The sunset looks even better from the clouds [OPEN]

Tenshi was taking the rare day off for herself. Visiting areas of Hikari that he hadn't properly visited in years, and old friends. Her last stop of the evening was the visit to three of her children, ones that to this day she wished she reached sooner, wished she did a better job of being queen and protected her people. But these were such negative thoughts and she did not wish to visit with such a mood, they deserved to be remembered for who they were, rather than how they died.

Hovering a small distance from the graves, Tenshi watched as Hane spoke to them. She did not wish to interrupt, nor did she wish to impose, for she knew how he felt. He was the only survivor of the four. When Hane moved to the edge of the small island, Tenshi made her visit.. The island she made sure would house only these three, as this was where they often played as children, she felt as if they deserved such treatment, even if they themselves could not enjoy it. Tenshi did not speak, there was little for he to say, though she did lay a single kiss to the top of each headstone before moving to sit next to Hane. "I remember when you use to play as children here. Imagining what your futures as Angels will be like, I can still see the joy on each of your faces, still hear the laughter in the air."

Tenshi slightly chuckled at the reaction. Though she felt bad for ruining the peaceful atmosphere for the moment. "Hane, im your friend first and for most, please call me Tenshi. And you do not need permission to speak, nor must you feel as if you must be at my every beg and call. You are right, they are probably watching over us, but at the same time, I still believe they are here with us.. With you. And that will never go away." She returned her gaze to the falling sun, and basked in the beauty that she rarely got to enjoy properly, before re looking over to Hane when he once again spoke.

"My dear child, this here was all you, for your loyalty and friendship to them. And im sure they would rather watch as you carried on happy, rather than honouring their sacrifice. Don't you think?" Tenshi always wished that Hane would take a moment truly for himself, not with unhappy thoughts, nor during training. But an unguarded relaxful moment to be his true self again. Maybe she would have to be crafty and find a way for him to have that moment, if even for a second..

Tenshi rolled her eyes at the repeat o the formalities. She didn't know why she tried anymore, as it was always the same old song and dance between them. She knew why he felt as if he needed to do so, and she still felt as if he had done his part to help. All she wanted was for him to truly be happy. "There is more to happiness then just living. We ourselves shape it, and bring forth happiness in ways we may not know. Just like a birth, final moments, and memories that we would not change for anything."

She had to take a breath before answering that question. For things were not all peaceful, despite the blind illusion that it was, herself and Mo both knew something was hiding in the shadows thanks to the Outlaws, but neither could figure out what, and keeping it under wraps to others was the only path they could currently take, though they had several on the look out for such activity. "Honestly my dear child, not everything is in its most peaceful state. But even the queen needs days to forget her duty for a moment and find her own tranquillity before dealing with the affairs." She did not know what compelled her to tell Hane such a thing, but she knew she could trust him with absolutely anything.

Tenshi looked towards Hane and sighed. She knew it wasn't easy for him, and his views drastically changed that fateful day. Though she never stopped trying. But it wasn't just that, she did not wish for him to feel as if he needed to do anything for her, being able to save him was the greatest thing she could have done, so watching as he beat himself up on a regular basis was not what she wanted. Though she still does not know what to say to extinguish such thoughts. "Peace cannot last forever, no matter how hard we try. All we can do is protect those when the peace is lost."

Tenshi breathed in as the night air began to fill the atmosphere, this was always one of her favourite moments, when all seemed calm and anew. Which was ironic considering she was an Angel... Finding tranquillity in the darkness. "You know Hane, I would love for a meal with you. I haven't had your cooking in years. I would offer to help, but I believe all races know how that went the last time. But I will do what I can. As for what, a surprise may be in order.." She gave Hane a smile and stood, offering out a hand towards him. Against all the things she found the most relaxing, sometimes spending time with friends, even if its not particularly relaxing all the time, had always been her favourite thing to do. And it had been far too long since herself and Hane managed to spend such tie together.  

Tenshi couldn't help but let out a huge grin when Hane smiled himself. It was rare to see such a legit smile on his face, and she knew exactly what he was thinking about. She knew she was a terrible cook, but if it made Hane smile she would do so any day, and that was exactly what she was willing to do, even if that thought came after the want to cook. Hearing Hane offer to teach her of some techniques was one of the nicest feelings she had in a while, many of her kitchen staff didn't even allow her in the kitchen any more, so Hane offering to stand next to her during cooking was a big deal. And truly made her day. "I would love to help out, but if we are to do such a thing, I must ask you to treat me how you would a friend."

Tenshi followed Hane to the nearest temple, and stayed behind for a moment to bow towards the worshipping stone, and thank her for all she had done. If not for the Sun Goddess, Hane would not be here today, and for that Tenshi was forever grateful. Heading to the Kitchen quickly, Tenshi was enthusiastic to get cooking again, even if she was under constant supervision, and couldn't go near the stove. "What first?"

Tenshi let out an un-lady like laugh when Hane couldn't reach the tallest cupboard, she did not wish for it to seem mean, but it was a moment she couldn't not laugh at. Heading over to said cupboard Tenshi reached in to and gathered all herbs and spices she could find, as she knew not what was being made. She was grateful that Hane trusted her enough to make the starter herself, but after the last attempt, she didn't want to risk it. "Erm.. Mind helping, I'm willing to cook in my own kitchen, but in the temple ide rather not make a mess. Well unless you want ceiling soup..." Tenshi chuckled to herself, it wasn't the first time she caused soup to be served from the ceiling... and last time it took two weeks to remove it from the ceiling.

Making her way over to Hane, waiting for instructions. She tried to work out what he had in mind for food. Knowing he spent a dear amount of time practicing, it was difficult to think about what concoction he would come up with.  

Tenshi wasn't sure if she should laugh or not at the soap comment, it was only the once and she thought it was what she was meant to do. Its not her fault the vegetables tasted of soap when she served them, that and she thought the burnt crisp would take away the flavour. Taking the bowl over to wash them she kept an ear out to what Hane was saying. "Hmm... I didn't know the herbs went missing. I'll be sure to... Keep an eye out for the culprit" This time round Tenshi really did chuckle to herself. Her little purple friend must have been behind such a thing, she did remember one telling him to take what he needed. Even if her kitchen staff were not happy with the fact. "Im sure you will do a marvellous job with the flavourings."

Tenshi began to wash the vegetables by adding hot water over them, realising that not more was needed when doing so. Taking the bowl back over to Hane, she waited for the instructions on what to do. The last time she chopped up vegetables didn't end well, and the knife ended up stuck in the counter and the vegetables cut into peculiar shapes. She did has warned many that cooking was not her strong forte, and she would be better doing anything but. Even if the activity she enjoyed. Though she wished not to add any disaster she may cause, by being left to her own devises. "We'll just assume I have no idea what im doing... May cause less injuries that way."
