    “Ah–no, no, it’s fi–” And before she can even finish the thought, he’s off again, talking over her. Well. A little excitable, wasn’t he? (It was kind of overwhelming, but in the same vein… she couldn’t blame him. Everyone involved in the war really only had two speeds: high-strung or exhausted.)

    She waits for a moment or two after he stops speaking–she wants to be certain he’s done this time–before she tries to respond.

    “Uh–first of all… it’s fine, really. I understand what you were trying to say.” She feels like she should get that out of the way, at least. “Otherwise–we’d planned to move towards Cragspur next, but we haven’t gotten too far with our plans just yet. After all, it’s only been a few days since everything happened…”

     The battle, of course, but also Nobunaga crashing into their little party that same evening. (And frankly, Hiroko was still shaken. ) Needless to say, there hasn’t been much time for strategy just yet.

    “Those maps sound useful, though–do you mind if I take a look?” She asks, motioning towards the papers. “Er–not right now, if you’d rather. I suppose you might want to get everything sorted out first…”

...Oh... Oops...

Apparently, his nerves and his manners weren’t on the same page today. This time he’ll wait until she’s finished before speaking up again.

Ah, to Cragspurr then? Seemed only reasonable.

So... While she’s talking... he busies himself by digging into the pages once more. Maybe the most surprising thing is he finds it fast. Naoe holds out the paper with a smile on his face (still in silence so that he doesn’t step on the young woman’s toes).

Once she’s trailed off into thought, he speaks again.

“I’ll get everything sorted out later, this should be the most updated map of Cragspurr I have.”

“Lady Azai!”

He seems to have gotten over the fresh failure at the crystalline battle ground of Illusio as he scuttles up to the young woman, arms brimming with however many papers he was trying so hard to handle. “Lord Uesugi! He’s told me to follow you into the battlefield for the remainder of our alliance.” Naoe then partakes in a small bow… Only to end up having to pick up a group of papers as they gracelessly fell from his sleeves, fortunately, his ralts is there to help.

After a few pages are taken from the ground, Kanetsugu looks back up at Aurora’s warlord with a sheepish grin. Definitely an act to try and make up for the giant idiot he felt like at the moment. Not that Ralts did anything to hide that he was silently chastising himself right at that moment.

“I… believe we’ve already met before the battle, but I am Naoe Kanetsugu. Illusio’s retainer.”

    Momentarily, all Hiroko can really do is watch in uncertainty. 

    “Um–are you alright? Do you… need some help with that…?” Are the first words to leave her mouth.  She moves to pick up one of the pieces that had drifted by her feet (it’s hard not to feel a little bad for the poor guy), but pauses, not sure if he’d even appreciate the help.

    Even so, Hiroko can’t quite process the disconnect between the Kanetsugu she’d seen during the battle and the one she was seeing now. He’d been a fairly formidable opponent–both of the times she’d had to face him, in fact. It was fair to say this definitely wasn’t what she would’ve imagined him to be like outside of the battlefield.

    “Er… here,” she finally decides, picking up the paper and handing it back. “It’s nice to finally meet you properly. I take it Lord Uesugi is going to stay back and hold down the line in Illusio for the time being?”

“-Ah! Thank you! Just a little scatterbrained, I guess-!”

On second thought, he really should’ve stopped to grab... a bigger bag. Oh well, he’s this far now. If you’re going to get wet you might as well go swimming. He’ll make note to purchase one later on their travels, but first thing’s first.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, too, my lady.” Naoe tips his head forward- indicating a nod- before continuing to answer her question. “Yes, he believed that him staying would keep morale higher than if he left... Not that you’re no good for morale or anything, you put up a swell fight!”

Awkward. That last bit is so awkward. There’s got to be a way to turn that around-!!

“Speaking of fighting,” There’s his answer. “Where do we plan on battling next? I’ve brought several maps of the neighboring kingdoms with me, I can only hope they make your conquest that much easier.”

“RANSEI NEEDS MORE HONOR!!!”

GOOD LUCK CATCHING THIS FRIEND BECAUSE HE’S BREAKING OUT OF THIS JOINT

i want to know what bears think sometimes

with each waking second this post makes me stronger

@beautyoftheeast

my favourite thing is probably the scientific name of the Grizzly bear. 

It’s Ursus arctos horribilis. “ursus” meaning bear in Latin and “arctos”, bear in Greek.

so essentially a grizzly is a “horrible bear bear.” 

shaymew

The Eurasian Brown Bear is Ursus arctos arctos

So literally “Bear Bear Bear”. The most bear a bear can be. 

So bear. Much roar. Wow.

Also! The Arctic Circle is named for the bears, not the other way ‘round. It’s the Circle With Bears In, and the Antarctic is the Circle (and continent) Away From Bears.

Are you telling us that the poles of our world are Bear Continent and Anti-Bear Continent
