the aroma of thousands of flowers, sunlight warming their bodies from the slight spring breeze. was it truly the end of the long, unforgiving winter? or more importantly - was their journey already around halfway through? how unfortunate. it seemed as though gears were forcing them to keep moving forward to the inevitable, bitter end. she knew, more or less, of the fate the two of them were bound to, and while she had accepted it as fact, it had started to feel a little ... distasteful. 

she shook the doubts out of her mind, hoping to just focus on the now. the duo had concluded, or rather, the strategian had decided, that a detour from their sword searching would be a nice break for the both of them. enjoying the beginning of spring would certainly be a good way to get away from the pressure and stress of their mission. she had picked out a light yukata, decorated with intricate floral prints and pastel colors. 

                                                              “ shichika! ”

carrying a stick of skewered mochi in each hand, she rushed towards her lover with her newfound prizes. it was essentially the perfect spring day, with flowers in full bloom and civilians gathered by the riverside to enjoy the weather. she stretched out her arm, offering one of the mochi skewers as she approached. 

( yes, this is what she wanted to do. this is where she wanted to be forever. ) 

“ how is it? good, isn’t it? ” she didn’t even give him a chance to answer. “ of course, i picked out the best mochi i could find. i would never spend money on anything besides the best.” she walked ahead of him, as she habitually did, leading him through the crowds of people. “ there are lots of people out today. i wonder if the citizens of this city just walk around like this all the time. ” that's certainly what it seemed like, at least.

MANIWANI HOUOU

To be honest the maniwa ninja corps make up my least favorite characters in the Katanagatari series. And granted it has been years since I watched the series, but houou didn’t really stand out to me? “Immortal” characters are a fickle thing. But in fairness to Houou he’s definitely a badass. Anyone who can steal Emonzaemon’s face deserves serious props.

🦁 ; What is your current big obsession?

I don’t think I really have one right now? I’m currently itching for the switch version of hyrule warriors, but I’m not sure I can validate a full $60 pricetag for a game I mostly played before.

And yet.

Ugh.

I had so much fun with that game (far more than FE warriors) and all the new characters and content is so tempting. So.

I dunno.

Maybe we’ll see.

I think you could do Oshidori justice

send me a muse you’d like to see me play! || accepting !!

( After looking her up, she does seem like she’s up my alley as far as design + placement in the cast goes. Mayhaps I’ll give her a try once I watch Katanagatari! )

“This must be the infamous ‘Dr. Love’ machine. I heard rumors about it back in the Imperial Lands.” Funny, she always thought it was a living teigu of sorts…but nope, it’s just a soulless, expressionless machine that spits out results! Its cheap plastic screen is given a nudge with her toe. “The percentage is low. It makes sense, since we just met.” What a weird machine, though…maybe she’ll have to try her hand at dissecting it with Hinowa and Tobari later.

Touching Togame had become ritual-esque, arms wrap around her smaller frame in a warm embrace on the cool evening. As their time spent together grows longer, the smile quirking the swords lips soften to something more GENUINE, more LOVING. It just shows how their relationship has grown from one of guilt for what his father had done, to being able to imagine a future with the eccentric strategian.

                  this was alright, wasn’t it? 

enveloped in familiar arms, cradled against a warm chest she seemed to fit perfectly into -- this happiness, this bliss, was it okay to enjoy this? her chest ached, the pulling of her head and the pushing of her heart leaving her in the middle of a silent battle. she knew, after all, that this would not last forever. she had a plan, a ( strategy ) , one that involved her living on happily with or without her sword. 

                  he was her sacrifice, after all. 

                                                                        ( fall for me . ) 

the beginning of their journey seemed so distant, as the ending crept closer and closer. just a few more swords and their story would come to an end. she would live on, wouldn’t she? she had dreams, ambitions that she had suffered immensely for. she had chosen to take this road, as a woman who could only manipulate and harm. 

                                    but even so --- 

perhaps she was growing weak. because this warmth, this happiness - it almost brought tears to her eyes. she knew, she wouldn’t be able to let go in the end. spending months travelling with shichika had brought out something within her she had believed to be long g o n e . she had let herself slip up every now and then, letting her ( true ) feelings spill through. she would regret this. every mistake, every - miscalculation - would affect her future. it would cause her unthinkable pain, and she was all too aware of this. 

but here she would stay, in the embrace of the man ( she knew she had fallen for ) . the consequences would come later, the punishment, though harsh, would be worth it, wouldn’t it? perhaps she so desperately wanted to believe that ( love could conquer all ) ? 

she buries herself deeper against him, drowning herself in his scent. they had a long journey ahead, one of both tears and laughter. and she wanted to hold onto every moment of it.
