[ just a minute, and it's done. kara sets the bottle back down, closing his eyes for just a second before turning to the river. frankly he doesn't expect the tower will last very long once it's out there, but tsuru would appreciate the attempt either way.
so. time to pick up the lantern and slowly, very slowly, move it to the water. ]
she's gonna go ahead and leave that to him if he's the one taking care of it, and then once the lantern is set on the river, it'll just. gently start to float down the way. seems like it's being carried just fine
no subject
[that must have meant quite a lot to him. lili will then look over their tower and nod]
How did he...
It has to be carefully filled from the top, right?
no subject
but that sounds right so we'll go with that
so he'll pull a bottle of sake from the box (there is another bottle, just in case, but one should do), and begin pouring. ]
no subject
lili can at least watch and be glad that they're close enough to the water that it probably won't be hard to move the lantern over
hopefully.
but apparently while they fill their sake tower, she'll also have a small moment of silence for tsuru's spirit]

... it looks rather silly, doesn't it?
[to be honest]
I hope he likes it.
no subject
[ let's be real here ]
...But he'd like it.
[ but kara isn't openly sentimental and will only watch for a moment before turning to pick up the broken sword. ]
no subject
though she'll rise. her gaze lingers on the tower before glancing back to ookurikara]
Will you be keeping his sword with you?
no subject
...Yeah. I have to take him home.
no subject
she pauses]
Him?
no subject
Our master will want to see.
[ no explanation offered ]
no subject
... alright.
[she supposes the rest isn't for her to know, and it still feels a little too raw to ask]
Then we'll make sure that happens.
