Fifth Feather ƸӜƷ Voice / Action

[amberguardian]

[Kohaku has been quiet for a decent amount of time to think. And with all that time to think, comes with thinking about everything that happened the first time she was here. With that time today, she props her journal sets for the journal by a nearby tree, knowing that it's on, but says nothing for a few minutes. It's almost impossible for her to ask this question...She won't talk too loud, but it's enough for people to hear her.]

Is it...Would it be considered strange for a person that can only fall in love once, for any sort of reason...to fall in love here, then back at home? I've been thinking about it for a while. Every way I think about it, it sounds like it shouldn't happen...

Oh, uhm...I may not have asked that right...if you have any questions about it, just ask.

...I know it's a weird question...maybe I shouldn't have asked...

[She honestly expects no one will answer, so she picks up her journal, and that's when she starts walking around town. But not in any normal sense of the word. Today, she actually looks more like an angel. Wings and floating around. (Though sometimes taking a random step, but that doesn't do anything. It just makes her look a little odd.

But while not in town, she can be found hopping over the bridge, and if not seeing her then, she can be found on the outside of the bridge, making ice swirls with any water she can pick up and set on the edge of the bridge.]

They won't?

[Someone not falling in love is pretty strange to think about.]

I know I can't, some emotions are still hard to understand. [One of them being love, and some people have had to tell her that.] But maybe I should've thought about all this earlier.

[ahappylie]

[He smiles at her question, not really wanting to answer it. Some would never know love, and to him, he knew it wouldn't happen. He would die too soon and leave no family behind.]

And maybe now is when you're ready to start facing your feelings.

[He holds his hand out under one of the branches of the tree.]

The branches never grow before the trunk is sturdy enough to support it, after all.

[amberguardian]

[Is he going to use everything she makes against her?]

Maybe...but thinking about it just makes me want to hide.

[ahappylie]

[It's what he does. He pulls his hand back and goes back to looking out over the water.]

Is that why you left the house so early today?

[amberguardian]

I didn't notice the time...I just wanted to be outside.

[ahappylie]

[He nods and smiles a little sadly, looking down at the flowing river below.]

You can't hide from yourself forever.

But that doesn't mean you need to push yourself before you're ready.

[He looks over to her.]

If you ever need to talk about it, Kohaku-chan, I'll always listen.

[amberguardian]

This isn't really hiding. Finding me in the flower shop would have been.

I thought playing with water, and thinking was the best idea.

[Then she can go back and forth between the two, but the flower shop...all she would think about would be the plants.

And at that, she smiles a bit.]

Thank you.

[ahappylie]

That is the best idea, yes.

[He smiles back and her.]

I'll make you honey and milk again tonight, if you'd like. For when you feel ready to come home.

[amberguardian]

[She has sort of learned how to deal with things since she was last here!]

...I can make it if you don't want to.

[ahappylie]

[Sort of is a step!]

Oh, but i enjoy making it---

Unless I'm doing it wrong. Maybe you can give me pointers?

[amberguardian]

No, that's not it, you make it just right. I just had to make it myself back home.

[She pretty much took care of everything back home for hundreds of years.]

I would like some when I'm back home though.

[ahappylie]

It's been a long time since I had someone to make things for. [He sounds apologetic.]

But alright, I'll have it waiting for you when you come back.

[He looks at the tree she's making and smiles.]

Until then, good luck. [With her tree and her thinking.]
