*after retrieving Miroku from Ayame's, gets him settled on the couch*

*settles herself in the nearby armchair, still not knowing the full extent of his injuries, and not wanting to get to far away from him in case he needs something*

*picks up a book and just stares at it, mind churning too much to actually let her read*

*thinking* There's

Comments

[_miroku_]

*sees her look at him and then go back to "reading"*

So...

What... do you want to do about this...?

[xx_sango_xx]

*lowers the book*

*just stares at her lap for a moment, mulling over her answer*

I want you to tell me the truth, Miroku. *a thought dawns on her* ...Or at least tell me why you can't.

[_miroku_]

*looks away from her**quietly* Why would I lie to you?

[xx_sango_xx]

*watching him* That's what I can't figure out... but this doesn't make sense. Kohaku said he saw you with some woman... but what kind of encounter like that ends like - *gestures to him* - this?

I can believe Kohaku was mistaken in what he saw... or at least I'm trying to. *weak smile* But what's really confusing me is that... I don't know, maybe I'm looking too hard for proof that you didn't do anything, but... you don't sound sorry. In the past, you always immediately regretted your missteps. But this time... you just sound like you're reciting a line.

*comes over after her talk with Miroku*

Sister...? Um... are you okay? *holds out a Lily of the Valley* I got this for you. I hoped it might make you feel a lil' better.

OOC: meaning of the flower: Sweetness; Humility; Return of happiness

And if you want to wait to RP this until you two actually finish the thread, that's fine. ^_^

*weak little smile at hearing him call her "sister"*
*thickly* No... but I hope I will be soon.

*another tiny smile, touched* *accepts the flower* Thank you, little brother...

[x_kohaku_x]

You will be. *nods* You're strong. *small smile*

You're welcome. Do you want me to put it in water or something for you?

*sees the note on the ground but doesn't say anything* Was he sorry, at least?

[xx_sango_xx]

*just looks him, touched, hardly able to believe that he's really behaving this way* It runs in the family, little brother. *half smile*

*lifts herself out of the chair* I'll do it... I know where the vases are. *slightly bigger smile* But why don't you come help me anyway?

He says he is... and I believe him. That is... *shakes her head* Never mind.
