[Homura had never heard of the particular occassion being celebrated in the village that day, but he could still take advantage of it. The last time he went to such a festival had been under the false pretenses of the Malnosso's chosen life for himself and Ayumu. This time would be by his own volition, and hopefully hers as well. Not that he

action | AUGH SORRY FOR THE TL;DR

[saintlyvice]

[Okita did tell him to come over more often, so here is Sannan walking over to House 50 under the pretense of going for dinner, but really to check up on Sano and make sure the house is intact inside. Obviously, neither he nor Heisuke are taking this whole situation well, so it's up to Sannan, now the senior officer, to play...well, he's not really sure what he's doing, but it makes him vaguely uncomfortable, especially given his still-recent gloom. But he'll do it, because that's just the way he is.

In any case, there's a stranger also headed toward House 50, someone who's already at the door. A guest, then? Of whom?]

Oh--hello.

[He bows slightly in greeting.]

Are you, ah...?

Re: action | pfft, don't apologize silly.

[screwthegods]

[Homura turns when he hears the man approaching behind him. He nods his head slightly to acknowledge the bow, then glances toward the door.]

I'm here to see Ayumu--or rather, to take her out for the evening. Did you need to speak with her first?

action | right ^^

[saintlyvice]

[For a second, Sannan has to remind himself that Ayumu is not doing any work for them here, save housekeeping duties and cooking, so there is a slight awkward pause as he tries to comprehend a few, normally simple words.]

...really?

[That...wasn't supposed to be said.]

I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness. It's just been a while since anyone's, well...[searching for the right word, searching for the right--] relaxed--oh, and please, go ahead. I only came over to check on a few things, that's all.

Re: action | Sannan is so cute...andd jealous.

[screwthegods]

[Homura laughs at the man's disbelief.]

You don't need to apologize. Your group has been through a great deal lately.

[Not to mention that Ayumu isn't the easiest woman to get close to, as Homura well knows. He keeps that much to himself, however, instead choosing to confirm this man's identity.]

You were one of the ones who checked in on Okita when he was injured, yes? The one he attempted to coerce into bringing his pet to the clinic.

action | he needs some Akesato in his life (fuu)

[saintlyvice]

[Like Sano, Sannan assumes that everything must be alright because if this guest is actually unwanted, Ayumu will slaughter him.

He laughs.]

Yes, that was me. I'm Yamanami Keisuke, the leader of the Shinsengumi at the moment.

action | that makes me hear mambo no. 5 in my head

[screwthegods]

[They certainly are accepting, aren't they? It's fortunate, since Homura knows these people are important to Ayumu. So while he wouldn't run and cower should they try to intimidate, he's also glad that things are going smoothly thus far.]

Homura; we spoke briefly over the journals once before.

action | A LITTLE BIT OF AKESATO IN MY LIFEEE

[saintlyvice]

[He can't speak for all of them, but for him, it's nice to hear that some of them are doing well at this "living peacefully" thing.]

Mm, yes, Homura-san - I remember. Thank you again for looking after him. Okita-kun can be quite a handful.

Re: action | A LITTLE BIT OF AKESATO IN MY LIFEEE

[screwthegods]

[Maybe less well than he thinks, given the struggle its taken to come to this point. Still, Homura is thankful for it--he's just as surprised as anyone else to have found the sort of relationship he and Ayumu have developed.]

The doctors were more responsible for handling him than I was. I just passed on a message.

[saintlyvice]

That's enough to count, I think.

Re: action

[screwthegods]

Then you're quite welcome.
