The Nature Trail: Cat and Kenshin, before the day of meeting Stefan and Sayuri
Festivals were not new to Kenshin, and he had traveled to many a land and seen all different sorts and for all different reasons. It was always fascinating to him, to take some small part, even just simple observance. The different customs and celebrations were enough to capture his interest, and it was always nice to see so many people gathered together to celebrate happy tidings. Most of the time, anyhow.
He was never far from Sayuri for her own safety, but the vampire did need to take time alone with his thoughts from time to time. His teacher had always said he looked so serious when he was deep in thought, as though the weight of the world were on his shoulders. And so Kenshin would appear, walking the trail in the traditional garb Sayuri liked him to wear with his katana ever at his side. It was a lovely display to be sure, but his mind was still troubled over his mistress' continued troubles with her former husband. He could not disobey her, and yet to simply let the werewolf continue his attempts on her life was not something he could allow either. It was growing ever clearer to him that he would have to disobey Sayuri in order to keep her safe.
