(D4, ME) Seeking Tranquility

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

He was quiet first a moment, pondering the questions. The answer that came to him wasn't what he expected, nor was his choice to sing it.


Loneliness
Fighting back again
Seems to be like it never ends
Give us hope through the love of peace
And shine on me

Endless rain falling heavily
In a world where I have forgotten how to smile
Another mile more, I watch it pass me by

Under the pressure
Separating the make-believe
Like a rose, I bear a wilting heart

In the storm caught up in the wake
Like a flower among the waves
Lead the way
While overcoming the tempest

Every step strengthens your resolve
On this earth, parched and void of hope
Go ahead, and take another new step forward

[Hato]

Hato listened quietly while the Fox sang his favorite song.

Once he was finished, she allowed the air to be still for a moment, before offering quiet applause.

"A splinter of hope in an uncaring world. This one can see why it resonates so well with Lord Fox." she offered.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"It's important to hold onto hope." he nodded. "I don't think the universe is that harsh or bleak, but there are certainly times when it feels that way."

[Hato]

"It's important to hold onto hope." he nodded. "I don't think the universe is that harsh or bleak, but there are certainly times when it feels that way."

Hato smiled gently.

"Lord Fox must have been exceptionally good in his previous lives to be in such a place. One can only hope that his acts in this life will see him to even greater heights in the next." she offered.

Hato looked up at the stars, considering the lives that had come before and the lives that would come after.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"I don't know about that. I like to think I might have been a fox or a monkey, or even a raven." He seemed wistful. "Regardless, I always imagine I got into trouble."

[Hato]

"I don't know about that. I like to think I might have been a fox or a monkey, or even a raven." He seemed wistful. "Regardless, I always imagine I got into trouble."

A small shrug.

"What mortal can know the will of the Heavens? Perhaps you were just the pinnacle of being a monkey in a previous life." she offered with a soft smile.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"Hopefully I can rise to those heights again." he grinned. "I'm curious, Hato-san, have you sung before an audience before?"

[Hato]

"Hopefully I can rise to those heights again." he grinned. "I'm curious, Hato-san, have you sung before an audience before?"

Hao looks back down at Lord Fox.

"Of no more than two, most typically Lord Fox. One is even more common." she admits.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"Then I am honored to be among those lucky few. Do you have any interest in performing for others?"

[Hato]

"Then I am honored to be among those lucky few. Do you have any interest in performing for others?"

Hato looked back to the stars.

"Lord Fox is too generous with his praise." she demurred. "This one is not meant to walk Lord Fox's path high among the stars. It would be as ridiculous as putting a frog in a birdcage, though both may sing their songs at night."

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"Both share their songs with the world and neither should be caged." he shrugged. "But, every performer has their preferred stage. Do you have other interests?"

[Hato]

"Both share their songs with the world and neither should be caged." he shrugged. "But, every performer has their preferred stage. Do you have other interests?"

Hato nods.

"This one is quite skilled as a computer programmer should Lord Fox have needs in such fashion, though this one has been quite busy with the season upon us, this one is always open to new opportunities." she admitted.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"I can't think of a need at the moment." He pondered the possibilities. "That is a useful skill, though. I will certainly keep you in mind."

[Hato]

"I can't think of a need at the moment." He pondered the possibilities. "That is a useful skill, though. I will certainly keep you in mind."

Hato nodded.

"This one could share her communicator details with Lord Fox in case he thinks of a need." she offer, fishing out a battered and outdated communicator.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"I would appreciate that." He nodded as he took out his communicator. "If you come across anything that you think would interest me, don't hesitate to contact me."

[Hato]

"I would appreciate that." He nodded as he took out his communicator. "If you come across anything that you think would interest me, don't hesitate to contact me."

Hato smiles a bit.

"Of course, Lord Fox. Is there.....anything this one should keep an eye out for especially? This one does not possess a deep understanding of what Lord Fox is interested in." she offered.

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

"For me it would be anything unusual regarding the animals of this world." he said. "But, my clan does have Kitsune Biopharmaceuticals here and I would be curious about anything notable in their regard."
