Her fingers brushed against the strands, picking just the right one to pluck out, it took little effort and soon she was unraveling it in her fingers, noticing the length disguised by that stubborn nature of wanting to curl in and on itself. “For how much longer do you plan on ignoring me? I can assume your senses are dim, but having your hair pulled out like that should get the attention of anyone, so I have to assume you have some reason to stay still? Maybe a hope that if you didn’t react to my presence I would simply go away?” She spoke with that same idle and monotone voice she has been using more lately, the only sign of emotion being a sigh as she adjusted her position ,her feet dangling down as at least she could use his clothes to cover as she sat on the ground “Not ignoring you, i simply thought you wanted some silence to judge my work, or i guess my hair for that matter, seeing as you just came in and took a seat without a word, i’d think of you as a maiden too anx…

Opening her eyes, once more it was just a blink for her, closing her eyes at night time, and waking up the next day with her body somewhat more energetic than before, but her body hadn’t had much rest, she knew more likely than not that occasion nights ago was the exception with the dreams she got for that night, but part of her was still bothered over the lack of anything this time too. As she realized she was already up and on her way to the bathroom, she chose to stop worrying over such matters, only picking up some soap and starting to clean off her face, her mind thinking about the servants having done a good job keeping all the rooms clean and in order, her mind wondering about each of them and how they came to work for her, rinsing her face and carefully using her towel to clean herself up while she went a bit deeper into the thought this time, as even if she had already gone over this specific servant more than a few times before, she started to think instead of his parents, h…

It was a nice day to spend around the village, not specially hot, but not cold either, just right to go on a walk, perhaps she might find something interesting to do, the past few days had been boring for her with little to really put her mind into. Walking across the insides of the mansion and on her way out, she saw the sight of one of the servants more than eagerly talking about the flowers she keeps, she wouldn’t wish such fate of being caught by her ramblings to anyone, but seeing who the victim was this time, she didn’t felt so bad after all, being the same man of last time who barely managed to keep up with her love for everything related to the plants care taking, and it wasn’t empty talk, after all she was the main servant taking care to these flowers she herself liked so much, and as such with another reassuring touch to the petals of the flower on her hair, she continued on her way out. Akyuu had been working non stop for a couple of days now, after the latest reports fr…

The clicking of wood against wood could be heard under the darkened sky above, only muffled by the wind blowing and the ruffling of the bushes 'The sudden worse weather, how Kosuzu has been busy and obviously hiding books the last time I visited her, and even Rinnosuke's apparition recently around the village... I can't help but know that another incident is brewing' Her steps quickened with the worry, or rather uncertainty over that which she is lacking information of, her mind thinking already of ways where she could catch Kosuzu off guard perhaps, dismissing any possible moral concerns just as quickly as they came up. With the clicking of her wooden sandals coming to a halt, her eyes drifted upwards, the scene was dangerous a man whose appearance could only be described as ‘rough’ stood in front of her, his bandaged body bleeding in a couple spots, and his eyes almost bloodshot from the obvious strain on her body. But as her eyes were drawn to him, the only words that could esca…
