Waking the Dead 2.0 || May 16, Shin Yamatai || Coming Home.
[He had been... vague, whenever they had asked him exactly where they were going. Lenneth had known the moment he had oh-so-casually mentioned a detour now that the Hounds were done with their route. It had been in her eyes.
At least she is loyal. At least she respected him enough to say nothing.
He leads the War Hounds through a forest in the far reaches of the island, and they end up stepping out to a waterfall. A little further down, along the river, there's a beautiful house there. It's been restored to its former glory, properly furnished, renovated and modernized wherever it had to be. There's a garage, for one.
He takes just one moment out take the sight of it in, and try not to think of the ghosts. It never gets easier, coming back here, and yet...
Turning to them with a smile now.]
So. This was my old house. I think we can take a break here for now.
[OOC Notes:
+ The Shinta House is your typical traditional Japanese home from like, centuries back - furniture is all old and traditional. Yes, there are photos from lots of different life times here and there; if you want deets, lemme know. There's a garden out back, a small training hall, and a path into the forest that actually leads to the graves of his parents.
+ Feel free to make your own threads if you guys want to explore on your own and talk to each other! You're also welcome to tag Hikaru's thread, which I've put down there just because.]

[Teasingly. He can only wonder over what she's going to end up thinking. This is Brianna, after all.]
no subject
[ Long pause, because she's going through a few things on the table and looking around the walls. ]
Uhm... You're... Super... Smart? And... You've had too much free time in the past...? You... Like... Books?
[ She sighs and faces Hikaru, then laughs. ]
Okay, no. I give up.
no subject
Well, you WERE right on those parts.
no subject
But anyone could have guessed that! I wanna be special. [ Pout pout pout. ]
no subject
You already are, regardless of what you know about me. I can tell you whatever you like to know, really.
no subject
[ Kyaaa~
She smiles at him, but looks down. Certain things have been bugging her... Should she...? ]
What's it like, Daddy? Being that strong and smart and everything?
no subject
[Sigh. Dying.]
Still, it can also get pretty lonely.
INSIDES CRYING HUHUHU
And okay, that trade-off part she must have known, but she doesn't want to press. ]
I can imagine, yeah. [ Then she leans her head on Hikaru, because she is an affectionate puppy. ]
I'll make sure you won't feel as lonely for as long as I can.
:'D
She's never going to see the way he hesitates, hand hovering just so, before reaching down to smooth her hair out.]
I know you will.
[The best ones always did, even when they inevitably ended up going ahead.]
