Petals and Poison
Slow working on chapter three of my Gyutaro/Hinatsuru fic. I dunno I just like writing perverts and putting in little scenes of pathetic men. what else would you expect in a red light district lmao
"
Before noon, when most of the house was asleep, Hinatsuru took her chance to slip out discreetly. She leapt over rooftops, making her way toward the alley where she’d arranged to meet Makio and Suma.
As she passed over a narrow, isolated street, a drunkard staggered beneath her path. He spotted her in mid-leap, probably having seen up her kunoichi kimono.
He grinned wide and sloppy, his hand reaching down to his nether regions.
“Whoa! C’mere, beautiful,” he slurred loudly, swaying on his feet. “Come ride Daddy Genji’s dragon boat! He’ll take ya straight to paradise!”
Hinatsuru didn’t even break stride, landing lightly on the next rooftop without so much as a glance.
From below, his voice slurred after her, “Feisty little minx Daddy likes a chase! I’ll put it in your butt if you're extra good!”
She sighed and kept moving, refusing to dignify it with a reaction. There were far bigger dangers in Yoshiwara than drunk fools on the street.

True Riches
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;
2 put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.
3 Do not be desirous of his dainties, seeing they are deceitful food.
4 Do not weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Do not eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and do not crave his delicacies:
7 for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink." he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.
9 Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move the ancient boundary stone. Do not encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
11 for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Do not withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.
15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine:
16 yes, my heart will rejoice, when your lips speak what is right.
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners; but rather fear the LORD all the day long.
18 For surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
20 Do not be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:
21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad. Let her who bore you rejoice.
26 My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.
31 Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
32 In the end, it bites like a serpent, and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
35 "They hit me, and I was not hurt. They beat me, and I do not feel it. When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another." — Proverbs 23 | New Heart English Bible (NHEB) The New Heart English Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Exodus 22:22; Leviticus 19:32; Deuteronomy 4:9; Deuteronomy 15:9; 2 Samuel 11:13; Job 19:25; Psalm 1:2; Psalm 9:18; Psalm 141:4; Proverbs 2:12; Proverbs 2:16; Proverbs 4:7; Proverbs 6:26; Proverbs 8:6; Proverbs 10:1; Proverbs 13:24; Proverbs 22:29; Proverbs 25:16; Proverbs 26:24-25; Proverbs 27:11; Proverbs 28:14; Song of Solomon 7:9; Isaiah 5:11; Isaiah 11:8; Jeremiah 5:3; Matthew 6:19; Matthew 7:6; Matthew 11:19; Matthew 24:49; 1 Corinthians 5:5; 1 Timothy 6:17
To be drunk on God, is an intoxicant which doesn't leave your head even if you have slept for a hundred years. Even when you die and gets resurrected, you'll have that drunkenness still in tact. World will be busy keeping an account for their virtues and their sins expecting a reward or punishment either in heaven or hell. But these divine drunkards will be dancing their way to their Master - the melody never ceased, the ecstasy never dropped - why would we even then stop whirling, be it in this world or the next!
