Summary: The King of Tai arrives and is, overall, unnervingly calm about the whole thing. Also featuring adorable Taiki antics in part 2.
Warnings: None

[upon waking]
Gyousou didn't panic. It wasn't a reaction in his repertoire, no matter how bizarre or foreign a situation he found himself in. He was unsettled, obviously, but that didn't stop him getting out of bed once his body would obey him, and moving automatically to the chest marked as his. The note he took with him, giving it a cursory glance - ransom, demands? No. Nothing he could use - and left it at the end of his bed as he examined the items he had been allocated. There was absolutely no point in waiting around. He'd had enough time to think as he'd lain frozen.

Clothing first. The robes he dismissed, too heavy and ornate for him to dress himself without aid. His old uniform, that of a Tai general, was more suitable. As much as he would prefer to wear the imperial regalia, as much a type of armour as any metal plate, it wasn't a practical choice at this point. He began to dress, not bothering to remove the white clothing in which he'd awoken. The habits of someone from a frozen climate, gratitude for an extra layer. The collar, he reserved judgement on. Obviously a form of control, of restraint, and if he had needed to contain himself, he would have done something similar. No surprises there. After a moment's pause, he belted his sword on.

The necessities dealt with, he took stock of the room before glancing out into the corridor beyond.

[after reuniting with Taiki]
[ Having solved the most pressing issue - of his immediate health and that of the Tai Taiho - Gyousou roams the halls and rooms in an order based entirely on Kouri's whim. ]

Comments

[eyeslikeblood]

He couldn't help but smile in return, as strained as the expression was.

"I won't deny it."

[lookmanostrings]

"A recent arrival, then?" Though this place could probably still be confusing to anyone, even if they'd been there for a month. Still, it was a pretty safe bet.

"If you need any assistance, please feel free to ask."

[notagiraffe]

Taiki was mostly hidden on Gyousou's shoulder wrapped in his cloak, truthfully he was half asleep, exhausted from the last month or so and feeling safe for the first time in almost a year but he recognised the voice and blinked. "Hello Fado!"

[eyeslikeblood]

"Very recent." When the kirin stirred, he paused. It didn't surprise Gyousou in the slightest that after being in this place for almost a year, Taiki had made friends with every amiable creature he came across. His smile grewer warmer.

"I may take you up on that offer, Fado."

[lookmanostrings]

"--Taiki?" Surprised crossed his face when he noticed the kirin. Eventually though, it turns into a warm smile.

"Well, any friend of Taiki's is certainly a friend of mine! I would be glad to help in any way I can."

[notagiraffe]

Taiki smiled back, happy that Gyousou seemed to like Fado.

aah skids back in here

[eyeslikeblood]

He nodded, then paused for a bare second, sorting through plans and questions.

"Forgive me if this seems impolite, but what manner of person are you?"

[lookmanostrings]

Fado's still smiling pretty cheerfully, so it doesn't look like you've offended him!

"I'm a member of the Kokiri tribe-- we are forest-dwelling beings, who live under the protect of the Great Deku Tree. I myself am the Wind Sage of the Master Sword. It is my duty to communicate the prayers of the gods, and to protect the power to repel evil."

[notagiraffe]

Taiki smiled as Fado and spoke softly, "Fado plays music for the gods in his temple." Fado was in the small group of people Taiki felt confident around, despite the constant worry he was annoying him. But that never disappeared, even round Gyousou.

all the backtags ever

[eyeslikeblood]

It was enough to hear that he was a sage - the concept was one already entirely familiar, and Gyousou just nodded in understanding. His admiring smile was for the both of them.

"A great task indeed. Would you prefer me to address you more formally?"
