“You were cruel to your wife…” Nino hummed almost nervously as he followed Ohno around the garden making sure to stay a few steps behind him as was meant to be polite. Ohno studied the flowers before him a few times taking off dead heads and stroking down petals before he turned to look at him with an unfathomable expression on his face his eyes probing his for a minute or two before his eyebrow rose and he asked;
“Why would you think that?”
“You…You have been ill…You…barely spoke to her my lord…” Nino stammered trying hard to sound polite while his mouth burned with a tightness as he suddenly remembered the feel of the blade against his throat.
“Hmmm…Not that it is any of your concern but my wife and I have an understanding…Ours was only a marriage of protection and I suppose you could call it friendship…” Ohno sighed offering up more information than Nino had deemed possible “She is free to find lovers and I am free to do the same if I would wish...Even the child she carried will only be mine by name…”
“It’s not your baby?” Nino couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He had never heard of such a thing before but he supposed that it was entirely possible that other lords or nobles had similar arrangements. It wasn’t as though there were many blood tests.
“It will be my heir…That is all I needed…” Ohno gave another shrug and then turned back to the flowers his eyebrows furrowing just a little. “The garden has been sorely neglected…When will my hand have healed sufficiently?”
“Um…I’m not…I mean…I’m not completely sure, my lord…” Nino answered honestly feeling nervous again as Ohno once more turned to face him “When you’re ready I will have to get you to do some exercises to help build up the muscles again...Um but…I think…The garden looks beautiful…Did you do this my lord? I would never have thought…”
“I bring so much ugliness to the world what is the harm in bringing some beauty back into it…” Ohno sighed looking down at his bandaged hand the fingers moving just a little under the bandages and Nino knew that the lord was going to tell him that he was ready to start training his hand now.
“You’re not ready yet, my lord…To train your hand…Only yesterday you opened the stitches again…” He told him quickly flushing at the scowl that formed quickly on the cheeks. A small part of him wanted to apologise and say that he could do whatever he liked but he also knew that doing too much now would just set him back in the long run. “…If you want full movement again, my lord, I suggest that you listen to me…You brought me here to be your healer after all…”
“Very well…I will defer to you on that…” Ohno grumbled reluctantly using his free hand to scrape back a loose strand of hair away from his eyes as he gave a pout looking around the garden a few times. “But as I cannot do it myself you shall have to help me…I have many flowers to plant…”
“…Then I think I can do that…” Nino nodded glad that the man wasn’t going to fight him. Ohno nodded sighing softly before looking up at the flowers again leaving Nino more confused than ever about the strange lord.

A/N: I hope this explains why Ohno is being the way he is with his wife…^_^
