been ages since I played this lady

[what_drfox_says]

You forgot your medicines again? Really, what should I do with you? And you're so quick to tell people to be vigilant about these things . . .

Well, I won't nag you because it's not as though it was idiocy on your part. You're not a like a certain rooster head whose name I won't mention. Just remember to take your medicines next time.

In addition to that, it's certainly not helping that you're worrying about playing me once again. I haven't changed, and just because you have doesn't mean that there's writing on the wall as soon as you start putting down my thoughts on paper.

I'm going back to work. You should too - and take your medicines!

Mine does the same... she frequently blames it on the change in her medical routines, but really, it is a matter of forgetfulness and nothing more.

[Warmth colours his voice, despite this daily battle.]

[what_drfox_says]

[Ah, a welcome presence. This made her smile.]

Perhaps we should get them a calendar that they must tick off daily as soon as they've taken their medicines, but my only worry is that they'd forget that as well.

[A laugh.]

It is good to see you again, Mitsuhide.

[featherwrapped]

Mine once thought to track it in her diary, but that endeavour was a wasted one. We persevere with them, however, don't we?

[Mitsuhide laughs himself. How can he not, in this moment?]

Always and forever, dear Lady.

[what_drfox_says]

We do, though I don't mind tormenting mine a little.

[Are those twitching fox ears on her head or are you just imagining them?]

[He elicited another gentle laugh.]

It's so nice to stretch my legs out after all these years. How are you, Mitsuhide? Still as dashing and strong as ever?

[Ohohohohohoho~]

[featherwrapped]

I shall let you be the judge of that.

[Mitsuhide is certainly sure that he can 'see' them, at least in his mind's eye. Some things don't change, and that's a welcome fact.]>

You are no less the tease. You wish to make me blush so soon into this reunion?

[Not like it takes much, let's be real.]

[what_drfox_says]

Why waste time?

[She immediately linked her arm in his, pressing close with a cheeky, wry smile.]

My mundane has had me up to my ears with medical work in what she calls her "headspace". I don't mind, of course - [and, let's face it, she lived to help others - ] but I won't protest if she gives me a chance to have fun.

[featherwrapped]

[There's the inevitable flush; it's barely a dusting of red, but on skin as pale as Mitsuhide's it's really obvious.]

I would certainly never deny you your fun.

[Yet despite that slight embarrassment, his voice just sounds affectionate and amused.]

[Right now there is nothing Megumi could do to make Mitsuhide stop smiling at her. Not even the most wicked of her teasing!]

If making me blush grants you said fun, do as you will.

[what_drfox_says]

[Her smile was like that of the cat that ate the canary.]

Oh, I plan to.

[She gave him a mischievous wink before tugging him along.]

Come on, then; let's take a stroll.

How has your mundane been keeping you busy? I do hope she hasn't been making you do all sorts of things.

[featherwrapped]

[Mitsuhide offers a very knowing smile of his own before getting to that walk.]

I slept for a long time, and was mostly occupied with dreaming.

[He laughs quietly.]

In truth it was only within the past month or so that I stirred properly. So you might say I was safely tucked away?

late reply, sorry!

[what_drfox_says]

[Megumi nodded, content with that answer. Mitsuhide, in her opinion, had undergone enough hardship and deserved an uneventful rest whenever he was "tucked away", as he'd said.]

What did you dream about?
