It's been a long and somewhat wearying day for Baedal's one and only kestra'chern. He's done with his final client of the day long after sunset, and has cleaned up and then...

Well, he's climbed up onto the roof of the dojo. With a pot of tea, and two cups, and a small box, and a blanket, which he wraps himself up in before sitting down and putting the tea things together.

Then, Amberdrake sits back and watches the sky for a while, letting the stars and the strange three moons make his mind drift. It's rather peaceful.

Comments

[sanzo]

Soft footsteps suddenly scuff quietly on the rooftop, and then Sanzo sits down beside him.

He watches Amberdrake for a few moments without breaking the silence, and then he, too, looks up at the sky.

[sanzo]

"Aaa." Yeah.

Sanzo doesn't pull away; leaning from his closest friends is something he's always allowed, even in sight of others.

"You see anything meaningful up there?"

[sanzo]

"Yeah. It's still weird, staying up late... Late enough to stare at the stars." Sanzo tilts his head back to look at the sky, too.

"It's not like I've got that bunch of assholes to keep up with anymore, but habits are habits... So what's so interesting about a sky with a boring view?"

It's not like he's really interested in the sky, but it's his way to keep tabs on his companions. Amberdrake is not so different from the rest of them.

[sanzo]

"...Kids do stupid things. Maybe she'll grow out of it someday." Sanzo states it without a shred of irony; perhaps he includes himself in there, perhaps not.

"Besides, you were just this emo asshole when we met." Like he wasn't. "I guess bad first impressions are good sometimes."
