Vivi was tired.
Tired of smiling and ruling and people. Her laughter was forced and her eyes clouded.
It's dark in the room that she's dedicated to them and the tea in her hands is too hot to drink. For a moment, she is caught up in dreams where she is with her nakama; free.
She's startled when Kohza comes in. He stares; she thinks in that look he can read her mind. Then he holds her and she remembers a promise in an X and is silently content again.
They sit there together as she softly sips her tea.
