Kaede Hitori: Gusei do not have to repeat myself gusei hope..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *Smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Didnt want to walk in on you while you were changing or something
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *says with a slight laugh*
Kaede Hitori: Hah
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: thats why I knock
Kaede Hitori: Even if gusei was changing... gusei do not think anta would see much..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: hmm... Somehow I doubt that
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins under the mempo*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei has learned well how to change skillfully
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Hai, But my eyes have gotten very keen over the years
Kaede Hitori: Tis a necessary thing when without a home
Kaede Hitori: So anta insist that anta would be looking then..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *removes the Kasa*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *titls his head to the side*
Kaede Hitori: *grins after a moment and steps back to sit*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: No, I'm not saying that I would be looking, but it would be most difficult not to notice
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *walks over slowly to the seat*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *takes off the mempo as he sits*
Kaede Hitori: Anta rest well?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I suppose
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I kept thinking you were there for some reason
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances over at her as he says it*
Kaede Hitori: *looks around, away from him a bit then back*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: after all the watching me you've been doing lately.....
Kaede Hitori: Nain.. can't say gusei was
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods with a smirks seeing her reaction*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei needs sleep too anta know
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Hai
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *laughs under his breath*
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei really was here the whole night
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *just nods once and decides to not persue it any further*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: So.. what have you been up to today?
Kaede Hitori: Nothing.. still enjoying vacation
Kaede Hitori: *grins*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: up for a little hunting?
Kaede Hitori: Of what?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Banshees and the like..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: whatever is in the Barrows when we get there I suppose
*They go off hunting then return to her place*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks down a moment, admiring her rug*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: very nice
Kaede Hitori: *looks down at it and nods*
Kaede Hitori: Sankyu...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Makes it a bit warmer
Kaede Hitori: And less echoy
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Hai
Kaede Hitori: I will say that the place, though small, is quite cozy
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Hai, it does seem most comfortable
Hikaru Mitsuharu: moreso then my home
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *thinks his is more like a dojo then a home*
Kaede Hitori: Well if it gets cold over there.. can always come here
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins after a moment*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I suppose that would be nice
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *is so used to being alone he doesnt really know how to respond to her comment*
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Does it get cold here usually?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *asks after a moment, just trying to say something to avoid the silence*
Kaede Hitori: In Lethe? It has it's moments..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: have only been here for a few months, i suppose i havent been here long enough
Hikaru Mitsuharu: to know the seasons yet
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans back in the chair a bit, getting comfortable*
Kaede Hitori: Tis common for dust storms to come through around now since everything is so dry
Hikaru Mitsuharu: oh?
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: hmm
Hikaru Mitsuharu: must be pretty bad during them
Kaede Hitori: It varies... some are really strong, others not so much
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods not used to anything of the such.*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: most i've ever had to deal with were the storms we would get back home.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i suppose you are used to them by now though
Kaede Hitori: Enough not to panic when it happens.. but there's always a worry of some various debris coming
Kaede Hitori: into or through the house
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods as she speaks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: hmm... that does sound bad
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps we should make the homes a bit more like the ones in the other quarters
Hikaru Mitsuharu: stronger, so there isnt as much worry
Kaede Hitori: Despite how flimsy these look... they have been quite stable..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well that is good to know.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: the last thing i want to worry about is rebuilding my home
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *furrows his brow thinking about it*
Kaede Hitori: Not sure what happened to it but that house just south of mine has recently been condemned
Hikaru Mitsuharu: oh?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps it was damaged in the last storm
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: it's not unheard of
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Tetsu's home seems to be a bit more sturdy then mine... i suppose if we have a
Hikaru Mitsuharu: bad one, i will hold up there
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: his walls are made of stone afterall
Kaede Hitori: That helps...
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Hai, it does
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *starts to undo his tunic not thinking, then stops and asks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: would you mind if i take this off, it is starting to make me sweat a bit
Kaede Hitori: *shakes her head*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods and finishes undoing the ties*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *pulls it up over his head, then takes off the arms as well, letting out a*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *sigh of relief*
Kaede Hitori: *eyes the gloves still on his hands*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *tucks the tunic and arms into his pack as he glances up noticing her looking*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *at the gloves*
Kaede Hitori: You have some kind of close attachment to those? I don't think I've ever seen them off
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *moves his hands over them, making sure they are still on tight*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: not so much an attachment.
Kaede Hitori: Then.. what?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I just always keep my hands covered
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *pulls them up slightly, making sure the scars on his lower arm are covered*
Kaede Hitori: Riight..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and to think, i thought you would have noticed my tattoo and not the gloves.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smiles as he says it, leaning back in the chair a bit*
Kaede Hitori: Well I notice that too.. but that's not as strange
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over at her*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, i see you are still wearing yours
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks slightly, with what little of a comeback it was*
Kaede Hitori: Habit I suppose..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Though not because I feel I need to..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it's just something i've been doing for so long i find it hard not to wear them
Hikaru Mitsuharu: im just used to it
Kaede Hitori: *reaches back to unlace the corset, setting it into the chest, then pulls her gloves off and sets*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *though truely just doesnt wish her, or anyone to see the scars*
Kaede Hitori: *them on the table, sighing a bit with relief and a deep breath*
Kaede Hitori: For someone that claims to be used to wearing them, you sure do adjust them a lot..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *gives her a look as if to say leave it alone*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: they get loose sometimes
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods after saying it, thinking it sounded like a good excuse*
Kaede Hitori: And adjusting them somehow makes them tighter?
Kaede Hitori: *noted the glance though really cant resist*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *doesnt answer, just looks past her for a moment*
Kaede Hitori: *diverts her gaze from his hands to his eyes, lingering there a moment before leaning forward in*
Kaede Hitori: *her seat, elbows rested to knees for support, a small grin forming then fading a moment later*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: what?
Kaede Hitori: *presses all her weight to one arm as the other lifted to reach out towards him to trace the tip*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *watches her closely wondering what she is up to*
Kaede Hitori: *of two fingers over the pattern of the tatoo though slowly incase he shies away from them*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans back a bit at first, noticing what she was about to do..*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *though after hitting the back of the chair and knowing he has nowhere to go*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *other then to standm, he remains seated and just watches her movements over*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *his tattoo*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *speaks quietly after a moment*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I started that not long before leaving
Hikaru Mitsuharu: though.... the majority was done by my Sinjo
Kaede Hitori: So anta can do this as well?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shakes his head*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: no... my Father knew a man from another village who started it.
Kaede Hitori: *nods slowly*
Kaede Hitori: Too bad..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over at her, a slight grin forming after a moment*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and why is that?
Kaede Hitori: *continues the path of her fingers along the tattoo with a feather light touch before pulling back*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *asks though already has an idea why she said it*
Kaede Hitori: *to sit up in the chair again*
Kaede Hitori: Why do anta think?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks her over, what little he can actually see of her skin*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: becouse I am thinking that you desire to have one aswell
Kaede Hitori: Tis not the display itself.. though it is important.. gusei would have let you if anta could..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *wishes he did know how to tattoo like his Sinjo, but he was always too busy*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *training to learn that aswell*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: Perhaps the master who completed Tetsu's is still practicing
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and I would be honored to, but I do not have the ability
Kaede Hitori: Then for now, gusei will pass..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: are you saying you will only get one done, if it is I who do it?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *wonders about that a moment as he waits for her reply*
Kaede Hitori: For now, hai
Hikaru Mitsuharu: hmm
Hikaru Mitsuharu: then perhaps i have some studying ahead of me
Kaede Hitori: If gusei wanted to be touched, gusei would likely have one already..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glaces over to her as he says it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps
Hikaru Mitsuharu: but if you didnt wish to be touched, then why did you ask if i knew the art of
Hikaru Mitsuharu: tattooing?
Kaede Hitori: Anta already know the answer to that
Hikaru Mitsuharu: do i now?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans forward a bit, intrigued now*
Kaede Hitori: *leans back still in the chair, sitting comfortably now with arms on the armrests*
Kaede Hitori: How could anta not.. anta spoke the answer in the question anta asked of me..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: hmm
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans back into the chair as he thinks about it, still looking over at her*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps I do...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *remains still as he says it, though it is apparent he is slightly uncomfortable now*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei said gusei would only get one done if it is anta who do it.. remember?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Which also means that anta are the only one I'd allow to do so..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods again, still looking over*
Kaede Hitori: In other words.. anyone else touches me and they'll likely lose their hands.. that is if gusei is in a
Kaede Hitori: generous mood
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *understands that, but is still a bit uncomfortable with the emotions that are*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *seeming to flow through his mind at the moment, the thought of touching her*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *seems to have knocked him off his guard*
Kaede Hitori: *looks at him a bit confused as she thought she had explained to him what he was lost on and*
Kaede Hitori: *purses her lips a bit and looks towards the candles on the table, running her fingers through the flames*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *seems to shift in the seat as he tries to get control of his thoughts again*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *watches her a moment quietly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: the thought of that...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: seemed to catch me off guard I suppose
Kaede Hitori: *cants her head slightly as eyes slide towards him though head doesn't turn*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I guess... I guess after all these years seeing you again has made me remember
Hikaru Mitsuharu: some things I had always dismissed as something else.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *silences abruptly as he says it, thinking perhaps he shouldnt have*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I have a hard time controlling and dealing with emotions which I have never
Hikaru Mitsuharu: found much use for, that is the best way to explain it
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans back in the chair now, closing his eyes a moment as he tries to clear his*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *mind of the thoughts of her, and their childhood*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei was not aware one needed emotions to tattoo someone..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *hears her words and nearly laughs but manages to contain it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *speaks after a moment*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, there is an ammount of emotion involved in the process
Hikaru Mitsuharu: especially to the one doing the tattoo, as it is their art that they are sharing
Hikaru Mitsuharu: with the one getting it.
Kaede Hitori: Gusei suppose if anta want to put it that way..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: atleast thats how I have always looked at it
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei wouldn't know
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods once*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps you will one day
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *leans forward again after a moment, and as gently as he can manage, places his*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *hand on hers, and gives it a light squeeze*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I should be on my way
Kaede Hitori: *almost instinctively pulls away though manages to forcefully leave her hand in place and just nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *allows his hand to remain on her's maybe a moment too long, then removes it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *almost noticing her reaction, but more likly becouse he was standing*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *reaches into the pack, pulling out his robe and begins to put it on*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I will see you soon Kaede
Kaede Hitori: *looks up towards him though her head remains slightly tilted down*
Kaede Hitori: *nods faintly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods once and heads for the door slowly*
Kaede Hitori: Hai.. gusei am sure anta will
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods again and slips out*
