@SeikaiMiyoshi@Tikkas_Mischief@LadyNezu@Seishin_Akuto -of pure agony. While Seikai's remedies were good, they only took a small edge off the throbbing numbness that coursed through her hip and tormented the surrounding muscles.
But that slight edge off was enough to let her drift into a fitful sleep.
@SeikaiMiyoshi@Tikkas_Mischief@LadyNezu@Seishin_Akuto In a room adjacent to the icy coated shinobi she lay in silence. Alone she let her expression fall though her teeth were clenched hard enough that one might have been worried that they would break had they seen her. Her eyes were squeezed shut and her expression twisted into one-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -her lips though did not light the fires of her eyes.
"Thank you Seikai, for your strength when mine faltered. I will believe in you, and in your Chiyome."
@SeikaiMiyoshi
She stood in the shadows, using the low hanging branches of a tree for support as she watched Seikai counter the silver haired woman who charged him upon horseback. His subtle nod and her brilliant smile before they parted ways spoke of a good practice session.-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -against him was a testimony of how much she pushed herself today. And how much she trusted the man at her side.
Through the halls and into the room she moved without much of a word, she would sigh with relief as she slid to the bedding laid out for her.
A faint smile crossed-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -accuracy. Down to the minute details of how the light touched a particular jewel. Or the amount of dips a pair of chopstick took from any given persons bowl to their mouth.
There was next to nothing she missed.
Shifting backwards she slowly began to stand up.
@SeikaiMiyoshi -chopsticks she sat up straighter, letting the fire of her warm amber gaze travel over the room. Each body was noted, and the dynamic that flowed within the room was memorized in an instant. Later if asked she could recite the room and its surrounding areas with an almost scary-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -if the light never came. Well at least her last remaining days in this world were filled with some form of contentness rather then the twisted cruelty and pain that she had endured since the mission.
It may have taken time, but eventually the bowl was empty, not a grain left.
@SeikaiMiyoshi -before leaning over her bowl to concentrate on stomaching the food. Always a challenge as she had to convince herself to nourish his body so it survived one more day.
But if Seikai was to be believed there was light at the end of the dark tunnel that her life had become. And-
@SeikaiMiyoshi A smirk of satisfaction shown through as he muttered in an exasperated tone. Her goal of getting under his skin she couldn't help the growl as he chuckled in reply to the medication.
Arching a brow at his confidence and her voice dropped a moment as she stared at the package-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -pleasant thing to experience."
The moment he shifted subjects and held out a vial and package she scowled. The fire of annoyance in her gaze rivaled the very ice in his.
"Damned slave driver..."
She hissed, but took both and set them on the table anyway while she waited-
@SeikaiMiyoshi -grinning at him with pure mischief.
"I can see the waves that will cause now..."
She was studiously avoiding the subject of food. Even the scent rolling from the dining hall was making her stomach roll in rebellion.
@SeikaiMiyoshi -then normal.
"We know he has a golden heart, girls, now we need to come up with a plan to break through that chilly exterior and let it shine forth. He's so distant and cold, he has got to be yearning for a woman's warm touch."
She let a dreamy quality coat her words before-
