"Did he now," Ah. Genjo gave the most unamused of looks with that. His expression was flatlined as he wondered what other weird, embarrassing things about his past his master was going around and telling everyone. It felt strange having Koumyou around again, experiencing these weird little parental embarrassments after years of growing up without it.
At that moment, a cool breeze seemed to come in from outside. The overcast of the sky seemed to darken the already setting sun. Tiny rain droplets began to form on the deck as Koumyou looked up towards the sky.
"Tell me, Kouryuu. Do you know what it means to be a Sanzo Priest?"
"Of course, master. As a designated Sanzo, it's your sworn duty to guard one of the Founding Scriptures of Heaven and Earth, a job designated to the most devout and adept of monks. Those most attune to the world and heavens, and closest to the gods and realization of sunyata itself," The young Kouryuu hesitated with that, knowing better than to step over his boundaries, even as it left him questioning how the gods decide to leave it in the hands of a man such as his master. "It is a role designated by the gods themselves."
The older man could only laugh out at that. "Very good! Very good! But why the hesitant look, I wonder.."
It hurt to watch out. Genjo had seen it already earlier this week, from a much more painful perspective. But it still hurt to watch. Instead, turning to look over at Buttercup with purposeful distraction. "The person who named you, they must have left quite the impact for you to wish to keep it, no?"
