“Dango?” she tilted her head to the side as she was offered those sweet delicacy. Chizuru felt her cheeks heat up as her childhood friend seemed to have visited just for her sake.
“A-ah! of course, just let me finish here a second, you can show up to hijikata-san first too while i prepare the tea and dangos for you.“ she stated as she took the dango sticks from him so she could at least put it in a plate and make some tea.
“That would be lovely. Thank you.” He left the dango to her and watched after her for a few moments before going to tend to his business with the commander. Once he was done, as promised, he came back around to where he had found Chizuru previously, gaze swinging about to see if he could see her. She didn’t appear to be here yet, but that was alright. He had time – well, as long as the captains didn’t show up (mostly Souji).
As soon he had left to head towards the commander’s office, Chizuru had finished her task on sweeping the dried leaves on the courtyard, later she will make a bonfire with it to help give warmth for them during the cold breeze of autumn. She then went to venture towards the kitchen halls to grab a small plate and also heat up some tea for the visitor. After a minute or so, the young page returned to their meeting spot, chizuru’s hand was carrying a try filled with the dango’s iba had bought and also a tea pot and tea cups for them.
“Iba-san, sorry for taking so long. “ She mumbled as she walked ever gently, careful not to drop the things that she was carrying, before settling it down to the tatami floor. “a-ah! please have a sit iba-san, you are our guest here” Chizuru beamed happily towards the brown haired samurai.
