"You'll earn other piece of my heart if you throw some bacon on the mix." Ichitaiyo teased with a wink, following right behind.

"Good mindset. Let's be patient with each other." And she leant to chastely peck her temple. "Now, how about we have some breakfast in preparation for this long day, dear?"

"I think.the same. Believe it or not, it is going to.be my first time trying.. love." Ichitaiyo confessed, reaching to take a hand. "We'll both be learning and will make mistakes."

"To Utaku Minso," Suh-Hyun murmured, "A life ended too soon and lives left worse for it."

The Shinjo looked at the crowd, "This is probably a healthier way of mourning then most. Remembering the positives, how one lived and not how they died."


"Wholly agreed." After all, she hadn't elaborated ...

Ichitaiyo turned a fond smile. "Where did you last leave your steed? I.. think I can pull some favors, if things go my way."

"But if we meet on meido again because I got all my insides made outsides after a bike accident, I'm blaming you." She teased.

"Well, for what it's worth, that would make two groups that might assassinate me. First one got my parents, left me with the lung thing.." And Ichitaiyo huffed, put her hands on her pockets and gazed up into the stars.

"I guess that I asked for this harder life. Glad it is harder because I got ...

Ichitaiyo barked a hearty chuckle and leant forwards. "I mean.. do you? I.. think we have to live together for a good while before deciding something like that, but I'm in no hurry nor strong feelings. As far as it stands, I never expected to marry, given that the Kitsukis would not really support ...

"Aren't all mothers?" Ichitaiyo chuckled gently, rubbing an arm.

"I.. I think I am a good personable person, but I am kind of a horrid marriage match, at least until the Tamori deal is sorted."

"There is more space than ever before for the corrupt to hide and build. There could be planets we are not aware of, away from the eyes of the Empire.."

She gently bowed her head.

"And.. now I am cursed with this knowledge, am I not?" She murmured. "I.. have this chance to be at peace. To have ...

Ichitaiyo sighed, knowing that dread pooling on her gut. If duty had to be attended, she at least should stand up for, even if it was slow and dumbly, as lightweight as she was against the alcohol.

"The Tattoo'd Woman wasn't the highest leader..." Ichitaiyo concluded easily. "We might have broken ...

"Utaku Minso...she wasn't really a squadron mate, but was in the same carrier wing." Suh-Hyun's eyes were back on the stars, "A true Battle Maiden. Honorable, talented, beautiful. Seemed destined to be the sort of Ace whose face fills movie screens and posters. She rescued me once, downing a ...

"Oh you know, the typical gossipmongerers of the world: Moms." Ichitaiyo chuckled. "They make great information sources, if you ignore their conclusions."

"I-! Argh.." Ichitaiyo scrunched her face for a bit, pushing out some kind of irate energy before she sighed in defeat "I guess I cannot be mad over being called a friend, Friend."

"And I guess I'll have to make offerings to that Kami to have him keepong watch over you."

"Oh you inmaterial bastard!" Ichitaiyo cursed with a laugh, bending over and slapping her knee.

"You got me!"

"Oh, nice, nice! I guess the rumors will start rolling soon enough. How you got some super-badass Dragon hottie all for yourself." Ichitaiyo teased.

"No.. I don't think so. It just hadn't come up bit with her, after she took me into a range to practice my 'action woman' skills. She's seeing this other Kaiu too." Ichitaiyo replied lightly, before tilting her head. "I.. was supposed to keep it secret?"

Is there a problem if I write "Epilogue" solo scenes, taking place after the 12 days?

"Shoot." Ichitaiyo replied, starting to button up her blouse once again, not expecting any heavy to land.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to put you out." Ichitaiyo replied, taking the time to turn around and wink. After, she crawled to sit and began to reassemble herself for the outside world.

Ichitaiyo wiggled her rear in tease. "Hold onto that for me, let it be printed on your eyelids so you can imagine me until I'm back."

And then she pulled out the crumpled underwear in victory "Aha!"
