What: Koumei and Kouha need to have a Talk + Koumei attempts to find a hobby
Rating/Warning: Potential for serious, feels inducing discussions



A -- Locked to Ren Kouha

[It has been a short while since Kouha arrived in the city, and Koumei was overjoyed to have his youngest brother around. Although Haru insisted that it wasn't a problem, Koumei knew that he would need to repay the Saniwa back one day for allowing the two brothers to be in the same apartment. Just being together was enough for Koumei to be content.

But there was something that they needed to talk about-- something involving the Empire that they were supposed to inherit. Something involving their siblings, and the fact that one among them had allowed the darkness in his heart to swallow him whole.

Koumei was actually awake that morning, idly playing with the his little robo-pigeon and the robo-fox that resided in the apartment, trying to find a way to further delay the inevitable. He didn't want to talk about this...

But it was a shadow lingering over them that was hard to ignore.]


B

[There had been a common refrain he had heard over the last several weeks: "Find a hobby."

It was a strange notion for Koumei, a man who had spent much of his life supporting a war effort in one capacity or another. If he hadn't been in war counsels or attending to his work in the magic research facility, he was catching up on precious sleep or playing with his pigeons in Rakushou.

But, mostly it was sleeping.

While Doudanuki's insistence on teaching him how to use a sword was compelling, it was far from an actual hobby. That was work-- and the only way he was able to keep Doudanuki from destroying his hair.

Thus, Koumei found himself in the library perusing the various crafting books, looking for something that would catch his interest. If he wasn't there, he was looking at the selection of fiction novels of a variety that ranged from cerebral mysteries to sordid romances.

After checking out a few of them to read further, he went over to the gardens to enjoy the afternoon reading. Whether he actually spent the afternoon napping underneath a tree or not was another story, but regardless of the outcome he would consider the day well spent.

It was strange, having so much free time. He didn't know what to do with it.]

[ Kousetsu is just going about his daily routine for his job within the gardens when he spots, one Koumei Ren, sleeping beneath a tree. There's a ton of books scattered about him but Kousetsu is mindful not to disturb them as he comes over. ]

Koumei-san. Is...everything alright?

always the bees

...I see. [ Kousetsu had hobbies but they might not be for everyone so he's not sure if he should offer up his own ideas for the other. ]

What are...somethings that you enjoy, Koumei-san? Perhaps finding something related to one of those things will help make it easier to decide.

[ He feels you Koumei. ]

I...do not see anything wrong with only having those as hobby. If you...interested there is a place to play go and shogi as well. They are rather fun to play, and I would not mind having another person to play with.

I would not mind doing so, Koumei-san. It would...please me very much to have someone to play with again.

[ Is Kousetsu a little lonely without a shogi playing bro? He is, but he won't mention that. ]

It is not far from the apartments either, so it is very easy to get to.

If you are not opposed we may go now, if only so you may see it yourself beforehand.

[ He's not gonna make Koumei play if he doesn't want. But it might be easier to show him first now before they come again for an actual game. ]

Otherwise I do not wish to bother you if it is too much.

It is no trouble, Koumei-san. I am more than happy to help in this case.

[ He likes having shogi buddies to play with. ]
