gravity don't mean that much to me

Hattori watched his children rouse in excitement. The journey had been long and difficult on their young limbs, but it clearly wasn't enough to hold them back. Good, learning to push on beyond the tiredness was an important skill for a warrior to have. It was important to know one's limits, but it was a fine line to tread, to give enough but not too much. From the looks of it they all had life in them yet, there was no reason to fear they'd keel over from exhaustion. And as long as they stuck together Hattori assumed the girls would be able to keep Kuroki out of trouble. Most likely.

Having told the children all he wished to say for now, Hattori settled down in the stone courtyard. Perhaps he ought to make the most of the peace and quiet and compose a haiku, as he tended to do when he had time to himself.
