           ❝ Oro. . . ? ❞

   Kenshin has picked up a smartphone && is examining it from all sides, trying to figure out how it does the thing he sees all the modern day folk doing.

      Which one of the three is going to handle this? All three have witnessed it.

[rurounihearted]

( "I'm sorry." I say to my wife, as I start typing. )

[rurounihearted]

            ❝ I seem to find myself in quite a bit of trouble, that I do. ❞

   A quiet laugh leaves him as he assesses the situation at had. She was just as lost as he && neither had a clue on what to do with themselves it seemed. However, he found it strange she was thinking they would be parting in this journey. After all, for souls as lost as them, wouldn't it be better just to travel together so they could be each other's company in this confusing world? 

      Or at least, that's how HE saw it to be.

            ❝ Himura Kenshin, but please, just call me Kenshin. I care not for extra formalities in reguard to myself, given I a simple wanderer, that I am. ❞

   Another beaming smile was given her way, his disposition as bright as could be, despite the circumstances. He did wonder what was under the young woman's facade. . . Why did she feel to be so lost in more ways than one?

            ❝ So tell me, Miss, where should we go? The sun will be setting before we know it, that it will. ❞

   Even if it was still in the afternoon, Kenshin had a feeling it was better to find someplace to be before it got much later && lodging would be something of a difficult sort to handle.

     Brows furrowed as she listened to his response. Fell in battle? A voice called out to him? Huh...that's a weird way to end up here. Still...it was interesting. ❝ O-Oh dear. That...seems like a dream, but I believe you. I've heard--and seen--wilder and weirder. ❞ She responds softly, smiling a bit at the other. ❝ Also...I'd say you are correct-or so it seems to be. I wouldn't know-I just got here from my own world. ❞ She figured she could at least say that, since...well. He told her how he got here.

     ❝ Well...I guess we're both kind of in an awkward place, hm? ❞ She offers, gently. ❝ Y...You don't have a place to stay, huh...oh boy that'll be uh...troubling. And with your clothes...then again people might just take you for a 'cosplayer' again....Hm...See, I'd say I can help with that but again I'm not from this world...and I myself have no standing with anyone. Hm... ❞

     She pauses in her thinking, realizing something-she hadn't even asked for his name...! Ah but...then again, what were the chances of them meeting again? Slim, if any. Even if.. she did find him attractive-but details. Details that, in the end, mattered not. He's a stranger she just met, and she was taken....complicated, but taken.

    Still....she couldn't help but wonder... ❝ Hey, Mister...? We...probably won't see each other again but...could I get your name? ❞

   Ah... The question of how he had gotten here. This was going to be a difficult one to answer without sounding like he was lying somehow. Though, given she was also some kind of 'world traveler' perhaps she would understand.

            ❝ The thing is, I am not entirely sure myself. My last memories were falling in battle... Before hearing a voice saying I deserved another life. And then I find myself here... Supposedly in the future of the world I had been formerly living him. However, I am quite unsure of if this is the correct thought to take. ❞

   At least she didn't seem to be afraid of him OR think him a freak. Perhaps this one could be good company to him while he tried to figure out this loud world again. He just... Hoped there was truly room for him in this new modern age.

     Oh. She wasn't sure what voice she was expecting..but not something so gentle. So...soft, for someone who was dressed so weirdly, but that was on her for thinking it'd be otherwise. And suddenly, she felt her cheeks warm up and tint brightly, emeralds looking away now from the other's face. 

     ❝ O-One of a kind, huh? Understandable... ❞ She murmurs in response, still not looking at him. ❝ Though, I don't think you mind so much it would seem. ❞ 

     Oh that smile she had noticed out of the corner of her eyes....

     ❝ Oh, you too? ❞ She questions, now looking properly at him. Well, that immediately answered his assumption-she wasn't from this world. Of course she was lost-though she had a better understanding. ❝ Mhm. I...don't travel here, very often. How did you get here? ❞

[rurounihearted]

            ❝ Oro. . .? ❞    Confused utterance leaves his lips as his gaze goes down to where her hand is, her delicate fingers gripping the cloth in such a way he wonders if she's almost afraid she'll unravel his clothing. Or perhaps it was just the wonder that was even showing upon her face. Either way, Kenshin's now gotten his confirmation that he was in the future. Something he still wasn't entirely sure he understood the logistics of how it had happened.        All he could remember was falling in combat, a blade PIERCING him through. Someone had finally bested him, but the memory is... Faint. Not the phantom PAIN, however, no that was very much vivid in his memory. He wondered how long it'd take him to forget it or if he even would.             ❝ To be honest, I think that perhaps I am, as one might say, one of kind in this regard, that I am. ❞    A smile is offered, his head tilting just a bit to the left as he speaks.             ❝ I do not think the world really welcomes my kind anymore, but I also think that perhaps you are also just as lost as I, that I do. ❞    Yet it was very clear that perhaps HER lost was not the same as HIS. That meant only one thing: This was about to be a potentially very CHAOTIC encounter.

     The bright, blinding lights were not unfamiliar to the bright red headed female.The sounds of cars passing by, some engines louder than others. That took a bit of getting use to, as where she was from everything was powered differently; solar and lunar energy collected from their ( unbeknownst to her, manmade ) sun(s) and moon(s) respectively. Still, the tall buildings, the cars, the billboard signs--everything was, in some way, shape, or form-familiar to her in some sense. Not quite enough to trigger a feeling of home, but enough to ease her and her senses.

     Bright, brilliant emeralds look around in awe; For as much of a sense of familiarity surrounded her, there was still things unfamiliar to her, as well. The name of streets and buildings, the people showing up on billboards, various ads for various products she's certain her world has an advanced version of or something even better. Why, even clothes were produced differently....well. To an extent. The technology involved in making them was more advanced and less prone to accidents and even climate friendlier. 

     Or you could be like her, who could magic it together.

     Still, despite how familiar things were to her, there was a ton of things completely unfamiliar. Like the term ❛ cosplay ❜. Speaking of which, why was she hearing that term? And what did it mean?

❝ Mom, that man with the sword was totally cosplaying!! He looked so cool! I wanna cosplay just like him! ❞ The child then proceeds to grip his hands together, if as wielding some kind of weapon, and begins to swing it like a blade. Going as far as making combat noises with his actions. The young redhead is confused by his words..but she found herself watching none the less, rather than keeping her eyes peeled onto the road she was traversing. 

     Thus, ending up walking right into someone else, almost falling on her rear.

     ❝ O-Oh, I-I'm...fine... ❞ She pauses, bright emeralds noticing the male...he's not that much taller than she is, soft red hair-an ' x ' shaped scar...and that sword. But also...his clothing...they seemed so...

Outdated.      Gently, a hand reaches forth, gripping onto the hanging sleeve of the man's shirt. ❝ ...I didn't think people still made clothing so old like this.... ❞

@healerkissed didn't ask for this but-

---

   The rurouni was well aware that he was PERHAPS sticking out like a sore thumb. That PERHAPS this wasn't the same Tokyo he remembered. And... Admittedly PERHAPS the sword on his hip was bringing about A LOT more attention than he remembered it ever doing before.

      Which said a lot given the places he traveled and the LAWS found there. . .

   Kenshin was rather DUMBFOUNDED by all of the flashing lights and noise and the strange carriages on paved streets. The state of clothing and the devices that people were holding up to their ear and talking to.

      Where exactly was he?

   When that VOICE had said he was coming back into a world he wouldn't RECOGNIZE he didn't realize they were being completely HONEST. When one dealt with SPIRITS and GODS and other such supernatural beings, one assumed that sometimes their truths and definitions of words might be STRETCHED.

      Alas, no, this poor gentle spirited wanderer found himself oh so very lost. Some children pointed at him and claimed that he was 'cosplaying' and their parents seemed to accept that without questions asked, so perhaps that was something he should use to his advantage. Whatever this 'cosplaying' was, seemed to be a good guise until he could gauge the situation properly.

   However, things quickly took a different turn when he turned the corner bumping into a petite female who looked to be just a BIT smaller in stature compared to himself.

            "Ah! Pardon me, it seems that I have gotten a bit careless, that I have. Are you alright?"

   He offers a gentle smile to her, purple hues showing only kindness in them. Despite how lost he was, despite how noisy Tokyo was now... He always carried a love for life around him.

I am private. I may follow, i may not. no offense to anyone.

Don’t try to push ships on me.

Don’t think whatever my muse says to yours is how I feel. muse =/= mun.

Crossover fandoms are acceptable so long as I know the fandom.

I am of age. Smut may happen on this blog, as well as themes of gore, rape mention, abuse, and other triggering things. All such things will be TAGGED and put under READ MORE for viewer discretion. If you clicked on something while knowing it was tagged for such, this is your own doing and not my problem.

Please be patient with me, I am late getting into this series and have been watching the reboot as it airs, but rest assured I have still done my research

On an additional note: I am well aware of the discourse surrounding the mangaka of this series. It should go without having to say this but I do not CONDONE his actions. But I do believe you can enjoy a person's WORK without approving of THEM or their ACTIONS. Any hateful discourse brought up on this subject to me will be ignored. I simply here to write a gentle man, not contemplate the failures of humans in society.
