The Day of Thunder

[Wu Zhe]

Zhe looked into her face and empathized.

''I thank you for sharing Lady Chouri, you need not say more, I understand your predicament.'' he gave a light squeeze of the fingers ''I am just glad that, whatever happens, I can stay or return here.''

[Wu Dai Lu]

She squeezed back and let out a relieved breath, smiling warmly. "Thank you for understanding, Wu-sama. If things go really well... if it turns out we can help more than just this place and our village with these practices... I may be able to go elsewhere myself."

[Wu Zhe]

He could not help but stare into her eyes for a moment

''There is a lot to see, a lot of people to meet but they say home is where your heart is''

[Wu Dai Lu]

She eyes met his in return and it seemed to hold her there, silent as she gazed into them, leaning forward unconsciously just a little. "Ah... Well... That doesn't mean that where your heart is... can't change..."

[Wu Zhe]

''It can change but somethings always remain the same'' he replied...though not entirely sure were he was going with this. ''We will see in time''

[Wu Dai Lu]

She smiled and nodded, then looked toward the inside of the house with a small chuckle. "It's getting late... We should really head off to bed."

[Wu Zhe]

He chuckled

''Yes, we should''

[Wu Dai Lu]

She rose to her feet and smiled. "Sleep well, Wu-sama. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the morning."

[Wu Zhe]

Zhe took longer to rise

"I wish a good night sleep to you as well, lady Chouri. Tomorrow's breakfast will be light so you can have all the time you want to prepare for the ritual"

[Wu Dai Lu]

"Thank you, Wu-sama," she said. she paused once he rose and them stepped forward, giving him a light kiss on the lips this time, instead of his cheek. "Good night."

With that, she hurries off to her own bed.

[Wu Zhe]

Zhe just stood there, grinning like and idiot.

Now he was almost sure she really liked him

And he went to bed
