Comments

[ open! ]

[ryuuhirameki]

[Kenshin hasn't been at morning practise for a couple weeks, recovering from the ordeal of Death City's attack and rescue mission. He's back now though,fully healed and looking perfectly cheerful—alternating between watching people's training (as usual) and meditating with his sword on the grass beside him. Say hello to the no-longer-hermited rurouni?]

[ open! ]

[shiromadoushi]

Good morning! [[Bakura's looking a touch out of breath as he's just finished his 2nd lap around the training grounds, and thus very pleased to have spotted someone to chat with.]]

[ryuuhirameki]

Ah, Bakura, good morning. [Kenshin opens his eyes and looks up at Bakura from where he's sitting] Energetic this morning, that you seem.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Gives a soft laugh, rubbing the back of his neck a little]] Not for very much longer! Mind if I join you a little while?

[ryuuhirameki]

Not at all. [he pats the ground next to him] This one has not been outside for a bit, so it will be nice to share the sun.

[tauborn]

[He doesn't want to disturb the meditating redhead, nor does he know why he's approached him or what he wants to say. But he sits down on the grass next to him anyway. Maybe he's just a little jealous of how peaceful the older man seems.]

[ryuuhirameki]

[Kenshin may no longer have the ability to sense presence by kenki, but he's still very much aware of his surroundings. He's aware that he has company, but doesn't immediately speak; when the silence is drawn out, Kenshin opens his eyes and looks over.

Ah.]

Takuto, good morning.

[They still hadn't spoken since the madness of two weeks before, had they?]

[tauborn]

[Was that really only two weeks ago? It feels like much, much longer.]

H-hi, Kenshin.

[He still doesn't know what he has to say to the man, but it's not a particularly good morning. It's just another difficult one.]

I-I'm not bothering you, am I?

[ryuuhirameki]

No, no. You're welcome to sit where you like, that you are.

[he's not going to push Takuto to speak, at least not yet, but it's obvious the boy isn't at ease. not that Kenshin can blame him, after they last faced each other—Kenshin himself is playing down the "silly" act he'd usually give. he'll breach the subject if Takuto doesn't]

[ open! ]

[ninjainviolet]

[The sight of the sword laying beside Kenshin is what draws Sheena over after her training. She's been trained in their use, and they are an official part of her role as Chief of Mizuho, but she still prefers hand-to-hand.]

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

[ryuuhirameki]

Not at all. [Kenshin doesn't get to his feet to greet her, but he does look up and smile] Is there something you need?

[ninjainviolet]

May I? [Sheena indicates where she's standing, asking if she could kneel.]

I was curious about the sword you have.

[ryuuhirameki]

[Kenshin touches the grass in front of him, an acknowledgment of her request to kneel. He's growing accustomed to inquiries about his sword: first in Meiji Japan, where they're outlawed, and then in Death City, where only a few carry non-human weapons. He offers it to her, sheathed and hilt-first]

It isn't worth much as a sword, for most.

[nofarplaneyet]

*He remembered seeing this fighter before. Auron nods toward him.*

[ryuuhirameki]

[Kenshin returns the nod, adds a smile. It's habit now to smile even with much on his mind; he does his best to shake the more worrying thoughts, at least long enough for a greeting.]

It's been a while since we have spoken, indeed it has.

[nofarplaneyet]

*nods* You make it through the attack all right?

[ryuuhirameki]

Not unscathed, but I am alive and all is well now, that it is.

[timelessummoner]

[Oh, it's that man Raidou had to fight when the Madness hit. He hadn't seen him since then -- between the Witch attack and being captured, he hadn't thought to find out if the other man had made it through the incident safely.

The detective hesitates, wondering if bringing up memories of the Madness is a good idea. After a moment, though, he approaches the rurouni while he's meditating.]

Pardon me. May I join you?

[ryuuhirameki]

[kenshin's memory of that time isn't entirely clear, made muddled by the black blood, but he remembers at least whom he fought. he's cautious when he looks up and sees who's speaking, but remains relaxed, at least physically. even knowing that not everyone was at their wits' height during the event, there's no telling what raidou's thoughts might be.

he nods, touching the ground beside him]

Of course.

[timelessummoner]

[He sits on the grass, setting his practice sword on the ground beside him. This is a good spot for meditating, he notes.]

One hopes the past week has been kind to you.

[ryuuhirameki]

Very much so. There's been peaceful time enough to recover, for now.

[just touching lightly on the past events, not quite getting there]

[tabasco]

[for some reason, mitsuba gravitates towards the individuals who give her the most sense of familiarity. for now, she's gotten the hint from the clothings of a couple few--the traditional japanese wear, and she was not a stranger to how a katana looks like, or one to be intimidated by one.]

[walking by the rurouni, she offers a courteous bow as is the proper way she would have it.]

Good morning, samurai-san.

[ryuuhirameki]

[kenshin bows back in greeting, but as soon as he straightens he lifts his hands and shakes his head]

This one is not a samurai. I'm merely a rurouni, that I am.

[tabasco]

A rurouni?

[she questions with a tilt of her head, curious about the term he's used to refer to himself as.]

[ryuuhirameki]

A wanderer, though perhaps not as accurate a term here. [...or even back it tokyo, really, since he named kamiya dojo his home. hm. he really needs to come up with another word for himself.] My name is Kenshin.
