Cold

it could be the first word you would have used to describe her, but now..

that veil of ice seems to melt little by little every day revealing a warm and comforting light

Her hands are delicate and every time they touch you they warm you from the inside, making you feel alive

You were the princess of Miyagi prefecture, a cadet daughter of one of the most important Shoguns in Japan, and it was your father who decided your destiny when you refused to become a priestess

He gave you in marriage to a Samurai who had done a rather dirty job for him, and at that point you couldn't refuse, but neither you nor your father could imagine that Mizu was actually..well, a woman

You found out on your first wedding night, but it wasn't a problem, on the contrary, sharing such a big secret brought you so close that your union became a real relationship

"The Lord has returned"

you hear a servant say, her voice accompanied by the gallop of your Samurai's horse, she had left three or two months ago for a mission, and now she is here again
