adrien would have such a hard time actually owning a cat because he would know how bad it is for the cat and the environment to let it just roam free outside but then his other option is keeping the cat locked inside the house and what if it feels trapped? what if it’s isolated? what if it hates being stuck in the house??? he can’t do that. what kind of cat father would he be.

But then…there’s Osha. 

Osha, who leans into him in the shelter of a doorway from the rain on Jabiim, caught in bad weather while buying necessities. Without even thinking, like a reflex he’s had for years, he curls his arm around her, tucking her in close to his side and away from the rain as they wait for the downpour to subside. She inhales, sharp and quiet, the arm not pressed to his side reaching up to touch his coat.

They both look at eachother, a little shocked at their placement, and neither move to change it.

He smiles. It pulls at the corners of his mouth before he can stop it. He watches as her eyes soften, her weight settled comfortably against him, and she smiles too. Her fingers tangle in the fabric of his coat, like she finally had permission.

(she always did)

They both turn away as her cheeks flush, looking at the sodden sky as they wait.

Храм Изумрудного Будды в Бангкоке, Таиланд.

Храм Изумрудного Будды – это одна из главных достопримечательностей Большого Королевского Дворца, некогда бывшая в собственности короля и его семейства, а сегодня ставшая достоянием народа Таиланда. Тайцы называют его Ват Пхра Кео (Wat Phra Kaeo). Храмовый комплекс занимае�� площадь около 55 га в историческом центре Бангкока. Возведение шедевра тайской архитектуры началось в период правления Рамы I, основателя династии Чакри.Этот храм был построен, как неотъемлемая часть Дворца, и раньше был святая святых королевского семейства. Только самые знатные и приближенные к монарху люди вправе были сюда ходить. И сейчас никто не может зайти с парадного входа, кроме них.

В этом храме находится Изумрудный Будда, перед которым каждый новый тайский король дает клятву верности своему народу, восходя на трон. Эта королевская традиция началась с Рамы I и остается неизменной до настоящего времени. Дотрагиваться до Будды может только король Таиланда. А вытирать пыль с него разрешено исключительно ему или наследному принцу. Всем остальным прикасаться к статуе запрещено, это расценивается как святотатство. Кроме того, трижды в год король одевает Будду в различные, шитые золотом одежды. Считается, что данный ритуал должен принести народу страны процветание и благополучие, а его государству и монарху – могущество. Каменная статуя божества, сидящего в позе лотоса, имеет высоту 66 см и ширину – 48,3 см. Относительно материала, из которого она изготовлена, существуют разные версии: изумруд, нефрит или жадеит. Нет единого мнения и в вопросах об авторстве, о времени и месте изготовления статуи.

Помимо статуи Будды в храме можно увидеть впечатляющие и интересные произведения искусства. В отличие от Изумрудной статуи, другие статуи приглашают посетителей подойти поближе, сделать подношение и даже прикоснуться, чтобы завоевать удачу, успех или любовь. Другие экспонаты на территории включают библиотеку, содержащую сотни древних священных писаний, специальные настенные росписи и модель храма Ангкор-Ват в Камбодже.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the main attractions of the Grand Royal Palace, once owned by the king and his family, and today has become the property of the people of Thailand. Thais call it Wat Phra Kaeo. The temple complex occupies an area of ​​about 55 hectares in the historical center of Bangkok. The construction of a masterpiece of Thai architecture began during the reign of Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty. This temple was built as an integral part of the Palace, and used to be the holy of holies of the royal family. Only the most noble and close to the monarch people had the right to go here. And now no one can enter through the main entrance except them.

This temple houses the Emerald Buddha, before which each new Thai king takes an oath of allegiance to his people, ascending the throne. This royal tradition began with Rama I and remains unchanged to this day. Only the King of Thailand can touch the Buddha. Only he or the Crown Prince is allowed to wipe the dust off it. Everyone else is forbidden to touch the statue, as this is considered sacrilege. In addition, three times a year the King dresses the Buddha in various gold-embroidered clothes. It is believed that this ritual should bring prosperity and well-being to the people of the country, and power to its state and monarch. The stone statue of the deity, sitting in the lotus position, is 66 cm high and 48.3 cm wide. There are different versions of the material from which it is made: emerald, nephrite or jadeite. There is no consensus on the authorship, time and place of the statue's manufacture.

In addition to the Buddha statue, you can see impressive and interesting works of art in the temple. Unlike the Emerald Statue, other statues invite visitors to come closer, make offerings, and even touch them to gain good luck, success, or love. Other exhibits on the grounds include a library containing hundreds of ancient scriptures, special wall paintings, and a model of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple.

Nanami likes to go with the flow when he's on vacation. He's not huge on planning out every single hour of his day with some activity or event. Sure, he'll book something here or there, mark certain places to eat, major landmarks he should probably visit. But he's isn't always go go go. Some days, most days really, he just wants to relax on the beach, feel the breeze on his face, listen to the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shore. He wants to dig his feet into the sand, feel the coarseness of it between his toes, bask in the heat of the sun until vitamin D is surging through his veins.

Most of all, he wants to enjoy all of this with you right beside him. You'd smear sunscreen on his back, a spot he always used to neglect until he met you. He'd hold your hand gently during a little stroll on the beach, waiting for the sun to seep into the distant horizon. The two of you would cheers each other at a cute little cabana bar, cocktails with tiny umbrellas in hand, sharing a tasty appetizer together.

He always loved to travel, but getting to do it with you has made it all the more special. To be able to share his bliss with somebody else, someone who understands him down to his very core...well, nothing can be better than that.
