Saizo and Spring Kagero

B Support

:

Saizo: I have returned.

Spring Kagero: Why? I thought you were still mad at me for having fun for once in my life.

Saizo: I realise… That out of all the arguments we've ever had… this is easily the worst.

Spring Kagero: Yes, I agree.

Saizo: And I dislike being mad at you. You are a close companion o mine – regardless of the universe.

Spring Kagero: [blushes] Thank you.

Saizo: So, I apologise.

Saizo: [pause]

Spring Kagero: …Is that it? Is that the whole of your apology?

Saizo: Yes.

Spring Kagero: A man of few words, as per usual. Well, words speak quieter than actions. Will you amend your behaviour in any way?

Saizo: Yes. I intend to.

Spring Kagero: Oh? I'm intrigued. Explain.

Saizo: I recall you yelling after me after my… abrupt exit. You said something to the effect of that I never take the time to relax. I agree. Since you appear capable of devoting time to both yourself and to your liege, I thought you might be able to help me do the same. I do not wish to intrude upon you, of course.

Spring Kagero: You are one of my greatest companions as well, Saizo. I would be honoured to show you how I relax. Of course, what works for one person, may not work for another. After all, look at flowers: some require no light and much water, others require plenty of light and little water. We all wilt and flourish differently.

Saizo: I understand.

Spring Kagero: Still, it would please me immensely if I could share my leisure with you.

Saizo: Thank you.

Spring Kagero: Let's meet again soon then. I will bring the paint supplies.

Spring Kagero: [leaves]

Saizo: …Paint supplies? I have heard many rumours about Kagero's art. I hear it is particularly awful. I doubt whatever she produces will soothe me or my 'artistic' soul. Still, I want to try and make amends. I will lie to her as necessary.
