Drumming the pads of her fingers on the cool wood flooring, Maina sat across from her husband, watching Takuto Hebi work. Drafting paper and notebooks lay open between them. What he was working on she wasn't exactly sure of. He had gotten into his rhythm, as he did, and who was she to interrupt? It had been hours of him just sitting, sketching, writing, erasing, repeat. Maina had gotten up a few times to putter around and to answer when people came to the doorway ( Six times, people had come to bother them, just this morning. As if she didn't see most of these people and their very minor injuries enough) looking to pry into the lives of the newlyweds. There was something special about the way that he moved, she thought, even when he was calm. Silent. Focused. Beautiful. Mai would laugh at her, if twin telepathy were really a thing. So mushy. She had a professional and cool persona to sustain. She leaned forward, capturing his chin in her hand. "You're supposed to get up and move around every half hour when you're working like this. I've held off on nagging but if you keep this up you're going to have bad knees before some of the elders do." |
"Take two, and see me in the morning."

 Keeping track of time felt like a waste as of late. If he were to stay conscious regardless of hour, he might as well work until his very eyes gave out on him. Pen to paper, scraps of his newest ideas to better off the clan were scrambled, sketched, and scribbled out in no particular order-- although the Master Craftsman would common claim of method to his madness. What he was working on was a new way to collect resources in the swampy areas of the territory, yet always was he stumped on the basis of energy and overall sturdiness of the product. Mind far past what writing his hands could do, he wiped the minor sweat off his forehead, lost still in his own world of various variables and concepts far beyond current capabilities. Stuck in his own dreamlike state, only the soothing touch would reel him back. Striking blue irises were the first thing he saw again, reminding him to blink back his own dried and tired eyes. "Yeah. Yeah, sure. Thanks."Leaning his face into her hand, he completely relaxed whatever tenseness he managed to withhold. More than a Mender, she was a true healer. A glance down at her ring brought him truly back to his senses, leaning up fully with a stretch as he rubbed the back of his neck. From the light leading into their abode, it didn't seem to be exactly when he had started working. "How long have I been out for? Is it dawn again?" |

"It is." Replied Maina, one side of her mouth drawn upwards in a wry smirk. A ray of sun that beamed through the window was slowly making its way across the floor as the morning progressed.
"Well, I got home at around... So..." She stopped for a beat to think, checking an imaginary pocket watch. "Since midnight last night that I know of. Probably longer. I figured I should stop you before you hit the floor again."
She traced his cheekbone with her thumb before drawing her hand away and getting to her feet. She needed to make her morning rounds soon, but she always had time to spare for a certain someone.
"Mai and a few others came by before their patrol while you were occupied. Anyways. I don't suppose you'd like to take a break? Are you hungry yet?"
She always claimed not to believe in love in its traditional sense, but she knew that Takuto liked his tea with a ton of sweetener and that he ran his hands through his hair when he was stumped.

"Shit."Exhaling a sigh of annoyance, he pushed himself up and off the floor, rising with slight struggle as he left his workspace a mess. Honestly, his entire frame ached: his bones creaked and cracked, his muscles felt as though they were tearing themselves open, and his eyes-- he needed sleep, desperately. He needed it, but he refused. Maina's smile would charge his low-lit battery, and the idea of a meal would hold him off until he made it back to his bed. Or so he kept telling himself. "Thanks. Yeah, I could go for some food. Think the Hunters picked up anything good for once?"Hand outreached for his wife, an offer to help her to her feet. Should she take it, he planned on holding right onto hers and not letting go. They could walk hand in hand fine-- the platforms connecting the clan fit as many as two in width, perhaps three. As Master Crafter, he'd keep the thought in mind for a later time. |
