Kamae : Waki

[monohoshizao]

[VIDEO]

[If he count correctly, that date is exactly today. 8th of May, Buddha's birthday in Japan. Well, either on the April or this month, but since last month was very chaotic, he can't bring himself to do this. By 'this' of course he means giving a present to Prospero's favorite Buddhist, Issei Ryudo.

Unfortunately, Kojiro couldn't afford to get anything for him, but at the very least he could say something to Ryudo-dono.

Or so he wished, since the one person he could confide and relate the most from back home... was gone. Vanished. Without a trace.

The video would connect to the whole Prospero. On the screen is none other than Kojiro, without any smile nor seriousness on his face. If any, it's sadness.]

My apologies for interrupting your work, whatever you're doing... But I am afraid Ryudo-dono's number has gone from the list. [An exasperated smile goes here.] Not only him, I guess there's a lot other, in case it goes unnoticed. [There're others, but the one that-- No, thinking about his name again will bring nothing but more remorse.]

Thank you for your time. Have a good day, Prospero.

[His tone is a bit cheery, and it's obviously forced. The video will go off after a short while.]

He was the closest friend I have had since I was still alive--as close to me as family. There are few others who understood me as well as he did.

[monohoshizao]

I wouldn't agree more. I never talked with him from back home, but we lived under the same roof. [Nothing like that, really.]

His determination was unparalleled, yet I am kinda glad that he doesn't need to see anymore bloodshed and unnecessary things.

[croibhristeoir]

...you're right. I would hate to see him suffer any further, yet...I wish I could at least have said farewell.

[monohoshizao]

[A nod.]

Aah. Today [Or yesterday lol timezone] is when they celebrate the Buddha's birthday. Just imagine what the boy will say to the Prospero about this day.

[His words doesn't exactly reach Issei, but he'll silently congratulate.]

[croibhristeoir]

I can imagine, I think.

[monohoshizao]

[Hmph.]

If it's not too much for me to ask, are you doing well? [Especially after all this.]

[croibhristeoir]

I am a little better after speaking with those that remain. I still think I need to get out of the city for a while.

[monohoshizao]

I won't stop you. In fact, I'll suggest you to do that for a while. The atmosphere in Prospero isn't to my liking as of now.

[croibhristeoir]

Likewise. Hopefully when I return things will have settled down somewhat.

[monohoshizao]

Worry not, we will try to return the peace to where it belongs.

Where are you heading for, Diarmuid?

[croibhristeoir]

I suppose there's nowhere I'd rather go but Ireland, ultimately.

[monohoshizao]

I wish you the best, Diarmuid.

While at it, I might suggest you take a land or two on Japan. Whether Fuyuki is there or not.

[croibhristeoir]

Maybe not this time. I have little more than unpleasant memories of that country--though I admit I envy you, being summoned into your homeland.

[monohoshizao]

Haha, envy me not. I am barely known from my previous lives.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps not. Still, I confess I have since my summoning wished to see home again.
