People said that wanderers got restless if they stayed in one place for long. Kenshin waited for the itch but it didn't come. He eased into a daily routine, adjusting it to Kaoru's, finding it relaxing. Sometimes he walked her to Maekawa, others he went to the market while she taught. Or to the forest if the need to let out some pent up energy arose.
"This is boring." Sano observed him as he was doing the laundry. He smiled at the brunette's antsiness, though boring was far from his ideas.
Just then, Yahiko stomped out from the dojo, face scrunched up. "How the Hell am I supposed to get strong if there's no fight?!"
Kenshin shook with silent laughter then. Oh, the restlessness of youth!
