"I believe you," Nesshin says, "I do. And I know there're things I don't know about--at all. But it's late, and it's dark, and I'd hate for you to get hurt out here; let's get back in."
His voice is warm, though quiet against the night. "I know the paths well enough even in the darkness; will you take my hand?"

Koi didnt say anything else, she quickly collected her items before grabbing Nesshin's hand. "I trust you."
"I am sorry..." She whispered.

Leaning in closer to her, Nesshin whispers back "For what?" as he begins to guide her along the paths. His hand is firm on hers, not tight, but it is certainly enough to give guidance in the darkness.

Koi followed, her hand soft and shaking slightly - she held tight, unwanting to break the connect.Shika Nesshin wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 1:15 pmLeaning in closer to her, Nesshin whispers back "For what?" as he begins to guide her along the paths.

She remembered Pei-Pei's warning and felt like a dick.
"For all this trouble, I expect you'd find this unattractive in a woman out hunting spirits and getting scared." She whispered moving quickly.

"Not at all," Nesshin replies. "It's a brave thing, moving out into the unknown. And to do it alone...admirable, really." And it gives me time with you in the night.
"But that's not all that's wrong, is it?" he asks, his voice low.

Koi chuckled, dryly. Sad even. "I've always been alone, Nesshin-san."
She chewed her lip as they left the garden. "Not here, too many ears." She said, already guessing the rooms.
"Tomorrow night?" She asked hopeful.

Hearing the hope in her voice, Nesshin smiles in the darkness.
"Of course," he says. "Where?"

Koi thought for a moment. "I-i dont know. Would you be willing to help me with something?"
She paused and said softly. "Maybe somewhere private in the castle?"
Koi moved closer to him, her hand not letting go.

Feeling her close the distance, Nesshin stops and turns to face her in the darkness.
"If I can," he says, "and I know many places where we wouldn't be observed."
His free hand searches for her other hand.
