If Swords could talk (Open)

[Yuki D'Avranches]

Date:2 Weeks before Morgg
Time: Little before Midnight

It was late at night the moon was currently at a crescent, the only light in the area was the flicking of the torches that lit up the area. In the middle of the training ground sat a lone figure next to the figure were a couple of empty bottles were next to them with another in they hand. Next to them stuck in the ground was long sword, and sounds could be heard. Upon closer look anyone passing by would realize that the figure was Lady Yuki, in a white nightgown and her hair was a mess with parts sticking out. On her exposed back would be small bruises that are not normally visible in the day but were in plain open view to anyone right now.



Yuki looked up at the sky her eyes half glazed over as she took a swing of the wine as her laughter reaches across the training ground echoing back to her. “Mama… No…” A small amount of fear could be heard in her voice as she curled around the sword she turned to the look at the sword. “You know… I glad I can talk you swordy.” She said as she pat the hilt of the blade, tears rolling down her eyes as thought back to what happened earlier that evening that led to her currently drinking and talking to a sword.

Diamond could not sleep at all, restless and he had to do something. Perhaps it was the fact that he had been in one place for awhile now and it was getting to him. So he put on a gi and hakama pants and a sake gourd and put two sake sausers into a pouch and walked into the night. The white haired captain walked about the castle finding a solitary place to have a few drinks. The crescent moon above was a good night for a few drinks. He wandered about until he came to the training grounds and heard a rather familure voice. Diamond's eye adjusting to the night and spots a young lady in the distance. He approached from behind and as he came close though, the captain saw some brusing on the girl's back. Then heard her voice more clearly and the blond hair and Diamond had to sigh a bit and saw the two bottles of wine around Yuki. "I'm......going to regret this in the morning" he said and heard the young lady's drunken tone. He knew that misery loved company when drinking and from what he could gather. It would seem to him that Yuki was going to be in a rather dark place then anything else. Diamond from where he stood could not see what she was exactly holding on to.

"On a night like this, one should not drink there sorrows alone" Diamond spoke up as he approached Yuki. He figured that he might as well join the young lady and drink a bit. He didn't have anything to really do and was not feeling sleepy or tired at the moment and figured do his good deed for the week or something.

Yuki heard a voice first she looked at Swordy but he did not speak it wasn’t his voice, turning her head to look she saw someone with white hair. Another set of laughter left her as she looked at the way the person’s hair seem to hang over they shoulders it was pretty. After a while her mind finally registered the words they spoke. “I’m not alone…” She said as reminded in her spot holding onto the sword. “Swordy been keeping my company!” Another fit of giggles left her lips before she took another swig of the bottle. “Swordy said you can join us.”

Diamond did worry now as Yuki was heavily drunk and was also going over the deep end. "Er thank you then" said Diamond as he sat down on the ground and sat cross legged. He pulled out the sake saucer and opened his gourd and pour himself a bit of potent rice wine. He then had a shot and the cold brew sent a shock through his system. "So Yuki, what are you doing up this late and drinking this heavily" he asked since asking about the bruses might have been a bit too direct at the moment. Perhaps loosening her lips might have been the better option and choice at the moment. Diamond himself was not worried about Yuki's sword being drawn on him. He was minorly buzzed compared to the piss ass drunk Yuki. He was rather worried though about the young lady drinking into abandon like this. Since it could harm her body a bit, although she was young to cope with the physical aspect of drinking but not the mental.

“I been drinking it’s only my…” Holding up her free hand in front of her as she tried remember how many bottles had. “Third bottle? Yes my third bottle I believe.” She said as tried to think about what had happened. Most of it was in pieces since she had started drinking to forget about it all most of it came back slowly she remember it had started with her mother. “Mother wanted to talk to me.” Her eyes looked towards the sky, her fingers ran across the bladed point of the sword drawing a thin line of blood not that she noticed. “It was a marriage meeting… she found someone that was willing to marry me.”



Yuki turned her eyes to the white haired person before her as tried to remember who it was. It was hard since so many people she had encountered in her life had white hair and it did not help that the voice had that lower frequency of male. “Swordy was lonely too and came to comfort me.”

Diamond silently listened to Yuki's drunken ramblings, although these were truths though. Since it seemed that political marriage or something along those lines. He did concern himself as three bottles of wine was a lot and her build though was not of one that could handle a lot. Although this was wine compared to the Sake he was having though and he mulled over a few things before speaking. "I take it that your already in some kind of relationship? Or that the man that your mother is setting up for you is rather creepy or sets off some warning bells" he said and filled his saucer with some more sake. And then Diamond letting the alcohol down the hatch. Letting that wonderful shock go through him. He knew of the problems of the nobility as well as upper classes. About having political marriages for pride and or status. It slightly depressed him as there really was not any true love. Sometimes it did happen but most of the time it was not the case, but he was an outsider and one of a lower class and not of one of true nobility. Well he was higher then most in a man of his possition.

He saw Yuki slightly bleeding from one of her hands "Lady Yuki, can I see both of your hands for a second" he said and pulled out a clear white crystal from his crystal pouch. Since he might as well heal the cut since she was holding her long sword's blade.

“In a relationship…” Yuki thought about the person that liked and wondered if maybe it was possible but quickly crushed those thoughts since she knew that it would not happen. “He was…” Her voice dropped as rested her head against the hilt of the sword trying to get her brain to focus on the meeting but most of it had become dull from the alcohol. “He was… I mean… he was twice my age. Yes… that’s it he was old enough to be my father.” Her eyes closed for a moment as she tried to push that memory from her mind she did not want to think about that meeting or what followed after the meeting. Opening her eyes she turned to the sword almost having a secret conversation with it before she took another drink. Shaking the bottle she realized that it was almost empty and would have to go get another bottle from the kitchen.



Hearing her name she looked up at the male, the only thoughts going through her head was that he wanted to see her hands. Seeing no harm in it she placed the bottle down and took her other hand off the sword and offered them to him. The thin trail of blood was now running down her hand and other cuts were visible on her hands, the only thing that looked normal was the calluses that had formed on her fingers.

"I see" said Diamond as he was not good on relationships himself though. She did avoid his question on the man that she was forced to marry. Perhaps it was a sorespot or something that she could not really talk about. But with the amount of alcohol in her system. She would have had a really lose tounge about now. "I myself have not been in a real meaningful relationship with someone. I've been on the road too much in my life....or that I would bed with a woman who had some lose morals. I can tell that you had something like that. Cherish what you have at least" he said and then took Yuki's hands and then pulled out a clear looking crystal and it started to glow. The cuts on Yuki's hands would heal up rather quickly. And after a few seconds the crystal's glow went out and the gem shattered into dust and flew into the wind. "There your hand should be good as new" he said and then poured himself another shot of Sake.

“Relationships of love rarely happen… a male I was expected to marry to help another poor female. As a female I am nothing but a tool for political gain or business.” Her eyes, as few tears started to well up in her eyes before they disappeared like they never came. “You are lucky… you will never be forced to marry someone you don’t want.” Yuki tilted her head side as watched him take a crystal, it reminded her so much of something she would wear to a party.



Watching as the crystal started to glow she just looked at it wondering what was causing it happen. What felt like it was hours but truly was less than a minute she watched as it turned to dust in her hands, a gentle wind blew it away to leave her hands perfect with no scarring. Closing her hand trying to capture some of the wind, wanting to touch her element that seems to be so far out of her reach yet so close at the same time. Taking a look at Diamond she moved close to him so that she was on her knees, resting her hands on either side of his face she smiled before turning to the side and placing a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you… brave knight.”



Falling back onto her butt as she looked up at Diamon her eyes half lid, her hand moved out taking a sword out of the ground resting it across her lap. “Do you think I am pretty? That nothing is wrong with me because I want to find love like our king has?” Her fingers hovering a bit away from the blade.
