"We'll be heading back." Aeshma spoke up again, eager to take Grim back to his estate rather than escorting a pair of commoners. Grim didn't know when or where he'd see Hitashi again, hopefully it would be under good circumstances. |

He waved his farewell and turned back towards the road. He could tell Arius was lying, but he knew by now that he should just let it be. He checked that Natsia was still secure and then set off. It didn't take him long to get home, but his mother had been worried regardless. It hadn't been his fault that Natsia had wanted to stay late, and yet he was somehow to blame. He dealt with his mother's temper and then went upstairs to the attic. He sighed as he plopped down in a corner to read. He'd never met someone quite as odd as Arius, but he didn't find him strange at all. He wasn't sure if he'd ever see Arius again, but he hoped that one day they might run into each other again. Maybe he'll be a better dancer by next time. |

The noble and his guard were quick to return to their somewhat safe haven. It was safe because the house of a building wasn't nearby other residents and people throughout the kingdom were aware to stay away. Their reasoning was just a bad reputation encouraged by the king, it was shocking to believe that Grim and him had been equals at one point in time. But none of that was what he was thinking about as he silently went back to his private quarters. Meeting someone friendly was rare for Grim and even though he had to lie about his identity he still sought more companionship from Hitashi. Would you like to figure out how they meet again ? I'm fine if you already have something planned )) |

And I don't have anything planned, so we can both do some brainstorming and then just see what we come up with! )) |

- Hitashi is a wood worker, so maybe grim orders a few items for his estate, and Hitashi has to deliver them? (My brain is empty.) - There could be a military draft? (Why tho?)(What's the purpose of that?)(How would they meet again?) - Maybe Grim is looking for some staff at his estate? (That might actually work.)(What kind of staff?) - There could be some sort of ball/party that they both get invited to? (Nope. No one would invite grim, and Hitashi's a commoner.) - Something with a library? (I dunno.)(I just like books.)(Wait. Hitashi's illiterate -._.-) - I tried a prompt generator, and this is the best I found. "Grim :I am darkness, I am the night Hitashi :come get your damn fruit snacks" - Grim could totally just give up on life and go get drunk or smthn? (But that's so sAD :c ) - Mid-life crisis? - Grim's guard investigates Hitashi to make sure he's not some sort of threat? |

Mid-life crisis, drunk angst and military draft could come later. Same with Grim's guard investigating Hitashi. )) |

And alrighty then, it sounds like a plan! I have an appointment soon, but after that I'll be on for the rest of the day! Also, I love the idea of Grim teaching Hitashi to read! )) Hope you don't mind, but I'll start! :^ )) He'd been in his shop all day, working on a table for the mayor of his town. It wasn't too complicated, but it would still take time. His mother had come out around an hour ago to tell him to take a break, but he was too determined to just get it done. He was about to put the lacquer on when his mother came in again. "I already told you, ma. I'm almost do-" He began, but she cut him off. "That's not why I'm here, dear. There's a few men at the door asking to see you." She narrowed her eyes, looking concerned. "Oh- Alright." He set the jar down and walked past his mother to the front door of the house. "Hello there, gentlemen. What can I do for ya?" He asked, sounding as friendly as possible. "Are you Hitashi Reina?" The man in the middle asked, holding a small piece of paper. "Yes, sir." He responded, glancing back at his mother. He gave her a look that said, 'Stay out of sight.', and she seemed to get the idea. They didn't know who these men were or what they wanted, so he had every right to be suspicious. "We've come from the (Whatever your estate name is) estate. It's north-west from here. I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Reina. We're constructing a new pavilion, and were informed that you're the finest wood worker for three towns over." He informed him, making sure not to reveal anything about Grim's current mental state. The man held out the small piece of paper to Hitashi, gesturing for him to take it. Hitashi took it cautiously and glanced down. It's what he would be paid for if he did the job. "The project will take quite some time, but we believe this should just about cover the fees." Hitashi took a few moments to think before glancing back at his ma. They really needed this money, whether he wanted to admit it or not. This could pay for his siblings' tuition fees, and he could probably send Natsia to dance classes too. He looked back to the men and gave a small nod before asking, "You said 'for three towns over'. That implies that this estate is rather far away." The men hesitated, knowing this might be an issue. "Yes. It's four hours by horse. You may discuss with the owner what to do about the schedule, but I'm sure you two will come to some sort of agreement." Hitashi sighed and put the paper in his pocket. "Come back tomorrow morning. I have some work to finish up, but then I can come to your estate." The man responded immediately. "Oh no, we need you to start work on this right away. Now if possible." Hitashi gritted his teeth and turned around. "I've gotta go, Ma. Nothing bad, I promise. Tell the kiddos I say to behave, alright?" He put on his best 'everything is fine' face. He gave his ma a kiss on the cheek and then turned around and left. He shut the door behind him, somewhat irritated that they had been so demanding. He could only hope that this man they spoke of would be reasonable. |

The man in question was unaware of the temporary employee coming to his estate, being escorted by a few of his own staff members. His appearance was lacking, more tired than usual and underdressed. He didn't know if they cared for him genuinely or were being paid well. Majority of them were people that the king didn't deem fit enough to work among his own ranks. To Grim they were all the best at their jobs, handling homely or guarding duties well. |

They'd been riding for hours, but no one had said much to him during the treck. The further they went, the more dead everything seemed. The bushes were barren, and he couldn't even hear the birds chirping. It was almost sundown now, and they had just ridden up to the front gates. "Welcome to house Messores" the man spoke as they passed under the engraved sign, which was slightly rusted from the rain. They entered and headed to the stables. While they tied the horses up, Hitashi couldn't help but notice how void of life this place was. There was hardly any staff to be seen, and that led Hitashi to ask another question. "Does Lord Messores know I'm coming.?" He asked, guessing the man's title. The man turned to him, his expression seeming less intense now. "To be honest, we're building the pavilion as a surprise." Hitashi frowned at this. "So you're telling me that we rode four hours to get here, and he doesn't even know about it?!" The man paused to think for a moment. "Yep. That about sums it up." Hitashi groaned and then looked back at him. "So when will I meet him.?" Another man walked up to him and gestured for him to follow. As they walked, Hitashi took note of the architecture. It was rather run down, though he could tell it must have been stunning back when it was first built. They stopped at a large door, and the man in front of him knocked. Hitashi couldn't tell if it was just his imagination playing tricks on him, but this man almost looked worried. |
