Settled atop a hill in the river valley south of Tanzaku Gai, near the Hanguri Gulf, GurinbarΔ-to has replaced Keishi as the Capital of the Land of Fire. A combination of traditional Fire building techniques and newly acquired techniques from the Land of Tea, the Castle is a stark contrast to the old capital of Keishi. The inner courtyard is awash with natural beauty, transplanted from the region as the groundbreaking began. Trees and plants that had to be uprooted were held, and prepared before being replanted in the new courtyard. A fountain with a thunderstorm motif rests at the centre.
Cortiers of the Hatake Empire routinely make movements through the halls, and a dedicated staff meets guests regularly when the Emperor is not available.

Masahiro stepped out into the courtyard of the newly refurbished GurinbarΔ-to Castle, the morning sun beamed into his crimson eyes as he brushed his luxuriously long hair from them. The breeze carried the scent of the river and the burnt lumber from the Copper District into the castle grounds. Loneliness hung on the Emperor like a veil, but the morning demanded to be witnessed for its full intensity.
The sound of rustling papers could be heard and Masahiro fretted the man who would ultimately come bearing them. Why couldn't Sonyo come to speak to him, or maybe the Court Historian, someone to whom the day wouldn't grind to spend in conversations with.
As he returned to his chamber, he dressed in a more regal robe, and refused the Daimyo Veil, instead taking a simple flat hat.
"Business begins." He said behind a crooked smile.

Himawari wanted to explore. Run off. Have fun. But she was to go to the castle first and check it out. Ah well. She can always explore at the castle! It was big enough! Then she saw something. "Oooh! I know! Can we buy some of this? I want to show Masahiro-Oji that I can cook now! Please?!" The teacher then smiled and nodded. "YAY! Okay!" She dashed towards the stands, her golden hair shining in the morning light. Her yellow kimono does it no justice. "OhayΕgozaimasu!" She smiled towards the man in the stand. From there, she went to few different stands, making sure she got what she needed. The young girl carried some food herself and the teacher was holding the rest. "Awesome! Let's go! I do hope the castle is ready! I cannot wait to get back into my training. I also needed to ask Masahiro-Oji if I can go to Konohagakure to meet other people! Or maybe I could convience him to go to Arashigakure and take me along, I would like to meet the people who knew mom. I wonder what she was like." Himawari mused to herself. The teacher was used to her talking all the time so there was no reply from her.
Then, entered into the castle and glanced around. "Whoa... It's going to take me ages to find the kitchen!" Then the teacher reassured her that she knew where it was. With a trumiph holler, she followed the teacher to the kitchen. "Okay! Do me a favor? Can you find all the pots and pans that I will need while I find Masahiro-Oji?" She questioned as the teacher glared at her for a bit then nodded in defeat! "Thank you!" She squealed as she ran to hug the teacher for a moment and ran off to find Masahrio. "MARCOOOOOOoooooo!" She trailed off at the top of her lungs, giggling, her little toes wiggling as she waited for the reply. She also started to sniff around, slowly finding his scent. This place was huge. "Let's see... I turn here, the scent is weaker... so meaning I go this way... I can hear footsteps but that's a lot of people around here... some papers. Hmm. Would Masahiro-Oji be doing some paperwork? I hope not... If he was, I could try to convience him to take it aside for a bit..." The whole time, the little chatter sunshine was mumbling random things under her breath as she was slowly trying to find Masahiro by using his scent.

Lillian made her way through the halls, she knew which turns to take, which shortcuts made it quicker. She had a mission today, unlike most days now, and this mission was important. For too long now it seemed, she watched Masahiro sulk over a woman who clearly didn't realize or return his feelings. The Hatake was a remarkable man, and he deserved much more than Sonyo; a mess he refused to see due to his own feelings. He needed to see, to see how self destructive she was, to see how bad she was for him. The redhead's hand tightened at the thick book tucked under her arm as she quickly made her way to Masahiro's chakra signature.
She stopped in front of his door, taking a deep breath. Curls fell in to her face, made a golden color in the light, tawny eyes searching the wooden surface a moment before she knocked.
"My Lord?" She called through it, the ex-soldier's voice calm.

The Emperor pulled the door to his chamber open, his head tilted softly to the side as he saw his court historian propped at his doorway. Matters of late had her serving him in a much more present capacity than one would have normally surmised, but he relished the influx of information and readily opened the door for her. Some company aside from the stuffed shirts would be nice for the old man, as well.
As he invited her in, he turned to one of the pots in the centre of the room and waved a hand towards it. Fire burst to life below it and the sound of the vessel filling with water could be heard. He sighed as he felt the familiar tingle of chakra burning his fingertips. He hadn't been an active practitioner as much since he settled away into the 'Civilian' life and began to instruct the Imperial Court of new methodologies. In truth. He tried to incorporate as much ninjutsu into his everyday life as possible.
"Lilian, do explain what brings my Court Historian to my chamber just as my day is beginning. Not that I don't mind the company, mind you. Everyone here expects everything to have purpose, and it's rubbing off on me."

Standing there now, with Masahiro staring at her, she felt selfish. She wanted to pretend she wasnt one of those many people who wanted something from him, but she was. Lilian crossed the thresh hold to emerorβs room, like she had many times before. Breathe, she reminded herself as she places the massive book on the table. The Hatake preoccupied himself with making tea and the historian took the moment to move to the massive window in the chamber and stare out it. The imperial city, his imperial city. She had to be strong for him, if he couldnβt see what he deserved sheβd beat it in to his overly nice skull.
βIβm sorry. It must be so tasking, being here... I forget that some times... This place, this city is my homeβ I can forget blood soaked battlefields and dying gasps here but you... this is just a different kind of war zone, a silent one. I donβt blame you for being drawn thin, and I imagine your time at OASIS is much more enjoyable.β Pain. She tugged at the sleeve on her left hand, the fuin that made itβs home there burning; but that wasnβt the only pain she felt. She wanted, more than anything, for Masahiro to be at peace.
Thatβs why he needed to give up Sonyo.
Tired but kind tan eyes flicked from the window to the white haired man, searching his face as the wherls in her head turned. She needed to be what Sonyo was not; she needed to be present, supportive, his pillar. She would show she was better, no matter what. Lilian thought back on all the books she had read about scenarios like this one, how to turn the tide in her favor. But none of the million responses she thought of were whet spilled out of her mouth.
βI came to distract you. I... I want you to be at peace here, too. And if it means getting away from that shrill librarian for a moment, I call it a plus.β She cocked a half smile, hoping it would brighten his mood. She wanted to be a blazing sun to oppose Sonyoβs dim moon, someone he could find solace in. βI wonder if being incredibly dull is a job requirement.β The chuckle that rumbled from her was smooth and sweet like chocolate./size]

Only five minutes in, the blonde child was getting frustrated. "Where could he be? Ugh! This is stupid! I can smell him everywhere. This is really dumb, foolish, mindless, brainless..." She rambled on and on. While not paying attention as she was focusing on the complaining, she had bumped into her teacher. With a soft, "Eeep!" She straighten her compsure as she did a quick bow. "Hey Yanagi-sensei! Have you seen Masahiro-Oji anywhere?""He's busy and perhaps in a meeting. Go bother someone else." Once the teacher left, she made mocking faces as she stuck her tongue out behind the teacher's back. "Lame! Whatever. I guess I can get started since the broth and needed to leave the meat in it for two hours.." She reminded herself how to cook the food she wanted to cook all the way to the kitchen. Once she got there, she saw that the pots and pans were set up for her. Ah! Perfect. With that, she started to roll the sleeves and got out a thick strip of cloth that was made to hold the sleeves in place so the clothing would not get dirty. "Okay! So what I have to do is get this broth into this pot," she poured brown liquid into the pot, "There we go! Now I need to cut this up into smaller pieces! Now let's see, where is the cutting board... found it! And a knife. Hmm. Speaking of knife, I wonder when I can get my own katana. I hope soon! That would be so cool and awesome! Oh! This is the drawer for knives. Alright then. Now to cut the pork into bite-size pieces. Easy-peasy!" She ever so carefully cut up the pork and added it to the pot. Her edger azure hues watched it as she then smiles as she took a long inhale to smell the delicious food. "Okay! Oh. Right. I need to leave the kitchen. I can't wait here for two stupid hours! That's a bad idea. I need to find something that I can help it from overflowing but still keep all the steam in." She placed a lid on the pot and pondered for a bit. What was small enough? I guess time to go hunting! Let's seeeeeeee. She was opening each cabinet and drawers that existed in the kitchen, "Nope. Nah. Nopity. Nope nope. Nooooo. Nu. Nope. Nah. Nah. OH! She picked up a toothpick. "THIS WOULD WORK! YAY! Her excited voice resonated through the empty kitchen. She placed a toothpick between the pot and lid. It was perfect. She could cry. "Okay! Oh no. Now what." A frown crept upon her face, what will she do for two hours?
"Training! DUH!" With that the little ray of sunlight skipped her way out.

"It is to have a purpose. I was born serving upon a battlefield of blood, sinew, and bone. Now I serve upon one of scroll, ink, and intrigue. Though at times I feel as though I am a mouthless creature who must scream, I would be foolish to say that there is no part of me who does not enjoy the tasks I have undertaken in this new purpose. But... I would also be remiss if I did not say that the time spent with Sonyo was the happiest in my life." The Emperor wholeheartedly admitted.
The man wore a smile that seemed too thin for a man of his stature and stood in a pose that was not quite comfortable to gaze upon. His body seemed lanky, just out of sync with his royal regalia. He looked agitated, it was as if he had been stricken by some malady. In truth, the pang of longing had nestled in his stomach the moment he thought of the days spent as SENKAKU, wherein he got to work alongside his former student. The days she had been furious, in charge, and lead the path to aid others. Where he saw the smile of a woman with her own family, like the one he once doted over, before war and jealousy took them from him.
He thought of his occasional trip down into Estia to purchase supplies or visit vendors for tradecraft when he had seen the woman he loved, happy with her family. When he was happiest, for her happiness. And the night she came to him alone in his OASIS apartment, scared and anxious because of Belamos' actions and indifference. The discussion they had, his openness to her and the simplicity of the shared moment.
It had faded. His last spark.
"I have been at peace here, it's just been hectic. These days of preparation as we moved the Capital operations away from Keishi to Gurinbare. It has been nice to see you come out of your shell, however, and to find out just how unlike your brother you truly are. And Inosa-dono isn't that shrill, she's just ancient." He chided, his eyes locked on those of his court historian.
He did feel similar ease around Lillian, as compared to Sonyo, but the comfort and understanding were not there. At least not as she wanted them to be, not yet.

No one set her as off balance as Masahiro did. People's mannerisms were like a waltz, and once you learned the steps and tempo, you could follow along. Not Masahiro, no she had not cracked him. His posture, one of unease and uncomfort made her hesitate. She had come here with such determination but she found it quickly slipping through her fingers the more Masahiro talked. His closing comment about the librarian helped a little but not much.
Another tug at her sleeve, more pain. Her heightened state had caused her chakra to flair slightly, and that in turn had caused the marking on her hand to react. No facial recognition was made of this pain, but her hand twitched softly. She needed to calm down, to reorient herself. She could do this. Lillian's eyes adverted from Masahiro for a second as she made her way across the room to sit near by him.
"I... have a question. Please forgive me if it's too forward or not within your comfort to talk about I just..." A hiss of a sigh made it's way from out between the historian's teeth, her eyes staring down at her hands as she idly rubbed against the callouses that decorated her palms. "Masahiro.. Why do you..." Another pause and a ripple of frustration across her face. She was not one to be at a loss for words, and on top of that she nearly never addressed the Hatake by his given name. "Why do you care for her so? Sonyo. She's hurt you.. she's hurt you more than once. Why put youself through that pain, I-... I-I don't understand, but I want to. I want to understand you."
Lillian's voice was a rushed half-whisper, and the woman finally looked up to meet Masahiro's face with those final words. The enchantress's face was one of confusion; eyebrows pulled tight over stormy eyes, her lips tightened in to a hard line. Lillian didn't deal with people who could hurt her like that, very few ever made it close enough and they were carefully selected.This was not a situation she would put herself in, and so her knowledge was lacking. She fully did not understand why someone so good like Masahiro would do this to himself. Surely, he knew reason so why keep someone who kept hurting him at his side?
Did love truly make you that blind? Would she do the same with him? Would he come to hurt her some day, and she would just continue to blindly serve him because she couldn't bare to be away from his side? Hopefully Wulfra, would knock her to her senses at that point, like he had done many times before and would likely have to do many more times in the future.
Lillian had only loved strongly once before, and when he turned on her she had put a dagger in his neck. She didn't keep secrets from her brother-in-arms, but even that one was unknown to the Armistead male. Another spy, like her; smooth words but an even sweeter dance.He had turned out to be a double agent though, and after leaving her to die she had to track him down and end him. Weeks were spent, barely eating, barely sleeping but she had learned not to trust someone like that again.
Well maybe except one person; but he had saved her life and blocked blows on the battlefield for her more times that she could count.

Crimson eyes followed the woman as she marched her way across the room and found herself a seat. Silver-white hair fell from its nestled perch on his shoulders as the Emperor shook his head and retrieved a drink for himself, before he pushed the tray toward Lillian. Their discussion had been amicable to this point, amenable to fault, then she asked the hard question. It wasn't hard in the sense of why he himself loved Sonyo, but when he explained it to the outside world. To voices like Lillian, or Wulfram, those who hadn't been through the struggles the pair of them had together, it became complicated.
"We have... endured, and in doing so we learned a lot about ourselves and what we each wanted to be. When I first met Sonyo, she was an adversary in my eyes, with an eye on a village I was deigned to protect. In time, as we trained together, I found her as a kindred spirit." He intoned as he crossed the frame and leaned against one of the columns in the centre of the room.
"Love is, accepting your faults and one another's. My own faults lie in my arrogance, an inattentiveness, and my meticulous nature, so mired in my desire to consume. I stumbled upon a curiosity, a white rose in the desert. It helped me understand myself, when before I only cared for my desires and duty. Sonyo's faults..." He mused, the cup pressed now to his lips as he chuckled.
"Well, I'm sure you studied some of Lady Rue's faults yourself, haven't you. But you don't understand them, or her." He remarked, crimson eyes laid on his Court Historian.
"The pain I face in my endeavors, is no more than a man endeavoring to make the best blades, armor, or furniture. I strive to forge the best, even if it means the smelting takes years in waiting. The best creations consume you."
tab} π· π π π π π π x π― ' π π π π xxxxx tabtabi dont know how to do thisxxxi step forward, you step backxxxdanced many dances but i'm not accustomed to this one yet..
She went too far, too fast. Lillian kicked herself mentally, making a note to strike goddamn fear in to the people she told rumors to next time. With a frown, Lillian stood, brushing off her dress. Her expression was unreadable, a blank slate, a mask; but her eyes were a storm of different emotions. What Masahiro had described, was it so different than what she was trying to achieve? She believed deeply that Sonyo would never be able to make him happy, and she wanted him to see that too. Was she selfish in the line that she wanted to fill Sonyo's place? Certainly, but if she even managed to get him away from her, that would make her happy enough. With a deep bow, averting the emperor's eyes, she excused herself.
"I'll take my leave now, my lord, unless you require something of me."

Taking in the sights as she passed through the city, Hikari made her way to the castle gates of Gurinbare-to. She kept her same stoic look as usual, even though she was actually quite excited. Stepping up to the gates, she would approach the guards who are manning them. "I would ask for an audience with the Daimyo, please?" Hikari bowed politely towards them as she waited for an answer, making sure they were aware of her presence before asking.

"At your leisure, then, Little Dove. Please, just do not take up arms against yourself over my obstinant love of a woman. Be kind to yourself." Masahiro said in a soft tone, as his hand waved her off.
He knew he had injured her with his words, but her words had injured someone dear to him, and him no less. An eye for an eye may leave the world blind, but it still taught his Court Historian a lesson in the battlefield of emotions. His internal monologue hung up on the thought of Lillian's past, and his own.
"Be sure to say hello to Wulfram for me. I haven't seen him in a few days now. Not getting out of the tower is, unsettling some days."
[ At the Castle Gates ]
As the young girl approached the gates of the castle, the two Gate Guards stopped their discussion amongst themselves and one turned his focus onto her. His head tilted and he stepped forward, his palm presented forward as he commanded her to halt.
"Audience with Lord-Emperor Hatake?" The first guard questioned, then turned back to the second who shrugged, and grabbed his hair, to showcase the similarity between her hair and Masahiro's.
"I cannot guarantee you an audience with Emperor Hatake, but I can garner you audience with one of his Royal Retainers who can speak with him on your behalf, Miss?" The guard asked, then motioned her inside.

That she was not simply turned away at the gates was in and of itself a good fortune. Hikari gave a small smile to show approval but lead her sentence with a different approach. "I would have much preferred to speak to the man himself, but if a retainer is to assist me in his stead, then it will be so. Should I stow my weapons somewhere for the time being?" Pointing to her back, she alerted the guards to her quiver and bow, had they not noticed them already.

The guards would hear running steps as shtey were alert but was at ease when they saw it was the golden haired girl that was of Masahiro's ward. Moving out of the way, she saw the girl. "Hi excuseme sorry aboutthat, I have togobye." Speaking so fast, she didn't even have the time to say hello to the guards like she usually do and talk their ears off."Marco!!!" She called out to see if Masahiro would responded this time around. Decided to use her tracking skills again, she was once again, on the prowl to find Masahrio. It was then she found a man that usually works at the kitchen, "Oh perfect! Do me a huuuugggeeee favor? Can you go to the kitchen and turn down the heat? Please please please please please please p-""Stop. Just... I'll do it." With a loud triumphful yell, "YAY!" She could now focus on trying to find Masahiro. Now. Let's see. His scent was weaker here... a bit stronger there... let's go that way... "Marco!" She called out again.

Settled atop a hill in the river valley south of Tanzaku Gai, near the Hanguri Gulf, GurinbarΔ-to has replaced Keishi as the Capital of the Land of Fire. A combination of traditional Fire building techniques and newly acquired techniques from the Land of Tea, the Castle is a stark contrast to the old capital of Keishi. The inner courtyard is awash with natural beauty, transplanted from the region as the groundbreaking began. Trees and plants that had to be uprooted were held, and prepared before being replanted in the new courtyard. A fountain with a thunderstorm motif rests at the centre.
