Fa Sheng glanced around, gazing at Hatsue's face. She did seem rather tired... more exhausted then Fa Sheng had realized, in his excitement.

Sighing quietly, smiling wryly to himself, he held his hand out to Hatsue.
"Come," he suggested quietly. "I will bring you to your rooms. You need rest." He gave a small laugh. "I think that our kingdoms will sleep soundly from now on."

Afraid that Fa Sheng would send her back if she displeased him." He gazed at Kazumi, eyes brilliant. Suddenly he seemed again to be that sweet, clever young boy he had been when they first met. The boy he was underneath all the shielding and political intrigue he used to entertain himself. "Don't you see, Kazumi? He won't be alone anymore. He won't be alone when I die."
