Day 8 - Shy

Day 12: Breathless

I really feel for Hohaku, he falls for a girl, doesn’t know how to talk to her about it, she doesn’t know how to talk to him and assumes he wants nothing to do with her - and then she nearly drowns :/.

Day 5 - Stolen

Briony:

🍓 She names her every mabari hound after Hohaku, which gets confusing when one of them has a litter. All the pups are still also Hohaku, though—Briony doesn’t let a little thing like common sense ever stop her.

Give me a 🍓 and one of my OCs, and I’ll tell you some random facts about them

Nan

Before our father’s fathers came down from the mountains...

... a war hound was born to the elder bitch of a tribal chief. They named him Hohaku and gave him everything. He grew up a fine, strong pup, destined to be the partner of the chief’s eldest son.

The young hound became arrogant, taking food from his kin and warning them -- in the way of dogs -- tat the chief’s family would punish them if they tried to attack him.

Years passed, and the time for the chief’s son to takea war hound came closer. Hohaku’s pride swelled, and many people of the tribe came to the chief, quietly whispering of this dog’s bullying.

With each complaint, the chief saw only Hohaku’s strength and pride, and sent his people away.

But as his son grew, the chief watched more closely. The day might come when his boy’s life would depend on this dog. If the humblest of his people would not trust Hohaku, how could he?

When the day came, Hohaki sat proudly, waiting to be called. But the old chief chose Hohaku’s brother as his son’s hound.

Hohaku was shamed, but felt no remorse. So great was his rage that he darted across the fire pit and bit the chief’s hand.

The chief and his son struck at Hohaku, cursing him. The hound ran into the village, seeking shelter in the tends and kennels.
