Tsun's Apartment and Workshop

He turned and hugged Takumi. "Thanks." he then lay down a bit feeling tired from the daylight. "Takumi...did you really mean what you said at the park?"

*Takumi blushes a bit* "Y-y-yes...I did...I really do want to go with you when you leave...I like you."

He smiled and nodded. "Ok." He then cuddled a bit. "I will bring you with me when we're both adults."

Syprus walked out and took a seat in his chair, "you two can take a nap if you want." Syprus had a smile on his face.

"I'm fine daddy. I slept at grandpa's. I'm going to go back to reading." *Takumi picks up the book bley gave her and starts looking at the pictures again*

He yawned and laid down resting his head on Takumi's lap. "Hmm..." He then yawned and looked up at her smiling. "Takumi...I like you."

"I do too...ashura." *Takumi looked at ashura and smiled, then went back to looking at the pictures*

"Ok so did you figure out ancient script?"

He cuddled and then yawned closing his eyes while smiling. "Takumi...I promise to always be there to protect you."

"Mostly...I still have a bit to learn...I only learned enough to learn the spell I needed to cure ashura..." *Takumi continues looking through the book's pictures*

He blinked and then curled up with her. "Hmm..."

"I feel left out, my kids don't want to cuddle with me. That old book I gave it back after I could not read it what book you got there." Syprus started to laugh.

"It's a book a strange lady gave me...she was asking if I wanted to do something for her...I would get to wear a cute dress and eat lots of sweets. I asked her to tell me more...but she handed me this book and left. I can't read it, so I'm looking at the pictures instead."

He yawned before falling asleep cuddling with Takumi.

"Hmmm sounds interesting," syprus got up and sat next to Takumi. He could not read the book either.

He stirred a bit when Syprus sat down and looked around before yawning and closing his eyes going back to sleep.

"She said it was for a party or a festival...I can't remember. Grandpa seemed to know about her and this thing though. He seemed to understand what she was talking about."

Syprus laid his head on Takumi's, "what did he have to say about it?"

"He said no, but I wanted to learn more...so the lady handed me this book."

"Might be good to listen to him." Syprus sat up again.

"Maybe...but she said it was my choice...and she seemed to really want me to help..."

He stirred a bit while sleeping.

"If dad said no it normaly means it is something dangerous, you should listen to him." Syprus patted Takumi's head. "Ashura is good to be around you are finally talking to me nicer."

"But what's so dangerous about wearing a dress and eating sweets? We go to festivals like that all the time daddy. I still have my kimono from last festival."

In his sleep a few tears ran down his cheek and he rolled over hiding his face against Takumi's stomach.
