JOURNEY OF THE DAY

[thecanopycrew]

The small wagon pulled by the white and brown rat leaves the mist and sets the direction to the east. Moving in a decent pace meant for distance rather than speed, the adventurers' transport turns in towards a small path that will take them far through the undergrowth.

The adventure begins!

[After a lifetime of Yoshitsugu's teasing Takatora has gained only minimal immunity to it. His cheeks lightly flush as he heads for the wagon with his precious cargo.]

You won't be saying that after I drop you.

[Which, of course, he won't.]

[hakanai]

[It's with the most over-the-top, put-on 'innocent' tone of voice that he can manage in his sleepy state that Yoshitsugu says:]

You won't drop me. You love me too much.

[It's probably good that he's on the verge of falling back to sleep, really. That way he might sleep through the rest of his apparent overly playful mood.]

[It's only the truth, yet Takatora's whole face feels hot with embarrassment and he splutters wordlessly. It takes a moment for him to recover.]

D-don't underestimate me. I'm severely tempted.

[Why should it even embarrass him in the first place?]

[hakanai]

[A comment like that deserves... something. Yoshitsugu is so close to sleep again that he can't manage much, but he squeezes out a dry tone so he can say:]

Of course you are, Takatora.

[That's it from him for at least an hour; the pace of his breathing makes it clear he's back to dreaming.]
