It had been a while since anyone visited, but then again even Armin would be hard-pressed to deny that Pëllumb was, without a doubt, a bit of a shut-in. Yet at the same time he had a nigh insatiable wanderlust which had thus far taken him all across the planet. So after a few weeks of mostly lurking in his abode, he was finally driven stir-crazy enough to go out into the world and maybe even find someone with whom he could converse. Armin had informed him that it was a rather cloudy albeit slightly cool day today, and though Pëllumb would have been just fine walking out of the house without a jacket or any form of sun protection, his unflaggingly loyal manservant gently stopped him and guilt tripped him into changing. ”He gives me that sad puppy voice and frets about how disappointed Father and Ylli would be when they heard he had failed to protect me and I just can’t help but give in.” He grumbled to himself as he headed back upstairs to his closet to find a jacket. However, part way there a spiteful notion struck him, and his pace quickened, now more like a speed walk, into his room. About fifteen minutes later he reemerged, and descended the steps happily. Armin took a quick look at him and shook his head. ”Very well played, sir. Thank you for humoring this old servant.” ”Tsk. You know you are never to call yourself old as what does that make me? I know I have to humor you from time to time, you are the most constant feature of my life, it would be a shame for us to act catty towards each other. Now, are you going to let me cross the short distance to the park by myself, or must I dig a grave for my pride and have you escort me?” ”No my lord, you may travel as you please, of course. I do not have to promise not to follow, do I?” Pëllumb audibly sighed but a smile still graced his features, ”I will not require you make such a promise, though if I detect you you will owe me ice cream.” Armin merely handed him the solid white walking stick Pëllumb used more as a warning to others. He used echolocation to get around, but so long as he bore that international symbol of blindness, people would generally stay out of his way which just made everything so much easier.
With all of that taken care of, he strolled to the park with no problems whatsoever. He supposed it was the cold and gloom which kept people away today, but they were missing out in his opinion. The sounds of the city faded away, and all around him he could hear the sweet songs of birds, the chaotic shuffling of squirrels, and the wind caressing the leaves which shuddered at the chill. So enthralled was he by his surroundings that he forgot to keep clicking, and without the clicking he couldn’t picture his surroundings. Of this fact he was painfully reminded when he tripped on a paver and nearly fell. He was able to regain his balance and avoid crashing to the ground, but his house keys had been in a shallow fold in his attire, and he had heard them fall. Unfortunately, the grass muffled sound, and thus completely obscured the keys from the poor man. He ran his hands over the grass, hoping to feel the metal against the ground, but he had hardly any clue as to which direction they had fallen or how far they had been launched. If only a kindly soul would help him spot them.

Normally he would head home after finishing up a shift. But there was something just so special about days like this that people didn't usually appreciate. While it is cold and the sun isn't really making much of an appearance today, it is still nice outside in his opinion. So, instead of returning home to his dear, he found himself walking into the park. With his baby blue scarf wrapped around his neck, hair down, and cozy lavender sweater, he was mostly protected from the chill anyways. You could say that he is having one of his more “off” days. One where he just needed some alone time to gather his thoughts. Everything that has happened so far has felt like a whirlwind of chaos he can’t keep up with. He already has a new job, a new physical therapist(technically), a new home and a new life to live. It is scary, exciting and sometimes a little too overwhelming for him. It felt like just yesterday that he was sitting in his cell wondering what his son was doing while he painfully wasted away. Certain that it would be his only fate. "[[Life really likes to keep me on my toes.]]" He mutters as he makes his way towards a bench to sit.
He leans back against the bench and sighs, warm puffs of air drifting from his mouth as he crosses his arms over his chest. He could be home, cuddling with his husband under the guise of getting warm while drinking some tea. But he doesn’t want to cause worry for Daisuke because he is down in the dumps. He is truly happy. Just a tad bit overwhelmed right now.
He decides only to sit for at least half an hour just to enjoy the weather. Just a little while to tune out the unnecessary sounds and enjoy the cold. Yeah, that doesn’t last. Because in front of him, someone nearly trips, the scuffle grabbing his attention. He opens his eyes again and looks down at his feet, a set of keys glimmering in front of his boots. "Kagi?” He leans down and picks up the set before his gaze lifts and falls on the gentleman feeling along the grass. Considering the stick he has, the incubus would presume that the man wasn’t just feeling up the grass for fun. So he stands up from the bench and crouches down next to the visitor. ”Ano…” He clears his throat and reminds himself to start again in English this time. ”I think these keys are yours sir.”

 Saeki walked along the path to the park with Aki next to him, humming softly to himself. He was in an extremely good mood. The dog next to him seemed to pick up on their owner’s mood as well as he wagged his tail and barked every now and then. The young man didn’t bring a leash this time. After a while he had taught his companion to walk without one and listen when called, along with several simple commands. Aki had grown quite a bit over the weeks as well, as pups of larger breeds often do. He was no longer tiny, instead he reached up to just under Saeki’s knees. The canine barked again and ran ahead a bit, though not too far, and sniffed the foliage and benches along the way. He would mark a few places for himself and Saeki couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, he knew that Aki could start all over again next time. Many dogs did the same thing. The Asian went into the path that led to the grills, but Aki who was used to going to their secluded spot to meet Patrick and the kittens went the other path. "Aki, here boy!" Saeki called once he noticed. The dog looked up, ears perked and then ran after his owner along the other path. With this being a new area for them, his sniffing increased and they were quite slower than the swordsman now, but Saeki didn’t stop them. He knew he was a good dog and would not stray far. It didn’t take long to reach the area he was going to and the moment he got there he was met with the sight of his amazing boyfriend getting everything ready. A smile played over Saeki’s lips and he walked to them. Silently he moved behind them before he wrapped his arms around their waist and hugged them close. "Goodmorning my love." he said to the man still smiling happily. ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ [Pet : Aki]xxx[Profile: Link]

Oh my, he had been more disastrously lost than he realized! There was an actual person on the bench just a few steps away. Wow he really must have seemed like an airhead. His focus was on the grass around him and any sort of texture changes his fingers could perceive, but a slight metallic jangle near where the individual was sitting plus the very quiet utterance of “kagi” in a man’s voice told him his search was over. ”Hmm, now what language was that…?” He pondered as the masculine-voiced individual made his way over. The “ano” was what finally stirred his memory into recognizing the language he hadn’t used often in ages. ”Arigato,” he responded in a less-than-perfect accent. A quick click and he had an idea of where the man’s hand was. Trying not to excessively touch the man (cause that cold be very awkward) his fingertips quickly combed the man’s hand until they alighted upon a thin metal loop. With a delicate hand he raised the keys and returned them to a fold in his sash. ”Thank you, kind sir. I would have been out here for hours trying to find the darn thing.” Click. He straightened up then offered a hand to help the other man up. If the man ended up being a youth, it might seem odd to help him up, but he supposed it was polite no matter the age. With all of the ageless or long-lived individuals in the city it was hard to judge age, whether you could see or not, and so though someone might seem like they were in their early twenties, they could in fact be hundreds of years old. This man, however, did not sound as young as that to Pëllumb. No, he had a beautiful sultry voice with just enough husk to suggest experience, but just a little so as not to sound old. Such perfect modulation must have taken quite a lot of practice. Despite his reasonings, he still didn’t feel he had enough evidence to make a call on it. Click. Whether the hand was accepted or not, Pëllumb would wait for the man to stand before introducing himself. ”[[I am Pëllumb Gjoni. It is a pleasure to meet you.]]” He bowed immediately thereafter, as he had been taught back when he would sometimes winter in Tokyo. Click. A pause was given for the other man to respond, and once the floor was given to him once more, he continued. Click. ”[[I apologize for my accent and mistakes. It has been many time since I visited Japan. The only practice now is when oldest granddaughter asks me to translate…]]” Well crap, the internet was not even a distant thought yet and electricity was a rarity when he had last been in Japan. He had never gotten around to learning the more modern words and now he was regretting it. Click.”Ano…computer comments.” He might have been a bit behind the times when it came to technology…

He is a little surprised by the answer he receives in his native tongue. He was honestly not expecting it since the man does not look like he is from his country. "Dōitashimashite." He quietly replies, still a little caught off guard by it even though it really shouldn't be a surprise, as it is one of the easier words to memorize and there are foreigners that learn different languages. He remembers encountering a teenager once who knows more languages than Heisuke’s age. He is also pretty sure that “kid” is actually older than even him despite his young appearance. He moves his hand to meet the man’s halfway, keeping his palm open with the keys on top for ease of access. He doesn’t assist the man, as he can tell that he’s got it covered all on his own. "No problem." Because it truly wasn’t for him, as he was just sitting around doing nothing anyways.
It isn’t until he is offered a hand, that he realizes the position he got himself into. He crouched down in the cold while still trying to go through his physical therapy. Especially for his legs, which are the worst part of his recovery, as they got the worst of the curse. Not one to deny help when offered, he takes the hand and lifts himself up with a heavy sigh. "Thank you." He straightens up for a moment, just to end up bowing in return even though he is almost certain the man wouldn’t be able to actually see him. [["I am Akiyama, Heisuke. The pleasure is all mine."]] He raises his head and stands up straight again, letting the man continue. While he can tell that Japanese is not the man’s native language, he can still understand what he is saying fairly well. Seems like a success in his book.
Finally feeling like he is able to catch up mentally to everything, Heisuke is already offered one of his kind smiles and a chuckle. [["Please, no apologies. I understand you quite well. I can tell it isn’t your native language, but you still speak it rather well for someone who doesn’t get much practice.” He pauses to play with the ends of his scarf as he debates his next words. ”If it is easier for you, English is fine too. I am fluent in both after all.”

Oh good he hadn’t been rebuked for offering a hand, though judging by the heavy sigh he heard, perhaps the man would have found it quite difficult to stand back up on his own. Knee or joint problems, likely, with the cold damp weather worsening them. And true, he could not see the bow, but he heard the rustle of fabric and Akiyama-san’s voice seemed to come from someplace lower than it had just a second before. Click. He positively beamed when Akiyama-san said he spoke well, especially for someone who did not get much practice. It was one thing to think he could speak alright, but for a native speaker to compliment him? it was an honor indeed! He was going to thank him for the compliment, but something about the way the sentence had ended made him think that there might be something else coming. Click. Hmm, an offer to continue in English. It would be easier for him, but would it not make things harder for his gracious host? At the same time, it might come across as an insult if he didn’t take the offer. Oh geez he was overthinking things because he was that desperate to make a good impression. ”English it is then. It is still not my native or best language, but I have far more opportunities to practice.” Fat chance his new acquaintance spoke his native language but he could be wrong; who would have suspected the pallid little man to speak Japanese? Click. ”Would you care to stroll and chat, or perhaps we could return to your bench…oh, I suppose it is a bit presumptuous of me to assume you wish me to remain in your presence.” That was a sobering thought, but the old man was a touch desperate. ”Oh! I’m not interrupting anything, am I? I would be absolutely mortified if I made you late for an engagement…” He could see it now: Akiyama-san having to explain to someone that he was late because he “had to help some bumbling idiot find his keys, then said idiot wouldn’t stop talking.” How humiliating it would be! Click. Finally, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, shoving all of the frantic thoughts out of his mind. ”I apologize for my ramblings. It would seem I locked myself away to work so long I have forgotten how to socialize. I am generally more calm and proper, if that is believable.” Way to fail there.
