PoT: Translated: Unnoticed

Fic post from my archive.

Unnoticed

Echizen escorts Sakuno and deals with a little trouble. Other sorts of trouble, he misses completely. Drama, I-3

Or, she admitted to herself with a silent sigh, maybe he hadn't done it for her at all. He was a samurai, after all; she was young, but she knew how the men of her own class could be about fights and challenges.

You know, that encounter is so much more satisfying with swords. Which probably says something about me...

*pets Sakuno*

I wonder who it is Sumire-gozen is complaining about. I can't wait to see the others. X3

Swords! Pretty much what lysapadin said. Heh.

*also pets Sakuno* Ganbatte Sakuno-hime! ;_;

Echizen-dono flicked his sword away from Sakuno with a snap of his wrist and sheathed it, and turned to look Sakuno up and down. "You didn't get dirty. Good. Let's get to the shrine, then."

I really like this line...he got a little worried about her but I guess if Sakuno got dirty Ryoma would get in trouble. ^^;

.... what does it say about me that I got giddy when I realized they're "playing" with real swords? >.>

What's worse was my realization that Fuji would have a blade, too... yeah. There just aren't enough cold showers. !__!




And... I have to say: This scene was just so damn more satisfying with blades!!!!

And I'm all just "XD" at Sakuno and Ryoma's obliviousness and how Sasabe got so owned by Ryoma. Of course, action sharp pointy objects made me reeeaally happy too. It's so much more, um, gratifying, somehow, with swords.

What everyone else said - this scene just seems to fit perfectly with swords. This is probably my favourite of the set so far - just because it has Ryoma and Sakuno (and Sasabe) all being perfectly themselves. Plus blood and sharp pointy objects.

"Echizen-dono... thank you," Sakuno murmured at last, blushing.

Echizen-dono blinked at her. "For what?"

Ahhh, young love. *pours imaginary hearts on oblivious Ryoma*
