[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.]

nakigitsune himself is unperturbed, though he does curiously glance at the cover as he's passing it over.]
Are you having trouble concentrating today? Are you reading something particularly interesting?
no subject
he huffs at the fox, though, rolling his eyes. ] Only because I've been driven to being dangerous today.
[ so that's a yes to the first question, at least. he takes the book back, curling his hands over it and letting it rest in his lap. ] .. It's just a fantasy novel. Nothing exciting. But everyone's been underfoot today, too.
no subject
Everyone must really like you, to be bothering you all day! [That's a good explanation, right?]
no subject
the response has his ears heating, the blush creeping slowly over his cheekbones. he doesn't really know if they like him, honestly. it's kind of embarrassing, kind of flattering, to think that they do. that the loyalty isn't just.. obligatory. but then, haru's fully aware of his failings and flaws, so he's not sure if he should get his hopes up too much.
he clears his throat, then slides out of the tree, dropping lightly to his feet in the grass. ] Um. Well.. I don't know about that. I think some of the others are just.. bored. [ he hugs his book to his chest, taking a breath and glancing back up. (haru.. is not a tall teenager. he's actually kind of scrawny, the top of his head just over five feet. ... it makes it very hard to look dignified and impressive when most of his blades tower over him.) ] What were you guys coming out here for, anyway?
no subject
but ah, tiny saniwa....as a sword-person of middling height, rather than a sword of...sword height(?), it feels kind of weird to be looking down at his owner. Sword problems. that and the "like" conversation and master's blushing and the questioning about his being out here in the first place is all starting to make him feel awkward, to be honest--a feeling he counteracts by doing the fox hands again. of course.
the actual fox, meanwhile, shows nothing resembling awkwardness at all.] Nakigitsune also comes here to escape people sometimes! It's generally quite peaceful.
no subject
[ not to mention unnecessary. haru's doubts about that sort of thing are incredibly trivial compared to the weight of what they're trying to accomplish.
the comment distracts him from those thoughts, though, and he glances back up at nakigitsune again, pale eyes warming fondly. ] Is that so? Some of the others can be a little overwhelming sometimes, can't they? I'm sorry, I guess I've intruded on your spot, then.
no subject
Oh no, you're welcome to come here whenever you like! You're our master, after all! If anything, we should be the ones apologizing to you! [the fox speaks out emphatically, as if this is something that needed extra emphasis...which...maybe it does?]
no subject
[ he shifts to scratch the fox's chin. ]
No offense to Fox-kun and his translating, but I hope one day you'll feel comfortable enough to talk to us yourself, Naki-san.
no subject
with the fox suddenly too distracted by scritches to speak for him ("aaah yes, right there!" and so on), naki finds himself...staring at his feet.]
...........Thank you.
