*Shuna's gets dressed and picks up the ring box, then goes back to @sirkandai 's room hoping to find him there*

[sirkandai]

*Kandai returns home, a little worse for wear. His shirt clings to his skin, soaked through with anxious sweat. He walks through the halls ignoring the stares from Shuna’s girls and guards and his own servants. He never actually expected all of them to see him like this, but right now it can’t be helped can it?

Down the hall, to the left, at the very end. He opens the door to his room, not expecting to see @ask-shuna. She couldn’t have been waiting for him could she?

No he’s back early, which she wouldn’t have known. He looks at her and manages a smile. He’s not nearly as empty this time as in times past, so maybe, maybe he can actually do it now?*

*Michiru walks into Shuna's study*

Michiru: You wanted to speak with me, my lady?

[ask-shuna]

*Shuna turns her head from side to side, admiring the way her hair moves like silk thanks to Nobiki's skills*

@ladyshunasladies Nobiki, you're an absolute magician with hair. It's like the split ends have disappeared.

One more thing.

[ask-shuna]

*Shuna follows Michiru to the room Hinako is staying in, then stops outside the closed door.*

I'll take it from here dearest. Please keep a close eye on Yuri. Bring her here in an hour and then get the rest of the Cloister gathered. We have much to discuss.

*Shuna manages to get the bedroom door open while balancing the absurdly full tray Kandai's kitchen staff gave her. A couple of her own staff were in the kitchen and absolutely insisted she take a dish of apple tart and a miniature souffle with orange liquor, along with the rice, miso, vegetables, and several types of fish.*

@sirkandai Darling, I hope you're hungry-

*She stops short when she sees him asleep, sets the tray down at the foot of the bed, and kisses his forehead*

Wake up sleepyhead...

[ask-shuna]

*Shuna feels the sunlight from an open curtain hit her face and groans loudly, sitting up next to @ask-kingmukuro ,*

[ask-shuna]

*smiles warmly at @sirkandai *

Thank you darling.
