OH 100%... i can actually see them having dogs? or just a pet that is very "engaging", as in you spend lots of time with it... it's like their little baby, u know...

Nobunaga knew exactly what was wrong, he’d certainly been watching the back-and-forth between their army’s commander and their lady archer for long enough, but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to say anything about it just yet. If nothing else, the two of them provided some entertainment in the evenings. He watched Yoichi take a seat next to Kagome with some of the elves, and Nobunaga had to hand it to the marksman for trying to get Kagome to quit glowering at Toyohisa. Not that it was working, but he gave the lad credit for trying.Sliding his gaze to the man next to him, Nobunaga asked, “Did you try talking her off the battlefield again?”“No,” Toyohisa answered, taking in another mouthful of stew. When Nobunaga raised a brow at him, Toyohisa swallowed and said, “I ordered her, as her commander, to stay out of battle.”Nobunaga laughed in his face, “You are some kind of stupid, aren’t you?” When Toyohisa, already in a foul mood, gave him a look, Nobunaga asked, “Why are you so hellbent on keeping her off the battlefield? You’ve seen what she can do. Much more guidance from Yoichi and she’ll be giving him a run for his money. She’s more of an asset than a liability.”“She could get hurt,” Toyohisa answered as though it should have been obvious enough.“That honor code of yours is damn rigid, huh?” Nobunaga rubbed at the scruff along his jaw and chin as he slipped into thought. “She fights as well as any of the men. Has more battle experience than most of the men we recruited in the beginning. Holds her own in the face of danger. What are you so afraid of that you keep picking this fight with her?”“She could die,” Toyohisa told him, still not catching on. Nobunaga was an intelligent man. He should realize the danger Kagome was in. Again, Nobunaga laughed. “Of course she could die. Any of the men could die. We could die. But that doesn’t mean we can stop fighting. Do you care if the rest of us are cut down? Or just her?”“We’re men. It’s different,” Toyohisa said, finishing off the rest of his stew. “I know she’s not like the women of our time. She’s...special.”“That’s one way of putting it,” Nobunaga agreed.“If she has to be angry at me for her to stay safe, then so be it.”Nobunaga sighed and ran a hand over his face. “You’re doing this because you care about her?”“Of course.”“Do you care about her or do you love her?”“I...” Toyohisa had to pause for a moment before the answer came to him, clear as day. “I love her,” his said with the same confidence he had in everything else he did.“Then here’s some advice from someone older and wiser,” Nobunaga began. “She’s usually pretty observant, but she’s as dense as you are when it comes to herself. She probably thinks you’re doing this because you think she can’t hold her own. Tell her it’s because you love her, and see what she says about it then.”Toyohisa considered Nobunaga’s words for all of three seconds before he was on his feet and facing where most of the archers were eating. “Kagome!” His voice called out across their camp, causing everyone to pause, because when Toyohisa spoke, they listened. “I love you!”All heads snapped to Kagome in time to see her bowl slip from her hands and spill on the ground at her feet while she sat wide-eyed and mouth open. With each second that passed, her face grew more and more red before she finally stood up and marched over to Toyohisa. She didn’t stop or say a word, only snatched him by his collar to drag him just outside the edge of their camp and beyond ear shot.Nobunaga, Yoichi, and all the men in camp watched as Kagome stopped them some distance away and started yelling. To his credit, Toyohisa yelled back, though no one in camp could make out any of the words. After several exchanges, Kagome grabbed his collar again and yanked him down for a kiss, which was about when everyone back in camp (except for Nobunaga) discreetly turned away from watching the couple. When they separated, Kagome said something else before releasing him and making her way back to camp. As she passed Nobunaga, he noticed that she seemed much less agitated and much more self-satisfied, even with the blush dusting her cheeks.It was another few moments before Toyohisa came back to sit next to Nobunaga. He was quiet for a few seconds before turning to Nobunaga and saying “Your advice is shit.”“How do you figure?” Nobunaga chuckled. “It seemed to work out well enough for you.”“She kissed me, called me an idiot, and told me she’s still going back onto the battlefield tomorrow.”Nobunaga laughed outright at that. “Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. With the two of you making sure the other doesn’t die, we might just have a shot of taking tomorrow’s battle and, eventually, this war.” He watched Toyohisa grumble before the younger man grabbed his bowl and went back for seconds. Nobunaga may have helped prod him in the right direction love-wise this time, but Toyohisa was officially on his own where Kagome was concerned. After all, Nobunaga needed to keep some form of entertainment around camp.

🌦️ Favourite Weather: "Once it's warm enough to not wear an extra jacket it's perfect. Slight sunshine, a few clouds maybe, and a gentle breeze."

✏️ Snow has a multi-step skincare routine, which is honestly more about having a before-bed ritual than anything else, but Tanya does make snarky comments about all her different products. Lady Miracle, however, is very encouraging <3

SELF-CARE / FIRST-AID HABITS: ari absolutely misconstrues gratuitous substance abuse and maxed out credit cards as self-care, which makes it safe to say, i believe, that she has no self-care habits at all. she is, fortunately, unfairly blessed with the genetic lottery of clear skin and hair that looks good no matter what, so it does not outwardly bite her in the ass. her health, however, is an entirely different story. as for first-aid: she has assistants and interns on tour for the band, so she is well taken care of most of the time — so long as she is not left to her own devices, because they would not do her much good.
