Himura Battousai, one early morning in Kyoto

Dec 19, 2006 19:38

It's been a long night, but in the soft grey of false dawn, down by the river, even a hitokiri can get a few moments of peace. A few moments of quiet, to clean his blade, and the still-raw gash on his left cheek, and replace the bandage over the latter ( Read more... )

A white wolf pads towards the water, but mostly towards him. It looks up, blue eyes far too intelligent for a mere animal (even a wolf) before his head bows fo a moment.

A greeting.

Kenshin nods back cautiously. The wolves in Kyoto have been his enemies so far, but it would not do to offend one - especially not one so strange as this.

You realize you don't taste very good, yes?

He starts, and for a moment there's a very surprised teenager look out of those jaded gold eyes.

But his hand's on the katana. Not drawing yet, of course.

"I know that wolves don't eat men any more than they eat their own kind," he replies. "That doesn't mean you aren't a threat."

Hi-chan has decided, for once, to visit the 'mainland'. However, the most that this means is that she is visiting the main island of Japan. How did she find the boat from the island, anyway?

In any case, she's very comfortably laying off the shore on the other side of the river in the grass, her arms behind her head, as she gazes up at the early morning sky. As her mind wanders, so do her eyes, and she turns her gaze to the strange fellow redhead seated on the other shore. She blinks.

At first, he thinks he might be hallucinating - what family would be foolish enough to let their daughter roam about on her own, at this hour? At this time?

"You should go home," he says eventually, on the off chance that he's not hallucinating.

She sits up and rests an arm on one upturned knee, looking to him with just a calm gasze. "Well, I figured leaving the island, I might find something more to do. It's not all that exciting right now, but I've only just arrived. I'm not ready to head back yet."

She blinks once. "...Do I know you?"
