⠀ 𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐮𝐡𝐚 ࿐🍁 It’s…nice. The silence between us with no banal words to fill it with. It’s not bad. ⠀

⠀ Good Morning. ⠀

⠀ Wakes up and finds himself laying on the ground. ⠀

⠀ "A decent view of the stars sounds more like a boon than a waste." ⠀

⠀ A soft laugh. "I would. I would even go so far as to say I'd believe it, too." His chin tips skywards. Greeting him is a canvas speckled with countless of beautiful stars. How could any soul deny this view? ⠀

⠀ [ Blinking slowly at a cat. The cat reciprocates. Back and forth they go for the next twenty minutes. ] ⠀

⠀ [ Wordlessly, Kazuha offers a hand—its upward palm inviting Wanderer to take it rather than pulling him from the ground. ] ⠀

⠀ "I couldn't help but notice the wide-open door." A figure with a smile on his voice glides into view, standing by the cave's mouth. The moon against his back is as a halo. "Pardon the intrusion." ⠀

⠀ Ah. ⠀

ㅤ ... Ah! ㅤ

ㅤ "Ah, indeed." The deck should be thundering with footfalls come to seize the intruder. Kazuha, however, decides to be unhelpful, and tilts his head instead of alerting anyone. "Turning your kasa into anemo so that you may slip through the window. Quite clever." ㅤ

⠀ A lovely morning indeed. ⠀

ㅤ [ He chuckles, hand lightly over his lips. ] The branch may have had something to do with it. Why were you hiding, exactly? ㅤ

ㅤ Not quite. Although now that you mention it, I’d failed to notice my hunger. [ At that he pulls up a leg, picking at his tabi sock in preparation. ] How do you feel about freshly grilled fish? ㅤ

⠀ Kazuha shifts ever so slightly upon impact, though not enough to interrupt his wood carving. “Hello.” He says, smile evident. “Feeling weary?” ⠀

⠀ “Ah. I had hoped to carve a cat, though it would seem this is not my best work.” A bashful laugh as he raises the statuette for Wanderer to see. In the right light, it should make the shape of a sleeping kitten. In any other lighting, however… “Any advice?” ⠀
