#Dwyer VC: 'okay fine I'll climb up but only because I'm not tired of you'

@sweptawxy​ from this

This tree in particular, was one of the few she could climb to get away from everyone. It was true, the pressures of being royalty could get to someone. Especially someone as antisocial as Mitama. The priestess and Princess laid back against the dark wood of the trunk, looking at the leaves and thinking how she was like one. A leaf was tethered to another force, another sense of duty, just like she was.

She heard someone below but opted to ignore them until they spoke first. The tired and annoyed voice of none other than Dwyer, the son of the annoying butler that her family somehow had affection for.

“Alone in moonlight all is quiet and shadows -they are long and black.”

“Do you wish to join me?”

Once again, Mitama seemed to have a poem in her mind...or perhaps on her heart instead. Dwyer supposed both worked in tandem to speak her thoughts from time-to-time. He didn’t quite have the same mind for haiku that she possessed. In fact, were he to try to write, he had to imagine it would be rather to-the-point and boring. It was a good thing that the mere idea sounded far too taxing to him then. At least he knew to stay within his own limitations whereas he could think of several who did not, although Mitama was not among that number, herself.

“Hmm...” Dwyer’s gaze shifted a little, moving from left to right, almost as though he was assessing the large branch she had taken up a spot upon...which was exactly what he was doing. “...I suppose it is surprisingly accommodating, even for two people. I think I understand why you would choose this place.” Surely not the first time she’s been here. It seemed he was welcome company to her, thankfully. “If you don’t protest, I believe I will, though if you would offer assistance in either telling me your pathing as I go up or pointing to where I need to climb, it would be welcome. I’m certain I lack your imagination in regard to climbing trees or really nearly anything that would be deemed climbable.”
