Accidental Video

[golden_hawke]

-=The aftermath of the snowball war is apparent everywhere. Trampled snow, destroyed forts, knocked over building debris and trees...

But one tree stands alone. And Hawke's there, busily carving names in the highest portions of the trunk, letting them winding down towards the base by the snow trampled ground.

He's currently working on his own name, a design of swirls and points in a language that no one would really know here. It's his full name, a name that he has revealed to no one here, not even lovers. Hawke takes his time, brushing off bits of bark here and there. When he's finally done, he sighs softly, touching the markings longingly. A moment later he pulls his cloak closer to his body and continues on with the work. He must have been out there for a while now, since he's wearing a heaving cloth around his waist that's down to his ankles, a tunic and the cloak.=-

I think that is good. We will have to climb higher, though.

Ladder, ladder, ladder...

[She cranes her head all around as though actually half expecting to see one.]

-=Looks at her strangely before swinging himself up onto the next branch, reaching down to pull her up.=-


Are you coming, Usagi?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[Geez, Adstring. Usagi looks uncertainly up into the branches.]

Climbing it?

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

Mm. -=nods=-

It is not hard.

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

I'll try!

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

I will help!

[And with Hawke's help, Usagi clambers into the tree, managing to avoid bringing them both down to the ground.]

-=Hawke's strong! He won't let her fall. Finally, they make it to the right branch, and they can sit instead of stand n the branches.=-

[Usagi sits with an unmistakable breath of relief.]

I can reach from here, though!

[She will find the silver lining.]

[golden_hawke]

Do you wish my strength again?

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah, can you help like last time? I'd probably make it messy again.

[golden_hawke]

I am honored to help. -=and he helps once again with keeping the knife steady and digging into the bark.=-

[And before long, Makoto's name in Japanese (also in kana, sorry Mako-chan) is added to the tree.]

[golden_hawke]

-=He sits back when it is done, nodding slightly.=-

It feels right, now.

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Um... since we're even here already... and everything... could I put Chibi-Usa's name here, too?

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

Yes. -=He nods again, looking back to the bark of the tree.=-

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Mm... [She hesitates uncharacteristically and finds the branch quite interesting.]

But what name should I write?

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

... You should write from the heart.

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Then I'll write 'Chibi-Usa'.

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

It is a good name. -=waits for her to begin.=-

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[She writes slowly and carefully.]

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=He says nothing, and lets her take as much time as she needs.=-

Re: [offline]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[When she finishes, she smiles and turns her head up towards Hawke.]

There! It looks good, doesn't it?

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=He rests a hand on her head.=-

It is beautiful.
