Genji didn't dare step too close, he kept his distance, not looking at the two people directly and focusing mostly on Mikuni. He did well when it came to talking to them and calming them down and it seemed he also used a bit of his magic to help the man with his injuries. They seemed overjoyed, rightly so. Genji didn't know how this happened, but it was probably just the wheel getting stuck somewhere and tipping the whole thing over. They were unlucky it seems and it was yet to show if they were…

Genji wasn't opposed to helping people, nor did he derive any joy from seeing others suffer, he simply did believe that most of the time he did more harm than good, proven once more with what happened at the monestary. If they were seen it was easier for their pursuers to find them and maybe they'd harm these people to for aiding them, not stopping them, or whatever they could come up with. Still, Mikuni was already talking to the crying woman holding the mans hand who was visibly in pain. Genji…

Rain glaubte, dass es eben doch genau darum ging, aber er ließ das Thema fallen, das Nayantai mit Niemandem besprechen wollte. Er fragte sich, ob wenn er denn seine alten Freunde wiedertraf, er sich ihnen anvertrauen würde und er fragte sich ebenfalls, ob Nayantai wirklich glücklich mit Rain war. Natürlich drehte sich nicht alles um ihn, aber wenn er ihm nicht im Geringsten helfen konnte, was sollte er dann tun? Rain wollte Nayantai nicht an sich fesseln, weder an diesen Ort, noch auf einer emot…

Mikuni seemed surprised that Genji asked for his own opinion and feelings and it took him a while to formulate an answer. Genji waited patiently for him to make up his mind, but he did believe that he answered not for himself, but to make Otoha happy. She was his goddess after all, while it was hard for Genji to see her as such when she didn't act like one around him and when the feelings he recalled for her were much too normal and as if he knew her all his life. In a way Mikuni made him feel l…

Lianyu was used to spending his day in silence, just guarding over a door or hallway, never speaking to anyone. Why would anyone have spoken to him? He was like a piece of furniture, serving his purpose, but he wasn't regarded as a human when he worked. Not treated badly, just as if he wasn't around. The Emperor however had an interest in him for whatever reason, at least once the servants all left and they were alone. Lianyu still stood by the door as the Emperor started asking more and more, l…

Lianyu listened for a whole while, until Haoze sent him to bed. He wished he would simply stay, but didn't voice that in any way. They felt so far apart right now and even though asking him to being tea was just a ruse to be able to be alone with him, he felt bad for ordering him around. Haohao sat up first, forcing Lianyu to do the same and look at him. "Maybe this will not be my home for long.", he let out with a fleeting smile. His friend was already about to leave, up on his two feet and by …

"Don't worry, I won't convince him with words. A silly thought came over me and I suggested a tournament to the Emperor. I am vein at times I know, confident that I will win, but ai might not and will have lost my new job very quickly. I don't know what came over me today, simply speaking my mind to him, even sharing his table for a talk. I must have gone crazy for a few hours today." Maybe drunk on the power he'd randomly been given, or maybe he wanted the Emperor to reconsider, to not throw hi…

"Darum geht es glaube ich nicht. Du kannst das alles nicht für immer ignorieren.", erklärte Rain, auch wenn er wusste, dass Nayantai sich ihm nicht anvertrauen wollte. Das war okay, das musste er nicht, wenn er sich dazu nicht bereit fühlte, aber mit irgendjemandem musste er sprechen, auch wenn es nur ein Rabe war den er irgendwo aufgabelte, oder ein Fisch, den er danach verspeisen würde und der niemandem davon erzählen konnte. Rain wusste nicht weiter, Nayantai einen Tritt in den Hintern zu ver…

"No need to apologize. I know you do what you can and nobody prepared you for this... Otoha wants to come with me, but what about you? I'd feel much better if I could leave you somewhere safe and set out to find what she asked on my own." But he wouldn't be able to protect them if he wasn't around and Otoha didn't seem like she wanted to be housed by this order anymore. Around him they weren't safe either however. For now he was fine, the curse still dormant, but it would return. He coud only ho…

"I feel like turning this down would be the wrong move.", Lianyu admitted. He never wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps, but right out refusing the Emperor seemed silly. Titles didn't mean much to him, most of his masters were only dubbed ones after they've proven themselves so he ought to do the same, not by simply being around however. On the other hand, a higher title meant his relationship with Haohao became more difficult. "Even more reason for him to try to protect him from a guard h…

"I guess I should prove myself then, earn my place besides being an annoyance for Advisor Pei." Lianyu was confident in his abilities, he trained since he was a child and his father didn't want a son, but a hero. He didn't believe to be one, but he had more training and more discipline than most others enlisting in the army or as a guard at the palace. Often times they were mere farmers losing their land to nature and trying to still feed their families, though the palace was filled with soldier…

Telling Haohao the truth in the end shocked even him for a little while. "Pretty much. Advisor Peis soldiers weren't good enough for the little Tiger and I stood guard at the door. He picked me to spite him, I played along, but now this got much more serious than I thought it would be.", he explained, somewhat taken aback by Haohaos carefree laughter, but at the same time it was to be expected of him. He always had a good mood and it was hard to stop him when he had an idea. When they started ta…

For a while Lianyu sat down, looking out at the vast garden, the view only stopped by the tall walls protecting the inner court. The panels were open now, letting in a soft breeze and the songs of the birds calling the palace their own. He let out a sigh, somewhat surprised at his brazenness that netted him a promotion rather than the loss of his head. The Emperor was quick to get rid of anyone just looking at him the wrong way and yet Lianyu simply spoke his mind and gave his demands. How silly…

"It is beautiful though. Perhaps Your Highness will travel it one day.", Lianyu answered sternly. He enjoyed his time traveling, more so than the training he received. His pilgrimage from master to master was the most enjoyable part of his journey, despite having to sleep in the open one too many times. "I did. If it was up to me I doubt I would have become a soldier, but running away would have meant my death and now it is what I do best.", he answered the Emperors question truthfully. Maybe he…

"A king is only as strong as the amount of people believing in him.", Lianyu imparted, one of his masters said it, the former Emperor wasn't beloved everywhere either, especially since he didn't produce a single heir within these walls with at least one of the many concubines he owned. This Emperor likewise seemed to take little interest in them, most were let go after his father died anyhow, with the Tiger too young to enjoy their services, now though the halls and rooms were still somewhat emp…

"I wouldn't go that far Your Highness.", Lianyu was quick to answer. The second most important person? He was supposed to keep him save, but surely there were other more capable people. However, serving him, protecting him, this was what Lianyu always was supposed to do according to his father and he never had much of a choice. So be it then, albeit it being ironic he wound up in this position when he never strove for it neither was it his wish nor this he try with his actions. He wondered what …

Lianyu has been asked a question and he answered it truthfully. His father would have probably broken his arm for his answer, but the Tiger seemed amused at the very least. The contract was amended and soon enough handed back. Lianyu looked over the changed passages, thoroughly so, before reaching for the ink to write his name in the empty space. "I agree to these terms.", he answered, all his demands were met, he couldn't complain. After his name was added in, he took out his families seal to s…

One needed to tread carefully around the little Tiger and Old Pei knew when to leave with his tail between his legs. The Emperor himself soon enough got up and started to leave the room. Lianyu promptly followed him as was his new duty. They walked some narrow hallways, only their steps cutting the silence until they arrived in a room Lianyu has never been in before. He followed the Emperor inside, closed the door behind himself and positioned himself there. There was some bustling of papers bef…

Es war nur allzu offensichtlich, dass Nayantai mit sich zu kämpfen hatte und Rain fühlte sich miserabel. Jetzt da sie sich eigentlich verständigen konnten schienen sie mehr aneinander vorbeizureden als in Fhaergus als Nayantai dort angekommen war. Sie beide teilten ihre Gefühle, auch wenn sie ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen gemacht hatten und doch wussten sie beide wie es war eingesperrt zu werden und frei sein zu wollen. Rain fühlte sich immer schlecht ihre beider Leben zu vergleichen, hatte …

Lianyu lowered his head while the young Tiger and Advisor Pei had one of their fights. If this continued the little kitten would lose all support in this court and if Lianyu gained this post for more than a day to spite the old man, his life would only get more difficult. There was nothing he could say or do as he was talked about like he was a thing, as if he was only his sword and nothing else. This was silly, to say the least, but he wanted to keep his head on his shoulders for now. Finally h…
