This Icon is for Lion's Feelings

[llywelin]

[CLEANING. Lion has been cleaning because, well, most of her other chores and so on were done and she likes to stay busy. Not like there isn't always something to clean. Dusting especially because good lord who decided Victorian homes would be built this way when it means so much dust? But dusting is kind of relaxing in a weird way so it's fine. She can space out doing it and think random Lion thoughts and be calm.

Will and Jade are around doing their own things and Lion isn't planning on going anywhere today, so being dressed in some baggy trousers and one of Will's shirts is fine. Hair up in a loose bun because it would be hot on her neck otherwise. Last part of this unintentionally horrible look is a sort of bandanna that she's had up over her mouth and nose.

Then there's a knock at the door. Lion almost asks Will or Jade to get it. She looks a bit inappropriate for door answering. But then again at worse it means she'll be mistaken for some servant. And if it's a friend, well, whatever. Not like she cares too much. So she tugs the bandanna down and gets the door.]

[To be fair Kinzo's attitude probably wouldn't change one bit if he knew. At least he's consistent in his arrogance and protectiveness. But Will's amusement doesn't offend him--he could speculate a number of reasons but in the end the answer is acceptable.]

[That his granddaughter is dating a killer doesn't bother him at all. As long as she's not the one in danger, it might be even better to have a guy with the skill to be her bodyguard as much as her lover. He smiles, his slight approval. He'll have to interact with Will more, but so far the man isn't losing any points. Good start.]

Not a choice everyone would have made. [Because there are enough soulless bastards who will kill for the fun of it and not care about the innocence of the victim, Orders is Orders. So Will passes the interview and Kinzo's attention is back on Lion.]

How has your adjustment to this place been? It's a bit old-fashioned even for me. [Twenty or thirty or so years before he was even born? To his grandchildren it must seem like a lifetime in the past.]

[Lion is just happy Will saved her - unsure what she owes him but still - and that Kinzo likes him. Of course, she can't really see why people wouldn't like Will, for all that she teases him, but it's fine. Though Lion gets the strange feeling that Erika will be angry tonight. No idea why.

And considering all the things she accepts about Will, none of that can bother her at all. She just smiles at Will. Thank you for helping and playing along.]

It hasn't been too difficult, to my own surprise. But Rokkenjima has always been a quiet place and a little distant from the rest of the world. If anything has been hard to adjust to, it's the food here. The quality can be...below what any person should accept, to be honest. I think half my work is managing our budget to buy food worth having. We have a wonderful chef at home and meals were well done even before then. So while the dress and atmosphere have been an annoyance, I miss those dinners.
