krystalkatzficzSatoshi lounged in the bath with a cloth over face. Today had been what he would consider to have been a good day. A spark of happiness had appeared in Monroe’s eyes when they had told her that they had somebody that she might be able to test her cures on. She had excitably raced around her lab lighting Bunsen burners and showing them slides under a microscope. Everything that had been said was far beyond his understanding but it appeared that she had been working on something and that she was sure that would help until she could get her hands on him properly. The glint in her eye at that point had been almost terrifying but Sho had been incredibly happy and had promised to start a monthly fund for her experiments.
“More hot water, sir” His butler hummed coming into the room carrying a bronzed jug and he gave a smile shifting forward in the bath and allowing him to pour it down his back. He sighed happily with the pleasure of the hot water and then settled back down casting the man a smile as he said;
“Thank-you”
“You’re welcome, sir” The man bowed politely and bustled off out of the room allowing Satoshi to wash himself thoroughly before relaxing again. His secondary gift had been wrapped and already sent to the wall and he imagined that Nino would react badly to it. It wasn’t parcels of food this time but a book on the laws and more importantly the things that he wanted to change within the laws. He hoped that Nino would make suggestions on how they could make life for the outsiders better. He had his own view but he had never lived through it and what he thought they might need might possibly not be what was needed.
He brought his hand up to his face noting the wrinkles on his fingers and palm and decided that he should probably get out of the bath before he truly ended up like an old prune. He cleared his throat loudly and his butler returned carrying a dressing robe. It was probably one of the many things that he could do alone but the old man insisted on treating him like the master he thought him to be.
Gracefully Satoshi stood in the water and allowed the robe to be draped around him while he stared out into his grounds. They were truly beautiful at this time of the year and he wondered what Nino would think of them. He imagined that the young outsider would act like a scalded cat and he would be justifiably envious of the land that he had to waste. Not that it all went to waste, the flowers, trees, and ponds all contributed to the air that they breathed and a good section was taken over by farm lands but after the dirty grime covered streets Nino had been brought up in it would be a huge change for him. Pulling his gaze away from the view he walked from the bathroom into his bedroom come sitting area and dropped himself down into a wing back chair rivers of water moving down his face from his hair as Watanabe asked softly “Would you be wanting anything to drink sir?”
“Just water for me, thanks, but don’t let me stop you” He said smiling encouragingly to his butler as he was handed a glass of water. Watanabe gave a small smile and then poured himself a Whiskey and sat down in the chair opposite him. It was a familiarity that most people wouldn’t have allowed but Satoshi could never had been described as most people. Growing up he had spent more time below stairs with the servants than he had his own parents and all of them he loved with a burning passion. “At the end of this month I am hoping to have acquired a sponsored from beyond the wall”
“Indeed, sir” Watanabe told him in a soft way sounding as though it was the first he was hearing about it and Satoshi gave him a smile.
“Yes, he is going to help me bring about the changes…But first I need to make changes here, I’ve let things slip, I’ve become as bad as those I fight against”
“Never!” The old man growled with more force than Satoshi had ever heard him use before his amber eyes flashing “You are a good man, sir, the best master that any could ever hope for”
“Thank-you, it means a lot that you think so, Watanabe but I want to be better again. What is the point of having wealth if I can’t use it for good?”
“…As always, I will follow your lead, sir”

A/N: Hmm….I hope that this is okay ^_^
