〖 燭台切光忠 〗 

 ❛Tsuru-san, hang on!❜  Panic shines in his tone, as he hoists the other’s arm over his shoulder.  His blade snakes out to the side, striking the enemies’ head hard enough to send it flying.  The crane’s white cloth was quickly getting stained with crimson blood but the other struggled to get out of his grip; couldn’t he feel the bite of pain that no doubt came with a stab?  

Still, the injured tachi’s gold gaze stays trained on the enemy, trying to break away from his grip.  It had been too soon to send him out in battle–even if he insisted he was fine they all knew the truth.  The grief was enough to send someone normally calm into a panicked frenzy–

He had no right to complain though.  He had helped cause this mess.  

That degrading thought stays heavily in his mind, distracting him enough to narrowly avoid a blade coming his way.  In that instance, he feels the crane pull away from him a shout tearing from his raw throat as he falls, the white blade clattering loudly against the ground.  

His fault. His fault.  His fault. His fault–

❛Everyone, retreat!❜  His orders are shouted out, watching as the other members of his party begin to pull away, clearing a path as he grabs the injured man and lets him lean against him.  The crane seems to struggle, eyes still glaring with fury at the enemy.  It took almost all his strength to pull the other with him as he retreats in the path carved by the other members of the party.  

He’s such a fool.

He couldn’t look them in the eye.  He had been stupid, getting caught up with an insecurity that didn’t matter in the end.  How could he ever make it up to them? 

The answer eludes him as his chest tightens at the sight of his master slumped over her desk, finally giving into sleep.  The sun rose slowly, signalling the start of a new day but his jaw clenches at the sight of his beloved master who probably had just fallen asleep.  

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.  

He berates himself in his head as he walks around the table, gloved finger brushing away his master’s dark locks as he looks at her face.  Streams of tears run down, and from the sight of dried areas of her paper it wasn’t the first time she had cried.  A sigh escapes, hands gently sitting her up before he lifts her.  She feels light and small in his arms as he adjusts her so one arm was under her knees and the other arm around her shoulders.  

 The tachi’s grip tightens around her as if afraid she would slip through her fingers.  He had to take her back to her room before the other blades saw her.  The whole citadel was worried, but none could draw her out of her office or room.  He had told them to respect her space but the anxiety was palpable.  

Since it was early morning, no one would be up but he still takes the roundabout way to her room avoiding the main halls as he makes his way to her room.  Tears still flow and he wishes he could stop it as he pulls her closer to his body.  

With how blind he was during the incident, he probably was better off wearing 2 eye patches. 

He reaches her room just in time as footsteps begin to fill the halls.  Her futon was still made and neat, so she probably hadn’t slept in it last night.  He gently places her down, pulling the blanket over her.  His fingers press against her face, thumbs trying to quell the river of tears; but unsurprisingly it didn’t stop.  

He didn’t have the right to cry like her.  He had been part of the problem.  

He slumps over her, forehead touching hers as his lone gaze shuts tightly not allowing any tears to pass.  His chest hurts, and he feel like something was trying to claw out of his throat and burst through.   

 ❛I'm sorry, Kaede-chan.❜

The tachi follows the other’s gaze up to the, squinting a little due to the bright sunlight.  Indeed, only puffs of cloud float by leisurely but none stood out to him.  They only seem to make the image of fog in the sky, or cotton candy maybe?  He was sure their master could give them tips since he caught her staring up at the sky when she was free.    

 ❛Maybe Nushi-sama could give us some tips later.❜  Mitsutada replies, his own chuckle following.  He was sure she’d probably decline and make them stare for themselves until something  forms.  ❛She looks up at the sky a lot.❜

While others held mixed feelings about his arrival, he was one of the few who supported the other’s entrance one hundred percent.  Maybe it gives him a chance to relieve himself of the gnawing guilt he felt when he sees the other’s small smile, or maybe it’s because it gives the story closure; he’s not quite sure, but it didn’t change his opinion.  

The azure tachi’s small words of encouragement was enough for him to return the smile.  Gold optic shifts from the sleeping form of the sage to the other with his own lips curling into a small smile.   

❛I’ll...do my best, Mikazuki-san.❜

Frustration curls his gloved fingers, his gaze shifting from the gold crescents that lie in the other’s deep gaze to the ground.  He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.  This feeling is a new experience for him and he takes it out on the tatami floor, eyes glowering down as his vexation grows in his chest.  

The other was right.  He had his duties that he had to carry out, but they could wait.  Nothing was more important to him than their master; he thought the other would understand that.  Tsurumaru could take over, or even the tenka goken that stood in front of him, reminding him of his duty.  They weren’t new to his position.   

 ❛I...won’t be able to focus on my duties until I check on Nushi-sama.❜  He replies back as he feels frustration build in him.  He didn’t need to explain why, they already knew why.     ❛I can’t send anyone out of the citadel anyway, not without her approval.❜  Would reasoning work?  The blade doesn’t want to look at the other’s expression, afraid his frustration would show--nothing ever went by the tachi unnoticed.   

 ❛I can’t leave her side.❜

‘ how could I ask for more ? ’

〖 燭台切光忠 〗

❛You can ask me for anything, and I’ll do it for you, Nushi-sama.❜  His words are immediate, his lone gold gaze staring at the sage with devotion in his eyes.  He means every word of it, vowing to himself quietly that his words were true; if he could he’d move the mountains if she asked.  He feels his cheeks turn red and he opes it doesn’t stand out too much since he liked keeping his cool around her.  

❛I’m here with this body to serve you, and only you.  Give me orders, and I’ll grant anything you wish for.❜

Here lies Shokudaikiri Mitsutada when he wakes up with the regret plus hangover.

His body moves (stiffly); and aftereffect of the repairing process.  While their bodies healed quickly, the muscle aches that came after always needed some stretching to get rid of it.  At the sound of her voice, he turns right away, and smiles at her (disapproving) stare.  

The sun was already sinking from the sky, so it was probably dinnertime, and with his master standing there with a tray of food he began to notice that his stomach was empty.

 ❛Good evening, Nushi-sama!  I was just doing some light stretches–It won’t do me any harm.❜  

He takes a few steps towards her, pausing as he takes the tray of food from her hands (gently).  He had been the last of his team to get repaired, and the last to wake up to an already empty repair room.  It was a (pleasant) sight since it meant everyone was feeling better after that tough battle.  

❛Have you eaten yet?  It’s not good to skip meals.❜

His gold gaze looks up (worriedly) as the crane continued to climb up the tree effortlessly.  It had been about 5 minutes, yet the other still continued to climb without any indication he would stop.  

They were on an expedition; why would they need to scout?  

But he bites his tongue since he wasn’t the appointed leader of this mission.   

❛ Are you sure you can get down from there, Tsuru-san?❜
