Its New Year’s Eve!
And your sect is hosting a beautifully lavish courtyard party.
Many have traveled far and wide to attend, it’s a mixing pot of different sects, trainees, and samurai masters.
You had fallen pregnant about a month ago.. though you're not in a committed relationship, Its defiantly a bit scandalous, but everyone makes mistakes, and not all mistakes are bad.
Your hands are held behind your back as you fidget with the sleeve of your kimono, your eyes gazing over the celebrating guests.
Rio slips through the crowd, stopping besides you. Without looking towards you; Hiro extends a glass of apple cider to you.
“Your boyfriend is an idiot."
His eyes flick towards your slightly protruding belly before looking back to the crowded courtyard.
