[ he kisses him back. and it is really odd, how much attention he has to give to being so very careful. the aching reminder that tsuru was not there when something could have gone wrong is so very present.
oh, how the nation would react if they saw how mikazuki was marred. ]
[ . . . he laughs faintly at that, and brings up their interlaced hands. he shifts them ever so slightly so he can still hold onto tsuru's - but lifts so that he can press a kiss to the inside of tsuru's wrist.]

History is, supposedly, known. We are meant to protect what is past, and what is certain. But now - how shall these fates find their conclusion? What a curious combination.

Mikazuki Munechika? Sounds like a troublesome fellow.
no subject

I am beginning to regret it.
[getting stabbed.]
no subject
[ yeah!!!! ]
no subject
I wonder if this too is a part of being romantic.
The wish to have you in every way I can.
no subject
[ it's nice to hear of mikazuki's wants, besides tea and peace. ]
But I think it is. I feel the same about you.
no subject
Fufu...
How curiously we grow into these bodies.
no subject
[ their desires, for power, for their country, for love. ]
no subject
[like they've had these bodies for a While now and it's still
so much]
no subject
[ he can learn less ]

[thoughtfully,]
It is remarkable... how there are more hues of sorrow and rage to be found.
no subject
[ instead of hidden away behind a hood. ]

I wonder if Hua Cheng, Cloud Strife, and Lup encounter the same.

And so, my crane, what part do you suppose we ought to play?
