[Open Post] Hanami (Flower-viewing party)
curled to sleep--
the important official
in cherry blossom shade
--Issa
A cold spring has hung about the Mansion, but today, the warm weather has crept back in and Tsuzuki has spread out a pink and white silk quilt in the shade of the just blossoming cherry tree, laying out a picnic lunch of spring fare: cherry mochi, chicken salad and a fruit salad, deviled eggs, a pitcher of cherry lemonade and a pot of green tea on a Sterno can to keep it warm, with a cherry cheesecake for dessert.
He's been pulling late shifts covering some of the recent openings on watch, and so he's more tired than usual: recruiting will start soon, but for the moment, he's doing his best to celebrate the spring. Even still, he's curled up with his head on some of the pillows he's scattered about the quilt, one arm folded under his head, his eyelids closing and the poetry book in his hand sinking onto the quilt. He's easy to awaken, if someone comes to join him...
Spring time sweetness: open to anyone and everyone, friends and newcomers alike, though be warned, he might jolt awake when you approach.
