[Sousuke takes his time to wander through the shrubbery, taking the path along the flowering greens. They’re rarely in the back of the castle and he doesn’t know if he’s ever bothered to look out the back. Maybe he has, but regardless, all of this looks fresh and new. It’s a nice feeling, though he does keep an eye out for anything that’s not supposed to be here. Like Rin’s figuring, there might still be threats so… Sousuke doesn’t want to get caught unaware again.
He snirks a little at that almost-choke above him, but doesn’t feel like rubbing it in. Nice to surprise Rin. He turns his path and heads for the pond, keeping his pace leisurely and slow. The swans don’t need to be startled by this… weird shape coming towards them.]
You said that.
[Of course Rin knows that, but the answer, while nice, doesn’t sit all well with Sousuke. It’s trite while true, but makes him wonder what Rin’s happiness really holds to? He doesn’t want to be the sole reason for Rin’s happiness or sadness; there should be more to it than that. And he wants to know what that is.]
Together, hm…
[Yes, that is something he’s happy about as well. Even if it’s been only a couple months, being with Rin… feels nice. It makes him happy. But when the tone softens, Sousuke guesses what’s coming and slows his pace as they reach the edge of the pond. Swans still included.]
Aa… [He gazes at the water, the silence understanding between them. Rin’s home…] Nah, Rin… Tell me about your home. What was it like?
