Hisao walked through the village watching the preparations go up for the festival. He had been told that the festival represented the new harvest the town received at the beginning of every spring. "Don't see the point. Nowadays it's easy to store food throughout the winter." His mind went back to the letter he had received from John the other day. "Stay safe John." He mumbled under his breath as a man whipped past him carrying art supplies. "Hey be more careful will ya?" The man waved an apology as he kept running.

Rein heard hisao's voice and darted to his side. "who's john?" She asked as she grabbed hold of his jacket. She'd already angered a few people ad the bustle caused her to collide with busy towns folk. "and can I come to your house for dinner? Daddy's trying with the fiancé thing again."

Hisao stumbled when Rein grabbed a hold of his jacket. "How in the world did you hear my brothers name?" He walked over to the side of the street getting the way out of people. "And yes of course you can come to my house for dinner." A man fell down from a ladder a little ways down when he was trying to hang a banner. "I hope he's okay."

"You said it." She told him giggling. "You said 'stay safe john' so he's your brother? I wish I had a brother. He'd be as fun as me and daddy would stop the wedding idea." She stumbled on something and winced as her ankle stung. "Yay dinner!"

Hisao grabbed her arm when she stumbled. "You okay?"
"Who's okay?" Lilly walked to the two smiling lovingly at the two. Her stomach protruded ever so slightly indicating she was at least a month pregnant. "Oh Kyoto I didn't see you behind Hisao, ooooh what happened to your ankle?"
"How on earth do you two have such good hearing?" Hisao pinched the bridge of his nose as his beloved wife came towards them. "She just hurt her ankle is all."

Rein clapped and giggled. "Lilly!" She reached out to the woman "how's the baby?" She asked excitedly. "Can you feel them move yet?" She was smiling so wide her cheeks hurt. No one really let her play with the smaller children, they figured she'd mess up and hurt them because she was blind. "And my ankle'll be alright. I'm just not used to it being so hectic. I guess everyone's pretty busy with the festival."

"Oh it's just fine Rein, and no I can't feel it move yet." Lilly helped Rein to her as the crowd began to thicken. "Hisao I think we should find somewhere quieter, or at least somewhere a little less crowded." She had to almost yell over the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
Hisao nodded leading the two girls into a small diner nearby. "This should be good enough." He said opening the door for the two ladies. "We could even get some dinner here to." The diner was occupied by a few passerby's who just wanted to get away from all the chaos of the festival. People tended to get hurt when everyone hustled to set everything up. Hisao got the three a booth near a window and began to flip through a menu. "So Rein what have you been up to lately?"

Rein remembered that hisao saw her with kei and giggled. "Harboring fugitives." She sang. "and cute little animals too." She smiled conspiringly. "And hiding from papa's idea of husbands." She sighed but quickly recovered her cheer. She changed the subject.
"I can't wait to meet your baby." She blushed and hugged lilly. "I hope it's a boy! That way he can marry me and hisao can be my papa too!" The childish idea was fallowed by a musical peal of laughter. "Or maybe I'll marry kei!" She giggled "only, he's scared of girls..." she thought silently for a moment. "But maybe he'd get used to me. Papa says people grow on you so you can get used to just about anyone."

Lilly hugged the girl back. "Oh how I would love you as a daughter-in-law." She smiled lovingly at the girl. "Oooooo sounds like you found a boy of your own." She looked over to Hisao who had taken his seat opposite of them. "Do you approve dear?" She asked teasingly.
Hisao naturally thought it was the boy he had saw with Kei a couple of nights ago. "Well she is her own woman so she can make her own decisions. I'm sure whoever it is he's a good man. After all Kei picked him out."

Rein smiled and rolled her eyes. "Papa would have a litter of puppies if I even suggested. You know how he is." She patted Lilly's belly. "Besides kei's dream is to cross the border. He's like me!" She grinned. The couple had to know just how obsessed she was with their neighboring country. "That's why I like him! And mijo too. She's from over there. You saw her right? Hisao?" She tilted her head in his direction. "She's really really smart and has two tails! Kei said she can talk too but he's having trouble teaching her."

Lilly face grew bright at the mention of the territories. "Oh how I miss my home country. We thought about visiting back there awhile back didn't we dear." She smiled at her husband across the table.
Hisao nodded his head yes. "Yeah when John first started writing to me. Oh that must have been... 3 years ago, right after my step uncle died." He grabbed Lilly's hand stroked it lovingly. "It has been awhile since we've seen home hasn't it. I think I miss the ocean the most." Hisao laughed at a distant memory. "I remember this one time Mom and Rei took us the beach, Rei was my second father." He explained to Rein. "Rei had this great trick where he would move entire waves while me and John rode on them with surf boards. Man we wiped out so many times." His laughter grew quiet at the memory of his deceased parents.
Lilly patted his hand and gripped tightly. "They're in a better place now Hisao." She turned to Kyoto giving her a soft smile. "His parents were killed during a Fire Calgor raid before we moved here." She explained.

Rein frowned. "I'm sorry, hisao." She told him. "I didn't mean to remind you of bad things." She could hear the pain and anger mixed in with his laughter. "Can you tell me again what it's like?" She asked, a bubble of excitement in her quiet voice.

Hisao nodded. "Yeah sure. My favorite place in the world where I grew up was the beach." He smiled fondly at his distant memory. "The water there is beautiful, and the sounds of the waves hitting the beach lulls you into a deep sleep. The weather is always fine there never to hot, or to cold. Being able just to relax on the sand letting the wind blow all around you just taking in the sound is amazing."

Rein's sightless cloudy grey eyes darkened as she bathed in hisao's memories. He longing was painfully obvious in the expression she wasn't aware she wore. "How could you bare to leave it?" She asked in awe. Still immersed in the picture hisao had described. "I know you were scared and hurt, but..." she sighed "it doesn't seem worth it." She would personally face any amount of danger, discrimination or violence if it meant the freedom and wonder she'd only ever heard or read about.

Lilly shook Rein carefully. "Are you okay Rein?" She asked with tenderness filled in her voice.
Hisao eyed the girl as well. "Hey Rein I didn't mean to make you upset."
