"you don't sound very enthusiastic." ( from sana, for tsugumi! )

reign prompts | @barrenstars approaches tsugumi!

" would you? " tsugumi shoots back, a half-smile on her lips as she busies herself with looking at some of sana's most recent work. " i moved to kyoto to get away from my family, and here i am agreeing to let one of my cousins -- who i hardly know, by the way -- move in with me and to mentor her. i have no idea what to expect. "

miyuna isn't entirely unknown to her. the jinja have often gossiped to tsugumi about potential successors and promising sorcerers, and as one of the few family members with the clan technique, miyuna has come up more than once. but whispered words behind closed doors and a few brief conversations aren't much to go off of when intending to live and train together. tsugumi wonders if she's made a mistake, if she's honest.

the sorceress turns to look at sana, pointing down at a pair of tonfa. " these are pretty. the carving must have taken quite a while. "
