A Talk
Who: Gyousou and Taiki
Where: Greenhouse carriage
When: Fiddlesticks, Day 26 night time
What: Taiki wakes up in the middle of the night, unable to get back to sleep he seeks out a peaceful place. His king finds him. They have a talk that they really should have had two months ago.
Warnings: Frank discussion of one character killing another for non malicious reasons. It will be quite heavy. Also spoilers for Twelve Kingdoms. We will add extra things as they come up
Taiki woke into darkness. What exactly had woken him was unknown, but fear twisted inside him as the remnants of the nightmare fled his mind. He adjusts to his surroundings, alone. Not even ghostly arms around him. Alone...
But not alone. He can feel the presence of the king, almost larger than the cabin itself and for a moment he just lies there, letting it calm him.
Still sleep has fled. In such a way that he can tell it won't be easy to drift off again. He sits up in bed and reaches blindly to grab his hoodie and the book he's been reading. Then, careful to not disturb his roommates he pads barefoot, silently out of the room.
He lets his feet guide him towards the greenhouse and the kouji that grew there. The greenhouse was dark. He turned on the torch on his SCA and found a space against the glass to lean, pulling his hood up and positioning the light so he could read.
Creatures of the Void was perhaps not the most reassuring book to read in the middle of the night, leaning against glass that led out into the utter blackness of the void at night. But it was fascinating nonetheless.
