Is that what you think? That you'd been naive? Why? Did you fight with your family?

Many times I tried to convince my father to let me take on more of his burden, actually.

He never allowed it.

[abovefate]

Isn't that because he loved you?

[fallingleaf]

Mhm.

I see that now.

Don't parents always want their children to follow their own path or something ridiculous like that? You knew him. You would know.

What would you have done differently, if you could have?

[fallingleaf]

[ he laughs, ]

Perhaps I would have actually taken up bonsai sooner, rather than stressing over what is now obviously inevitable.

Hmm...

But going back-- I do want to revive the Isshin art. Even though I know it will mean the end of my wandering, someday.

[abovefate]

You don't have to be bound by tradition.

You could be a wandering blacksmith, teaching the art as you move from place to place. Maybe this art should never have been kept in Inazuma alone.

[fallingleaf]

[ he smiles at the thought of that-- ]

Maybe.

I do feel better thinking of it that way.

The people of Tatarasuna welcomed someone like me as if I were one of them, even when they knew I wasn't human.

It's not my place to say whether it'd be right or not. But it is yours, so do what you want.

[fallingleaf]

I see.

Thank you, Matcha.

[ he starts to sit up-- but mostly so he can push him back and kiss him in thanks ]

[abovefate]

[ OH HOW DARE HIM. He does let out a soft noise of surprise, but he eventually kisses him back ]

[fallingleaf]

[ is this a tsundere?

but the look he is giving clearly says 'cute' ]
