@heroesverse || Starter Call (Kaiyo)
Night had settled in some time ago, making the palace and the grounds about it nearly silent aside from the stray guard here or there as they lurked about. And he wasn’t an exception, his shoes sliding softly over the grass as he followed an invisible path he had memorized months ago while his palms rested idly upon the hilt of the sword strung to his hip. While other complained about being assigned to guarding the castle overnight, he never really minded. It hadn’t been that long since he had made the journey here to serve the royal family in Okita’s place, and nightmares of his former master’s death still kept him up anyway. Given that, there was still quite a bit he didn’t actually know about most of the people who resided here - he’d tried to do his research of course, but he had been rushed to arrive on time and had mostly just tried to gather everything by listening in on some of the other soldiers gossip...it really hadn’t helped him much. Tugging the hem of his scarf to shield his neck from the bitter wind, he lifted a gaze just in time to see a figure sneaking (fleeing, he’s not quite sure) around in the moonlight. Picking up his pace, he made to try to cut the other off, his voice stern as it left his throat:
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
