Take a prompt, take your time, post whatever you like.

Heh heh heh.

[kawaakari]

Thank you.

[And stepping right out. She pauses a moment, looking around for a good spot.

Ah.]

Here.

[Walking down the patio, over to an even more quiet corner of the garden. The breeze is best here. Now she's settling down like she belongs there.

Trust in a woman like Kasumi Aoi to look so perfectly settled in her own skin t at all times.]

Iz all right. It's how I always play Brig. Must be IC consistent all the time. Stupid idiot. hah

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade follows her to the spot she's chosen and sets everything neatly before taking a seat. He's laid the bottles and the cup in-between them, making about a foot of distance between her and him ] The breeze is nice here. Do you sit here when you think?

[kawaakari]

Heavens, no. I need to separate my work from my play.

[No she doesn't.]

This is where I go when I need a proper break. Like now.

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade offers to pour for her, ready to give her the bottle if she wishes to take it ] With the amount of papers I saw on your table when I arrive, I have to wonder how often you do take breaks.

[ Brigade looks over the garden. And then up at the night sky. ] I've never really been a fan of breaks myself.

[ But so far Seigi has been nice. Barring the brutality of the measuring, he's enjoyed the sights and things like meeting the Great Koi ]

[kawaakari]

[And she simply holds her cup out in his direction. He might as well practice, right?]

I make sure to take a break every day, actually. All things must be done in moderation, even one's work.

Activating Autonomic Control! haha

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade tries his best to follow her form earlier. He tilts his head to ask if he did it right. And adds ] That's good to know. [ He feels comfortable around her, even when everything else in his training tells him she's a dangerous woman ] Could I ask something of you, Ma'am?

[kawaakari]

You may.

[Of course he could. Now whether she was going to answer was another thing altogether.

Not that he'd ever really know. But.]

[atlas_shrugged]

[ He looks back at the stars and then down at the garden, before turning again to look at her. ] Can I keep your company these next few nights I have in Seigi? I've enjoyed this evening's conversation. [ He smiles genuinely. He really has. ]

[kawaakari]

[Interesting.

Well, she had learned quite a bit from this encounter. There was always more, however, to look into with each new meeting.]

Certainly. [Painting a pleasantly surprised, perhaps a little flustered smile on her face.] You can help me enjoy my nightly breaks. You've been worthy company.

[atlas_shrugged]

I try my best, Ma'am. [ He smiles and goes back to looking at the stars and enjoying the breeze, before drinking a bit of his sake ]
