☼ Ninth Sunrise - Action ☼

[to_takamagahara]

[It's been a while since Ammy's been out and about (though for the observant person they would certainly find evidence of the wolf's mischief, typically in broken pots and snatched snacks and dug up yards. Maybe the occasional flower bed in apology), but she's not far from sight today. On the edge of the forest, one can find Ammy, quietly sitting

...!

[Waka stops in his tracks as he sees the ghostly figure petting the God. It's as if his movements have been made sluggish by a brush technique. As quickly as she is there though, her image fades, and he finds himself able to breathe yet again...]

[Ammy's attention is caught by Waka's presence, and she trots on over, quietly wagging her tail in greeting. Old friend, huh?]

[letsgoonmyouji]

... [His shock is replaced by his usual smile.]

Ah, hello ma chérie. Enjoying yourself today?

[to_takamagahara]

[Yup. ...You alright?]

[letsgoonmyouji]

Hm? But of course.

[to_takamagahara]

[Didja see her? She's been following me around all day...]

[letsgoonmyouji]

...I did. Did she leave any wise words from beyond, baby?

[to_takamagahara]

[...Nope, just some ghostly pettings.]

[letsgoonmyouji]

A final goodbye isn't like her. If she has the power to visit, she would. Isn't it sweet of her to check up on you?

[to_takamagahara]

[Yup. She looks pretty happy for a ghost.]

[letsgoonmyouji]

I'm sure she's overjoyed at you work, ma chérie..

[to_takamagahara]

[Heheh. Ammy looks up at Himiko, who rests her hand on Amaterasu's shoulders, allowing Waka to see her. And Ammy looks proud of herself. Look, here she is, now you can say goodbye, too!]

[letsgoonmyouji]

[Waka stays silent, just watching his Queen in her ethereal form...

He's never had a chance for a proper goodbye, ever in his life. He's not sure how to even say goodbye without tears or yelling.]

[Ammy bats at Waka's pants, trying to encourage him herself.]

[letsgoonmyouji]

[...he gently sinks to his knees. Despite his hand easily moving through the fabric of her robes like they aren't there, he manages to place a kiss on where they should be. Like he used to.

Even in your death, he still serves you. That will never change.]

[to_takamagahara]

[Himiko doesn't speak... she simply gives Waka a mysterious, content smile. A smile that makes Ammy pant happily - a smile assuring that things would be alright.]
