[The mirror forms from a an accidental touch as Kenshin works her way around a wall, looking for something in particular, knowing she'll find it eventually. She's silent for the moment, though she has been singing for no apparent reason all day... songs she doesn't know on top of it--but it isn't anything like being turned into a dragon so she has been ignoring it. But that doesn't change the odd mood she's been in...]
[She finds what she's looking for, moving to kneel down before a patch of blue irises, the prickly expression she normally has on having softened significantly into something almost sad. And then the singing starts. There is a moment of irritation when it starts, but she just lets it come out, not entirely even realizing the words until they're already past her tongue, her voice quiet, following the melody of the song as simply as possible...]
[She reaches out to one of the irises, almost like she is singing directly to it for a moment, at least before reaching down to carefully pick the flower in question, followed by another and continuing while she sings until she has a small bouquet...]
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared
'Neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right...
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king?
If I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say
You know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life, it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance...
[She falls to silence afterward, raising her free hand to rest over the scar on her left cheek, just staring at the flowers she's gathered, currently lost in whatever memories were bringing all of this on in the first place.]
[ooc; "The Dance" by Garth Brooks *cough* I'M UP FOR ANYTHING! Kenshin... is... D| well fluffy emotional crap is just bringing up memories of her dead 'wife'... so kind of a big ball of goo right now D| Existing CR, she's going to be surprisingly nonabrasive right now, new CR I'm not sure on... GOOD CR she might accept hugs or more depending... IN OTHER WORDS I'M TOTALLY PLAYING IT BY EAR]
