... I have a stick!

Hikaru nodded slowly. "A worthy goal." He gave a tiny shrug. "I will be returning to Crane lands, but I expect not for long. There is much to be done with the assistance of other Clans." He smiled, just a little. "I'd hope to visit the lands of the Dragon, as well as the Bat, and it looks like I may...

"We will find out." Hikaru said firmly. He tilted his chin up, expression resolute. After a few moments, Hikaru looked at Ayano. "That may be." He was silent for a few moments. "Makime-sama, it seems likely that in facing this threat, our Clans may grow closer. In which case, it is likely that our p...

Hikaru considered that, frowning. "I see." He said. There was a pause. "Doji Tsubaki was some sort of demon." Hikaru grimaced; two demons in their midst. "As I understand it, her teahouse is to be destroyed, thoroughly cleansed so that something else, something pure, might take its place." He gave h...

Turning to face her, Hikaru's expression softened, and then softened further. "And I will miss you, too." He said softly, his eyes meeting hers. He could spend all night looking into her eyes. Gently, he smiled. "But I will think of you often, as we both travel, and as we see to our duties, far apar...

Smiling, Hikaru nodded. "When next we meet, then." He was silent a moment, looking up at the moon. "But I think it is your compassion." He was silent again, watching the moon with the woman he had feelings for, and more than content to do so. But then he sighed. "I must go." A brief pause, and he ga...

Hikaru's hands were on the frame of the window as well. His expression steady, one hand shifted just a little closer; not touching, scarcely a suggestion, but the suggestion was there. As they stood, their bodies might shield from the eyes of casual passersby... He looked at her, nodding slowly. "Ye...

Hikaru looked at her for a long, long moment, frowning gently, considering. Finally, his lips shifted, just a little, and he made his way over.

"Good morning, Makime-sama." He bowed to her. "May I assist you?" His voice was gentle.

Hikaru returned her nod. "I shall give you a very thorough tour of them, I promise." Indeed, the glint in his eyes seemed to promise a bit more than that. He took a deep breath. "I shall. In truth, I am not worried for myself. While there has been some question of my methods, my loyalty to Lady Doji...

The Crane can graciously gift the Matsu Family one point. Make sure to tell your descendants how nice we are!

The Crane can volunteer one point towards the Unicorn.

The predictions were right. The weather was changing. Soon, everyone would return home again.

Lady Doji...

Hikaru had stepped out into the garden, the better to view the sky. To see the melting snow. He frowned, considering it, and the future.

Hikaru gave Satsuki a sidelong look. "Jiyo-sama spoke of this clouding as well. I expect your father Lord Togashi will be pleased to receive your report. Knowledge is important." How relieved he was to finally have answers. Taking a deep breath, Hikaru turned to look more directly at Satsuki, smile ...

Hikaru came to a stop, bowing. "Hantei-sama." He said politely, and with a touch of warmth. "I am." He said. "With the change in the weather, it seems that things are moving again, and rather quickly." The look on his handsome features was decidedly pensive. He refocused on Genji. "How fares the Sta...

Packing/travel for a bit.

With the change in the weather, Hikaru was hard at work. Crane courtiers did not travel light, especially not so important ones. There was the disposition of the wedding gifts... Hikaru shook his head. Dojihime was making many of the arrangements, but that still meant someone to see her will done. W...

The tall Crab bowed. "Certainly, I am honored that my little performance might be be considered in the same breath as Akodo-san's heartfelt ballad," Chizu said courteously. "But I would be pleased to yield to her, if Akodo-san will permit it." Hikaru bowed to her. "Courtesy is a virtue you have dis...

Question here!

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Hikaru felt that draw, too. They weren't touching, but only a few inches separated them. His eyes flickered to her lips, noting how soft they looked. He knew they were soft... with an effort, he looked away, his gaze going back to the garden. "Yes." He said. After a moment, he looked back at her. "I...
