[D4 LE] A Visitor (Hideo's Yurt) [Closed]

[Ide Amaya]

She sighed, deep and long, but the was a different tone to it; so much could be said with just a sigh, this one spoke of contentment, of relief. But after several minutes, "I really should go soon."

[Seppun Hideo]

This time it was Hideos turn to sigh. "You do, even though it will be difficult to let you leave. I would not wish to cause you to miss an arrangement. The weather does not appear to have eased up either."

[Ide Amaya]

She shook her head, "it has not, and I do not relish the thought of leaving your warm arms in favour of a cold storm."

[Seppun Hideo]

"I can offer my umbrella, and warmth until you step outside" Hideo said, knowing it wouldn't help much "and if the weather gets worse, you can return here to rest and hide from the storm."

[Ide Amaya]

"Thank you, Hideo-San. Fortunately I do not have far to go. The Matsu yurts are not so distant of here." Reluctantly she moves to disengage herself from his arms and rise, but she pauses and fixes him with her eyes, "I will remember this night always."

[Seppun Hideo]

"I'm glad. That means you will remain close" Hideo said softly, his eyes looking upon hers as he said "this night will remain with me for all my days, along with every moment we've spent together. Thank you again for being my gem in the storm."

He rose himself, not breaking eye contract.

[Ide Amaya]

She touches the fine silk of the robe Hideo had lent her. "I suppose I should change, I truly am grateful to have had something dry to wear while I was here."

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo nodded, a small sigh. "A shame, while your kimono is lovely I think you suit Imperial green. Hopefully the fire will have helped dry it a little."

He moved to collect it and bring it to her.

[Ide Amaya]

"You're only saying that to keep me from leaving," she teases solemnly as she accepts the clothing from him.

[Seppun Hideo]

"Not at all, I hope to see you wearing it again soon...and for the rest of your life" he held her gaze for a few moments before turning away slowly

[Ide Amaya]

She also turned her back, slipping the delicate fabric from her shoulders with a wistful sigh. She wrapped the nagajuban around her form, and then the kimono. The silk had dried, but the heavier undergarment was still damp, as was the obi. She tugged on her Maiden's Tail to tighten its hold and smoothed herself down, checking that she was presentable.

She lightly touched the Imperial's shoulder, the borrowed robe folded in her other hand.

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo had closed his eyes, listening to the sounds until it had finished. He waited for the sign, and when tapped on the shoulder turned round, reluctantly accepting the robe back. "How is it?" He asked quietly

[Ide Amaya]

"It's more cold than damp, but no doubt the rain will make short work of that." Her eyes drop for a moment, scanning his body before returning to his eyes. "It shall have to do."

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo thought for a moment.

'Well...unless you want to wrap some of the other, ripped kimono inside it? More layers that way."

[Ide Amaya]

"With the rain coming down the way it is, it will just be more damp layers. But I thank you for the offer. It means very much to me to have you looking out for my wellbeing."
