🐾. an arrow through the heart

[ Gorou is nothing if not resilient. It’s a trait that he has had to hone in order to keep going and push himself to be the best for his troops. Resilience is an important trait in a rebel general, after all. So, he’s become accustomed to the cottage, to the way of life, at least he’s trying. He’s worried that what he’s been told isn’t completely true and his troops are left in the lurch, that Her Excellency is wondering where he has left to? Has he completely gone awol or had he been captured in some nefarious plans?

The possibilities could be endless. For his peace of mind, he tries to believe the story that’s been told. It’s easier that way and there’s plenty to focus on around the cottage and getting acquainted with his surroundings and neighbors. He’s friendly at least and it hasn’t been that difficult of a transition in that way.

Gorou is excited at the mention of a fireworks show while he was having a drink at the cafe and looking for someone to talk to. He’s been trying to make sure to have a network of contacts and potential friends or at least acquaintances. With a friendly smile he inclines his head to someone who looks at the very least open to conversation if nothing else… ]

I’m really looking forward to the fireworks show tonight, are you planning on going?

[ Yes, he might just be fishing for someone to watch them with. ]



[ Well, upon finding himself in Kanshi with someone unexpected, Gorou blushes a little, scratching the back of his head and then crossing his arms as he tries to look unaffected — because why would he be affected by any of this, of course! ]

I suppose, they made the rules fairly clear. What do you think?

[ There’s a moment where Gorou stumbles a bit, blinking in confusion and he can’t figure out exactly what it is that caused the mishap but following there’s a hiccup…and then another hiccup.

He continues hiccuping as he moves along the streets, starting to head back to his cottage because he clearly needs to figure out how to get rid of this sudden case of the hiccups. As he walks he tries some of the more obvious and easy methods… holding his breath? Sur— ]

Hic..!



[ Well, Gorou can’t argue that there’s nothing to lose with this! He also ends up finding himself as a mermaid and diving for seashells. It all reminds him so much of home and the pang in his chest is poignant and pressing. But there’s freedom in moving through the water as a mermaid and he relishes it and does his task with the dedication and diligence he gives everything.

So, it doesn’t take long to collect some beautiful seashells and then it’s time for the next part of the scavenger hunt. He crosses his arms and his brow furrows. ]

Two truths and a lie…
