"To be fair, there isn't one in every sentence among my people, or even with me; though I do believe in sincerity... The Tao does say a man owns every word he speaks."

He smiled warmly, if a little bit playfully. "I just am determined, and, as you said, pushy. Among the Sparrow, there is a saying. 'When life gives you yams, make mashed yams.'"

A pause. "It sounds slightly better in context, but not very. The point is... we're betrothed. Maybe neither of us planned for it, or expected it, but I'll be damned if I let some Miya matriarch, or a curse, or whatever, define my life. The Tao says 'You cannot live while hiding from life,' and it's true. I tried once... it didn't work out."

Akarei shrugged, her guard coming back up. "We will see what will happen. I suppose I do not have the same optimism you do." She flipped her book back open and stuffed her nose back into her text.

That brought a soft sigh, and he cast his gaze back out at the floating lanterns, and then muttered under his breath, "Had to push it... bloody idiot, Rokuro..."

Shaking his head, he glanced upward, taking in the stars, wondering if they had anything to say about his future.

Maybe they were laughing at him.

The Yogo once more appeared content with not speaking to her betrothed. She let the lanterns illuminate the pages as she attempted to commit the text to memory.

With a heavy sigh, he finally took a step away, and said, softly. "I suppose I should get going, there is a lot to prepare, and I should rest."

Bowing deeply, he added, "If there is anything you need, please feel free to ask... My door is always open to you."

He didn't really expect much of a response, to be honest.

Rokuro earned one more small nod before his betrothed went back to focusing on her reading...

With a weary heart, Rokuro departed into the darkness.

It seemed he would be alone in this battle.
