Character(s): Saitou and Kenshin
Content: Saitou leaves Aiches and goes to meet Kenshin.
Setting: Paixao Central Station, J6
Time: Late afternoon
Warnings: none yet~


Running away from the hospital was much easier than he had expected. Of course, the staff probably did not expect him to be walking around for at least two more weeks. It was also very convenient for him to have been placed in a room on the second floor. Jumping down from a greater height would have hurt his hips even more. He had sat down below his window for half an hour before walking again to recover from the pain. He is feeling much better after making his way across the city however. Having had to lie on a bed for days was just torture.

Leaning on one ornately decorated pillar of the Paixao Central Station, he exhales the smoke from his mouth languidly. The station is a pretty big place and they did not decide on any particular place or time of meeting. He had simply told the battousai to stay put, and knowing Kenshin, the redhead is probably staying put somewhere. Saitou would not admit it but the reason why he is not walking around looking for Kenshin is because he is tired.

He hasn't tried, but Saitou wonders when he can start really fighting properly again. With his legs being such a pain, he wouldn't be a very dangerous opponent at all. This is very worrying indeed.

It came as no surprise to the sharp rurouni when he heard Saitou's greeting, and he turned to face the one he was to meet. Once more a sense of the surrealism passed over him, but not so much now as it seemed he was going to have to become accustomed to seeing familiar faces.

"Saitou," Kenshin intoned in return, with a slight nod of his head in simple greeting. He fell silent, letting Saitou speak first, internally curious about what Saitou wanted to speak to him about, although he could certainly make some guesses.

That is simply too tense. Saitou raises one eyebrow slightly before turning away from Kenshin. Shifting his weight onto his left foot, Saitou reaches to his side pocket to get a cigarette, lighting one up and inhaling casually. There is something important that he needed to talk to Kenshin about, but that was not really what is first on his mind. He only wanted to meet a familiar face, really.

Kenshin doesn't seem to be on a casual mood however. Saitou exhales rather irritatedly, "The Tenken, Seta Soujirou, is alive." He meant it as a question rather than a statement. The Battousai has some explaining to do.
