[The Citadel is huge, so it's a good thing they have all the time in the world to dick around.
--Well, no, they don't. But the point is, it's a free day. There will be absolutely no work done at all. Unless you want to or something. If you do, you're pretty weird.
The dojo is always open for sparring and practice. If there's any sparring errand you've slacked on, now's the chance to make up! The horse stables are also full of activity, whether the horses are being tended to or rode around-- be careful not to let them trample the fields, though, which is full of rice sprouts and budding cabbage. The lake in front of the saniwa(s)' room has tiny frogs jumping about, and you could catch them in the palm of your hand.
The kitchen is full of food, if you're volunteering to make lunch or have decided that meal time cannot possibly come any later and you simply must prepare something before you die from starvation. While there has been a considerable effort made to make the Citadel look as homely as possible to the swords which come from Japan's past, there's speckles of technology here and there.
The TV room is a good example, with a huge screen sitting on top of a few console systems. Don't break them, you'll only be getting this luxury once. Take turns and play nice. The swords may also find themselves tending the fields with water sprinklers and hoses instead of watering cans, for instance, or heating up some leftover pie in the fridge instead of making another one from scratch since there's technology to preserve food well over a week. The armory and smithy are definitely a little bit more modern than they'd be back in the past, though much is still made by hand-- nothing beats the fine work of a master. Perhaps you'll have a few new friends today, or you want to try creating a cute little soldier spirits todie for you accompany you in battle. Make sure they enter the orb completely, or else it'll turn brown and crack.
Or perhaps you're one of the unlucky swords still stuck in the repair room, sword body still being re-smelted and fixed. Hope the saniwa is good at making you all shiny. If you want to skip all that waiting, perhaps you can try to use a helper token... but they're all in the saniwa's room! Guess you've got to use that Camouflage stat...
But if you truly cannot bear with staying in the Citadel, the time device the saniwa(s) have isn't locked away. You can go on sorties or expeditions to fill your time with something productive.
Just a warning: don't change the past. You won't succeed.
...You could always try, though.]

But thankfully, it seems Horikawa has taken it upon himself to brighten her morning.
There is still warm miso soup waiting on a tray, right next to some steamed rice and a handful of gentle, yellow rolls of tamagoyaki. Koharu's blinks owlishly for a few seconds before struggling to sit up.
Whoever has left the breakfast for her is probably still around. And breakfast always tastes better with someone else.
It's a struggle to get dressed quickly, too many layers that require Koharu's attention but once she manages it, she picks up the tray and hurries out the door.
Time to say thank you. ]

[ It's always a treat to see his lovely master up and about. Horikawa pauses from watering the potted plants in the hallway in favor of properly facing his young mistress. He's smiling so happily, eager to hear Koharu's soothing voice to say his name.
But after noticing that she hasn't eaten the meal he's prepared yet, he has to wonder why that is. He's so sure that the meal is to her taste... Could it be that she doesn't have an appetite today? Could she... be falling ill!? He leans in a little, wanting to see if that was the case. ]
no subject
[ While her eyes still look rather sleepy, Koharu's smile is as bright as it can be this early in the morning. Horikawa seems to be busying himself as always, making breakfast, watering the flowers... Knowing him, he will most likely run off to find another task after finishing the current one. ]
Did you leave this for me?
[ She lifts the tray a little to show it and what it is carrying to him. The miso soup smells utterly delicious and her stomach growls a little in response. ]
no subject
Yes, I did. But is there something wrong? You haven't touched it...
[ Horikawa is used to labor, so he's pretty sure that he didn't do anything wrong. But it's still possible that something did. After all, there are many who stay in the citadel. One of the swords might have accidentally knocked an extra ingredient or two in the cooking pot... ]
no subject
No, I just wanted to-
[ She pauses momentarily. It didn't occur to her that he might not want to be around while she eats. But then she smiles again, expression hopeful and tone a little bashful. ]
...I was wondering if we could eat breakfast together?
no subject
[ Oh, my. Now what kind of sword won't be happy, after hearing an offer like that? Although some of the others are less vocal, or not very honest, it doesn't change the fact that they do enjoy the saniwa's company. Of course, Horikawa will never decline. His mistress's wish is his command.
So he bows properly, accepting her invitation with a rather excited expression. ]
Why, of course. I will always accompany you, Master!
no subject
It warms her heart. ]
Thank you, Horikawa-san, you are too kind. Shall we?
