Jianyu had not seen his student for quite some time; longer than he had expected. It had been several weeks - over a month, to be exact - since he and Huang-Fu had spent some time together, and Jianyu was beginning to regret that distance. Both of them had been busy with training, and after his breakup with his ex-lover, Jianyu had secluded himself away for quite some time. There simply hadn't been any room to meet with Huang-Fu, and Jianyu disliked that he had not seen him for so long. After all, Huang-Fu was not only his student, but a good friend of his that he both trusted and cared for.
Crossing into the central part of Lunaria, Jianyu made his way down Main Street, towards the small, outdoor cafe he had decided on as their meeting place. He had sent a letter to Huang's home, asking him to spend some time together, and to his happiness, Huang-Fu had replied almost immediately, agreeing on a time and place.
So now, here he was, walking towards the cafe. Jianyu nodded to the girl who stood at the desk near the entrance and was led to a table near the front, where he could look out across Main Street, clearly visible to those passing by. Taking a sip of the tea that was brought to him, he let his gaze wander from person to person that walked by.
I wonder what he looks like now, Jianyu mused, the warm liquid soothing his throat. Is he taller? Stronger? It has only been a little over a month, yes, but a month is enough time to change a lot. After all, I have become a Captain, which I have not told Huang-Fu. Perhaps he has grown more independent, or perhaps he has turned rogue.
Has he got that same endearing impulsiveness about him? The same quiet, slightly anxious, but still warm smile? Do his eyes still light up when he is excited about something?
Jianyu smiled, taking another sip of his tea. And waited for his student to arrive.

Huang shifted uncomfortably in his clothes. He had grown it was true, his brother even mentioned how he seemed to tower over him now. It was ridiculous to think that Huang was different now, from child to adult, Academy to fighter.
To celebrate though, he was going to announce his surprise to his mentor and master Jianyu who he had heard through the ripe vine of Legion gossip that his master was a Captain of prestige. Though Huang had not seen his master for a month, even longer, he still carried the closeness of their friendship and even now, a bit of a crush of his master in his heart and mind. He couldn't wait to show Jianyu that he had chose well in his pupil.
So when the letter had come from Jianyu for a meeting at a Cafe on Main street of Lunaria, Huang had sent a response almost immediately, and with the permission of both his brother and mother came here to meet him.
As he entered the Cafe and looked around, His stoic face did not warrant attention from the waiters or waiteresses and they left him be. As his eyes wander, it fell among the famaliar figure and mink brown hair of his master.
"Jianyu..." Huang's voice was deeper then when he was a academy student and still hushed sorta of tone, but his were lit with joy and passion as he came towards Jianyu.

The voice that carried across the light chatter of the patrons in the cafe was lower than Jianyu remembered, more serious than he recalled. But as he turned his head to look at him, Jianyu saw Huang-Fu's face, as familiar and warm to him as it ever had been. He was taller, certainly, and had filled out a bit more, but the light in his eyes was the same; dark magenta eyes that shone with happiness, with delight. A smile broke out across Jianyu's face, and he stood, pulling Huang to him in a fierce embrace. When he pulled back, Jianyu reached up, taking his student's face in his hands.
"Huang-Fu." he said, tilting his head to the side. "You've certainly changed."
Laughing, Jianyu let go and sat back down, gesturing for Huang to join him. He glanced over at his student, unable to keep the grin from his face as he surveyed Huang-Fu's new outfit. It was obvious from the slightly awkward way that his student carried himself that Huang-Fu had been promoted to a Fighter, but it was also evident from the slightly awkward and uncomfortable expression on his face that he was not quite used to it. Jianyu let out a low laugh, shaking his head as he picked up his teacup.
"I have missed you a great deal," he said, resting his chin on the palm of his hand. "And I have much to tell you. But I see you have much to tell me as well, do you not?" His eyes twinkling, Jianyu gestured to the new outfit.

Huang smiled as Jianyu stood up, noticing the eye patch and gear of a captain. Even then though, Huang still remembered his masters well demeanor and calm atmosphere. Yet, even though Huang should be use to Jianyu's....lack of space, The hug was most welcome and most embarrassingly as their first intimate moments. His face flushed with pleasure and shyness, which was odd since he should feel more content now that he had finally grown a little.
Or maybe not.
"Ah Master Jianyu," Huang let the hug end its course though he had just as tightly embraced the man before his face was caught in Jianyu's hands, "Yes, I have changed a bit."
Looking around the cafe, Huang took a seat next to Jianyu and stretched his legs out. Again the outfit was a bit looser and odd to move around in, but it was evident that the more he wore it, the less awkward it seemed to him. Then again, he had only worn it for today.
"As have I Master, The last of our meetings was the incident at the academy." Huang frowned at the scuffle of a test at the academy, it angered him yet he let it go that his peers and fellow students we're put in so much danger. "Time certainly changes us quickly." Huang smiled softly at his master, while tilting his head.
"Oh!" Huang looked down at himself and vibrated with awkward pride, "Your teaching have advanced me far in the Lunarian world. I graduated the academy to become a true fighter of the Legionnaire's side!" Huang got up and did a small twirl, "My mother and father have decided that my old clothing was unsuited for the task i would be handling from now on." Huang fingered the scarf that he wore and glowed with content at his new status.
"Ah, I have heard that you have become someone of great importance as well!" Huang looked to his master before staring at the eye patch, "But I did not know you had lost something so great for your achievements." Huang spoke of many things, though the eye patch was the main focus of his attention, so intent was his focus that he forgot of his master's gift in his pocket.

"It is strange how such a little time apart can result in such large changes." Jianyu mused, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips as Huang sat down next to him. He supposed he was being rude, staring so much, but it seemed he could not quite believe just how much Huang had grown, and he could not seem to look away. It was really very impressive.
"Oh," said Jianyu, arching a dark brow. "Yes, it was that long ago, wasn't it? I had not thought it was, but the incident at the Academy was when our last meeting - albeit, an unexpected meeting - was held."
The smile on his face changed to a wide grin when Huang stood up, spinning in a circle, and Jianyu laughed aloud, feeling a swell of pride grow in his chest. "I am very happy for you, Huang-Fu." he said. "I am happy that I have helped you to advance to where you deserve to be."
When Huang sat down, Jianyu reached over, resting his fingers on the side of his student's face, feeling the warmth from his skin. "I am very proud of you, Huang." Jianyu said softly, smiling quietly. "You have certainly proven yourself to be a worthy young man of good stature with a good heart, and none of that was due to myself."
He noticed his student's gaze and Jianyu dropped his hand, letting out a gentle sigh. He took another sip of his tea, then turned to face Huang.
"Ah, yes..." he said, a small, near bittersweet smile on his face. "Yes, I have become a Captain, and in the process, I have lost something...very dear to me." Jianyu raised his hand, his fingers brushing over the familiar black cloth absently. It had become a sort of habit of his; one that sometimes he did not even realize he was doing.
"It was an ambush, Huang." Jianyu said quietly, pressing down ever so slightly on the cloth. He hesitated, wondering if he should show Huang. After all, other than Yue and his family, Huang was the person closest to him.
"An ambush up at the Great Northern Lake." Jianyu continued. He felt almost disconnected to the story he was telling; after all, he had not spoken of it at all since it had occured. "My men...they were slaughtered. I was the only one left alive. Tenjou - he is one of the Noble Generals - he found me, and nursed me back to health. He also was the one who gave me my crossbow and convinced me to live. Otherwise..."
Jianyu's voice dropped, barely audible now. "Otherwise I would have leapt from that window he found me on." he whispered, his fingers clenching and unclenching on the mug he held.
Suddenly realizing his seriousness, Jianyu jerked his head up, laughing somewhat forced. "My apologies, Huang-Fu." he said. "I did not mean to become so despondent. I am afraid I have been monopolizing the conversation. Please, tell me about yourself. How have you been the past few weeks?"

Huang chuckled at his master comment and looked warmly at him. It was nice to know that even though they had changed over time, that they could be so calm and relaxed around each other. Honesty and Friendship was clear in their atmosphere together.
"It is odd indeed how that happens," Huang mused before flushing. Yes while he was relaxed with Jianyu, He couldn't help remember their past incidents and even now, Jianyu was clearly staring at him. It was unnerving that his master watched him so and had him clearing his throat.
"Ah Yes, It was quite a turn of event at that time that even then we couldn't talk to long. I was glad though that i was of help to you then." Huang smiled fully as he remembered fondly that he had moved and had acted under his masters supervision superbly. And though the enemies had been bigger and that it had all been a test, That he had given it his all.
Huang smile grew as Jianyu's did as well, It was pride that welled up inside him now at Jianyu's approval. "I am glad you are proud, It is a honor to have my master praise me so!" Huang flushed with the glow of happiness, even after Jianyu's touch Huang didn't pull away. "Nonsense Master Jianyu, It was you who opened me to the world and helped me harness myself, I would not be me without you helping me along the way." Huang waved his hand to push his master's modesty away. Though he quieted quickly as he Jianyu fingered his eye-patch.
"I was not there to protect you like I had promised." Huang's heart ached for his master. To be in that scenario would've been unbearable, to see comrades slaughtered, Inhumane. Huang shuddered at the scenes that his master must've bared, and even so more, He knew what it was to see the death of that nature.
"A Noble General nursed you back?" Huang said the words with not malice or hate, but a curious tone. He had never once heard of a Noble easing the pain of a Legionnaire, much less a general nursing a fighter back to health. In truth, After the incidents with Shin-Mu and Kyung, Huang's hate for the Nobles was dimming quickly and his eyes were opening to the other side of Nobles. He had wronged Shin-mu in a betrayal he would bear for the rest of his life, and Kyung was a different matter all together. But even then, Huang was beginning to see the difference between the hate he used to justify his actions against the nobles and what he was learning as just seeing them as Lunarians. "I am..." Huang sighed as he hushed and closed his eyes.
"I am grateful for this General then, To bring your will of life back." Huang looked away, "I would've never forgiven you if you had done that action, If I had known, If I had been there...If I..." Huang shuddered out a breath and took a deep breath, "Your are never to speak of any thoughts of selfless death like that or i will beat you senseless!" Huang pointed at Jianyu, "When you have a problem, If you are in trouble, You must call me or come to me or I will come to you and I will try to help you. I would be heartbroken to have lost you." Huang passion came through so strong. He hoped that Jianyu understood how much now he respected this unknown general and how much he cared for Jianyu. It was hard to balance but to lose Jianyu even after their long time from seeing each other would've meant losing any humanity that Huang had found. It would've been one more reason to hate the nobles, and it would have been one more reason to justify every one of their deaths he took in revenge for Yuan and Jianyu, If he had died.
"Ah............" Huang blushed at the own mention of his life, fingering his hands through his hair before sighing, "While i have not had the tribulations you have had, I do have some problems that i must ask you advice on Jianyu."

"Huang..." Jianyu said softly, his eyes moving to look at his student's face, stricken with the realization of just what had happened to him. "Huang-Fu, there is nothing you could have done to protect me. You kept your promise to me by staying out of it and keeping yourself safe. This is my burden to bear and mine alone. I would not have been able to bear it if you had been there and had not survived like..."
His voice trailed off, and Jianyu swallowed hard, pushing back the rush of emotions that were raging through him. "...like the others did not." he finished quietly. "You are too important to me to take that sort of risk.
"And yes," Jianyu answered, a small, wry smile twisting his lips upwards briefly. "It was a Noble General who gave me the will to live. It is ironic that he of all people should have been the one to convince me, but as it was...he discovered me sitting on the edge of a window on the third floor, and his reasoning, his strong belief for life convinced me otherwise in my decision."
Tenjou was different than I had believed, Jianyu thought, idly stirring the remnants of his tea with his spoon. He was not as I had expected he would be. Clear-headed, an intelligent mind...it was truly extraordinary how he, a Noble, managed to talk me out of committing what would have been the greatest mistake of my life.
He was startled out of his internal musings by the sound of Huang's strong, vehement voice. Jianyu let out a gentle laugh, shaking his head. He truly has changed, Jianyu thought as he gazed at Huang-Fu. Before, he would not have been this passionate before, this strong-minded. It is very...encouraging. Relaxing and comforting. I very much enjoy this side of him.
"I promise I will always come to you." Jianyu said, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again to smile gently at Huang. "As long as you promise me the same, for we live in dangerous times. I would be just as heartbroken to lose you, Huang. Don't forget that."
The waitress stopped by their table, and Jianyu raised his cup, allowing her to refill his tea. She poured some for Huang as well, and then set a small plate of fruit down before nodding and disappearing again, leaving the two young men to themselves. Jianyu reached out, taking a piece of mango and chewing it slowly, glancing over at Huang as a smile curved his lips upwards.
"Oh?" he said, arching an eyebrow with interest. "I do believe I see a flush on your cheeks, Huang-Fu. What is it that you have to ask of me?"

"I am aware of how useless I would have been even if I had been there at the time." Huang shrugged and slumped his shoulders, "But to know that you went through so much, It pains me as your friend that i can do nothing now to ease it. I feel as if i have lost something vital from us because i couldn't keep this one promise." Huang sighed and then held his hands up, "But what is done is done, and you are still here with me, Flesh and blood and a will to live. That is all the thanks i can give until we are met with another battle." Huang nodded before quieting. Jianyu spoke of the general fondly.
While he did so, Huang couldn't help remembering that Jianyu, a Legionnaire like himself was saved by a Noble, and not just any but a very upstanding Noble General, one that would have been on Par with the Legions own Four Generals.
Letting the thoughts of this unknown general pass, Huang smiled at his master, almost in a cheerful way before returning to his usual stoic face. "Then it is another promise we make to each other, One loss and more is enough for both of us Jianyu." Huang spoke of his Yuan and of Jianyu's comrades. This war had taken many lives and would take many more. Why was it the meetings with the nobles that Huang had met, and talking to Jianyu, Huang was starting to realize just how much those lives meant.
As the waitress dropped a plate of fruit and refilled their tea, Huang's thoughts drifted from one to another to share with Jianyu. There was much to talk about and little time or words that Huang had to share. He thought to start with the simplest.
"Ah, I went out on a mission, one of Intel and I snuck my way to a Noble camp." Huang sighed before sipping his tea, "I was met with the Female captain of the squad and while i was still a student, I gained information and left. She followed in pursuit and we battled. I got the element of surprise and pierced her organs. She is alive." Huang closed his eyes as he remembered the night before pulling out the long needles he now used as weapons of his own, "My first thought to you is if you see the woman who uses a weapon like this, To let me know who she is. Her weapons are now mine, and if i can find her, I wish for her to teach me the ways of them." Huang had been surprised by his own declaration, even if it was about a Noble Captain. But Kade had no knowledge of the needle like weapons and Huang still used them like he did his claws. He needed formal training, and wanted to seek the help to find it. If he could, Maybe even Jianyu could give him the insight of the weapons. Jianyu was in fact a master of projectiles, maybe he would know of something.
"Second My dear friend..." Huang flushed as he put the needles away and looked away, "I have become involved with two Lunarians. One a Female Noble, who i have betrayed and yet cannot bring myself to undo the hate for her. And the Second is a Noble Boy, Kyung. He is frail and young and spiteful." Huang closed his eyes as his blush reddened.
"It seems that I have fallen for this Noble boy, Much in the the way i Feel about you but different as well." Huang mumbled as he bent his head, "I do not understand him, and feel this is unnatural so I come to you for advice now. Also...He hates my entire being." Huang shifted in his chair awkwardly. These private matters he would not discuss with anyone but Jianyu.

Jianyu let out a soft, barely audible laugh, reaching over to rest a hand on Huang's shoulder. "You are far from useless, dear friend. I have lost half of my sight, yes, but you and I...we have not lost anything together."
Raising his arm, Jianyu took Huang's right hand tightly in his own, gripping their fingers together. "I promise you, Huang-Fu Lee," Jianyu said, his voice low and quiet, yet still audible above the din of the passerby and the sounds of those inside the cafe. " - that I will have your back, if you will have mine."
Though his eyes were light, the weight of his words was heavy. Jianyu knew that what he was doing was a solemn oath, that to break it would mean a serious betrayal to not only Huang-Fu, but to himself as well. However, it was barely even a thought in his mind; he had no doubts, no regrets in what he was saying. Jianyu gently let go of Huang's hand, moving to take another piece of mango as he listened, giving a small nod here and there.
"Ah," he said, reaching over to run his fingers along the cool metal. "I believe that I have seen someone like this, yes. However, it has not been for quite some time, and I'm afraid that I do not recall her name."
With a sigh, Jianyu leaned back in his seat, arching one dark eyebrow. Though he held no romantic feelings towards Huang-Fu, he cared for him deeply enough to be slightly surprised by his admittance of love towards another. Jianyu ran reached up, absently running his fingers along the black cloth again, not realizing that he was doing it. "Ah...a Noble, is it?" he said, with a slightly bittersweet smile. "I have...been in your place, dear friend. I am happy that you have found love, though by what you have said, it seems that he does not share in your affections."
Taking another slice of mango, Jianyu looked over at his student. Huang seemed so despondent; lost, even, which contrasted sharply with the impressive and strong outfit he wore to celebrate his graduation from Academy student to Fighter. Jianyu hated to see Huang like this, especially since he knew the pain of lost love all too well.
"Huang..." Jianyu said softly, folding his hands together. "I cannot...tell you what to do. However, I can tell you to not let the opportunity to have a relationship pass. Strive to make your feelings known, and even if he rejects you, do not give up. Your heart is not easily swayed, Huang-Fu."
The name of "Kyung" registered something in Jianyu's mind, though he could not quite understand why that was. The vaguest fragment of a memory flashed through his mind, disappearing nearly as quickly as it had come. Jianyu frowned slightly, rubbing his blindfold.
"As for your friend, the female Noble," he said. "Though I do not understand the entire situation, it is never a good thing to let hate fester in one's heart. However, since I do not know the details, I cannot judge you, nor would I wish to."

"Ah good, It would've bothered me all night to know that I lost some meaning to you or something like that." Huang mumbled before shifting in his seat. Jianyu was still touchy as ever. hadn't he said that a bajillion times? He really wasn't used to Jianyu's touching habit still.
When Jianyu took his hand in his, Huang's eyes widen before warming with a love that was for Jianyu only, like brothers in arms, comrades and companions. "And I promise you Qian Jianyu," In the same low voice of his masters, "That I will protect you as long as you protect me. And forever I will keep this Oath to you."
The weight of the atmosphere was drawing the attention of the crowd who if they were paying a little attention would see a moment of brothership. Though some were intrigued like most were in unusual situations, the rest went back to their ways ignoring the two. Chalking it up as a Bromance. Their hands separated and Huang stared at his own before clenching it. This was a serious Oath and it would be held forever in his heart. Though Huang wanted something more, he wanted it etched into his skin.
"When I visit your house next, I will ask father Qian to tattoo my oath to you into my arm." Huang looked up at Jianyu, "It will be something for me to remember just how much you have meant to me and will continue to mean to me."
"Really?" Huang's eye's shifted from warmth to curiosity, "That is alright as well, I do not remember her name very well as it was a dangerous night. Thank you though for you help." Huang cocked his head before flushing.
"I feel as if I did something wrong this whole time." Huang looked to the table and etched a design with his finger, "I have been most persistent in my endeavor to gain his love. I am just..." Huang mused for a word to describe it, "I think I am being to forcibly with it."
"The first....The first time I met him we were both on our side of a cherry tree and we spoke to each as if we were normal, as if nothing about us mattered to each other." Huang sighed, "We had not seen each others faces nor did we know each other at all. That was when I first started to know him. It was intimate." Huang sighed again and crossed his arms and legs over as he retold of his events.
"It wasn't long though that we met face to face, though we didn't know we were each others Adviser from the tree. I-" Huang grimaced, "I punched him in the face, Breaking his nose. Over a silly dispute of us being Legion and Noble." Huang sighed again. He took a sip of tea, letting Jianyu speak now.

Jianyu felt a flush creep onto his cheeks, and for the first time he could recall, he was momentarily stunned speechless at Huang, opening his mouth once, then twice to say something. Nothing came out, so he closed it while he stared at his student for a moment. Then he said "That's not...I mean that is...a tattoo of our oath? I am..."
He could not seem to get the words out properly. It made Jianyu feel like he was once again young, and had stammered whenever asked a question. Finally he said, somewhat stiltedly, "I am...honored that you would think so highly of our promise to each other that you would wish to have it ingrained upon your skin. It is truly...a very impressive thing that you are offering."
Resting his chin in the palm of his hand again, Jianyu absently twisted the beads in his hair, his expression growing serious once more as he listened to Huang speak. From the wide blush that spread across Huang's cheeks, it certainly seemed as if he were truly in love; a fact that made Jianyu both pleasantly surprised and a little bit envious of the fact that his student had found another when Jianyu himself was stuck in limbo, or so it seemed. However, he was pleased for Huang, and after his own disastrous ending of his relationship with Bataar, Jianyu did not particularly mind being on his own. Huang's shy admittance was endearing, at the very least.
"Love is something that cannot be forced, at least what I have learned from my own - admittedly sad - experiences." he said with a small sigh, twisting the beads a bit more forcefully unintentionally. "I wish I knew more about it, so that I could be of some help to you. It seems as if your beginning, though unexpected and unusual, was where you realized that you had much in common, despite your difference in alliances. It is obvious that you care for him a great deal, that the difference does not matter to you, but from what you are telling me, this young man does care? And he is...angry over it, is that right?"

Huang was more surprised by Jianyu's reaction and smiled at him again. It was refreshing when his master was the one speechless. And if not a bit amusing to see him gape at Huang right now.
"Hah." Huang crossed his arms and tilted his head at Jianyu, "Once I make a Oath though, such as the seriousness of this one i plan to keep it. It is nothing for the brief pain and words engraved in my arm forever. What matters is that I will honor it, and that is all I offer in return." Huang shifted in his seat, "And I hear your family specializes in tattoos," Huang grinned at Jianyu in reference to Jianyu's lustrous Tattoo parlor run by his family, "As you know my last one was done by my previous master, Why not have one of my New master?" Huang shrugged it as if it was no big deal.
Huang quieted as Jianyu spoke next and listened intently before sighing with Jianyu. "He would seem like that wouldn't you think? I fear that because I am Legion, I broke his nose and that I am a male that he would turn me away." Huang thought deeply and then started again, "Ah, I should tell you the rest of our story."
Huang took a sip of his tea before sitting back and focusing on the table. He took a deep breath before starting to speak.
"After the incident of me breaking his nose. We parted ways and still we did not know that we were each comrades from the tree. A week later after he had gone home and I went to the tree everyday, we met under the same tree and began talking to each other. It was odd, but we both talked of our attack from each other without knowing it was each other who attacked. I offered my balm to him so that i could help ease his pain. As i came around the tree we were surprised to see that we were each others attacker." Huang took another sip of his tea and smiled at the memory, Kyung not only had forgiven him not only moments before but it was a time that they shared a intimacy.
"After we saw each other, I apologized repeatedly, for he was my friend and although he was a noble, I had hurt him. He forgave me immediately and we talked more. It wasn't till the middle of the talk that things went..." Huang hesitated for the right word, "South."
"I offended him though I am not sure how. I told him that I loved and desired him and he became disgusted." Huang sighed deeply, "We fought again, I punched him in the stomach and carried him off to my house, where we spent time together. I fear...I fear he hate me deeply and forgot our moments of sweetness."

Jianyu felt a swell of something grow inside of him. Was it pride, perhaps? Pride for his student, his wonderfully talented and courageous student? Or perhaps it was another emotion, such as friendship or gratitude. Either way, Jianyu was really quite flummoxed by Huang's desire to go to that sort of length to honor their oath.
He let out a small laugh, shaking his head in resignation. "You've heard right, dear friend." he said dryly. "My family does have a particular affinity for the tattooing art."
Jianyu grew silent as Huang began to speak, resting his head in his palm, his elbow on the table as he listened. It was an interesting thing, watching Huang. His student was so obviously in love; just the way he spoke - the quiet tenderness of his voice - was evidence enough of his feelings. It made Jianyu feel a small bit envious.
Will I ever experience what Huang is experiencing right now? he wondered, tugging absently at one of the beads in his hair. His heart is large and open, welcoming to the world...
Can I ever say the same about my own heart, constantly shrouded in darkness?
"Have you tried reminding him?" Jianyu asked when Huang had finished speaking. He reached over, carefully selecting a slice of mango, and chewed on it slowly, contemplating his words. "Have you spoken to him about it? Asked him of his thoughts on your private moments, of what he thought of those few, quiet times where it was just your heart and his connecting?"
Letting out a soft sigh, Jianyu leaned back, stroking his temple. "I sometimes wonder about those small moments..." he said, so softly it was barely audible, and mostly speaking to himself.

Huang was pleased to have pleased Jianyu, for he knew that he had made his master happy by the expression on Jianyu's face. It was nice for once to take something he thought was serious and so deeply ingrain in him and take it to make someone else happy. Remembering what Jianyu had said to him the first time they trained was amusing now. With his new fighter status and maturity, Huang really understood how Jianyu had felt at that time.
"I should schedule soon then, i am sure your father wouldn't mind." Huang thought of Jianyu's father and smiled, he was a odd but refreshing man. "OH!" Huang had almost forgotten in his haste to congratulate his master and then being caught up in explaining Kyung, that he had made a gift for Jianyu, something that he had spent a many knights on just for his master. Pulling out of his pocket was a small very finely detailed Hawk made of gold and white gold. So fine were the details that it looked as if the hawk was alive and taking flight. It was small enough to be a charm and had a small loop on its back. Setting it on the table he looked over to Jianyu and flushed a little, "I wanted to give you a thank you gift for all you have done so i made you a....Hawk, since they sorta of remind me of you. Quick and agile, with your wings open and you soar." Huang flushed again and pushed the charm over, "Please accept...it."
Huang waited till Jianyu, still blushing a bit as he accepted before leaning back in his chair and contemplated how to consider his response.
"It is not easy with Kyung, He is...." Huang thought of a polite term to call the mule headed boy, "Stubborn. once set in his ways, he will not change. But there are small moments that gets my hope hope, even if they last a second, its a second he is looking and feeling for me." Huang sighed and tapped his fingers on the table, "It does not matter since he is set in his ways now. I will try to though, remind him of a time when himself and i were not fighting, back to our friendship even."
Huang looked over at Jianyu before looking at the table, "What of you Jianyu? I have not seen you with a lover either...." Did Jianyu have a lover? He looked back at the time that him and Jianyu had past together and it was indeed enough time to have gained and lost a love. he hoped that it wasn't so for his master, Jianyu deserved someone just important to him.
