Offered tea is bitter; citrusy, easily matching the very scent that usually clung to WARRIOR's every move. Handed porcelain was meant to perhaps hint at a desire for PEACE. -- who knew? Own tea cup only half-full, distraction found when steely eyes fixated onto the other. None of them had spoken ever since they gathered for lioness had no clue how to begin. What to say & what words to swallow; atypically hard for someone deemed so eloquent. "I apologize." Finally; tone firm but genuine,at least.

darkness bleeds from weary eyes, they are almost glacial like this, half - starved yet enduring. she wonders how many tears she has wept when no one dared asked. she wonders how it is that a girl can become a lion with no hide upon her skin, with fangs bared. she wonders many things & she cannot help it. their previous encounter proved fruitless if it weren’t for the smallest possibility that kiryuin satsuki could find the earth again. that she could somehow root herself betwixt oak & vine. 

wildflowers are craved not because they are many but because they endure in such terrain. they are souls born from dust, salt & rain. even if she was bred for purpose the great goddess cannot help but think she a flower grown from struggle. one who does not fear the wolf for its appearance & threw away mortal desires. her spine forms glacial points where she settles a single cup before her furry companion. heels click their same tune though there is a sudden change of tune. her dance spirals outwards instead of inwards. 

she squares her shoulders. a gaze. a smile. 

❛ i forgive you. ❜

there is nothing to forgive. 

❛ you do not need to be so stiff, my friend ❜

we are both warriors.

it’s natural to be afraid of ghosts, a man’s memory, that hour when we were on earth alone.

Please— what’s the word for being born of sorrow that isn’t yours? For having a family? For belonging nowhere? Not even your body. Especially not there.

Words were her plague and words were her redemption.

"Have you ever ridden a horse? If you have not, one day I shall accompany you to saunter the zen gardens abroad horseback." [he will now buy you a hundred horses 8)]

        – – ✦ Recollection leaves ever frowning lips with a CURL; indeed, never had Kiryuin even considered doing so. To spend leisure with a pastime as peculiar as this, with something else than rigorous & merciless physical labor? Truly an odd concept thus never sought, never indulged in. Why, indeed? Sitting on ‘horseback’ mayhaps a ROYAL SPORT. -- how quaint. To offer crowned QUEEN of RISING INDUSTRIAL EMPIRE such a chance. To live & learn; to find distraction in something NOT considered unhealthy. -- oh, don’t you know? Matters were perhaps DIFFERENT now; time no longer strictly broken down into bits & spread over a schedule; revenge no longer looming in the back of gradually recovering mind. Kiryuin hence OPEN to finding relief in a different form, if only to grant frisky other a better conscience, if only to avoid being dragged into more bars & onto stages. -- in the end, business partner was mayhaps ‘WORSE’ than energetic sister.

           && last skid? Impairments raging within broken physique were then nothing aspirin could not fix. Lioness ponders, tap of single index against defined biceps indicating ongoing thought processes. -- Rei would need to inform young CEO of available free time.

            “I am afraid not.”&& clad in one’s business suit, Kiryuin could not help but allow petite PUFF of breath to fall from thin lips, dominant digits brushing documents aside ere petite hum hinted at some form of agreement. -- alliances demanded to be tended,no? She at least, dared to assumed that much. 

            “Thankfully, I am known to be a quick learner.”
