Have You Ever Seen The Rain

The Empress leaned against her Husband and Shogun as he appeared at her side and sat close. She maybe glanced proudly towards Kuroki as he settled his present and quietly took his place. She wasn’t sure she had ever seen him behave so well, but she was so grateful he realized his sister deserved the courtesy. Venom greeted Kiyo with a similar nod in return and caught a glance of the other guests as they arrived. This would turn out to mostly be a family affair, though she sorely missed Kit and Take’s presence, she was glad for the turnout to support her daughter.

Venom relaxed against Hattori’s side as the performance of a lifetime began. All part were played to perfection, and the addition of the heavy rain added to the experience. She gave many proud looked towards both Ikigai and Hattori as the performance went on. Venom knew her children were talented but her daughter performed at the level far exceeding any adult here. She was absolutely amazing, and Venom wasn’t sure she had ever felt more love for the talented girl. She really was everything that Venom hoped she wold become and more. A perfect child born from her loins.

A great sorrow blossomed from her chest as the songs ended and tears welled in her sunset gaze. Ikigai was amazing, better than she could have imagined. Venom applauded the loudest, and her grin beamed as she looked upon her accomplished child.
