Of Princesses, Dragons, and Conquest

[ she's no stranger to the idea. In times of war and strife, the heads of factions would most certainly not remain idle. Takane had known, and yet, she would have expected someone responsible for Oshu's well-being not to go about making idiotically reckless moves. And perhaps any other girl would be able to set it aside, realizing that for all of his bravado and skill and experience, Masamune was only nineteen.

But for someone who behaved far more responsibly than people twice her age, that wasn't an acceptable excuse. Any opposition wouldn't have seen it as one.

And truthfully, Takane's not fond of how it felt, knowing he'd risked himself to the point of being bed-bound for days, that he should have known better, that her chest squeezed - aching and sharp - whenever she went in to change bandages and exchange cool cloths, that she'd felt so helpless. Kojuro has probably already lectured him, but she's not the type to remain silent when she has things of her own to say.

Masamune should be mobile today. She's carrying a bucket of water to one of the vegetable gardens before she abruptly changes her course to seek him out.

At which point she will oh so subtly block his path. ]

[ he's surprised, almost, to see her lecture her like kojuro did. she was usually of cryptic words; sometimes little words, but sometimes a sufficient amount of words with what seemed to be little meaning, yet... quite deep. but this was obvious, this speech--everything had been laid out in front of him and his first thought would maybe be something along the lines of look at her. kojuro would be proud if he wasn't so incredibly focused on the way she seemed to be-- well, affected.

he wasn't silly, or stupid. he wasn't oblivious to some things like yukimura was--and for all his hot-headedness and recklessness he seemed to know the effect it had. kojuro wouldn't let him leave without his acknowledgement of it. he had mentioned takane, and masamune had some semblance of what she was feeling, though at the end it could only be a guess (she really was so hard to pin down, yet at the same time not at all, perhaps because of their similarities--).

seeing it first hand was something else. ]


... Hah. You really know how to--
