In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime set aside her cup of wine, cupping his cheek and kissing him again. No ones around you know..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He smiled softly, "That's how I like it... " He replied and kissed her gently.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime slowly climbed into his lap, cupping his cheeks as she gave soft kisses to Masamune s cheeks and lips, her smile growing bigger the more she kissed him, before finally breaking out laughing. You really did drink quite a bit, I was surprised you didn t drown She muttered against his lips before kissing him again.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He laughed and held her tight, "Don't be mean to me, light weight can't even finish a whole glass before you start slobbering "
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She gasped and whacked his chest lightly. I donotslobber! I am a lady! A dignified, cultured noblewoman! She said, almost half mockingly, a smile clearly about to break out onto her face.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He laughed loudly, "Dignified noblewomen can still drool when they're drunk, silly " He teased.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	I disagree with you there ser, but I know for a fact that you dribble whine when you re drunk She pointed out.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He scoffed obnoxiously, "Not eeeeeven!" He argued before licking the corners of his mouth instinctively.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She burst out laughing, grabbing his chin gently so she could kiss him again. It s on your shirt too
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He groaned loudly, "Oh, for Maker's sake.." He said before laughing.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime sat back, laughing so hard tears came to her eyes Masamune made her heart ache, made her smile so much it hurt, she was beyond happy in every way he almost made her forget about Alessio.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"You're so pretty when you smile." He told her, a swoon in his tone.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime s face flushed more, already red from the wine. You re only saying that so I ll kiss you again.. She muttered bashfully.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Is that so wrong ?" He asked, "You'll break my heart "
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime felt like her face was going to burst into flames with how hot it was, fidgeting were she was beside him. And what if I want you to kiss me?
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I absolutely will " He replied, "I'm not a monster "
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Will you..? She asked softly, reaching for his hand and lacing her fingers with his.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He squeezed her hand and leaned over to kiss her gently, lovingly.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime leaned into the kiss slightly, closing her eyes in enjoyment. Her heart fluttered, and she felt an ache between her legs.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He held her close and firmly, loving to have her against him. He didn't hear the footsteps that were approaching them, wasn't paying attention.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime s attention was only focused on one thing, and it certainly wasn t whomever was approaching them. She kissed Masamune back, giving his hand a small squeeze.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Masamune sama!" Masamune was jerked backwards and he choked a bit from his clothes pressing into his neck. It was Kojurou, ever furious as he usually was.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime opened her eyes quickly, moving back out of instinct, eyes wide and her heart racing. She never much liked Kojurou, he always scared her.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"What do you think you're doing?" Kojurou hissed. Masamune scowled slightly, sober now and pissed off."Kissing my girlfriend, what does it look like?""Girlfriend?!" Kojurou snapped.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime blushed at the word, glancing up at Kojurou he scared her, and it made her angry, she had feared Templars her whole life as a captive, and even now as a free woman? Why are you so intrusive? He isn t a child. She pointed out.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"And you aren't human." He hissed."She is, too! Maker, why are you such a dick?!" Masamune yelled, "Can't you just leave her alone?!"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime flinched at his words, more hurtful things that cut all too deep, he was right though. What would you know about being human? She asked, her tears blue and glowing, like liquid Lyrium was dripping from her face and not tears. The trees around them creaked and groaned, swaying from an unseen force as Megohime got to her feet, hands clenched in fists at her side.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"M Mego...?" Masamune watched her, worried and curious. Kojurou scowled."Much more than an apostate abomination who's only known the darkness of a cell."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime clenched her fists harder, and a few of the trees around them cracked audibly. Stop it. She said lowly, scowling at Kojurou.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Make me." Kojurou challenged. Masamune became alarmed ans stood up quickly."Mego, easy, easy, it's ok.."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime unclenched her fists slightly, looking to Masamune, face red and tears still dripping down her face. No, it isn t! He always calls me a monster I m not!
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"You're not, far from it.." He assured before glaring at Kojurou, "I'll deal with him, let's get you back to the house." He took her hand and left their little picnic area with her.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime followed with no resistance, wiping her tears away angrily as they went. Why is he so horrible? I haven t done anything..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I..." He tried to find the words, "Kojurou is like any other templar, I think...they're all jerks."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime couldn t argue with that, she hated Templar s, they were all awful. I don t want so see him anymore, I don t anymore reminders of how grotesquely deformed I am..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I'll do what I can, Mego, I promise.." He told her, "But you aren't grotesque...not to me.."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She couldn t look up at him, she was too shameful of her appearance to do so. I have Lyrium growing from me, I must look horrifying..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"No, not at all! It's a little intimidating, but I wouldn't call it horrifying! Your lyrium markings make you look even prettier!" He told her.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	I don t want to be intimidating, I don t want Lyrium marks..! She shook her head. I want normalcy!
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He frowned softly, "I...we're trying, Mego..." He said quietly.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	I m sorry... I didn t mean it that way... I just, I think I just need some time alone.. She said softly, gaze down, tears still leaking from her face.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"If you think so..." He didn't really know how to deal with women, "I'll check on you after a bit, ok...?"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime gave a nod, wiping away the last of her tears. I m sorry.. we were having such a nice time..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He shook his head, "No, it's alright...it wasn't your fault. Get some rest, ok? I'll deal with Kojurou.."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime was absent from dinner, the servant Masamune sent to retrieve her saying she had refused to come down from her room. Megohime had given the excuse that she hadn t felt well, but Masamune knew she was simply still upset.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He frowned and went to go see her himself, gently knocking on her door, "Mego?"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He could hear the faint rustling of bedsheets within the room, then Megohime speaking up. Masamune..? She sounded tired, like she had just woken from sleep.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Can I come in...?" He asked, "I'm worried.."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	There was a brief pause, heavy tension hanging in the air before she answered him again. Yeah.. She agreed.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He opened the door and stepped inside, "Hey...you wanna talk...?"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He could see that she had been crying, her eyes were puffy, and she had blue smears on her cheeks. About what..? She asked softly.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Well...anything, really..." He said, "I missed you at dinner, so I wanted to make sure you were ok.."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She nodded, holding her blankets tightly around her shoulders. I m alright, just feeling a little under the weather.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He moved over and sat beside her, "About anything in particular?"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He could see that she had something to say, but she kept her mouth shut about whatever it was. Just.. I m not really sure..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He frowned, "Do you not want to talk about it...?"
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime seemed so small and sad, keeping her eyes down. Just typical mage and Templar quarrels. She muttered.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Between you and Kojurou or just mages and templars in general?" He asked gently.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Kojurou.. She muttered, pulling her blankets around herself even tighter, as if you comfort herself. I don t understand him..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He made a soft noise, "I don't really understand him either...he takes what he does too seriously. He needs to lighten up some, if you ask me."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He scares me... I feel he wants to do me harm.. She mumbled, laying back down on the bed with a soft sigh.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He moved to lay beside her, holding her as best as he could, "I'm not gonna let him hurt you, Mego..."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Megohime didn t move or push him away, letting him hold her in her bundle of blankets. Just... The way he looks at me, the hatred in his eyes..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I'll keep him away from you..." He said gently, holding her tighter, "He's still gotta rake orders from me, after all." He grinned.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura s disgrace was known by almost all by weeks end, no longer wearing his Templar armor, but simple plate mail as he guarded the Towers main entrance.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Mitsunari beat on him a lot for his failure but Akihime would always be there to stop it before it got too bad. But soon after, he would just flee from her it puzzled her.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura did his best to avoid having to interact with Akihime, as he was after all no longer a Templar. He was still stuck on guard duty, a mere foot soldier and grunt worker he was grateful however to not be fully stripped of his title.He wasn t sure of how to address Akihime, not after what he had done. It made knots in his gut, it was all he could think about, and even if she said she forgave him, he could not.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"Sanada." Oh no. Akihime had found him again, how was she so good at finding him? "Why will you refuse my company? I thought we were friends."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	I.. He turned to face Akihime, his shoulders sagging a bit as he saw her face, a faint bruise still present on her cheek. We are friends, I just... What was he supposed to say to something like this? I m sorry, I just thought it be better if I stayed away.. His one face was heavily bruised, split lip oozing blood still.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She took out her handkerchief and started to gently dab thr blood away, "Is Mitsunari still causing you harm? For what happened? You know I place no blame on you."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura winced when she blotted his lip, a soft frown forming on his lips. I know you don t Akihime dono... But I can t forgive myself..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"The Maker forgives all things if you pray for it." She told him gently.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	His heart ached in his chest, another thing he couldn t bring himself to face, how was he supposed to face the Maker? No, he had to, Akihime was right. He gave a small nod. I know.. Thank you, but... Until I can find the courage, I don t know if we should spend time together.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	She lowered her gaze, "I find that notion to be rather silly and unnecessary, but I will not force you to feel any undue discomfort."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	I m sorry Akihime... I don t mean to make this a painful ordeal, but I feel I have no right to see you. Yukimura admitted.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I understand." She said, though she didn't really. It was illogical for him to do this she forgave him, so he should just accept it and move on. Why didn't he? She might have understood better if she weren't Tranquil, maybe. But that would always be the case."I suppose I will see you when I see you."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura was saddened to see Akihime go, but he just couldn t bring himself to forgive himself, no, not yet. Goodbye, Akihime..
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Her new guardian always seemed to lose track of her, which annoyed Mitsunari greatly. She was always found in random areas of the tower, places she really had no place being. It annoyed the Knight Captain greatly. The incident between her and Yukimura seemed so long ago, and it felt like she had completely forgotten about him. It was months since he had seen her last, and if he hadn't heard all the chatter about her appearing randomly all over the place, he would think she was gone. At least until some odd men came to the tower. They had templar armor but it also wasn't. It had an odd symbol of an eye on the chest. Who were they?
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura was busy scrubbing the floors when he heard the commotion, saw people heading to the main tower hall for what? He set the scrub brush down and moved to follow, curious as to what was happening.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"This is an outrage! You cannot just take my mage! Mysister!" Mitsunari was screaming at the top of his lungs, furious as ever.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	There were quite a few people gathered, both mages and Templar s even a few Tranquil s stood silently and watched. Yukimura did his best to see what was happening, brows furrowed as he pushed his way through the crowd to see just exactly what was happening.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Mitsunari was yelling at a man with white hair and a purple mask, Akihime standing with a couple of the oddly armored Not Templars."I demand to know why you're taking her!" Mitsunari yelled."That is strictly need to know, Mitsunari my boy, and I need not tell you." The man said. Akihime looked up and saw Yukimura, watching him quietly. She was being taken away? To where?"She is too old to be taught in the Vigil!""None are too old for Andraste's grace."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura felt his stomach turn in knots, what was this? What were they talking about? Why were they taking Akihime? Was something wrong with her? Was she going to be taken away?
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"She will train at the Vigil and if she passes her training, she will become a Seeker.""Out of the question!!" Mitsunari argued, "She is a Tranquil! She will be of no use to you!""What do you care what happens to her? She's Tranquil. If she fails, she'll become an archivist.""Serah," Akihime piped up, "I thank you for this opportunity. I will train at your Vigil, even if I doomed to fail it.""You have no issue leaving the tower?" Hanbei asked. Akihime was quiet for a moment, and she glanced at Yukimura briefly before looking back at Hanbei."There is nothing for me here, serah." She replied.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Yukimura felt like time had stopped, like a spell had been cast to cloud his head he couldn t look away from Akihime, but didn t want to look either. He had pushed her away, pushed her too far and now she was gone, but he only had himself to blame.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"I believe that settles that." Hanbei smiled though it was less than comforting, "Will you need to pack?""No, serah, I can leave as I am." She replied."Akihime..." Mitsunari looked devastated and she looked to him with her blank expression."I will come back if I can, Mitsunari. I will not abandon you as father did." She replied. Hanbei and the other Seekers moved to leave and Akihime stopped beside Yukimura."Take care, Sanada. This is good bye for the foreseeable future."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Akihime I .. That s enough of that, get moving. Akihime was pushed forward a bit roughly, the Seeker behind her scowling at Yukimura. I m sure your boyfriend ll miss you plenty, blah blah.. He sneered.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"He isn't..." Akihime stopped and looked back at Yukimura as she walked away, her eyes for the first time looking sad.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Nana was back in Kirkwall, docking for the next few days to let her crew rest and to restock on supplies. For the night however, she was determined to simply get drunk and have a good time.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Motochika was stressed from his watch, he needed to unwind. So, he went to the Hanged Man to lose his tensions in ale.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	When he approached the bar, he saw a very familiar person, one he didn t particularly want to see in that moment. Nana was already slamming down what looked like a big mug of brandy.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He was immediately tense again and growled in annoyance. Just ignore her, he told himself. He moved to a seat as far from her as possible and hoped she didn't see him.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	It was hard not to notice when Motochika walked into the room, so Nana noticed him almost right away. Ah, guard, I think only customers are allowed at the bar! She called over, obviously already a bit drunk.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He grimaced and tried to ignore her. He wasn't going to let her bother him right now.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Surely she would just give up and go back to drinking, but sadly, Motochika was not a lucky man that night. Surely your ears are working, right, guard ? Nana plopped down into the seat beside him, one hand on his shoulder and her mug in the other.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	He growled lowly, "Go away, I haven't the time to deal with you tonight."
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Of course you do! You ve time to drink, you ve time to bother with me for a moment She took a big swig from her mug and waved the barkeep down. Get this man an ale, on me!
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"You're too kind..." He grumbled irately, only looking relieved when the tankard was put in front of him.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	Nana made a satisfied noise and took another swig from her own tankard, looking rather pleased.
In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)	"You're rather chipper.." He said, taking his cup and drinking from it.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime set aside her cup of wine, cupping his cheek and kissing him again. No ones around you know..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He smiled softly, "That's how I like it... " He replied and kissed her gently.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime slowly climbed into his lap, cupping his cheeks as she gave soft kisses to Masamune s cheeks and lips, her smile growing bigger the more she kissed him, before finally breaking out laughing. You really did drink quite a bit, I was surprised you didn t drown She muttered against his lips before kissing him again.

He laughed and held her tight, "Don't be mean to me, light weight can't even finish a whole glass before you start slobbering "

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

She gasped and whacked his chest lightly. I donotslobber! I am a lady! A dignified, cultured noblewoman! She said, almost half mockingly, a smile clearly about to break out onto her face.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He laughed loudly, "Dignified noblewomen can still drool when they're drunk, silly " He teased.

He groaned loudly, "Oh, for Maker's sake.." He said before laughing.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime sat back, laughing so hard tears came to her eyes Masamune made her heart ache, made her smile so much it hurt, she was beyond happy in every way he almost made her forget about Alessio.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"You're so pretty when you smile." He told her, a swoon in his tone.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime s face flushed more, already red from the wine. You re only saying that so I ll kiss you again.. She muttered bashfully.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"Is that so wrong ?" He asked, "You'll break my heart "

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime felt like her face was going to burst into flames with how hot it was, fidgeting were she was beside him. And what if I want you to kiss me?

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I absolutely will " He replied, "I'm not a monster "

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Will you..? She asked softly, reaching for his hand and lacing her fingers with his.

He squeezed her hand and leaned over to kiss her gently, lovingly.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"Make me." Kojurou challenged. Masamune became alarmed ans stood up quickly."Mego, easy, easy, it's ok.."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime unclenched her fists slightly, looking to Masamune, face red and tears still dripping down her face. No, it isn t! He always calls me a monster I m not!

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"You're not, far from it.." He assured before glaring at Kojurou, "I'll deal with him, let's get you back to the house." He took her hand and left their little picnic area with her.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime followed with no resistance, wiping her tears away angrily as they went. Why is he so horrible? I haven t done anything..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I..." He tried to find the words, "Kojurou is like any other templar, I think...they're all jerks."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime couldn t argue with that, she hated Templar s, they were all awful. I don t want so see him anymore, I don t anymore reminders of how grotesquely deformed I am..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I'll do what I can, Mego, I promise.." He told her, "But you aren't grotesque...not to me.."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

She couldn t look up at him, she was too shameful of her appearance to do so. I have Lyrium growing from me, I must look horrifying..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"If you think so..." He didn't really know how to deal with women, "I'll check on you after a bit, ok...?"

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime gave a nod, wiping away the last of her tears. I m sorry.. we were having such a nice time..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He shook his head, "No, it's alright...it wasn't your fault. Get some rest, ok? I'll deal with Kojurou.."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He opened the door and stepped inside, "Hey...you wanna talk...?"

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He could see that she had been crying, her eyes were puffy, and she had blue smears on her cheeks. About what..? She asked softly.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"Well...anything, really..." He said, "I missed you at dinner, so I wanted to make sure you were ok.."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

She nodded, holding her blankets tightly around her shoulders. I m alright, just feeling a little under the weather.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He moved over and sat beside her, "About anything in particular?"

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He could see that she had something to say, but she kept her mouth shut about whatever it was. Just.. I m not really sure..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He frowned, "Do you not want to talk about it...?"

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime seemed so small and sad, keeping her eyes down. Just typical mage and Templar quarrels. She muttered.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"Between you and Kojurou or just mages and templars in general?" He asked gently.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Kojurou.. She muttered, pulling her blankets around herself even tighter, as if you comfort herself. I don t understand him..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He made a soft noise, "I don't really understand him either...he takes what he does too seriously. He needs to lighten up some, if you ask me."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He scares me... I feel he wants to do me harm.. She mumbled, laying back down on the bed with a soft sigh.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He moved to lay beside her, holding her as best as he could, "I'm not gonna let him hurt you, Mego..."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime didn t move or push him away, letting him hold her in her bundle of blankets. Just... The way he looks at me, the hatred in his eyes..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I'll keep him away from you..." He said gently, holding her tighter, "He's still gotta rake orders from me, after all." He grinned.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura s disgrace was known by almost all by weeks end, no longer wearing his Templar armor, but simple plate mail as he guarded the Towers main entrance.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Mitsunari beat on him a lot for his failure but Akihime would always be there to stop it before it got too bad. But soon after, he would just flee from her it puzzled her.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura did his best to avoid having to interact with Akihime, as he was after all no longer a Templar. He was still stuck on guard duty, a mere foot soldier and grunt worker he was grateful however to not be fully stripped of his title.He wasn t sure of how to address Akihime, not after what he had done. It made knots in his gut, it was all he could think about, and even if she said she forgave him, he could not.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"Sanada." Oh no. Akihime had found him again, how was she so good at finding him? "Why will you refuse my company? I thought we were friends."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

I.. He turned to face Akihime, his shoulders sagging a bit as he saw her face, a faint bruise still present on her cheek. We are friends, I just... What was he supposed to say to something like this? I m sorry, I just thought it be better if I stayed away.. His one face was heavily bruised, split lip oozing blood still.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

She took out her handkerchief and started to gently dab thr blood away, "Is Mitsunari still causing you harm? For what happened? You know I place no blame on you."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura winced when she blotted his lip, a soft frown forming on his lips. I know you don t Akihime dono... But I can t forgive myself..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"The Maker forgives all things if you pray for it." She told him gently.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

His heart ached in his chest, another thing he couldn t bring himself to face, how was he supposed to face the Maker? No, he had to, Akihime was right. He gave a small nod. I know.. Thank you, but... Until I can find the courage, I don t know if we should spend time together.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

She lowered her gaze, "I find that notion to be rather silly and unnecessary, but I will not force you to feel any undue discomfort."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

I m sorry Akihime... I don t mean to make this a painful ordeal, but I feel I have no right to see you. Yukimura admitted.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I understand." She said, though she didn't really. It was illogical for him to do this she forgave him, so he should just accept it and move on. Why didn't he? She might have understood better if she weren't Tranquil, maybe. But that would always be the case."I suppose I will see you when I see you."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura was saddened to see Akihime go, but he just couldn t bring himself to forgive himself, no, not yet. Goodbye, Akihime..

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Her new guardian always seemed to lose track of her, which annoyed Mitsunari greatly. She was always found in random areas of the tower, places she really had no place being. It annoyed the Knight Captain greatly. The incident between her and Yukimura seemed so long ago, and it felt like she had completely forgotten about him. It was months since he had seen her last, and if he hadn't heard all the chatter about her appearing randomly all over the place, he would think she was gone. At least until some odd men came to the tower. They had templar armor but it also wasn't. It had an odd symbol of an eye on the chest. Who were they?

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura was busy scrubbing the floors when he heard the commotion, saw people heading to the main tower hall for what? He set the scrub brush down and moved to follow, curious as to what was happening.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"This is an outrage! You cannot just take my mage! Mysister!" Mitsunari was screaming at the top of his lungs, furious as ever.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

There were quite a few people gathered, both mages and Templar s even a few Tranquil s stood silently and watched. Yukimura did his best to see what was happening, brows furrowed as he pushed his way through the crowd to see just exactly what was happening.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Mitsunari was yelling at a man with white hair and a purple mask, Akihime standing with a couple of the oddly armored Not Templars."I demand to know why you're taking her!" Mitsunari yelled."That is strictly need to know, Mitsunari my boy, and I need not tell you." The man said. Akihime looked up and saw Yukimura, watching him quietly. She was being taken away? To where?"She is too old to be taught in the Vigil!""None are too old for Andraste's grace."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura felt his stomach turn in knots, what was this? What were they talking about? Why were they taking Akihime? Was something wrong with her? Was she going to be taken away?

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"She will train at the Vigil and if she passes her training, she will become a Seeker.""Out of the question!!" Mitsunari argued, "She is a Tranquil! She will be of no use to you!""What do you care what happens to her? She's Tranquil. If she fails, she'll become an archivist.""Serah," Akihime piped up, "I thank you for this opportunity. I will train at your Vigil, even if I doomed to fail it.""You have no issue leaving the tower?" Hanbei asked. Akihime was quiet for a moment, and she glanced at Yukimura briefly before looking back at Hanbei."There is nothing for me here, serah." She replied.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Yukimura felt like time had stopped, like a spell had been cast to cloud his head he couldn t look away from Akihime, but didn t want to look either. He had pushed her away, pushed her too far and now she was gone, but he only had himself to blame.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"I believe that settles that." Hanbei smiled though it was less than comforting, "Will you need to pack?""No, serah, I can leave as I am." She replied."Akihime..." Mitsunari looked devastated and she looked to him with her blank expression."I will come back if I can, Mitsunari. I will not abandon you as father did." She replied. Hanbei and the other Seekers moved to leave and Akihime stopped beside Yukimura."Take care, Sanada. This is good bye for the foreseeable future."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Akihime I .. That s enough of that, get moving. Akihime was pushed forward a bit roughly, the Seeker behind her scowling at Yukimura. I m sure your boyfriend ll miss you plenty, blah blah.. He sneered.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"He isn't..." Akihime stopped and looked back at Yukimura as she walked away, her eyes for the first time looking sad.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Nana was back in Kirkwall, docking for the next few days to let her crew rest and to restock on supplies. For the night however, she was determined to simply get drunk and have a good time.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Motochika was stressed from his watch, he needed to unwind. So, he went to the Hanged Man to lose his tensions in ale.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

When he approached the bar, he saw a very familiar person, one he didn t particularly want to see in that moment. Nana was already slamming down what looked like a big mug of brandy.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He was immediately tense again and growled in annoyance. Just ignore her, he told himself. He moved to a seat as far from her as possible and hoped she didn't see him.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

It was hard not to notice when Motochika walked into the room, so Nana noticed him almost right away. Ah, guard, I think only customers are allowed at the bar! She called over, obviously already a bit drunk.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He grimaced and tried to ignore her. He wasn't going to let her bother him right now.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Surely she would just give up and go back to drinking, but sadly, Motochika was not a lucky man that night. Surely your ears are working, right, guard ? Nana plopped down into the seat beside him, one hand on his shoulder and her mug in the other.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

He growled lowly, "Go away, I haven't the time to deal with you tonight."

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Of course you do! You ve time to drink, you ve time to bother with me for a moment She took a big swig from her mug and waved the barkeep down. Get this man an ale, on me!

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"You're too kind..." He grumbled irately, only looking relieved when the tankard was put in front of him.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

Nana made a satisfied noise and took another swig from her own tankard, looking rather pleased.

In Hushed Whispers (1×1 with Jikkah)

"You're rather chipper.." He said, taking his cup and drinking from it.
