[D6 ME] Two Black Sheep walk into a Restaurant (closed)

"That'll depend on the scheme.. But I hope to end in some kind of security position, or maybe be on lease with the Magistry, or be some kind of private sleuth." Ichitaiyo replied, humming about the would be future. She leant on a hand and peered into the man. "How about you? What is your plan for the future?"

He took a longer sip as the waiter popped into the room to bring them more drinks of whatever was ordered. He simply supplied Ryo with more water.

"Well I could see you doing well with either of those options. The Kitsuki are legendary investigators, I'm sure anyone would be lucky to have you as their yojimbo."

He gave a small shrug "For me? Well I suppose keep doing what I've been doing. I have.....a lot to make up for and so I'm doing my best to give back little by little."

"Make up for something? What would you have to make up for?" Ichitaiyo asked softly, knowing what was a thread granted, and konwing when pulling hard could hurt. She placed both her hands on the glass of water.

His eyes darted to the table, he hadn't needed to say it, he wanted to talk about it but also didn't all at once.

"It's the vibe I got from you when we met. We both have done things we aren't proud of. Yours was in service to your Lord you can at least cling to that, you merely would do what you were ordered to like a good samurai should."

He took a long breath "I....I did things for no one but myself. For years I acted recklessly, selfishly, brought nothing but shame to my family. It is only for the love they bore me that I am not ronin now. Simply exiled to this tranquil planet where I do my best to build my name anew."

Ichitaiyo held a silence for some moments as she mulled those words, understanding the man's need to speak and share that weight.

"But you are building anew. And that means you are now in control of your fate. My crime might be in name of duty, but I am fighting to earn the right to regain my honor to begin with."

She took a gentle sip. "I wholly understand what is to be shunned. And to some it is a worse punishment than death, as you're tied to your sins, instead of liberated in a stroke."

He nodded taking a drink himself. "It's something too many people know about back home but here, it's just rumors and half truths. You are one of the only people I've ever told about it."

"I carry the weight of those sins with me yes. As I believe you carry yours with you. But I started building something new here and I'm glad you want to stay cause I think you can too." He gave her a smile "plus id love the chance to get to know you better."

Oohh, a pass back. She was intrigued. A little smirk curled up her lips, the confirmation of the gazes being a exhilarating elixir to her ears.

"Mmm.. that sounds quite fun. And you do learn quick for what it seems."

"Mmm.. that sounds quite fun. And you do learn quick for what it seems."

He raised an eyebrow and his smile was a tad amused "Oh? And what led you to that conclusion? I've always found that lessons have to be pounded through my thick skull." A little, light chuckle floats between them.

"You have to be quite the autodidact to learn such an advanced science as fleshcrafting without aide from the school. And I did a teensy little weeny research before coming, light one, nothing that tells me what happened to you."

She shrugged gently. "I have a few lives left for curiosity to kill me."

He chuckled again "You did a search on me before meeting? Anything entertaining come up? I've been pretty quiet since being here but I understand have to make sure I'm not a crazy person or something." His voice richly amused.

His head tilted to the side "and how many lives has curiosity cost you already?"

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

"People around here do see you a bit like an inventor, always working with schematics, and there's a good work out from those who you have helped with your work." Ichitaiyo replied with honesty. "There's knowledge something went on that has left you cast out, but for now you have been enough help for locals to wave away some of the initial wariness."

And she winked. "And you have great taste in women." After a chuckle, she gave a deep thought to her words, about how many lives she has left.

"I can't say how many lives I have left, but I can say I might lose another soon."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snip

He leaned back with a smirk on his lips "well I'd make a joke about you lacking modesty but I did straight up tell you that I found you attractive." A small chuckle "but you came here and looked to impress so I have to guess that those feelings go a little both ways."

At her next words his eyebrow inches up a bit "well that's ominous. Try not to use up any more of them but I understand sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."
