In The Trees

She found me in the Berry Blossom grove, sitting on a smoothed stone.


"You knew I was coming."


I didn't bother turning around to address her.


"Of course. The blossoms flowered. I told you you'd return when they did."


She snorted.


"My coming back has nothing to do with the fucking trees."


I laughed.


"I never said there was a causation, just that there would be a coincidence."


She pulled her sword.


"I owe you the honor of facing your death on your feet."


"Remember that other thing I told you? About my ventriloquism studies?"


I jumped down onto her.
