      Don’t mind me. Just tidying up a few of Lord Motonari’s things.

—— ✻; “Hm? Whats this…Who are you? ”

       ❝O-Oh! Hello ma’am! I... I don’t think we’ve ever met! My name’s Ruiling, and I...❞

She trails off, blinking once, before stopping to think. No, that wasn’t right... She had another name, specifically for meeting others in this foreign land.

He chuckled, waving her concern away gently. “Distractions in battle can lead to terrible mishaps. I was fortunate that this one was not much so, though I chastise myself for my distraction, in any case. Don’t worry. I’m much stronger than I look, just like you.”

       ❝Awh... Accidents do happen, after all~!❞

Ruiling giggles, covering her mouth with both hands; a not so subtle attempt to hide the blush that stained her cheeks. She rocks back and forth on her heels, letting a moment or two pass before she spoke again.

Hisahide watched Ruiling through the steam still welling from his own cup. He considered his options, carefully examining each before casting it aside; while she was undoubtedly pleasant company, trying to rope her into his service felt wrong, even for him. But in the same breath, sending her on her way seemed such a waste-

Perhaps there’s something else you can do with her. You’ve got time to think about it.

“You like it? It’s a rare blend - from the mountains back where you’re from, if I remember correctly,” he said. “I brought that particular batch and your friend home around the same time.”

“And I don’t want to throw you out so soon. Since you’re already here, why not stay a few days? You can see Ruolan again, and I’m sure my children would appreciate the company of someone their own age as well.”

       ❝You mean it? Like, really really mean it? You’ll let me stay here?❞

Ruiling set her cup down, bewildered eyes fixated on the man. It was a generous offer! But... Surely she couldn’t take advantage of it without giving something in return, right? That wouldn’t settle well with her conscience, no it wouldn’t!

       ❝I’d like to, but... I don’t wanna be a burden to you, yanno? I...❞

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!

[text] …Oh. Oh no.

[text] It’s nothing you have to worry about, my dear. 

[text] I was just discussing…Business things with my coworker. I didn’t mean to message you.

[text] but a soundproof basement sounds reeeeeeeally... um...

[text] i hope you forgive me for saying so, but it sounds, ah...

He chuckled softly, placing a gentle hand on her head briefly as a sign of thanks. “I’m certain as well. It seems your kisses have healing powers; I can already feel myself getting stronger.”

❄ ❄ ❄

      ❝Good! I’m glad...!❞

And there it was. That one thing that made her thrive; praise. It was an unfortunate trait to begin with, always needing approval or praise, but it still made her light up each time it happened.

“By all means, my lady. I won’t stop you,” he chuckled, moving closer to her. “Perhaps, your kiss would be so sweet, that it would heal me of my injuries in the blink of an eye.”

❄ ❄ ❄

      ❝I wouldn’t go that far...! But maybe it’ll help, at least!❞

Ruiling grinned, taking the strategist by the hand. Gently, she brought it up to her lips, gingerly kissing the scratch in question before letting go.

     ❝M-Master Guo Jia…? I… Well, um… I… I… ❞

     ❝W-Well, I… I don’t like lying, but I… I mean, I l-like him a lot…❞
