Date: 2019-07-19 12:44 am (UTC)He pauses to look at her hand -- and blinks once. ]
... what does that mean?
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 01:07 am (UTC)[Konoha curls her pinky a little bit with one hand, taking a bite from the food in her other. Multi-tasking is key when you have two stomachs.]
It's like... if men are trying to ask if another man has a woman or not.
[Subtle like! She switches to her thumb, giving it another curl.]
This one's for asking women about men. I don't know why, though.
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 01:14 am (UTC)[ Asking if someone is single? Why? ]
I also cannot understand the reason for it. [ He stares at her hand for a little longer like some epiphany will come to him if he continues to stare. Sadly, none comes. ]
Ridiculous.
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 01:24 am (UTC)[She can't say she's ever used them, not really spending much time around other woman since she started working on the lumber yard, but...]
Are you not married, Lord Sesshomaru?
[Coming from the world she did she sort of just... expected most people of a certain age to just have wives or husbands, even if they don't necessarily talk about them much.]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 01:54 am (UTC)[ Then, it is an attempt to be polite to the person that one is drinking with? A means of making sure that they do not keep them too late from their loved one? Hn. ]
No, I am not. [ Wait, she spoke a lot about children.
...
...
He lifts his hand up to bend his thumb at her. This may be only something he does with her since it feels ... odd and silly to him. But if it is only in private like this, he can stand it. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 02:09 am (UTC)[What with how big her body mass was, and how fast her metabolism, any sake formulated for humans was barely enough to make her feel a bit tipsy... a half cask in.
He's so lovely, it's a shame he hasn't found a wife! Maybe there weren't many youkai women? Or... youkai women who accepted human daughters?
But she pauses when she sees him raise his hand, blinking curiously... before she smiles in amusement... and then remembers to blush.]
Oh- me? I... Not yet. There's someone I like, but... he only came down to the village to take care of his family for a little while, he doesn't really trust humans... and I think... I think he'll choose to leave and go back to the mountains...
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:00 am (UTC)[ He also has never managed to get drunk, but that is because he wouldn't drink enough to cause such a state. So rather than never managed, it is that he manages to maintain his drink.
Sesshomaru pause at her response. There is a feeling that rises in him -- would he feel something stronger if Rin told him that she found someone to love? He cannot be certain from what she told him if he is good for her and so makes another thoughtful sound. ]
If he chooses to leave, he isn't worth anything. [ These are comforting words. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:08 am (UTC)[So, she's starting to realize that Sesshomaru has a pretty bad habit of taking some really hard line stances on things!!! And also really likes "worth" as a word... but somehow, she doesn't buy it. At least... not all of it. Because doesn't that mean... if he didn't choose her he was making a bad decision?
... Which is kind of flattering, in a way... But maybe if she explained?]
He lived through the hunts, and the wars... and his father died because of humans. I can't blame him for not wanting to stay in the village... And if I asked him to... maybe he'd stay, but. I don't want him to be miserable, either...
[... So maybe being somewhere between the world of humans and the world of not was a bit harder than she liked to act like it was.]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:17 am (UTC)So, it is like that, then. Sesshomaru also worries about Rin but cannot bring himself to stay in the village at her side. His hatred for humans is also too great even if he is fine with a few individuals. While he may not direct his hatred to where he is openly hostile these days, he still cannot let it go. ]
Then... he can visit you. He can come to see you when he's able, and you can live in the village. Is that enough?
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:22 am (UTC)Konoha thinks about it for a minute, making some progress on her bowl of imoni. If Gonta lived on the mountain, and just visited... But she was able to stay in the village and take care of her aging parents...
Maybe she'd be lonely when he wasn't there, but when he was...]
That could be enough. I don't know if I could leave my parents alone at their age, so... for a while...
[She doesn't want to say "until they pass"...]
It would be enough to just see him when I could.
[And maybe his daughter felt the same.]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:34 am (UTC)[ He nods once, and refocuses his thoughts some. How long do jinba live? Presumably for awhile? Sesshomaru glances up to look at her face before carefully formulating some of his thoughts and words. You said it is enough and that's fine, but... ]
And, there is plenty of time still remaining. [ For her parents, for them to figure out a place to be together.
Also, plenty of time for her to find someone else if he turns out to be something worthless. Yes, he does very much like words related to 'worth.' But for the expression she made, he will keep that portion to himself. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-19 03:43 am (UTC)[Jinba lived a life one might expect from something half equine and half human, with a life expectancy longer than a horse but slightly shorter than a human. But she'd only reached maturity a few years ago, so... She figures she has a good decade left for marriage and children if need be... Something like that!
Thinking positive! One day, she'll get home! One day, she'll be able to confess!]
How old are you, Lord Sesshomaru? Youkai must live a long time.
OVERLY PROTECTIVE FATHER IS PROTECTIVE
Date: 2019-07-19 04:00 am (UTC)Is that so. She hasn't admitted anything yet, then. Sesshomaru keeps himself from clicking his tongue or saying something overtly protective. If the person cannot like her back, the person should be gracious about it.
Or ... he'll kill them. (Or threaten to kill them afterwards without doing anything since it would cause some upset ... probably. But she would have broken her promise of not allowing herself to be hurt, so it'd be fine. Probably.) ]
I am over nine-hundred years old. [ A beat. ] And yes, I will live into the thousands.
ADOPTS HIM
Date: 2019-07-19 04:09 am (UTC)Nine hundred!
[That was... so long? And he looked so young and beautiful still? How? ... Well, besides being a youkai and not a human. She supposes that explains it.]
That's... That's like almost older than history, isn't it?
[So she's not well educated, she has no idea, but. A lot of the story ballads began with "five hundred years past" or "seven hundred years ago"... Not nine hundred!]
GASP ADOPTED!!
Date: 2019-07-19 04:21 am (UTC)[ He notes her surprise and can only look mildly confused about it. ]
I suppose that it is close. [ Lifting his hand, he pointed to the sky. ] But that is just the history relating to humans and not my kind.
[ A beat. ] I take it that jinba will not live as long?
no take backs
Date: 2019-07-19 04:25 am (UTC)Flabbergasted, she shakes her head.]
No... the oldest jinba I knew was sixty or so...
[Would they live longer now, that the wars were over? She's not sure.]
BOOGIE WOOGIE GUESS HE'S HER DAD NOW
Date: 2019-07-19 04:27 am (UTC)[ That is no better than humans. ]
Konoha, how old are you now?
she'd make a great sister for rin ngl
Date: 2019-07-19 04:34 am (UTC)[Too young to have much more than vague recollections of the parents who had looked like her, more impressions and feelings than actual visual imprints. Too young to know how to answer "how old are you?".]
IT'S VERY TRUE! very smol angry demon father and much taller sweet second daughter
Date: 2019-07-19 04:39 am (UTC)[ He feels lucky that Rin knew that much, but she had to know a lot in order to live, didn't she? To be too young to remember or to be old to know -- it is both situations that are difficult.
...
...
And adds after a bit of silence: ]
Those humans ... they raised you well.
Just towers over with a big smile
Date: 2019-07-19 05:37 am (UTC)They did. I owe them everything.
[And she’d do anything to repay the love she’d been given- even sacrifice a chance at love herself for loathe to leave them.]
That’s why I know how good some humans are.
[Even though they’ve already covered that... just a last little note. Some, of course, not all, but.]
And my mother taught me lots of recipes, so if you ever get hungry... You can always contact me! I’m not used to eating alone anyway.
CRITICAL HIT
Date: 2019-07-19 05:41 am (UTC)The word has a much colder emphasis in his mind. ]
Mmn, and I will eat with you.
[ There is a slight pause as he adds: ] Whenever you wish to not eat alone, I'll eat with you. [ He's not necessarily always hungry, but he's not always hungry when Rin wants to eat either. Still, Jaken and he would sit with her -- and now humans are sitting with her instead.
Well. Whatever. ]
konoha used BEAM it’s super effective
Date: 2019-07-19 05:56 am (UTC)Konoha is silent a moment, just looking at him with a piece of food halfway to her lips... Before she breaks into a grateful smile.
She’d always eaten dinner with her parents, except for days when she’d had to work late. Eating alone... it just reminded her how much she missed them, how she hoped they were okay... and while she has some good friends in the city, she knows she shouldn’t impose on any one person too much. Everyone has their own lives...
So she appreciates it, more than she thinks she can say. He may come off cold, but...]
That would be great.
[Maybe next time she’ll make rice dumplings...]
