Yatogami Kuroh | Tsukikage Yuri | 062

[arbitrament]

[It's been a long journey to this city. Not that it's his destination--Kibougahana City, was it...?--but nonetheless, he can't deny that it might not hurt to take a short break. Ichigen-sama always did say that he needed to take it easy sometimes so he didn't overdo it, because that wouldn't help anyone.

Except...more poetic.

Because Ichigen-sama is the most poetic of all.

He's taken to the rooftops like batman the slightly anti-social soul he is, but at some point, he notices that there's this old lady who needs help crossing the street, and leaving her to do it on her own would just not be honorable at all, and then there's a cat in a tree and it reminds him of Neko a bit, and then--

He's walking along, passing by a school, and honestly feeling very satisfied with how the day went (even if he hasn't gotten any closer to the end of his journey, sometimes it's the journey itself that is really important, right?) when he steps on something.

Something that goes crunch.

He freezes. This was clearly the first meeting that was meant to be.]

[ ... Why does he look so disappointed and why does she feel bad when he's the one who stomped on her glasses in the first place goodness.

She can just imagine her partner laughing at her predicament, and the way she finally concedes with a second sigh. ]

It's growing dark. I suppose I should watch my footing.

[arbitrament]

[Goodness... but. That's something, actually. He wasn't really expecting her to rescind on that, but he's also not complaining. He'd certainly feel better knowing that she gets home safely. So he stands, reaching to offer her a hand up.]

Of course. Allow me to escort you.

[socolognely]

Then-- [ Some time ago, she would have refused assistance. Now... well, she's changed, and she'll place her hand in his, rising to her feet. ] Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tsukikage Yuri.

[arbitrament]

[Ah. Ah yes, introductions. Here we go. He straightens further, as if his posture wasn't always straight enough, and--]

I am Yatogami Kuroh, vassal of the late Seventh King, Miwa Ichigen-sama.

[He's so proud....... how could you ever crush that pride.]

[socolognely]

[ ... This person. ]

Seventh King? [ Vassal??? ]

[arbitrament]

Yes.

[don't you know what that is......because he's sure not explaining.]

Though...

[... Hesitation is unusual for him, honestly, especially in this sort of way, but... his gaze shifts, looking at something beyond her.]

I also serve as a vassal of the Silver King, Isana Yashiro.

[Still--now and forever, even if he's not here, and may never be here again. But he shakes that from his head, turning his attention back to her.]

Tsukikage Yuri. [Yes, that's her name.] I will properly escort you to your home before I continue forward.

[socolognely]

[ she has no clue what he's talking about, but she'll just have to roll with it. After all, if she'd said "I also act as a legendary warrior, tasked with the protection of humanity's hearts so that the Tree that supports them may grow strong and nurture the world"-- well, that'd be more information than he'd provided, but he'd likely be just as confused.

It also isn't her business, and it's something clearly personal for him, so she simply nods and dusts her skirt off, turning in the direction of home. ]

Thank you, Yatogami-san.

[It's a confusing thing, when anime series meet.

But Kuroh is willing enough to go along with it, nodding simply. He takes it very seriously, after all. He'll make sure that she stays safe and sound and doesn't fall into any holes!! or!! anything!!

Homeward bouuuuund.]
