[So the shine's back and you know what that means, Touya's at the shrine again! This time, however, it's for more than just keeping it clean. He's trying to escape all the terrible things happening here. There's a little girl running around in a smaller version of this shrine maiden's uniform. She's giggling and chasing a rabbit nearby the

[In the distance, Sheldon is helping Logan set up a bottle rocket and has started to teach him a few things about physics and the fun things that go along with it. Logan laughs and poke his father in the stomach which causes Sheldon to double over in an exaggerated way and laughs.]

[Touya gives a little teasing smile and shakes his head. He wonders how much Sheldon is really enjoying it]

[sands_in_mexico]

[From what is actually going on physically, Sheldon does appear to be having a good time and embracing a little bit of that fatherly instinct but not so much that he would become overly sentimental when they leave. At least he's making a good time of it.]

[Touya's smile becomes more real as he watches. Sheldon, you're all talk.]

[Iroh's there at the shrine. His daughter Princess Izimara is with him, resplendent in long red robes patterned with golden dragons. For once, the princess isn't talking, and seems utterly entranced by the shrine. Iroh sits on a nearby bench and sighs.]

[Bara comes running up to Iroh and bows deeply and oh-so-adorably]

Welcome to our shrine, mister!

[ginsengismyfave]

Thank you, little one. I have been here before, and it is quite relaxing.

[Izimara glides over to Bara and bows.]

"How are you? I am Princess Izimara. This place is so, so lovely."

[As the girl speaks her "father" approaches.]

Thanks! It's a lot like the one my mommy and daddy met at right daddy?

[She beams at him]

[Touya shrugs]

A little.

[yuekito]

[Yukito had been, initially, enjoying this plot quite a bit. It had been a good bit of fun, and he has the patience of a saint, afterall; he wasn't annoyed by the sues as much as he was amused by then.

With all of the violence going on, though, it's put him more than a little on edge, and he's not quite used to feeling that way. He approaches the shrine, holding hands with a beaming, silver-haired woman, and while he is still smiling, it's obviously a little strained.]

Touya, Bara-chan! It's good to see you.

[another_dayjob]

[Touya looks up and smiles. He's so glad to see Yukito. Bara hasn't let him spend much time with Yukito.]

Yuki!!

I'm sorry, I totally didn't see this tag!

[yuekito]

[Yukito smiles at him as the woman does, too, and carefully Yuki untangles his hand from hers.]

To-ya, this is Qama. She's my very good friend from a long time ago.. it just seems like this place has made me forget her.

[He knows that it's the manor playing with them, but suggesting otherwise in front of her sets her off into a fit of tears. He'll play along.]

It's all good!

[another_dayjob]

[Touya gives him a look. Why is he playing along? Touya nods at Qama, mostly to humor Yuki]

[Grumbles] Mm. Nice to meet you.
