021 [Action]
[It’d been a couple of weeks since Perona left. Found her letter to him apologizing about what had happened when they were possessed, found the key and the mold, and found Mihawk had left as well. He informed the village then. Keimi? Also gone; he had never really interacted with her, but he felt her loss as another piece of home slipping back to where it belonged.
The tide continued to draw out and their community was so small now, so fast. On top of everything else that had happened to him in the last few months, it ached, and he was so sick of aching and so tired.
Would he be last standing? Who knew. But wallowing did no one any good.
… it was time to start moving on. Or at least trying.]
[Sunday morning finds Law at the Memorial Garden planting white heather, and then to the Shrine. He’s not sure what to do here, really. He’s never been religious, just spiritual in his own way, and the traditions outside a wedding or a funeral or basically acting mannerly at a shrine are ones he’s unfamiliar with.
All the crows around the building are comforting, really.
Later in the morning, he hits the beach. It’s the closest to home he can get, and before he takes the Shinonome out for a few hours, he finds a log hauled up the sand and just sits. Watches the waves crash on shore.
Afternoon finds him at the Battle Dome training. Or more specifically, training by fighting with his eyes bandaged over. The safeties are only on for this session, normally Law does without, but he’s testing the limits of what he can perceive with his Haki. He swings by the Item Shop to pick up a Go board and everything that needs to go with it, and then heads home to set up with that and his Shogi board on the porch.
It’s time to coax some spirits over to play and try to work back into feeling comfortable with their presence. Games seem to work wonders, and soon House 22’s backyard is as spirit central as it ever gets, admittedly with not all those involved playing, but all involved commenting. And arguing. And teasing. And whatever else that floats their boat.
Through it all the wind blows leaves through the backyard. One remains stubbornly stuck to Law’s forehead. He seemingly pays it no mind as he plays on.]

QUICKLY BRINGING UP SLEEVE.]
AH-CHOO!

[As the leaf hangs off the bridge of his nose.]
no subject
[Itachi reaches over, carefully feeling for the leaf, and removes it from his partner's nose before it causes him to sneeze again.]
no subject
Then sighs a little with a wry smile as Itachi plucks the leaf off his nose.]
... yeah. It'll get there. Eventually.
no subject
[He brushes a hand along the hair at the base of Law's neck. He's accomplished a lot, really.]
no subject
They ship it. Sona insists that her and Tsinku is superior though.]... mmm. Think I'm being too hard on myself?
[Given Law is Law.
He's a special case for another reason, though, and both Itachi and Law know it. Devil Fruit powers and Haki are different systems from chakra. Balancing them without having them clash and disrupt each other is going to be a difficult process.]
no subject
[Bluntly.]
Sometimes it's necessary for improvement.
no subject
He's much stronger inside the barrier now than he was originally outside it when he arrived. He's still growing. He has no idea where he'll peak, what the endpoint is, and he wants to see if he can make it and push higher a little still.]
Won't argue with that.
no subject
Who's winning?
no subject
Fortune's not favoring Tsinku at this moment.]
Yeah. Right now it's me.
no subject
[That's still a success.]
