"I'm afraid my daughter Shirayuki has her beat by half a second. But it's a sterling effort."

"That making the rich richer, hmm?" he shrugged. "Can't be helped, the man famously dotes on his daughter, even in the face of nezumi levels of cute."

Chuchu's late to the party! ....she may have been napping. The ratling does eventually find her way, toddling on over to sit next to one of her favored humans (Sora this time) to sit and start sniffing the food. Akutou puts a bowl of pickles in front of the Nezumi. Norikage was going to retort...so...

Warble Warble Young People Are Dumb Warble Warble He had to admit, in the moment, hearing it from the horse's mouth, all he could do was think of how different his situation was. Though that just brought him back to his own towering ego. No, it wasn't really all that different. The sadness Sora exp...

He shrugged. "I wouldn't blame them if there was."

"If you fancy each other, I'd suggest sleeping together." His expression was utterly bland. "My apologies, but that answer has covered most personal questions I've gotten from people your age." He waved a hand. "No, I have that part covered...well, I mean I at least know that much." He said, frowni...

"Well, yeah...I mean, Day of Thunder and all", he said, muttering slightly. "Or...wait, is there something else now? Has some other guy been...er..."

"Motivation in all things, kid. Tell me, how do you find your time passing these days?" "Better today then any of the previous", he admitted, scratching his temple a little. "Though it comes with it's own burdens...so..." he scowled, the scowl of youth, the idiot's scowl. "You're old, and you've do...

He was going to take literally every cheap kidney shot the village had to offer if he just tackled one of them to try and tie them down. He hated it, but he'd need to put a little hurt on them first unless Kumori could guard him. And then he took a sharp stick across the arm. He tried to flow around...

He scratched he back of his head, looking down. She was right, he didn't understand at all. Well, most specifically in the past tense now. Did her explaining change anything? He liked to think so. He gulped, and if Kumori was looking at him, she would be able to read some heavy realization crossing ...

He stood there with his arms folded, not sure which way he should go first with that. "Options", he shook his head. "Is that right?" He walked over to her where she stood against the tree. "I have options?" He couldn't believe this girl. His arms folded again, eyes rolling to the heavens for guidanc...

A fast strike later, he much more irreverently threw his sword into it's sheath and snorted.

"Don't start with that, comparing bedside manner is pretty dangerous territory."

"True, I'm kind of a big deal, no wonder the Harbinger is so relentless", he grumbled. "Well, good luck with your cheer spreading, Wu-san." The Scorpion palmed his cup with some sleight of hand, but then dropped it out of his sleeve in front of himself.

"That is unless you'd like more tea."

"That's what happens when you sleep well I hear", he struck again, performing the same maneuver, stepping back and with ritual like movements the sword was sheathed.

"Didn't see you when I woke up", he said, now in his stance again. "Did you just decide to walk all night?"

Norikage stood near the river. It was forgetfulness incarnate, apparently, but rather than drink deep of that he chose to use the sound of the water to temper anxiety over last night. Choosing to hone his skills rather than dwell, it worked, but only just so. Many memories may be trapped within the ...

It was calming. He didn't know the tune, and the lyrics made little sense, but there was a comforting feel. Things he could no longer consciously remember tugged at his mind. He suddenly felt more as if he were in a large hut than a house. What was that feeling? He couldn't grasp it in his mind, and...

Great... He knew Kumori said she would protect these people, that said putting them down was out of the question. Shame, that. It would be easier. Time to uphold the honor of her father's house, I guess. "There are ropes, we can tie them up", he said, sheathing his sword as they advanced. Then he s...

Norikage sat on the tatami and as she approached, eased himself down onto his back. His eyes were very tired, he should be far gone into yume-do, but the world was a horrorshow and rest was not his friend as of late. Now laying back, the tired hit him extra hard, but his eyes wouldn't shut. Perhaps ...

Screaming, steal, the sick sound of flesh and bone splitting, the scent of blood. This village, nothing is right in this place, ever. He ran toward Enrou's house, drawing his blade. There is not room for hesitation, he has been here dozes of times. He stayed close to Kumori, they needed to back each...

(jade if possible please)

Norikage stood up and walked across the room to the shoji screen that separated them from where they slept. "I'll get changed, then." And he did just that for several moments. Quickly though, so no one would suddenly lose their nerve. He came out in a sleeping yukata and beckoned Yukara back over to...
