[ here, have a Kenshin drinking tea on his porch. ]

Many have gone as swiftly as they arrived. Perhaps this is the normal ebb and flow of such a place. My house has become one short, my neighbor gone as well. Such is life, filled with losses and gains, ups and downs much like the ebb and flow of a battlefield.

Though new faces have arrived, new names upon the contact list, not a one which I recognize. I find myself longing for word of Echigo or even the status of Japan, something to set my heart still. I shall simply continue to wait.

For those who know not of me, I am Uesugi Kenshin, daimyo of Echigo. A pleasure. May Bishamonten watch over you.

*Selphie sees the video and, recognising where Kenshin is, she slips from her room to go see him. She meets him on the porch, cuddling a huge cuddly rabbit to her chest. She just smiles at him before taking a seat beside him and huddling close*

[ he offers a soft smile in return, placing an arm around her shoulders, drawing her near. He's happy to see she's still here and hadn't been a casualty of the bubble ]

*Selphie snuggled closer still, resting her head on his shoulder as he put an arm around her shoulder*

I don't think I like this place so much anymore...

*She mumured softly, but her lips were so close to his ear that she only needed to whisper*

Losses are an unfortunate aspect of life. Those remaining simply need find the strength to continue on and help prevent any future loss.

[ this more pertains to the battlefield. Kenshin's ruthless and relentless on the battlefield, however his strategies work to create the fewest losses on his own behalf, and oftentimes on behalf of others by forcing surrender.

Though it still has some merit to his reasoning. ]

*Selphie moved an arm to wrap around his waist*

Kenshin... You can't go away. I don't think I could stay here if you went away.

While I long for Echigo, I could not dishonor you so and abandon you. I am here to stay.

*Selphie smiled into his shoulder. She sat still for a moment before lifting her face only slightly, and pressing her lips to his jaw in a faint kiss*

[ He makes no movement to push her away or even deny her such an affection. She reminds him of Kasuga in some aspects, though a much more outgoing and bolder Kasuga, a little bit of familiarity which sets his heart at peace. ]

*Selphie sits up slowly and stretches her arms above her head, the big cuddly bunny nearly rolling off her knees*

Let's go for some icecream!

[ Kenshin raises his eyebrows at the odd combination of words. ]

Ice cream?

[ though it's more than likely cold with ice in its name and he does like cold things... ]

Uh huh! It's a cold dessert and you can get it in any flavour you want - even chocolate.

*She scoops up the cuddly toy and leaves it on the porch*

[ a frozen treat. Now that's promising. ]

I would be honored to join you for such a treat.

[ he smiles, rising to his feet. ]

Shall we?

*There's definitely more of a spring in her step now that Selphie has something to look forward to. She skips away from the porch, happily leading the way to the ice cream parlour in town*

[ Kenshin follows close as to not lose sight of her. He's pleased to see her spirits rise once again. ]

*La, la, la, they get there and Selphie picks a nice outdoor table. It's not too cold outside, just pleasant enough. The waiter waves over to her because, yup, they recognise their regular customer. Selphie just nods for the usual, handing a menu over to Kenshin - she knows all her favourites on there so doesn't need to look*

[ he glances over the menu. He doesn't recognize many of the flavor names or what he's even looking at. Except for maybe a small handful. ]

Green tea ice cream, if you will.

[ he hands the menu back to the waiter with a slight nodding bow. ]

*Selphie just giggles at his choice and pulls a little face*

Well - at least that one's nicer than green tea!

*She glances away and looks around the place, trying to think of something positive to talk about*

[ He smiles. ]

Sweet green tea is a favorite of mine. Green tea and a sweet treat seemed like a nice combination.

*Looks like Selphie was a favourite customer of the ice cream parlour! The waiter was over very quickly with their icecreams - each looks really big with extra flakes of chocolate and wafers in. Selphie smiled and thanked the waiter before quickly diving into her own - peppermint choc chip!*

[ he watches Selphie for a moment, observing the proper way to eat such a dish - like a frozen bowl of soup - and mimics the process, finding the treat quite tasty. ]

Quite a delicious treat this is.

Isn't it, just?

*She continued shoveling the ice cream*

So - did you find a nice lady at the ball?

Yuna-dono requested I dance with her. She was quite nice.

Ooh! Yuna's lovely! Are you gonna go dancing with her again?

Date: 2011-02-25 10:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] echigo-wargod.livejournal.com
Perhaps. Dancing was rather enjoyable, like the ebb and flow of a synchronized battle. Quite beautiful it was.

*Selphie smiled brightly at him from across the table before turning her attention back to the icecream. She ate it slowly, thinking how nice it would be for Kenshin to have a Yuna around*

[ Kenshin returns to his ice cream as well. He's pretty sure Selphie is attempting to once again set him up with someone, but he has more pressing matters occupying his mind than marrying: the well-being of Echigo, the state of Japan, the state of his own house right now, his lack of a good rival. Much more important. ]

So...you like the icecream, right?

*Selphie watches him for a moment as she eats her own icecream, making sure that he's enjoying it*

I do. It is quite different from any other food I have eaten.

*Selphie laughed a little before picking out a wafer and munching at it slowly*

It's so much more fun eating ice cream with a friend!

Indeed it is a food best enjoyed in the company of others.
