Long Time Reunion {Bailey/Tarlof}

''Not when we got together'' takeda chuckled. ''Remember how many times we got in trouble for pulling pranks. i think that the butcher remembers me.''

Bailey laughed and leaned a bit more on his shoulder. "Yes, those were some good times." She said as she walked. She trusted Takeda and felt safe walking the streets of the town. She froze for a second as she passed a Wanted poster for a criminal. "Sometimes, people don't understand how bad these streets can be." She almost whispered, not fully sure she wanted to remember those days.

''You know what,'' Takeda said suddenly, ''Why don't you deside what we do today. I have tabs open everywhere and I can afford anything. Where you go I'll follow. I'll buy anything you wish. What do you say?''

Bailey tried to rack her brain to find something to do, but came up with nothing. "I honestly don't know." Bailey turned to Takeda. "I can't think of anything but being with you right now." She gently reached out and touched the side of his face with a smile. "I haven't had much time to myself since moving back and am not sure of what to do around here anymore."

''Tea first then randome shopping,'' takeda said. ''don't worry about price''

Over the next few hours Takeda walked with Bailey. He bought her whatever she wanted, and did so with a smile.

It had been so long since Bailey had been pampered in any way. She smiled and couldn't help falling for Takeda as they walked around, stopping into different shops here and there. She only asked for a single thing. It was an old play mask that seemed out of place with the other antiques around it. She held it in her arms close to her side while they walked around the rest of the day. She didn't know if Takeda realized how it felt to her to have it, but she cherished it. "Want to head back to the house?" She asked as they left one of the shops.

''If that is what my lady doth wish,'' Takeda exclaimed with all his theatrical suave and a deep bow. 'I would lead you to the moon and stars beyond if you but asked, and your voice ringing in my ears would be my reward.''

Bailey blushed as she listened to Takeda speak to her. "Oh, you could talk like that anytime if all you request in return is a reply." She said as she kissed his cheek. "You really do know how to make me smile, don't you?"

Riuyn spots Bailey and Takeda. He quickly picks up pace to catch up to them. "Takeda this is for you" He hands Takeda a letter that was dropped off today."The children need clothes and things so I've come to ask you for permission to get some stuff if its ok. By the way that letter came from a hawk today."

takeda took the letter from ruiyn. When he saw the red wax seal with the white rose in it he stumbled back a step. ''thank you ruiyn.''
