Kenren stormed through the library. He had a question and it was going to be answered.
Tenpou was curled up with his back against the side of his desk and book upon his thighs.
Kenren cleared his throat.
Tenpou failed to notice.
Kenren tapped his foot.

Kenren slammed his hand on Tenpou’s desk.

Kenren snatched the book from Tenpou’s lap.
That -- Tenpou noticed. His eyes shifted up the long black-clad legs before him. “Yes?” He adjusted his glasses and saw the general in focus.
“There’s something I wanna know.”
“Wha--” Surprise took his words when the general’s hand came for his face. A loud thunk was heard when the back of his head hit the wood. Kenren’s hand gripped the marshal’s forehead. Tenpou, befuddled, watched as Kenren lifted his bangs and studied his forehead.
Just as suddenly as it happened, Kenren jerked his hand away.
Tenpou straightened his glasses. “Did you find your answer? Can I go back to reading now?”
Kenren waved over his shoulder while heading for the door. “Some things a man has to find out for himself.”
“Or a god.” Tenpou added.
“Or a god.” Kenren agreed as he closed the door to the library. With that settled, Kenren had a new question. Where was Gojun this time of day?
