Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	As he swam and enjoyed the sea, a group of fishermen were making their way down the path to theor usual spot. Which was where Nana was sitting.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana had moved a bit to sit beside Motochika s clothes, even having folded them and carefully placed his pelt on top, enjoying the cool breeze of the sea.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Hey, look..." One whispered to the others and pointed to Nana, "She has a Selkie pelt.""What? Is it hers?""Dunno. But still. A Selkie would be beneficial for us.""Should we take it?""Yeah, let's go get it."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana sat enjoying the view of the sea, not seeing Motochika at all, but not worrying too much about him. She didn t hear the men approaching until they were right behind her, making her jump a little. Oh! I didn t see you there! She said, giving a small wave.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"That pelt." One stated, "We want it.""Habd it over or die.""We ain't afraid to hurt you."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana felt a cold jolt go through her and she instinctively put her hand on the pelt, offering a forced smile. Th That s not really a funny joke... She said, clearly uncomfortable.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We mean it.""Hand it over, woman."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana gripped the pelt tightly, pulling it close to her chest. No, please go away, this doesn t belong to you. She said quietly, holding onto the pelt tightly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	They moved and grabbed the pelt two of them trying to pull it from her while the other tried pulling her away from the pelt itself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	No! Let go! Nana held onto the pelt as tightly as she could, trying to keep it against her chest. She struggled and kicked, fighting hard not to lose something so important.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Let go!" One tried smashing her fingers while the one pulling at her put his arm around her neck.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana bit back her cries of pain as he stomped on her hand, unable to really scream or breath since the man holding her was choking her, but she still refused to let go. Without thinking, she bit the mans arm, teeth breaking his skin.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He cried out and threw her to the ground, kicking her as hard as he could as they still struggled to get the pelt from her. Motochika had heard the cry even over the roaring sea and hurried to shore, wondering what was happening.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana grunted and gritted her teeth, being kicked in the ribs and face over and over. She couldn t protect her face, that would mean she would have to let go of the pelt, so it was only natural that after a kick or two to the head did she start to taste blood.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	After what felt like forever, the man had stopped kicking, and the other two had released the pelt. Motochika stood with one man dead at his feet, his neck snapped and his head twisted with inhuman force."D Don't kill us...! We're sorry!""Sorry?Pigs like you don't deserve mercy." Motochika hissed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana was gasping from both fear of actually being killed, and from the pain, slowly pulling the pelt against her chest and curling up around it, as if to shield it. M Motochika, dont.. Her voice came out weakly, speech slurred slight from her busted lip. Just let them go.. Her face was a mess, eye swollen halfway shut, lip split, and her nose gushing blood.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He glanced at her, for once his glassy dead eye looked terrifying. His expression softened slightly before twisting into a scowl, "Fine. Get out of here." He ordered. The fisherman bolted from the beach for their lives and Motochika moved to Nana, "Are you ok?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana did her best to smile at Motochika, wheezing a bit. I I think so... She slowly brought the pelt away from herself, offering it to Motochika. I m sorry, I think I got some blood on it..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He frowned and gently took it, "I don't care if you got blood on it, it can be cleaned...I'm more worried about you.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She shook her head and slowly tried to get up, but only made it into a sitting position, wincing and holding her ribs. I I m ok...! Really..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You idiot..." He muttered, "You should have let them have it...! You wouldn't be this hurt!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She blinked, looking up at him. But, then they would ve taken your pelt..! They would ve done horrible things to you..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I don't care. I don't care! They could have killed you!" He told her, "What would I have done then?!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Hot tears dripped down Nana s bruised cheeks as she stared in shock at Motochika. I I... Gomenasai... She said quietly. Gomenasai...!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He pulled her close and held her, tight and securely, "You idiot...you pure bafoon."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana didn t push him away, even though he crouched before her stark naked. I m sorry, I couldn t just let them do that... I couldn t let them do horrible things to you..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Why? I'm not that important, I'm not even human...!" He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	You re important to me..! She protested against his chest, hugging close to him even though it hurt her ribs. You re kind, and you re funny..! That s all that matters! I don t care about the rest..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You're important to me too!" He argued, "Don't do such stupid things like that!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It wasn t stupid! I d do it again if it meant I got to stay with you! She argued back.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He blushed softly, "I I wouldn't let that happen.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	You have to promise then! She sniffed, looking up at him. Promise nothing will happen to you...!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His expression softened, "I promise.." He swore gently, "I promise nothing will happen to me, Nana.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Her shoulders relaxed a little, her smile gentle. Good... Can you help me home...? I feel a little dizzy..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He nodded and easily picked her up, carrying her and his pelt back to the house.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	M Motochika.. Nana spoke up, face flushed slightly. You forgot your clothes on the beach..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He almost tripped, blushing heavily, "I'll go back for them, don't worry. Let's just get you home.'
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded, not arguing with him, her head hurt and was spinning too much for her to care much.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He brought her inside and gently set her in one of the chairs, covering up with his pelt, "I'll be right back."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana nodded, keeping her eyes away from his naked body as he left to retrieve his clothes from the beach. She carefully touched her bloody and bruised face, wincing a bit at how tender it was.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When he came back, he was dressed and immediately grabbing the first aid to treat her wounds, "Are your hands ok..?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	They hurt, but I can move my fingers. She said, able to wiggle her fingers a little, but not without a small wince.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We should get some ice on them.." He said, "I'm sorry I let this happen.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I can t use any kind of magics. Nana said, shaking her head.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"That has nothing to do with anything..." He said, "We can soak your hands in cold water,at least. It will reduce swelling. After that, you should get in the bath, ease any pain you have."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana felt like an idiot, of course, why was her mind on magic when they had cold sea water not to far off. Yeah.. I ll start a fire to warm the bath water a little..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I'll do it, you relax. Ok?" He said and kept her firmly seated, "You've done enough and you've earned a lot of rest."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded and only moved to her bead to lay down, letting out a soft groan of pain as she did. Do you think they re broken..? She asked. My ribs hurt so bad..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We may have to go to a healer if the bath doesn't help..." He told her, "I hope that's ok?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana gave a sad smile. I don t think I have the money for that.. She admitted. I ll be ok, it only hurts to move..! A And breathe...
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We'll go to a healer, I can trade some things for coin.." He said and moved to heat the bath.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana nodded and laid where she was, listening to Motochika as he started a fire for the bath behind the paper divider.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He came back when the fire was steady enough and he helped her to the tub, "If you need me, don't hesitate to shout. I'll find some things to take to pay for a healer.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded and waited until he had left her little bathing area to slowly undress and move into the shallow tub. The water stung her bruises, but felt good at the same time. She took her time carefully washing her face, hands trembling a bit from the pain.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Motochika was digging through some of the things he had brought from the sea rare shells and bits of ore he had found, precious rocks and stones. Anything that might bring in coin.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His attention was brought away from his treasures when he heard the wooden water bucket clatter to the floor in the bathing area had Nana fallen?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He became very alarmed and hurried to the bath, "Nana?! Nana, are you ok?!" He asked in a panic.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Motochika hadn t even realized he had rounded the corner of the bathing curtain until he saw Nana with his own eye. She had paused reaching over the tub to grab the bucket that had slipped out of her hands, glancing back when she saw Motochika, face immediately turning red. She abandon the bucket all together, quickly turning away to hide her chest, turning her back to him, her awfully mangled and burned back.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His eye widened slowly, "N Nana, your back...did they do that to you?" He asked, moving closer. No, they were old, faded. "What happened...?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana sat unmoving in the bath, still clutching her arms to her chest. O Oh... Those are old.. She said, embarrassed he was seeing her in the bath.The burns indeed were old, but they had been severe enough to mangle the flesh terribly, even after years of healing. The burns covered the entirety of her back, but worst of all was a cross shaped burn that stood out clearly against it all. It was centered with her spine, between her shoulder blades what had happened to her?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He hesitantly moved closer, "I can see that now...who did this to you? Why was this done...?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She didn t move away, only hung her head a bit. Witch hunters. She said softly. About ten years ago, they came and rounded all the women of the village up, they said they had to make sure we weren t hiding any witches. She reached over her shoulder to touch the lumpy, discolored flesh. Everyone either got the same or worse, no matter what was said. They had to be sure had to purge the evil, they said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He gently reached out and ghosted his fingers over the burns and scars, "I'm so sorry this was done to you..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana stiffened slightly, but quickly relaxed, sitting still and letting him touch her back. It s ok, they don t hurt anymore, they re just ugly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"All of you is beautiful, Nana...no matter what ignorant humans want to believe. You're like a pearl that grew in a dark trench shining and lovely and unique." He told her, "I really love that about you..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana felt hot tears burning down her bruised face, dripping into the warm bath water as she stared down at it. My skin hardly looks like skin anymore... How could that at all be beautiful..? She whispered, trembling slightly as she held back more tears.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Because the woman inside said skin has the most beautiful personality I have ever known. She puts others before herself, and wants everyone to be happy and always wear a smile. She has made me feel very welcome on land where I would rather feel safer in the sea. She nearly gave her life to protect me from selfish fishermen. And I love her very deeply for these things.." He told her softly
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He could see her ears had turned red and she hiccuped, wiping her tears away with the backs of her hands. I love you too.. She said softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He hugged her gently to his chest and gave a small laugh, "I'm sorry if this is awkward.." He said with a playful tone.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana shook her head again, resting her head against his chest, not caring that her hair made his clothes wet. It feels nice.. She said softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"How else can I do to make you feel nice, Nana...?" He asked gently, "I owe you so much for what you've done for me..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She turned her head a bit to look up at him, cheeks flushed a deep red as she looked at him. K Kiss.. Tumbled out of her mouth without even realizing it.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He blushed and gently cupped her cheek before kissing her gently. His lips were chapped from the salty sea, rough like he was. It suited him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana s lips were full and soft, hot where her lip was split, but nice feeling regardless. She kissed him back, and her kiss was as gentle as she was, putting her injured hands on his chest as she turned to face him fully.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He held her gently, his hands moving down her back slowly to gently rest over the curve of her hips. He didn't care if she got his clothes wet either, they could be dried easily.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She pulled away slightly to breath, then kissed him once again, holding tight to Motochika as she did so. Her heart pounded in her chest, making a soft noise of delight as she kissed him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He made a low noise and held her firmly, hoping he wasn't putting any unwanted pressure on her ribs. He heated the kiss only a little, of course he was a little nervous himself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana felt a heat spread down her stomach and into her lower regions, making her legs tremble slightly as she followed his lead, and deepened the kiss as well.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He almost crawled into the bath with her just to be closer to her, gently nipping her lower lip and asking for permission.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana parted her lips to allow him into her mouth, a soft moan escaping her, the heat in her nethers only growing more intense. It felt good, having him almost on top of her, kissing her like he was, rough hands on her body.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He pulled away, breathing a little labored from his excitement, "W We should get you to the healer, check out these bruises.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded, face flushed as she tried to catch her breath. Y Yeah..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Do you want help at all?" He flushed darkly, "I'm sorry I just barged in...!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I It s ok! I just need help finding out my hair... She admitted. It hurts when I lift the bucket over my head.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I'll help.." He offered and grabbed the bucket, "You fill, I'll pour.." He said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded, taking the bucket and filling it in the tub before her before handing it out to Motochika, still a little embarrassed, but at the same time, it made her heart flutter to know he was looking at her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He gently poured the water over her hair, brushing any back to keep the water from her eyes, "This is very new and very exciting. I've never manually taken a bath before. I usually let the ocean do it." He grinned.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana looked up at him, water dripping from the ends of her hair. Really? I haven t really thought about it, but I guess I figured you didn t really need to bath, being in water all the time.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He grinned, "Sometimes if I don't like smelling like the sea, I find fresh water springs and rivers to bath in. I know I good spot with a waterfall surprisingly not far from here."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	We ll have to go there soon then. She said with a soft smile as she filled the bucket again and handed it back.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He nodded, "It's a date." He said as he rinsed her hair gently, "Was that the right word?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Date. She had never experienced such a thing. She gave a numb nod. A date, mmhm. She smiled again, even though it hurt to do so.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He set the bucket aside and hugged her shoulders gently, "When you're ready, we'll go."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded and left the bath to dry off before changing into clean clothes while Motochika doused the fire. She made sure her hair was mostly dry before wrapping her cloak around her, waiting for Motochika by the door.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He left his pelt in a safe place, grabbing the cloak Nana had worked very hard to make him and pulling it over his shoulders. He held a small bag of trinkets that he planned to sell and moved to her, "Shall we?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She took his arm and nodded, following after him at a decent pace as they headed back toward the city.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He shot the breeze with her as they went, keeping her spirits up as they walked. He kept her arm secure around his and placed his hand over hers for added comfort and moral support.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime kept track of the days by carving tally marks into the wall behind the bed, and so far she had been there eleven days, eleven miserable days were she did nothing but sit alone for hours on end, only to have the man named Kojurou entered at the exact same time every day to feed her and occasionally change the linens. She felt like she was going to go crazy if she sat there another day by herself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You know, you can ask to come out and look around." Kojurou said one day, "We don't bite."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime peered over the bed at him as he replaced the pillow covers. Masamune told me differently, he said unless I helped him, I d be stuck here until I died. She said flatly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

As he swam and enjoyed the sea, a group of fishermen were making their way down the path to theor usual spot. Which was where Nana was sitting.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana had moved a bit to sit beside Motochika s clothes, even having folded them and carefully placed his pelt on top, enjoying the cool breeze of the sea.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana sat enjoying the view of the sea, not seeing Motochika at all, but not worrying too much about him. She didn t hear the men approaching until they were right behind her, making her jump a little. Oh! I didn t see you there! She said, giving a small wave.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"That pelt." One stated, "We want it.""Habd it over or die.""We ain't afraid to hurt you."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana felt a cold jolt go through her and she instinctively put her hand on the pelt, offering a forced smile. Th That s not really a funny joke... She said, clearly uncomfortable.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Her voice came out weakly, speech slurred slight from her busted lip. Just let them go.. Her face was a mess, eye swollen halfway shut, lip split, and her nose gushing blood.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He glanced at her, for once his glassy dead eye looked terrifying. His expression softened slightly before twisting into a scowl, "Fine. Get out of here." He ordered. The fisherman bolted from the beach for their lives and Motochika moved to Nana, "Are you ok?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana did her best to smile at Motochika, wheezing a bit. I I think so... She slowly brought the pelt away from herself, offering it to Motochika. I m sorry, I think I got some blood on it..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He frowned and gently took it, "I don't care if you got blood on it, it can be cleaned...I'm more worried about you.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She shook her head and slowly tried to get up, but only made it into a sitting position, wincing and holding her ribs. I I m ok...! Really..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You idiot..." He muttered, "You should have let them have it...! You wouldn't be this hurt!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She blinked, looking up at him. But, then they would ve taken your pelt..! They would ve done horrible things to you..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I don't care. I don't care! They could have killed you!" He told her, "What would I have done then?!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Hot tears dripped down Nana s bruised cheeks as she stared in shock at Motochika. I I... Gomenasai... She said quietly. Gomenasai...!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He pulled her close and held her, tight and securely, "You idiot...you pure bafoon."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana didn t push him away, even though he crouched before her stark naked. I m sorry, I couldn t just let them do that... I couldn t let them do horrible things to you..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Why? I'm not that important, I'm not even human...!" He told her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

You re important to me..! She protested against his chest, hugging close to him even though it hurt her ribs. You re kind, and you re funny..! That s all that matters! I don t care about the rest..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You're important to me too!" He argued, "Don't do such stupid things like that!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It wasn t stupid! I d do it again if it meant I got to stay with you! She argued back.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He blushed softly, "I I wouldn't let that happen.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

You have to promise then! She sniffed, looking up at him. Promise nothing will happen to you...!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His expression softened, "I promise.." He swore gently, "I promise nothing will happen to me, Nana.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Her shoulders relaxed a little, her smile gentle. Good... Can you help me home...? I feel a little dizzy..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He nodded and easily picked her up, carrying her and his pelt back to the house.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

M Motochika.. Nana spoke up, face flushed slightly. You forgot your clothes on the beach..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He almost tripped, blushing heavily, "I'll go back for them, don't worry. Let's just get you home.'

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded, not arguing with him, her head hurt and was spinning too much for her to care much.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He brought her inside and gently set her in one of the chairs, covering up with his pelt, "I'll be right back."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana nodded, keeping her eyes away from his naked body as he left to retrieve his clothes from the beach. She carefully touched her bloody and bruised face, wincing a bit at how tender it was.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When he came back, he was dressed and immediately grabbing the first aid to treat her wounds, "Are your hands ok..?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

They hurt, but I can move my fingers. She said, able to wiggle her fingers a little, but not without a small wince.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We should get some ice on them.." He said, "I'm sorry I let this happen.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I can t use any kind of magics. Nana said, shaking her head.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"That has nothing to do with anything..." He said, "We can soak your hands in cold water,at least. It will reduce swelling. After that, you should get in the bath, ease any pain you have."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana felt like an idiot, of course, why was her mind on magic when they had cold sea water not to far off. Yeah.. I ll start a fire to warm the bath water a little..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I'll do it, you relax. Ok?" He said and kept her firmly seated, "You've done enough and you've earned a lot of rest."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded and only moved to her bead to lay down, letting out a soft groan of pain as she did. Do you think they re broken..? She asked. My ribs hurt so bad..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We may have to go to a healer if the bath doesn't help..." He told her, "I hope that's ok?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana gave a sad smile. I don t think I have the money for that.. She admitted. I ll be ok, it only hurts to move..! A And breathe...

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We'll go to a healer, I can trade some things for coin.." He said and moved to heat the bath.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana nodded and laid where she was, listening to Motochika as he started a fire for the bath behind the paper divider.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He came back when the fire was steady enough and he helped her to the tub, "If you need me, don't hesitate to shout. I'll find some things to take to pay for a healer.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded and waited until he had left her little bathing area to slowly undress and move into the shallow tub. The water stung her bruises, but felt good at the same time. She took her time carefully washing her face, hands trembling a bit from the pain.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Motochika was digging through some of the things he had brought from the sea rare shells and bits of ore he had found, precious rocks and stones. Anything that might bring in coin.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His attention was brought away from his treasures when he heard the wooden water bucket clatter to the floor in the bathing area had Nana fallen?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He became very alarmed and hurried to the bath, "Nana?! Nana, are you ok?!" He asked in a panic.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Motochika hadn t even realized he had rounded the corner of the bathing curtain until he saw Nana with his own eye. She had paused reaching over the tub to grab the bucket that had slipped out of her hands, glancing back when she saw Motochika, face immediately turning red. She abandon the bucket all together, quickly turning away to hide her chest, turning her back to him, her awfully mangled and burned back.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His eye widened slowly, "N Nana, your back...did they do that to you?" He asked, moving closer. No, they were old, faded. "What happened...?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana sat unmoving in the bath, still clutching her arms to her chest. O Oh... Those are old.. She said, embarrassed he was seeing her in the bath.The burns indeed were old, but they had been severe enough to mangle the flesh terribly, even after years of healing. The burns covered the entirety of her back, but worst of all was a cross shaped burn that stood out clearly against it all. It was centered with her spine, between her shoulder blades what had happened to her?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He hesitantly moved closer, "I can see that now...who did this to you? Why was this done...?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She didn t move away, only hung her head a bit. Witch hunters. She said softly. About ten years ago, they came and rounded all the women of the village up, they said they had to make sure we weren t hiding any witches. She reached over her shoulder to touch the lumpy, discolored flesh. Everyone either got the same or worse, no matter what was said. They had to be sure had to purge the evil, they said.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He gently reached out and ghosted his fingers over the burns and scars, "I'm so sorry this was done to you..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana stiffened slightly, but quickly relaxed, sitting still and letting him touch her back. It s ok, they don t hurt anymore, they re just ugly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"All of you is beautiful, Nana...no matter what ignorant humans want to believe. You're like a pearl that grew in a dark trench shining and lovely and unique." He told her, "I really love that about you..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana felt hot tears burning down her bruised face, dripping into the warm bath water as she stared down at it. My skin hardly looks like skin anymore... How could that at all be beautiful..? She whispered, trembling slightly as she held back more tears.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Because the woman inside said skin has the most beautiful personality I have ever known. She puts others before herself, and wants everyone to be happy and always wear a smile. She has made me feel very welcome on land where I would rather feel safer in the sea. She nearly gave her life to protect me from selfish fishermen. And I love her very deeply for these things.." He told her softly

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He could see her ears had turned red and she hiccuped, wiping her tears away with the backs of her hands. I love you too.. She said softly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He hugged her gently to his chest and gave a small laugh, "I'm sorry if this is awkward.." He said with a playful tone.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana shook her head again, resting her head against his chest, not caring that her hair made his clothes wet. It feels nice.. She said softly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"How else can I do to make you feel nice, Nana...?" He asked gently, "I owe you so much for what you've done for me..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She turned her head a bit to look up at him, cheeks flushed a deep red as she looked at him. K Kiss.. Tumbled out of her mouth without even realizing it.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He blushed and gently cupped her cheek before kissing her gently. His lips were chapped from the salty sea, rough like he was. It suited him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana s lips were full and soft, hot where her lip was split, but nice feeling regardless. She kissed him back, and her kiss was as gentle as she was, putting her injured hands on his chest as she turned to face him fully.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He held her gently, his hands moving down her back slowly to gently rest over the curve of her hips. He didn't care if she got his clothes wet either, they could be dried easily.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She pulled away slightly to breath, then kissed him once again, holding tight to Motochika as she did so. Her heart pounded in her chest, making a soft noise of delight as she kissed him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He made a low noise and held her firmly, hoping he wasn't putting any unwanted pressure on her ribs. He heated the kiss only a little, of course he was a little nervous himself.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana felt a heat spread down her stomach and into her lower regions, making her legs tremble slightly as she followed his lead, and deepened the kiss as well.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He almost crawled into the bath with her just to be closer to her, gently nipping her lower lip and asking for permission.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana parted her lips to allow him into her mouth, a soft moan escaping her, the heat in her nethers only growing more intense. It felt good, having him almost on top of her, kissing her like he was, rough hands on her body.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He pulled away, breathing a little labored from his excitement, "W We should get you to the healer, check out these bruises.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded, face flushed as she tried to catch her breath. Y Yeah..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Do you want help at all?" He flushed darkly, "I'm sorry I just barged in...!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I It s ok! I just need help finding out my hair... She admitted. It hurts when I lift the bucket over my head.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I'll help.." He offered and grabbed the bucket, "You fill, I'll pour.." He said.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded, taking the bucket and filling it in the tub before her before handing it out to Motochika, still a little embarrassed, but at the same time, it made her heart flutter to know he was looking at her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He gently poured the water over her hair, brushing any back to keep the water from her eyes, "This is very new and very exciting. I've never manually taken a bath before. I usually let the ocean do it." He grinned.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana looked up at him, water dripping from the ends of her hair. Really? I haven t really thought about it, but I guess I figured you didn t really need to bath, being in water all the time.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He grinned, "Sometimes if I don't like smelling like the sea, I find fresh water springs and rivers to bath in. I know I good spot with a waterfall surprisingly not far from here."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

We ll have to go there soon then. She said with a soft smile as she filled the bucket again and handed it back.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He nodded, "It's a date." He said as he rinsed her hair gently, "Was that the right word?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Date. She had never experienced such a thing. She gave a numb nod. A date, mmhm. She smiled again, even though it hurt to do so.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He set the bucket aside and hugged her shoulders gently, "When you're ready, we'll go."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded and left the bath to dry off before changing into clean clothes while Motochika doused the fire. She made sure her hair was mostly dry before wrapping her cloak around her, waiting for Motochika by the door.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He left his pelt in a safe place, grabbing the cloak Nana had worked very hard to make him and pulling it over his shoulders. He held a small bag of trinkets that he planned to sell and moved to her, "Shall we?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She took his arm and nodded, following after him at a decent pace as they headed back toward the city.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He shot the breeze with her as they went, keeping her spirits up as they walked. He kept her arm secure around his and placed his hand over hers for added comfort and moral support.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime kept track of the days by carving tally marks into the wall behind the bed, and so far she had been there eleven days, eleven miserable days were she did nothing but sit alone for hours on end, only to have the man named Kojurou entered at the exact same time every day to feed her and occasionally change the linens. She felt like she was going to go crazy if she sat there another day by herself.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You know, you can ask to come out and look around." Kojurou said one day, "We don't bite."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime peered over the bed at him as he replaced the pillow covers. Masamune told me differently, he said unless I helped him, I d be stuck here until I died. She said flatly.
