In our bodies we will live, in our bodies we will die
Who: Ren Koumeidishevelment & OPEN (with one part locked to Ren Kouha roughcut)
When: IC 6/16 OOC 4/3
Where: Various places around the city
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.]

And it seemed to give him an idea.]
Perhaps you're right. We should set up a hammock instead, to be safe.
no subject
[ The blank look on Shinpachi's face says enough.. he's just staring at the other while blinking a little. There's bound to be some cultural differences when it comes to Ye Olde Japan and how closed off it is. ]
Are those supposed to help with.. uh.. nap safety or whatever?
no subject
Yes, they are. Hammocks are sort of similar to a futon that you string up between two trees. The fabric holds you off the ground. I've heard they're quite comfortable to sleep in.
no subject
He's already looking around, as if a hammock might appear out of absolutely nowhere.. ]
Great! Let's get started! [ Yeah, now you've got him pumped, Koumei. ]
no subject
I'd like to know your name, if we're going to be napping partners, [He said quickly, holding up a hand in a gesture to stop the flow of words.] Also, we need to go purchase ourselves a couple of hammocks first.
no subject
Hey, does that sound like a problem? We'll have those things in no time!
[ Even though Shinpachi has.. no idea where to buy them.. but he's just very easily Enthusiastic about things, okay. ]
And my name's Shinpachi-- Shinpachi Nagakura. Make sure to remember it if you wanted to know it so badly! [ He laughs. ]
no subject
He bobbed his head politely at the introduction, and added his own.]
My personal name is Koumei, and my family name is Ren. And, please, if you wish to use a shorter name, I would prefer 'Mei' over 'Kou.' All of my siblings have 'Kou' in their name, and my youngest brother likes to call me 'Mei.'
no subject
[ Shinpachi has embraced the nickname life in literally less than five minutes after meeting the other guy and tripping over him, yes.. but we're talking about the guy who has probably never called his best friend by his full name either, so it's not much of a surprise. ]
So, tell me where we can find these hammocks already! I gotta try one out right now!
no subject
I'm not entirely sure-- we'll need to go asking around, but they shouldn't be terribly hard to find with the variety of shops in this city.
