It had been a long day. Kiyoshi had done all her chores, cleaned half the house (the rest was for her mother) and prayed to the gods. She really didn’t understand praying to the gods if they never listened.
She got up out of her bed and got dressed and began to make her way out of the clan walls and into the busy streets to see her friends, Toghe and Hamaki. Toghe was older but weaker, and Hamaki was younger, but stronger. Kiyoshi had marked the trees on the way their last time, so she knew where to go. She followed the marked trees and found Hamaki’s home* “HAMAKI! IT’S KIYOSHI!!!” *Kiyoshi yelled, giggling afterwards. How absurd, she thought, screaming like a banshee for Hamaki
Soon enough, the tan boy walked out of his house quietly, and glared at Kiyoshi “my parents at asleep, keep your voice down” *He said firmly, then sighed* “are you getting me to see Toghe? If so, I’ll grab the tea.” *Hamaki cared for Toghe, who was incredibly sick and didnt’ have enough money for treatment. “Yeah! Toghe sent me a letter using his crow again! I wonder how he does it” *Kiyoshi said, walking with Hamaki inside as the two talked while grabbing tea for Toghe.
After getting to Toghe’s house, Kiyoshi pushed open the sliding doors, seeing Toghe lying on his bed, which was on the floor. The boy was sleeping, his chest slowly rising and falling. Kiyoshi was about to wake him, when Hamaki stopped her and began to make tea.
Hamaki hummed a soft tune while Kiyoshi looked out at the night sky “the stars are so pretty. I’m happy all our clans are night clans” *Kiyoshi said calmly, putting her hands up like she was reaching for the stars
“Careful Kiyoshi, that wall is old, don’t lean on it to much” As Hamaki spoke, he felt Toghe wrap his frail arms around him “Hama….” *Toghe said rather weakly “Is that the Sakura tea i like…?” *Hamaki only nodded in response.
Sakura tea was a natural healing tea in Hamaki’s clan, so he commonly brought it for Toghe, not only because Toghe loved it, but because it helped him.
Kiyoshi didn’t now this at the time, but the two were very much in love. While Kiyoshi was lost in thought, an old man, most likely one of the village elders in Toghe’s village, popped in the room. “Hello you two. It’s nice to see you here. Toghe talks about you two quite a bit”
Kiyoshi smiled at the old man “Hi elder Née!” *Kiyoshi said with a smile, while Hamaki smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
Hours had pasted since Kiyoshi arrived, so she had to go home, since it would take an hour to get back to her clan. She waved bye to Toghe and Hamaki, the said bye to elder Née.
Once she was back to her clan, she quietly went to her room, but was stopped by her father’s courtesan “Mi! Hi!”
