『Kodoku no Saibou』(1×1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana pet his hair slowly, letting her fingers run through the wild white mess of hair, enjoying their embrace.
 
“I love you too, Motochika..” She said softly, petting his hair slowly.

Jin poured tea for Kojurou and then herself, having prepared an afternoon snack in the garden for Kojurou. “I see you’ve done more work in the garden, you’ve been busy.” She said, gently placing his tea before him.
 
Kojurou bowed gratefully, giving a small smile, "Ah, yes, especially with the work I did with Akihime and restoring hers! I was surprised I had time here at all."
 
“I’m glad you found the time, I rather enjoy our talks- especially about the gardens.” She smiled as she picked up her cup, blowing gently on the tea.
 
“Ah, Mitsunari-sama is rather particular, I wouldn’t take it to heart.” She said. “As for the others, simply give them time, they’re a bit old in their ways.” She said with an affectionate smile.
 
He blushed and averted his gaze to his tea, "Y-Yes, I have noticed that..." He replied, "I wish they wouldn't look down on me simply for being their younger."
 
“Don’t shy away from them, they’re only trying to scare off those unfit for the position- stand strong, Katakura-sama, you have the aptitude.” Jin encouraged.
 
“Tell me more of your time in court, surely you must have other things you enjoy?” She asked.
 
"Aside from the arts and trying to understand the stars as Mitsunari-dana does, I am quite boring in comparison." He said in good humor.
 
She laughed softly behind her hand. “I’d hardly say something like that; the dedication you have for your crafts is ever intriguing.” Jin said.
 
“I couldn’t agree more.” She hummed with a soft smile, finding Kojurou’s shyness rather endearing.
 
“Well I would be honored to hear you play.” She said. “Maybe I can even play for you as well.” She offered.
 
He had never heard Jin play. He would catch the tail end once or twice, but never a full performance.
"I would... really like that, Jin-dono..."
 
“Perhaps I can arrange a private showing for you.. I’m sure something like that would be rather easy to prepare for.” She mused softly.
 
“We can play together on my free time, I look forward to it very much.” She nodded with a smile.
 
Amaya had just finished checking the estate perimeter with her spiders, sitting just behind Akihime as she spoke with the new client.
 
"Everyone told me you were the one to speak to about my problem." Said the woman, ashamed to even look at Akihime. Akihime sat quietly before turning toward her drink.
"Everyone seems to think I'm the one to come to." She replied.
