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.=-

-=For Hawke, such things were normal and didn't require any more thought than eating or breathing. He smiles warmly, waving slightly.=-

Hello, Hinata.

[hyuugahime]

What ... what should I do ?

[golden_hawke]

You find a place on the tree that feels right. Then carve the name.

[hyuugahime]

[She nods, and gets a kunai out of the weapon's pouch around her right leg. For a moment, she walks around the tree, watching all the names that have been carved, some of them in unknown alphabets. Then, she chooses a secluded spot, one that will be covered by leaves when they comes back, and starts her work.]

-=He waits quietly off to the side, giving her the privacy he senses she may need.=-

[hyuugahime]

[She smoothes the bark as she finishes and puts the kunai back into the pouch. Then, she gets out a forehead protector from her jacket, one that is identical to the one she's wearing around her neck.]

M-May I ... ?

[golden_hawke]

-=Smiles warmly and nods once, motioning permission.=-

[<i<She ties the headband to the nest branch, next to the name. not too tight, so it won't hurt the tree. She caresses the metal with her fingers, then the name again, and finally steps back.</i>]

Thank you, Hawke-san.

[golden_hawke]

-=He smiles, bowing his head.=-

You are welcome, sister.

Damn html !

[hyuugahime]

[Hinata gives a start, and reddens.]

S-Sister ?

It loves you. I'm sure of it!

[golden_hawke]

Yes? -=what did he say?=-

[hyuugahime]

Then ... C-Can I call you Hawke-nii-sama ?

[golden_hawke]

Yes? Does that mean something special?

[hyuugahime]

I-It's ... It's a respectfuly way of calling someone who is older than you ... and it also means big brother.

[golden_hawke]

You may call me that, then. -=Nods and bows slightly, placing his hand to his heart.=- You honor me with this.

[hyuugahime]

[She hurriedly bows back.]

N-not at all ! I ... I am in your debt as well.

[golden_hawke]

In my debt?

[hyuugahime]

For helping me ... back then.

Thank you, Hawke-nii-sama.
