Even though it isn't really, this story managed to strike me as EXACTLY how I would imagine a relationship between them might be. Maybe because it's written "samurai" style - efficient, judicious, effective, powerful, and skilled. (And without dialogue...) Great stuff.

Hiya! I just wanted to let you know that I loved this story!

Eloquent. And seen through Shichi's eyes is a bonus. Lovely use of descriptors.

Lovely, I enjoyed it. Effective in its simplicity. :-)

Very interesting, and lovely imagery!
