are so many places waiting for you to explore, to visit and in your own sense, conquer.

just don't forget to visit every once in a while, i'll always be here for you. ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

a blade, skillfully crafted and made with pure intentions, is left waiting for @rejectgnosis .

unsure when the wanderer would find way back home, a letter sits atop the box with a single flower laid across it. ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

' my dear eiji,

time, for us, passes by with no real distinction as i suppose it has for you for many, many years. but you're no longer alone- and i do not mean that as in just my presence alone.

i believe your time in sumeru has done well for you, ++

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

hm.. i think i could take a break and join you.
i'll bring one of my own blades along, just in case you need some support.

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

( turning around, back facing the other, he gives a nod in return- not that kabukimono could see. )

i promise, no peeking until you tell me you're done.

( for good measure, he covers his eyes- )

alright?

[︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎丹羽久秀 . @ashenedheart]

( waiting, for what seems like minutes, when the press of familiar lips connects with his own, he can't help but smile more. hands moving to cup it's face softly, responding in kind.

and a second one pressed to it's lips after. )

makes me think you're shy.
