[A presence, but no voice? Sounds like the Luceti spirits, in a way.
Asch is hesitant at first, reluctant to take the sword, uncertain of what it'll do with its master watching. And then he realizes how stupid that uncertainty is and accepts it, lifting it to get a better look at it.]

[Miyabi tries not to laugh at his hesitance, but she can't smother the smile on her face. Once Sumomo's in Asch's grip, that same pulse reverberates very softly against Asch's palm, and the sword's hilt feels warm. Miyabi watches, her eyes following Asch's hand then down the entire length of the blade, almost as if she was...looking for something. Searching with her eyes for a sign only she could see.
She smiles, leans back, then her brows furrow together.]
...She says that you're very strong, and brave. ...She also says you know what you're doing. Holding a sword, I mean. [Again, her brows furrow together, and she frowns outright.] ...Can I have her back?
[Miyabi reaches out for her sword, looking somewhat troubled.]

[He offers the sword back out to her, but that expression would be impossible to miss. It didn't sound like she was deceiving him, but that reaction she has now...]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 15 2011, 03:02:33 UTC
[The instant Miyabi's hand closes around her sword, she squeezes her eyes shut. She considers lying, but it's far, far too late for that. Plus, she'd just be a hypocrite if she lied to Asch's face right now. Sighing, Miyabi meets Asch's eyes for a second before she has to look away.]
She says...you're strong, and brave, and though she trusts you, she won't let you use her completely...because there's blood on your hands. B-But you're a soldier--eh, well, you were. [She fidgets, nervously.] And you did just heal my wounds, too, s-so...!

[Wow Miyabi, master of subtlety?]
Wow. Harsh much? Among many other things, I happen to be responsible for taking down a massive airship fleet that was going to incinerate an entire continent.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it badly! [She throws up her hands in defense.] It's like you said, though, I can just imagine you living a carefree life more than anyth--

[Just eight more days...
It was only a couple of days ago that the idea for a gift for Xion hit him like a ton of bricks. He got to work immediately, writing and throwing away pages and writing some more until he finally got out the rough draft of a story that would work. All it needed was some fine tuning: sentences that flowed easier, a check over the grammar, maybe some different words and better pacing... and something else, something that he couldn't do.
But he knew someone who could. It's why he stands at the base of the tree, looking up into the branches while keeping both hands over the pile of papers in a large folder he's carrying. Stupid wind.]

I'm here.
[The answer is slow and languid, but doesn't come from the branches of the tree. Instead, Miyabi's on the other side of the tree's Goliath trunk. She's sitting straight, eyes closed, hands folded in her lap, meditating. She hadn't done much of it recently, and it did help calm her mind...despite her vast improvement in mood, what with the rearrival of a certain chef.
Miyabi doesn't move to greet Luke yet, still keeping her posture, but her senses are heightened, just through her concentration. She can hear the rustling of his coat in the wind, the hesitance in his voice...was something wrong?]

[Once he realizes that the voice is coming from the other side of the tree, Luke moves around to find her... only to stop once he sees the position she's in. Oh, she... looks like she's concentrating pretty hard. He shifts the folder in his arms to hold it against his chest and looks away, even moving back slightly.]
I'll, uh... wait until you're done.
[If it were anything else, Luke would say it isn't important and leave her to her meditation. But this is important, and he really needs her help on this right away.]
[November 12th, Action]chiisaichouNovember 14 2011, 04:28:43 UTC
[The rustling catches he ears, and Miyabi tilts her head to it. Paper? Did Luke intend to paint again? She opens her eyes and relaxes her posture, moving to stand up and dust herself off. Even if she laid down a mat, the girl still managed to get a dusting of snow on her from the branches.]
I'm done now.
[She doesn't say it with any ire or irritation, just honesty. She could always meditate any time. Plus, Luke seemed to want something, so she shouldn't be rude.]

[He picks up the next ball, demonstrating the proper way to hold it.]
I think I'm already done with the important-doing stuff in my life. [He throws the ball and bam! Target hit!]

And what was that? I can't imagine you doing something big, I'm sorry. [It just doesn't suit what she's seen.]

Hey, Miyabi? Are you up there?
