send one to see how my muse reacts / soft edition.
[ tuck ] to place a blanket on my muse.
Though she was, for the most part, asleep, her eyes hardly fluttered open and she saw a tall shadow place a blanket over her. Immediately, the cover brought her comfort from the chilly air. A thankful, tired smile curved her lips upward as her eyes closed once again, a carriage of dreams swiftly whisking her consciousness away.
❛❛I see.❜❜Given her questioning tone of voice, had his daughter never learned where to place this leg ? At least spoken INSTRUCTIONS accompanied the charms which came from shrines. Yet…Katsuie doubted that he had ever found a rooster’s leg at a shrine. So this charm must have originated from elsewhere. But…would his daughter have received any GUIDANCE concerning its use, then ?
❛❛I…do not believe that wearing this around my neck would be suitable long-term. Such an arrangement would be agreeable while I am at home, wearing lighter clothes. However, I fear that the charm would be crushed beneath my armor in the midst of battle. Therefore, it would be best to locate another place in which to keep this rooster leg.❜❜Guilt tugged on his heart as he was forced to DISMISS his daughter’s first idea. Was there some way in which he could help her find a more correct solution ? To feel some sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT ? ❛❛Would you…wish to help me find a better location for this charm ?❜❜
A frown gradually formed on her face. Of course, it was common sense that armor was dense and tough, and could, therefore, crush the foot. How could Mato be so naive and not take that into consideration? Maybe she was just so excited about the concept about fetching a gift that she did not take the time to consider the specific details that were involved.
At his offer, her faltered glance looked back up at him. He was still allowing her to fix her ignorant mistake – this was great! Having been offered a second chance, a bright smile flashed once again.
“I could wish nothing more, dear father. I shan’t take long to find the answer.” Mato turned around, ready to take off – apparently, she was not aware that an opportunity to bond with her father was presented to her.
❛❛ …Is that so ? ❜❜ Katsuie had never before heard of a rooster’s leg providing good fortune. But, even if that was so…there could be some TRUTH behind the girl’s statement. After all, different regions of the Land of the Rising Sun had different LEGENDS about yokai. So a whole different country could provide different good luck charms, correct ?
Still —– he doubted that his daughter’s charm could actually bring good luck to him. Even if it was a success for normal people, how could it ever work for Katsuie ? The aura of misfortune around him would NULLIFY its effects. But…how could he bring himself to tell such a terrible truth to his own child ? No doubt she must have gone to great effort to find this rooster leg. He gave his daughter a worried glance.
❛❛ I…see. Thank you very much for the present. ❜❜ He ACCEPTED the rooster leg from her, grasping it in his right hand. ❛❛ If I may ask…is there a specific location in which I should place this rooster leg ? ❜❜
A soft, yet enthusiastic smile graced her lips – he actually accepted her gift and thanked her! Truly, today was a glorious day! It would seem that the foot surely brought fortune.
The inquiry, however, caught Mato off guard. She never considered that the charm had to be placed specifically. What if that was an absolute necessity to know? The thought briefly concerned the child, but only for a second. After all, if there was a certain way he had to wear it, then it would have come up during her brief research into the gift.
“...Perhaps you wear it around your neck? Or maybe you just need to keep it tucked away somewhere safe?”

Garnet
The name “garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seedlike,” in reference to a pomegranate. This reference makes sense as small garnets look like the bright red seeds you find inside in a pomegranate. In medieval times, the stones were thought to cure depression, protect against bad dreams, and relieve diseases of the liver. According to legend, Noah used a finely cut, glowing garnet to illuminate the ark during those dark wet days and nights. In ancient and medieval times, garnets were worn to enhance bodily strength, endurance and vigor. There are many beliefs in the power garnet has over the not just physical health, but mental health as well. Garnet’s virtues have been long believed to include passion, true friendship, fidelity, success, self-esteem, loyalty, devotion, energy, faith, consistency, and truth. Garnet has been believed to be extremely beneficial in the realm of business as well. The stone causes people to be attracted to the wearer, which aids in business, as well as in personal success.

☔️ - Share an umbrella with my muse after it’s noted they’re walking in the rain alone
Hm? Where did the rain go? Mato instantly considered whether or not it abruptly stopped raining, not immediately recognizing the other female in her peripheral vision. This was easily corrected, however, after she looked up and realized that she was shielded with a parasol.
Come to think of it, standing in the rain was probably considered unwise, as most people could possibly get sick as a result. Was this stranger that considerate of her well-being? Well, it was best to not be rude towards her generosity, and so Mato offered a soft smile in return.
“Thank you very much; I apologize if I brought you any inconvenience.”
