When Kia and Kosy get... partner-y

[ it's become something of a thing that no one, out of all the men or the good people of Oshu, has ever seen Takane sleep. Of course, they've mostly assumed that she does sleep, like any normal person, but there's been some doubt. At night, she's rarely in bed. In fact, that's usually when she tends to wander, and looking over at her at any given time of the day has her gazing back, serene and alert.

Tonight is seemingly no different. The men are snoring, the animals are asleep on their feet, and Takane is outside. It's incredibly late.

There is, however, one minor difference. While the moon is still present and Takane is indeed seated out there in full view of it and mostly sheltered by the enclosure, she's not standing and gazing up at it. Instead, her usual posture has been compromised by an unusual slump and the support of a nearby post. Her head's chosen to rest against that, while one hand settles limply in her lap.

Her eyes are closed.

Yes, folks. Miracle of miracles, Shijou Takane is actually asleep. ]

[ he almost expected her to wake up. at the same time, however, he's glad she hadn't--if she was letting her guard and mystery down enough to sleep in front of him, it might've been for some reason. and of course, he can't deny that it's a bad sight. there's a bit of a amusement at the fact she trusts him enough to show that, but also some respectful acknowledgement.

. . . this isn't the usual place to sleep, but he doesn't wake her just yet. someone sillier might think or say that she had been crying as a result of missing her place back on the moon, with that slight redness there on her eyes. then again, those types of people might not be sharp enough to notice anything at all.

he really think it's just like her. ]

[ and this is precisely why she trusts him. He can be full of reckless abandon and give his retainer cause for headaches, but he assumes nothing beyond what he expects from himself. And that in itself renders him able to understand her far better than most.

Not that Takane would ever actually say that, but Masamune most likely already knows. For now, she's still comfortably (as comfortable as one can get in this position) inclined against the pillar. ]
