What a day to be returning home, it was miserable. The sky above was overcast, the rumble of thunder was heard in the distance and a flash of lightning had just brightened the area briefly. "It seems someone upset the gods today." he commented to himself as he walked down the street his jade coloured pinyin protecting him from the torrential rain that was falling. It had been over six months since he was last home and though he had missed everyone he was also worried about the reaction and reception he would receive as he had been out of contact for a while thanks to his schedule. Stopping at the wooden gates he felt dread and the want to run in the opposite direction but he knew he'd eventually have to deal with what was to come and likely would only get worse the longer that he was away.
After steeling himself he passed the threshold entering the estate, stopping to pay respects to the guardians that protected their home before continuing down the path. Once under shelter he lowered his umbrella and handed it to a shocked passing servant "Y... young lord..." the woman said "Please do not announce my return, I wish to settle first." he said his voice completely calm as he spoke. He was tired and already knew that pandemonium was likely awaiting him when it was known he was back. Without another word he entered the house and quietly moved to his room attempting to avoid as many people as he could requesting that his presence not be announced to anyone for now. He knew someone would say something because he didn't trust a single person he met on his way to take his wishes into consideration as they never had in the past.
Once in his room he closed the door and just sat on the floor before falling back releasing a sigh of relief his arms sprawled on the floor as he looked at the ceiling. He knew he'd only be alone briefly and wished it would be longer but he felt like he could currently decompress and relax. The world was outside what was his sanctury and could no longer bother him... at least for now...

A Small figure was standing on the rooftop of the Honoka estate, coated in a thin layer of gemstone, covering it's entirety. "Oh seems someone is finally home." Spoke the figure quietly looking up at the down pour as she tilted her head "Now to tell...Or not to tell? He better brought my gifts." Spoke the figure jumping down from the roof top ledges into the garden moving under the protection of the over hang, allowing the gemstone to reside and disappear before the tiny rabbit eared mana beast moved through the home with a hum, holding her hands behind her back. Avoiding the notice of nearly everyone as most didn't tend to look down to notice her. Which was fine by her. Moving down the hallways towards her destination she stopped outside the door to a room nearly no one dared to enter without a strict scolding of the matron of the estate. This was around the same time the eldest daughter Sumire reached the same doors as the two looked at each other.
[break][break] "Sumire..."Spoke the Manabeast.[break]
"Fu Yue...you are late for your duties." Spoke sumire[break]
"I don't know what your talking about." Spoke the manabeast playing dumb.[break]
Sumire smiled lifting her fingers to her mouth as the Manabeast shaked her head looking around "I wouldn't" spoke the creature as Sumire whistled hearing the sound of a few sets of feet running through the halls "She is overe here!" Called Sumire.[break] "Ah! I am not playing tag!" Exclaimed Fu yue seeing a small parade of kids coming towards her , causing her to run the other way as Sumire side stepped into the bedroom shutting the door behind her.[break]
"I thought I heard a different melody enter our home." She spoke looking into the room at the figure on the floor looking exhausted " It is a relief the spirits kept you safe and brought you home." She spoke gently.
[break][break] She had a simple pink hanfu on with her hair down and free behind her. Her soft sapphire blue eyes watched her little brother. She loved all her family that same, they were the world to her just as much as her love for her work. Akihiko has always been one who seem to naturally draw people to him, more then he would like whether it was back home or in their current. She had been keeping what notes she can of his schedule from rumors and gossip of those who knew of the young idol. She knew Fu yue was always keeping watch and waiting for any word or sight. While she might feel bad for the manabeast having to take her place in watching the kids. She had a valid reason of wanting to see her brother before he get bombarded by the circus they called a family and the wild petting zoo of hyper childern she called siblings.
[break][break] "Welcome back Aki." She said gently moving over to him sitting down next to him. [break][break]
A first this item may seem like a simple thin, yet large golden ring that could be used as a bracelet, that is until each of the other pieces are connected. The first seems to be an elaborate hair comb whose teeth are made to sit inside the ring, this part of the hairpin is adorned with carefully crafted butterflies and flowers made of several different colours of jade. The flowers have small pearls in the centre while each of the butterfly's antennae is made from gold with a small piece of mother of pearl at the top. At the base of the comb section of the hairpin, there are three golden chains which start with three pearls, then three small gold charms, three more pearls, three small golden balls, and two butterflies on the outer chain while the centre is split into three additional chains. The centre has mother of pearl beads. Each of the five chains has a small carved pearl flower. To make sure the ring and comb stay in place the last piece of this elaborate hairpin is the pin itself which is made from gold that has a pearl at the top with two splintering golden chains that have the same small carved pearl flowers.[break]
History:[break]
The history of this hairpin has been a long one, in fact, it has been around for so long and had so many owners that the adornments and chains had once been broken, chipped or lost. The origins of the hairpin weren't anything significant, a man met a woman, the man fell in love with that woman and wanted to show his devotion to her and so made a token of his love. It was something that was given to the firstborn son of the Yinsil family at their coming of age so they may give it to their betrothed when he felt the pang of love for her. By the time it had gotten to Enlil, it was nothing more than a husk of its former self and so through painstaking love and attention to detail he removed each of the old adornments making them into new pieces of jewellery for his mother and sisters before crafting brand new ones for the woman that would one day be his wife. It had taken him years to get the hairpin in such a state that he found it aesthetically pleasing to look at and that his future wife would feel honoured to wear it to show their bond of love.
[break][break] Abilities:
[break][break] The wearer of Xià Rì Zhī Liàn gains access to the perks 'Full Blitz' and 'Self Repairing'
Touching the twin chains of the pin starting at the pearl before moving to the pearl flowers saying "Shèngkāi" creates what seems like blue jade flower petals to fall from the sky which surround the wearer. These petals are no bigger than apple blossom petals and remain within six inches of the wearer on all sides almost like a bubble. The petals can take up to intermediate damage before being destroyed, however, if the gem petal bubble isn't destroyed it will repair itself the following round. With the use of the ammo rules, the wearer can say the name of allies to have them gain the same benefits from this ability.[break]
Raising their dominant hand to the sky they circle their wrist gracefully as they lower their hand almost as if a falling flower petal, the circle motion must happen four times for the ability to activate. At the base of the wearer's feet, is a seal made from topaz, looking closer makes it almost seem as if it is designed after bamboo. This seal has two effects, the first being a marking which looks like a topaz bamboo shoot that appears at the back of the wearer's hand increasing their physical strength to junior rank damage while also giving their physical attacks a magical backing. The second is that if an attack gets close a thick bamboo-like forest made from topaz sprouts around the wearer. This forest is only around twelve inches away from the user and requires intermediate damage before it is destroyed, however, if the forest isn't destroyed then it will repair itself the very following round.

This ability is passive due to this the word count to raise it will be added to the relics word count as it will increase at the exact same time. For now, this ability seems inactive due to no real connection made with the relic, however, as the relic gets stronger the wearer will find that their speed will increase by one rank lower as per the passive buff rules.
The youth remained sprawled on his bedroom floor wanting to remain alone for the first few days of arriving back at home, he, however, doubted that would ever happen. Luckily, he knew that his mother had made his bedroom his sanctuary after the day they had the heart to heart meaning it was off limits to everyone without him giving permission or his mother doing so and it had to be a very good reason before she would allow it. His eyes began to close as he started drifting off into a light sleep, he knew he should go to bed if resting was his intention but he just felt so drained and unable to move. He was content at current and that's all he could ask for, well that was until he heard a ruckus right outside of his bedroom making his eyes flutter open with a light groan of annoyance leaving his lips.
"So much for silence." he complained to himself, he already knew that the chance for him to be alone was gone and so he waited for the inevitable to happen, his door to be knocked. He was far from happy it was written all over his face. He needed to decompress and the moment that he had even started it was stolen from him. 'perhaps I shouldn't have come back, perhaps I should have just gone to a hotel to decompress and then come home when I didn't need alone time.' he thought to himself, it was the same thoughts every time things like this happened but not once had he ever went through with it, but this time he was seriously considering just up and leaving regardless of how it would be taken. He understood that he was gone for months at a time but it wasn't fair to him that he was essentially given no space as soon as he got home.
Hearing his older sister's voice from the other side of the door he grumbled a little more and listened as Fu Yue said something before the dashing of feet went passed his room before the door was opened. He opened his eyes and looked to the ceiling "I don't recall giving you permission to enter my room Sumire, did mother give you it?" he would ask unmoving otherwise "I am sure you wouldn't be all that happy if I came into your room without an invitation." his voice sounded tired and irritated, he honestly felt like his boundaries had just been trampled on as it was a simple request of respect for another's private area. "Our ancestors watched over me as did the deities." he said trying to push his irritation down.
He knew that she was likely happy that he was home after months of not seeing him, right now he knew he was being selfish and somewhat hostile and he honestly didn't care. "The melody hasn't changed since last I was home although it does seem more chaotic." he would reply pushing himself onto his elbows lazily "Thank you Sumire, but what is so urgent that you needed my attention the second I returned home?" he would ask, he wasn't trying to be mean but he was mentally drained, this would be something she would have been used to seeing from him after such a long tour and then having to interact with people as soon as he got home. He was even somewhat like this towards their parents but he did try and keep his mask up around them in this situation although it was difficult.

Sumire closed her eyes thinking it over. She had some logic for just coming in, while it was not something she often just did to barge in, she watching about to get tan over by the childern wanting to play tag after having lost the manabeast several times around." As much as It was not my intention, I did not wish to get ran over by our siblings upon the hunt of their hyper game of tag with Fu yue, as they often did when days are such as this. So I do request you forgive this trespass. "She spoke softly
[break][break] She tilted her head up in thought " While that is true, Fu yue mother and all the other siblings have taken a liking to waking me up, getting me dressed for all these sudden trips to the Yuiee so early in the morning without much regard. Then again those trips have luckily greatly lessened to my liking." She spoke softly. She had gotten into the good graces of all three Yuiee childern, in one way or another. Two of them were more prompted by her father, the third was a very welcomed one of learning and such relaxation of the few days she had spent learning even more of herself and the world around herself with a brand new way of sensory.
[break][break] "I suppose I have grown use to this melody, it is comforting even if it is chaotic, but It has felt like it was missing a few notes, If I was honest. As for why I disturbed you so soon Is quiet simple. I prevented Fu yue from stirring up her want of her presents, which would have brought our siblings in on the fact you are home, which would have alerted mother, and then told father." She said gently. She could only imagine how he felt after being away for so long. She knew the feeling after her ordeal of missing for a few days against her wants then the task of traveling blind in the forsaken reign long enough to find someone who could lend her aide into the right direction. She remember not wanting to deal with anyone for days even if she was only allowed half a day to a day at most before having to continue as if she had never went missing even after her punishments and increased restrictions.
[break][break] "If anything, I bought you a few hours till they grew tired along with her to hopefully help you get some silence till mother does her rounds to ensuring harmony is still here with all of us sound asleep in our beds and your room comfortable and untouched for when you made your return home. It has became a nightly ritual as of lately since well... not hearing from you for some time now. You know how she gets when it comes to her kids. " She said resting her hands in her lap allowing her eyes to soft with sadness shaking her head slowly. "Maybe it was selfish of me to wanting to ensure I wasn't hearing a faint melody of a ghost of a dear memory of the wayward brother of mine." She said gently. [break][break]

He listened to his elder sister and sighed he honestly didn't believe a word of it, their siblings hadn't known he was home and even if they did they knew to give him space upon his return as he often wished to sleep a little before getting swept up in family things. He also knew that his room was off limits to everyone period so the only time they would enter was if the door was open as a welcomed invitation to all or if he himself invited them in. There were of course cabiats but they weren't called upon often. "Sumire, I have been home less than five minutes, I've seen three servants along the way so it's highly unlikely they knew I was home, besides, even if they did they know to give me some space until I am ready." he said in a tired tone.
"I'm not going to lie to you Sumire I'm irritated that my boundaries were so blatantly disregarded and thrown to the side just because you felt like you wanted to check to see if you were hearing things or not. You could have knocked on the door and asked." He said pushing himself up to be sat properly on the floor "Oh, not enjoying imperials giving you attention, perhaps you should mention it to father." he knew she wouldn't dare do such a thing and if she did it would simply be disregarded as their father looked to secure the family every way he could. In honesty, he found it bothersome but it wasn't his burden to bear so he remained quiet on the entire thing. Even if people didn't know that he was an Honoka while he was an idol they knew that he wore their clothing and so that drummed up clients in his own way.
He knew he was being an ass at the moment and that he would have to apologise later, but there was a reason he preferred to be alone especially after just returning home, he wasn't his normal self. She and the rest of the family knew that he essentially lived the life of two people and it was tiring for him but he did it because if he didn't then he would essentially become a shut-in for a second time, the fear their mother had was if it happened a second time there may be no way of undoing it. When he decided that he would live his double life this was the solution offered so that he could transition from one to the other, it was one that he happily accepted. Even if most of his siblings didn't like it he was to be given space upon his return home.
"If you believe the melody was missing a few notes then obviously you aren't listening to it well enough." he said simply as he began to stand up before stretching covering his mouth as he yawned. "And Fu Yue knows full well that she can wait until I am ready to give gifts if any to her and others." He wasn't about to be demanded by anyone to give gifts as it defeated the purpose of them in the first place. "I swear I go on tour for six months and the family has seemingly forgotten basic respect." he moved towards his wardrobe and looked through the clothing, at this point he was starting to consider just going on tour again it had been nothing but stressful since returning and it was something he could do without in all honesty.
"I don't mind mother and father knowing that I have returned because they would have given me my space as was agreed, you know this." he would repeat himself yet again. He didn't feel odd at all returning home it was a routine that he had been used to since he was a child and it would be one he'd continue to do for years to come he was sure. "You haven't bought me anything Sumire we both know the routine of my return..." it was then something dawned on him, his elder sister had never been so forgetful and so took pause "What happened?" he would ask looking directly at her, it was clear this was something that he wasn't going to let go. For all that he was irritated about being bothered, it was still his sister and he was worried. "Also, will you please stop talking as if I died, it's creepy." he said sounding somewhat like his normal self.

"true true I suppose. "she said looking up in thought of his words. "If you seen servants on your passing through the house, you do realize while they might not talk of what happens outside the estate, they do talk to each other. Our home is much bigger then it was six months ago, meaning we have even more staff, some who have not seen you for months or pay much attention." She spoke listening to his resentment of her barging in and the utter disrespect as he wasn't wrong and had every right to feel the way he did. She knew that feeling awhile ago from all she had dealt with. A lot has changed since the drama of the vermillion falling. While she could hide nearly every issue on the surface deep down it was harder by the day.
[break][break] "I have mentioned it to father, many times in fact, Nearly every single time it is brought up. the fact is Aki, ensuring favor here will help keep favor and influence to continue growing back home. While I do not see anything but ties possibly growing, it is still. Different I suppose. " she spoke wrapping a finger around her chin in thought. " It is odd to really describe as it is amazing to each meeting different but the same." She spoke trying to think of proper wording.
[break][break] She snapped her train of thought listening to him speaking of the usual routine getting ruined as they all knew give him a day or two of just rest and he would be back out. She shaked creeping thoughts from her head when something strange seemed to click for him as she blinked tilting her head. "What happened? Uh really nothing that I know of...just the usual orders and clients, occasional meetings." She looked away in idle thought process. Maybe it was her stress and paranoia continually growing each passing day. While her thoughts were often occupied with the usual of the day from her patterns, to her clients, to running errands and studies along with the occasional time to spending with Enlil or anyone else decided that day.
[break][break] She turned her attention back to him seeing him go from irritated to worried as she smiled " You could have died Akihiko. You gone for months and then when you don't write? I can't help but worry about you as I would worry for any of our siblings just like mom. "She spoke in earnest hoping to get the topic of herself " So how has the tour went? I haven't been able to keep up with it as much as I had in the past, this time of year has just been so busy and no real time to relax and know the given day. "She Asked with a smile hoping to return the conversation back on him. [break][break]

Akihiko looked at her from his wardrobe as she spoke "Sumire, there's no 'I suppose' in this, we both know this is true." he wasn't pulling his punches as to him there was no need to. "Sumire, I know people talk more than you would expect given my other profession." being a noble was bad enough but being an idol on top made sure that he had no release from the public eye just one was more demanding than the other. "Let them talk of what happens outside the estate it doesn't mean much to me, it's not like anyone but our family know my secret." he said with a shrug showing it didn't bother him in the slightest. "And I'm well aware that the business is expanding Sumire and that there is more staff than when I left. I have been keeping up with things." he wanted to know if she really believed he was that far out of the loop.
"This doesn't bother me in the slightest Sumire." he was being completely honest, they weren't his family nor was he the one hiring them so the fact they hadn't seen him in months or even at all meant next to nothing to him. They were there to do a job at the end of the day not speak about him, or spread rumours or gossip like the socialites he occasionally had to deal with. "Sumire, it was rhetorical, I already know that father would have you humour them for the betterment of the family." he would say walking towards her as he started taking off the outer layer of his top folding it as he placed it on a table. "Interesting to meet the imperials? I would imagine that they would be quite different but that isn't a bad thing I would expect." he said thoughtfully.
"Uh-hu..." he would say with a tone showing that he wasn't buying what she was selling "Sumire, you are still a terrible liar." he would say stopping in front of her. "There is still something definitely something eating at you, so what is the truth Sumire or should I inform mother and father of my concern?" he would ask knowing that this wasn't something that she would want because they would poke, prod and interrogate until they got to the truth of the matter. When she spoke of him possibly being dead due to not contacting the family he couldn't help but think she was being overly dramatic as she was speaking as if his life was ever in danger. He wasn't a magic knight, he was a tailor and idol so it wasn't like he was a high-profile target.
"Are you kidding me? I'm not a high-profile target, nor would I do anything so stupid to put myself in danger you are over-exaggerating more than a little there." he commented, he knew that she was trying to shift the conversation, ordinarily, he would have let it and not gone back to it but this was just stuping in his mind. "Ever think that I didn't write because I was... you know... busy?" he would say with a sigh "Even as an idol I am still doing things as a tailor." he knew she wasn't this dense or he hoped she wasn't because he was starting to wonder if she remembered he made his own clothing as an idol so when asked about it he could state that the tailors and seamstresses of the white lotus created his wardrobe for the tour. "I don't need people worrying for me." he said sighing and walking back removing another layer of his top.
"Because all it tells me is that all I'm going to get is annoyed and interrogated when I return because I don't have the time to write." he complained "I've been doing this for years Sumire, it's not like this was the first time I've went on tour for an extended period of time." he said honestly as he removed the final layer of his top clothing. "The tour went as it usually did." it was clear he didn't want to speak about the damn thing as it had caused nothing but issues since his return. Hearing her words he sat at his table and looked at her seeing an opening to return the conversation back to her "So, tell me what has gotten you so rattled and don't try and change the conversation back to me again or you can leave my room and I will go and speak to father about how I am worried about you." She would know that this wasn't an idle threat and that he had every intention of seeing it through.

Sumire listen to him quietly allowing her soft eyes to watch his every move, listening to his words as she thought of each point. "Akihiko, you do know you don't have to constantly state my name. You may call me sister."She stated before nodding to his comment of the imperials. "Well of course Hino is such a Sweet princess for sure, so calm and gentle. Ozma is a bit more down to earth and not afraid to walk among those of clover without the need to show off his wealth like his brother Jirou. But all Three are such amazing magic knights and vastly different from one another. So interesting is the best way to put it."She said in thought.
[break][break] "That you might be right, excuse my vocalization. "She said in thought looking away as he stopped infront of her as she shaked her head "Akihiko, I do not prode into anything of your second life because it is not something I need to worry about, I ask for you not to continue pushing as there is indeed nothing wrong just movements of shadows from a weary mind dealing with consolations of whether the military power can full be trusted or if it is just the lesser ranks do not know how to handle themselves infront of a civilian." She spoke deciding to take to a known topic and not allow her paranoia to be delve into.
[break][break] Her father and mother already knew how she felt between the first to the second to the third showings of dungeons within clover. "It is hard to figure the proper wordings for my thought processes and wants to express it. It has came to past but the feelings and emotions are still very much there. Not as worrying as they once were thanks to Hania, however it is still very very fresh." She spoke. She really meant for another situation but the other more concerning one was more of a growing paranoia of a lack of information or acknowledgement that what she experienced wasn't all in her head. She wanted to believe she was just having a very overly active imagination invading her thoughts and dreams. However she felt it was true and it was scary. But just as she might be paranoid, interactions with him wasn't anything but a mistake she was never going to allow again ever. She is willing to learn and explore clover and tend to whatever happens, however, when it comes to possibly affecting her personal life and wants, she was going to ensure the two never bleed into one another.

A first this item may seem like a simple thin, yet large golden ring that could be used as a bracelet, that is until each of the other pieces are connected. The first seems to be an elaborate hair comb whose teeth are made to sit inside the ring, this part of the hairpin is adorned with carefully crafted butterflies and flowers made of several different colours of jade. The flowers have small pearls in the centre while each of the butterfly's antennae is made from gold with a small piece of mother of pearl at the top. At the base of the comb section of the hairpin, there are three golden chains which start with three pearls, then three small gold charms, three more pearls, three small golden balls, and two butterflies on the outer chain while the centre is split into three additional chains. The centre has mother of pearl beads. Each of the five chains has a small carved pearl flower. To make sure the ring and comb stay in place the last piece of this elaborate hairpin is the pin itself which is made from gold that has a pearl at the top with two splintering golden chains that have the same small carved pearl flowers.[break]
History:[break]
The history of this hairpin has been a long one, in fact, it has been around for so long and had so many owners that the adornments and chains had once been broken, chipped or lost. The origins of the hairpin weren't anything significant, a man met a woman, the man fell in love with that woman and wanted to show his devotion to her and so made a token of his love. It was something that was given to the firstborn son of the Yinsil family at their coming of age so they may give it to their betrothed when he felt the pang of love for her. By the time it had gotten to Enlil, it was nothing more than a husk of its former self and so through painstaking love and attention to detail he removed each of the old adornments making them into new pieces of jewellery for his mother and sisters before crafting brand new ones for the woman that would one day be his wife. It had taken him years to get the hairpin in such a state that he found it aesthetically pleasing to look at and that his future wife would feel honoured to wear it to show their bond of love.

[break][break] The wearer of Xià Rì Zhī Liàn gains access to the perks 'Full Blitz' and 'Self Repairing'
Touching the twin chains of the pin starting at the pearl before moving to the pearl flowers saying "Shèngkāi" creates what seems like blue jade flower petals to fall from the sky which surround the wearer. These petals are no bigger than apple blossom petals and remain within six inches of the wearer on all sides almost like a bubble. The petals can take up to intermediate damage before being destroyed, however, if the gem petal bubble isn't destroyed it will repair itself the following round. With the use of the ammo rules, the wearer can say the name of allies to have them gain the same benefits from this ability.[break]
Raising their dominant hand to the sky they circle their wrist gracefully as they lower their hand almost as if a falling flower petal, the circle motion must happen four times for the ability to activate. At the base of the wearer's feet, is a seal made from topaz, looking closer makes it almost seem as if it is designed after bamboo. This seal has two effects, the first being a marking which looks like a topaz bamboo shoot that appears at the back of the wearer's hand increasing their physical strength to junior rank damage while also giving their physical attacks a magical backing. The second is that if an attack gets close a thick bamboo-like forest made from topaz sprouts around the wearer. This forest is only around twelve inches away from the user and requires intermediate damage before it is destroyed, however, if the forest isn't destroyed then it will repair itself the very following round.

This ability is passive due to this the word count to raise it will be added to the relics word count as it will increase at the exact same time. For now, this ability seems inactive due to no real connection made with the relic, however, as the relic gets stronger the wearer will find that their speed will increase by one rank lower as per the passive buff rules.
Akihiko looked at her deadpan as he told her that he didn't have to call her by her name he could just call her sister "You aren't a nun." he said simply, he never could wrap his head around calling his siblings brother and sister when speaking to them, it was oddly uncomfortable to him as it felt impersonal and he was talking to a member of the clergy. This was something that the entire family would know about him, he was just more comfortable and it felt like a true connection with them to call them by their names. When speaking to others he would say my brother or my sister then place their name afterwards as he was indeed proud of his siblings, each was unique with their own talents and interests. He would then listen as she spoke of the three imperial children there in Clover.
"If one prince makes your skin crawl for whatever reason then I would suggest being wary of the other due to them being twins." he warned "Just because they seem level-headed doesn't make them any less likely to pull something, they'll just be far more cunning about it." he continued. "I request that you keep your sword maiden with you or ask for one of the guards that look after the princess so you know you are safe." he would request of her "And most importantly, be careful when consuming anything they offer you if you are not with a guard that you trust." he was younger than her but he was clearly protective of her, he had heard many bad tales on his travels and so he was quite jaded due to it. "I have heard of the young princess, they say she is graceful and beautiful, it is hard to imagine some of the feats she has accomplished." he would say thoughtfully.
Then again, he was surprised that her parents even let her do such dangerous work instead of having her marry and have children. It wasn't his family and so wasn't his business so he didn't care enough to pry lest he and his family gain the ire of the imperial family they were attempting to create a bond with. "You don't prod into my second life because mother and father tell you not to, not because it has nothing to do with you." he said his tone almost cold on the matter. "If you are going to keep lying to me then you can leave my room Sumire." it was clear that he was serious "Just because you are in denial about there being issues within your life doesn't mean I can't see when something is plaguing your mind." he said his eyes closing as he sighed "Mother, father and the others may not be able to see it as you are around them constantly and you know how to form the correct mask for them, but, I am here for perhaps two to three months at a time and so the same mask doesn't work on me." he said opening his eyes and looking at her.
"I won't push, however, you are the one that will be hurt by this secret in the long run as you are leaning on no one." his tone was almost sympathetic with some pity weaved into the tone. He was truly worried for his sister but if she didn't want to involve him he wasn't gonna be there when she was drowning and needing help to be saved as she had asked for him to mind his own business. "In general the consensus of the people in Clover is no, however, I personally believe all it takes is a few bad apples to change the perception of something." he was quite thoughtful in his words
"Do I personally trust the magic knights as a whole? No. Why not? Because I don't know every magic knight, nor do I know the skeletons they have in their closet." he said with a saddened tone "That being said, I do believe that there are quite a lot of them that do their job so they can keep those like ourselves safe, though, there are quite a few unruly ones so I've heard." he knew that wouldn't be good for how the magic knights where viewed but again that had nothing to do with him. He seemed genuinely confused as to what she was talking about as he had just gotten home and so had no idea why she would be doubting magic knights or why Hania was being brought up.

Sumire sighed as she watched him listening to his logical responses as she mentally shaked her head, was she really letting her mask down so quickly for even her little brother to seeing through it.

"I had Junjie, one of Princess hinota's guards with me the entire time, It was a bit more relaxing having him there with me. Shi arrived a few hours after I had returned home since the ships took awhile to arrive. Why she didn't ask for a spatial mage from our estate back home to here or a better method of getting here is beyond me. She must really love the exploration and adventure. "She said in thought as she nodded " While I enjoyed my time, I have always spoken with father of my time with the boys, since that was discussed, I haven't seen any schedule slots for them. I have more time with Hinota schedule as I had enjoyed learning Ki with her." She spoke happily
[break][break]
"Aki.."She said listening to him speaking of not pushing into the matter as it seemed she was possibly going to be the only one hurt by the secret without anyone to lean on. It seemed if there was anyone within the family that seemed to be able to see past the mask she put up so well, it was Akihiko "I have a issue. I am sure you heard of the few days I got "lost" in the forsaken region. There is more to that story then I had really told anyone as it wasn't so much I got lost willingly, more of my curiosity got me in a very confusing....Situation and I feel now, someone very dear has caught on and I worry for them along with if it comes to light of the situation I am in."

He looked at his elder sister from his position as he listened to her words "I'm glad that someone trusted by the princess was with you." his tone showed that he was indeed relieved, due to Jirou and Ozma being children of the heavens it made things more complex than usual and offending them could cause issues for their family. Still, as long as they followed tradition then there was little way to offend them but that wasn't perfect. He had performed back in their homeland when he was a child for the imperial court and he saw just how much of a minefield that was. He was so glad that none of his sisters would ever need to go through the selection process, well, he was hoping his father wouldn't make them do it; if he attempted such a thing he and his father may end up in a situation where one of them would perish.
So far his father though he had high aspirations hadn't even entertained such a concept and for that he was thankful. "Well, tradition states you can not be in a room alone with a male and if you are the door must remain open so the meeting is public." he looked genuinely relieved that their traditions were so strict on this matter, he knew his sister was beautiful and that many a man would attempt something if given even the smallest chance. "Perhaps because spatial magic is rare and they can only open portals to places they have been before?" he suggested. It wasn't like their family had one as a retainer in either land, if they did he believed they could and likely would charge an exorbitant rate for a few seconds of work which their father wouldn't pay for.
He nodded to her words before covering his mouth with his left hand as he chuckled lightly "It's got nothing to do with seeing how the imperial seamstresses do things is it Sumire." he knew his sister had her own aspirations and was always eager to learn new techniques and there would be no better teachers than those who served their imperial family. He flinched hearing the nickname she called him, it wasn't that he hated it he just disliked it being called it but he knew she only used it when there was going to be a serious conversation going on and so he would listen to her. "Yes, the news did meet my ears and no I didn't believe you were just lost. It is the reason I have returned home so early." he was supposed to be away for another few weeks but he cancelled the rest of his tour.
He had it announced that he had fallen sick and that as soon as he was well enough he would finish his tour and that all tickets would still be honoured or they could request a refund where they had bought their tickets originally. He didn't mind either way as he knew the venues would be sold out regardless. "There is little I can do if that person has found themselves tangled up in this, my priority is to this family, not someone else's and as terrible as it sounds I would rather another be the sacrificial lamb to that beast than you or another that I love." It wasn't that he was heartless he just knew where his loyalties lay "So, who is this person?" he would finally ask.
"I was as well." she said with a smile "Hino has great guards and great insight for someone so young and for that I am grateful." she said with a light light before hearing his chime on her other possible motive for possibly liking her visits with hino. " That is just a bonus to learn from the absolute best. How knows when and if I would ever need my skills on a field other then this shop. having such great teachers and materials is like a dream." She said glad to feel some of the tension leave the room
[break][break]
That was till she heard his final words. Sumire looked around the room in thought before looking back towards Akihiko. How should she tell him? She could go in a long bout way of saying who it was. She could stay true to wishing it a secret even though she already allowed him to see her issue. It did make her wonder if Enlil could see the issue just as quickly with her. She grew curious if Shi or Fu yue or anyone else had maybe caught on. While worry increased for who possibly knew or noticed she decided to just be straight forward as he came home from his tour out of concern for her. He didn't have to take time from what he loved doing to come home for her. [break][break]
She closed her eyes before turning away moving to the closed window in his room watching the rain cascade down the glass panel. "Well, It depends on which name you want to acknowledge him by. Everyone knows him as Taiyo Vermillion. The magazine has announced him as "The fallen Star". Honestly I never thought anything would come of a simple change of clothing after assisting in that tavern. Well that was when the vermillion were together and for clover. I try my best to stay out of the social world of clover. I don't see how anyone want to show so much drama towards one another so openly." She said attempting the best way to contain the chaos of ramblings and confusion of the situation. She stilled her mind and focused on the matter at hand " The actions that befell of the vermillion. They are all true, even if he had attempted to persuade my mind into believing they were not. While I prefer to never speak of what happened. You deserve to know the full story as you took time from your tour to come back home earlier then expected. It was just an odd request that raised so many red flags but curiosity got the better of me. I met with some merchant in a worn down shop in the forsaken. Those poorly tended to fabrics..."She said in thought remembering the poorly maintained shop and the bolts that were left there. "After declining the offer to assist, I was ambushed by four bandits, swords for hire? Rogues? I believe bandits is the proper term as they didn't seem to know or have a plan, though I don't understand needing 4 men for one small seamstress." She Said in light confused thought. She still didn't see why it took four men to take her on. She wasn't a fighter, she had no strength or resolve to raise a hand or bring a fist to anyone to cause any sort of harm. She would rather use her words and her voice to get her point across. She knew how to defend herself in basic hand to hand as well as some use of the supplies within her satchel she always had with her.
[break][break]
"I woke in a very very bare room. even checking the door...It was unlocked, but had guards posted. They stopped me to say still here we will go to let the head of the home know your awake. Like I don't understand why kidnap but treat someone like a welcomed guest?" She said attempting to keep her thoughts straight and keeping her confusion of the idiocy of her capture. "I was then lead to a bare dinning hall where I was presented with some food by him and his servants, I didn't eat any of that food as I wasn't hungry and for all I know it was drugged." She spoke shaking her head. " We spoke and well I am curious if he was always so determined to ensure he was on top or if the heiress had him on a tight leash. I wasn't scared more then I was confused. I was slapped, I wanna say twice after refusing to do what he wanted me to upon my return home. "She said scratching her cheek a few times lightly with her index.
[break][break]
"I was dragged to another room where we had more talk and well how does one go from trying to be scary and stern to an attempt of being caring and wanting to be heard? he then gave a more worrisome promise of if I don't start listening well my customers orders might have to be canceled or handled by another for sometime." She spoke playing with the hem of her overly long sleeves that went about six inches past her finger tips. She never was one for hiding her hands. they were the trade of her craft and the more delicate body part she maintained form her nail length, to her nail beds, to the condition of the polish and detail of each nail down to how much washing and lotion for her skin. Since her return she has increased the lengths of her sleeves which wasn't the oddest thing due to the changing of the seasons. She had been asked recently why the increase, she just brushed the worries of on the fact of the season change and just liking the comfort of the length over her skin. Now did the length get in the way of her work? Only when she didn't pin the sleeve hems up. Recently she had found a harmony of doing designs one day with her long sleeves and when she needed to sew she would choose an outfit with more fitting length of sleeve to even a shorten sleeve depending on what Fu yue wanted to wear.
[break][break] "I am thankful my stay wasn't too long as some servants and a guard retrieved my satchel, my grimoire and myself and we left in the dead of the night two days later when I assume he was away. I parted ways with them within the first populated town we found which was Aries Garse, of which I contacted our father and Shi was sent to retrieve me."She said giving him all the details without going into every tiny detail. "I am telling you in confidence this is going to remain between us in the trust and respect of our own bond. I haven't seen hid or hair of him nor have I seen or heard any reports of him being arrested or found dead and that is my greatest worry."
