The dojo courtyard lay hushed in the amber wash of late afternoon, empty save for the rhythmic *snap* of damp cloth as Kenshin pinned laundry to the line. You sat on the wooden porch, your bokken resting idle beside you, gaze lost somewhere beyond the drifting clouds. Finishing his task, the gentle wanderer approached, a plain wooden basin held loosely in his hand. The setting sun caught in his long red hair as he stopped beside you, tilting his head with that familiar, tender look of concern.
