the path of the wind

Though Kiriko was nervous, the excitement was hard to hold back as well. Though she hadn't exactly asked Hattori, he'd accepted her closeness without complaint. He allowed her to curl up beside him, he'd allowed her to stay in his den instead of banishing her back to her own. He'd been receptive enough to get her into this situation-- takes two to tango, after all. Still, that alone wouldn't prevent her nerves entirely. Kiriko was better off when she was busy, so busy she would be. Tea prepared, ready and waiting. Bed made. Den spotless. It wasn't long before he arrived.

Hattori settled, and the red woman passed him a cup of tea. Searching for the right words, putting them together in her head. Though she'd planned on what she'd say, why did the words seem to stick in her throat? Taking a sip of her own tea and fixing Hattori with a soft (albeit nervous) look, Kiriko took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm sorry to pull you away in the middle of the day," she begins, trying to steady her voice. The words feel... formal. Taking a moment to steady herself before delivering the news, allowing a more demure expression to take its place. Better. Soft, demure, open-- that should do it.

"It shouldn't have been possible given the season, but... I'm pregnant, Hattori." Kiriko offered a gentle, hopeful smile. Looking up at him, near shy at the admission. For someone who tended to understand the ways of men, he was still an enigma. All she could do now? Hope for the best.
