It was later in the day when perhaps a strange think happened to the warlord. There was a certain griffin who have found it's way to his home and scratched at the door, trying to see if anyone was home at the moment.

Rafiel moved to sit down while waiting to see if Mitsuhide was home, in case he had to wait long. He goes to let out a series of chirps in greeting and also in answer to his question.

Even though time was more or less of the essence, he was still too proud of a creature to allow him to ride on the griffin's back. He goes to trot off down the hallways now and without looking back to see if the man was following him, heads out of the hotel towards the direction of his mistress.

Hopefully his own familiar will be understanding of the griffin's plight.

Hearing that the man was indeed following him, the griffin goes to pick up the pace, hurrying towards the forest. One look back to make sure that he was still following the familiar, he moves at once at a brisk trotting pace into the forest.

Hopefully Mitsuhide can still keep up with the familiar just enough to keep him in view. Only slowing down once he reaches a particular tree, moving to lay down at its feet.

Rafiel watches as Mitsuhide slowed down to a stop and nods his head. Yes, to both but yet... No to the second question. The griffin chirped with a few other sounds to the kitsune.

And where was Leanne? Very high up in the tree, having found what she believed to be a perfect hiding spot and hasn't moved from it. At all, not even to check on Rafiel or to feed herself. Her eyes red and swollen and her feathered, dulled from the lack of care.

Rafiel just made himself comfortable as he has done his duty to his mistress. Weather she thinks she needs the help or not, the griffin wasn't going to let her waste away.

A small series of chirps leaves it at Mitsuhide's words, giving him some encouragement. No worries, he won't let you fall. It shouldn't be too high of a climb for someone as young as him to reach the Heron... At least the griffin hopes that is the case.

As for Leanne, she was sitting on a branch with her back against the tree, her wings droping on either side of it so he would see them before seeing her at least.

Emerald eyes blink at the sight of Chimaki, instantly recognizing the little fox. "Chi... Maki?" She goes to speak, her voice horse and a little weak sounding. If Chimaki was here then her master wasn't too far behind.

Before she could move to spread her wings, the soft calling of a nickname reaches her ears. "Mitsuhide..... What... What are you doing here?"

Such tiny paws, such a sweet gesture that Chimaki was showing to Leanne. A forced smile forms as she reaches over to pet the little fox.

Soon, Mitsuhide's scent was very close to her and she goes to try and avoid eye contact. She didn't want anyone to see her like this. When he told her how he found her, she frowned a little.

"My apologies for Rafiel disturbing you. There is nothing wrong..."

".... No... Not for this one..." She wasn't worth any attention. Especially not now.

Though there was a touch that she didn't expect and her eyes widen briefly before she felt more tears welling up within her eyes. She couldn't stop them as the petting continues.

"Not lying..." A very weak protest. "It is nothing for you to worry over this one..." He was being so soft and gentle with her... The complete opposite of how he usually is. It was weird and somewhat comforting.

"Besides... It happened long ago..."

He hit it right on the mark. That this was grief. Grief that Leanne never got to fully face yet. She had done things that she could never forgive herself for, especially since she could never make it right.

Emerald eyes blink when she feels the handkerchief lightly wiping her tears away. This... This was something she could never deserve. She shouldn't tolerate this, shouldn't desire for someone to comfort her.

His words causes her to tear up more and shake her head. "No... I am not." She doesn't deserve to be the one chosen to live. Not when there were so much more worthy candidates. His words, why is he being so sweet and not his usual bullying self? He doesn't know and that is why he is being like this. She feels too weak to really move away from him but yet, a part of her doesn't want to move away and want to be spoiled a little in the comfort he was offering.

".... I am the last one...."

He hit it right on the nose. That what she is going through is both grief and Survivor's guilt.

Leanne didn't really care anymore if he was nearby or not, nor did she feel him moving to her branch and placing her on his lap. It was odd... Just how comforting his presence was. From the way he was holding her, being careful with her wings, to the soothing hair stroking.

".... No... If you knew..." Her sins, everything she has done before they were stolen from her. "Exactly what I mean... I am the last one... The last of my kind... The last Heron."

It was hell, the loneliness couldn't ever be put into words and there was always a longing to reunite with lost family.

"But there were far better choices than this one to be the one to live." She shakes her head. "Humans... they took joy, a great joy in slaughter everyone.... No one was spared, not even nestlings or a mere babe."

This... This was hard. Hard to get through.

"I was just weaned off of my mother when it happened. My mother and sisters.... they all died to hide me away from the ones who were attacking."

She feels his arm tightening around her. It was hard not to when he was already holding her so close. How long has she put her guard down around him? How long ago that his presence made her feel relaxed and comforted? But still... He was a human and was a part of those who destroyed her people and home.

"And I can still see it all happening, whenever I close my eyes." She just speaks softly and quietly. "... I miss them and I do want to be with them.... But..." She goes to shake her head. "Even so... I did not deserve such a sacrifice. Any of my siblings would have made a much better choice than this one."

"Never goes away..." She just goes to mumble before shaking her head at the other suggestion. "That... It is this one's burden and hers alone. I don't want or need any pity..."

The hair stroking... it really shouldn't be as soothing and comforting as it is. She was about to protest again but stopped as she couldnt will herself to fight against him. "Yes, I was the youngest out of my siblings. I do live... my life is not my own but it is for them... so they would never be forgotten..."

"... I do not need those as well... I have to be strong. It is mine alone..." She blinks at his words and just how quickly he goes to add in the the thought. So fast that before she could stop herself, a giggle leaves her. "But it would be true."

At his question, a small sigh leaves her. "For myself yes... For them... I am living."

SHHHH!!! THIS ISN'T LATE!

"Even if it is comparing to such fruit, it is what I must do. It is what we Herons do, comfort others even if we may need the comfort. We must be strong for others."

She goes to sigh as well, allowing a few tears to fall from her eyes. "But I must be the perfect Heron, the perfect female."

So so totes late!

It felt a little surreal, to see a finger that isn't her own catching her tears and also being comforted like this. "Then you have never met a Heron before, at least none before me." A small sigh. "While it is true, Mitsuhide... This one... This one cannot be selfish and ask of such things."

The kiss on the top of her head and she couldn't help but to let more tears fall. Why was he breaking through her defenses so easily?!

"But... I have to be... I am not allowed... Their deaths. Why am I the only one?"

She shouldn't accept this comfort. She doesn't deserve such comforts. "But... It is still...." She was losing the willpower to keep the argument up. Numb, her whole being feels numb due to letting nearly everything out. Heron culture was the best culture, she is just trying to overdo it due to guilt.

"But... I don't deserve such a sacrifice or great act of love...."

I can't tell how much conflict between you and Tayrey is real or banter, and that's fine.

Although she may seem naive, she's more scarred by the past than you'd think, and not so innocent I worry about her.

And although she sets aside candy for me, it was in a place where it was plentiful and we regularly died and came back from the dead. So the usual long term problems couldn't truly exist. I know this is just a testing point, and I'm grateful with you choosing candy, and not something serious. [CANDY IS SERIOUS! No, not really.] For what it's worth, I think she would be this argumentative with others not me, it's an intense sticking point with her core value system, and it's been through a lot of stress, so she needs to see how well it's still in tact.

She still wrote it into my contract with her that I cannot risk my life to do things I wouldn't order her to do as well. Originally there was a game with a werecougar -- a human that can change into a mountain lion, a giant foreign cat, and a loss meant death. Normally I would have played it until I both won and lost, I was testing the limits of death and whether it was using wormholes or spare bodies, but she was upset enough that I accepted the one loss and didn't keep playing.

It's for her sake that even knowing I'd probably come back in a few hours like everyone else, I didn't risk it, just in case.

She was with me when no one else was. When Klaus walked away so I couldn't cut him out of my life first, Tayrey stayed and did what I asked at great personal cost.

I mention this, because I doubt she will, and you deserve to know. Just because you weren't there, doesn't mean you weren't with me always.

By all means, don't go easy on her, she doesn't need it, she's stronger than she thinks. But as much as I think she'd get along with Hideyoshi, she worried before that you and her would never be able to see each other's hearts.

No, I don't suppose you would.

[Leans on a fist.] So much for you two getting along.

She's not a conqueror. Not of anywhere. Her sector already has established peace. At the price that culture conflict has never been a thing until she was on the ship. And even there, she had me. So she didnt have to push herself as much, she could always come to me even about Klaus, no matter how much I told her not to trust me. She's thoroughly unaware of how she can come across, it's beyond any experience she's ever had. She's always had a senior officer to take control of any tense discussions with someone else, or just shoot them. And she values herself enough that she won't accept anyone else devaluing her time or worth. [Like Nobunaga himself.]

But never mind that, I'll handle her separately and keep the amount you two have to interact at a minimum, though it is a shame. You both could learn much from each other that I can't truly convey.

Are you.... hurting, here?

What I mean to say is...

[A hand through his hair.] I was hurting all the time, but I didn't know it. Couldn't see it until Klaus took some of the pain away.

Skip the word pain, you and I both know we can go through anything without flinching.

Is the damage of arriving in a new world, with hundreds of new people, new cultures, new rules, the uncertainty of it all, noticeable? Do you feel like you're going completely mad, and would you like something reassuring and familiar so that the madness has a little bit of a buffer first?

Good! [Then it can't be too severe, at minimum. Tayrey being Tayrey aside, Mitsuhide does usually land on his feet soon after Nobuanga.]

It does seem much easier here than on the ship. But I have learned much there and [A small laugh!] if I'm to try something so foreign to my instincts, I'd rather try it with you first.

konpeito_aji: (Ayyyy lmao)
From: [personal profile] konpeito_aji
[Another harder darker laugh.] Only you would say that. [Hideyoshi, but Nobunaga wouldn't, probably couldn't try it on him.]

Perhaps that means it's working already though.

Don't try too hard to be monkey. A kitsune is more than enough.
