Small instance of self harm

(U) prospective

As I'm walking threw the streets of clareness on an errand for the prince to pick up some supplies from the local archery range where the prince has had a dozen bows and 4 dozen arrows made I hear the whispers starting up everywhere I go it's like this they see it and stair utterly unashamed as they do and then whisper to another person who then too looks at me and the whisper spreads like wild fire in a field of long dead shrub threw the crowd of towns folk there eyes boring into me from every angle woman men nobles the elderly children anyone and everyone walking about stops to stair with judging or pitying eyes some scoff seeing my identification and some gasp from the shock of seeing that the rumor of an Ex assassin working for there beloved second prince is true the crest burned into the skin of my neck and the official clareness identification jangling around my neck pretty much gives it away i sigh in relief as I enter the archery craftsmen shop and he's eyes flicker from his work up to me completely glancing over my tattoo not even sparing it a moment before he smiles "nice to see you agin" he says and I smile a small polite smile bowing my head "you as well iv just come to collect the princes equipment" I say walking towards the retired professional archer apparently he was the best in the castle before he left I would have enjoyed seeing his skill "ah yes I got most everything done but you will notice there are a few arrows missing from the 4th quiver I'm working on them right now if you'll wait a moment the archer says and my eyes glance around the store only a few people and when I make eye contact with one he immediately stops staring and hurriedly goes back to looking at the bow he was pondering over "sure I can wait" I nod

Still (u) prospective

"Thank you very much sir here's your payment the prince sends his thanks as well he wanted to come personally but he's to his head in paper work" I tell the archer as he helps me slip the bows 6 on each arm nearly my hight with 2 quivers around each shoulder "my you were the only one the prince sent? Wouldn't you like some help? A young lady like yourself is plenty capable I'm certain but I still worry they do become quite heavy I can send one of my sons with you?" The archer tells me but I smile shaking my head "I'm alright really the castle isn't too far from here thank you for your concern" I say and the archer nods walking me to the door opening it for me and he waves as I walk down the street and i hall the equipment back to the castle with much struggle and tho every passer by stops to watch the comical performance of a princes aide tripping over tips and ends of bows no one offers to help they just watch with gaped mouths tho no words escape them apart from a small child a boy with brown hair no more than 4 who looks me in the eye unlike most adult men who avoid my gaze and his eyes are full of life and pure curiosity causing me to stop and stair back despite the countless spiteful eyes lying on me and he points towards me tugging on his mothers dress as she's looking at some necklaces in a store window "what is it Shu?" His mother questions looking down at the small boy then she sees his small hand outstretched and follows the tip of his finger to me and as her eyes trail from my feet to my head her eyes go no further than the base of my neck her eyes widen seeing the assassins crest burned into my skin and she quickly picks her child up brining him into the store slamming the door behind her before she starts to scold him my mouth opens and my hand reaches out attempting to open the door so that I can explain that the boy did nothing wrong but a man glaring at me stands in my way crossing his arms he stands much taller than me and scowls with hate filled eyes "we don't need any trouble from you hurry on and go back to your master" the man sneers and my eyes widen in fury but that's all I allow I stair up at him for a few tense moments before I take a deep breath and proceed to walk back to the castle bows arrows and glossy eyes

A knock sounds from the door of zen's office and zen asks for a tittle "it's (u) lord prince" (u) says threw the door "ah come in" zen says and the door opens with (u) walking in "how did it go? Did you get everything?" Zen asks "yes" (u) nods with a shadow covering her eyes and I look at her confused normally (u)s pretty talkative and upbeat "grate then down to business!" Zen smiles "how about you join us for dinner?" Zen asks (u) and her eyes widen a bit as she looks up the shadow no longer covering her eyes but there's a shiny glimmer to them not quite tears more like she's trying not to tear up "dinner? With you all?" (u) questions "it was Shiriuki's idea she thought it would be nice to get everyone together for a meal" zen says and I grin but when I look at (u) only for a split second do I see her lightless eyes but she quickly catches my eyes that've landed on hers and she smiles brightly covering up what ever she let slip "that would be wonderful really... but I can't" (u) says "really? Why?" Zen asks and I intensely look at (u) but she chooses to ignore my gaze despite the fact that she knows I'm looking at her given away by the hairs standing up on the back of her neck "I'm training tonight it's my usual Friday night ritual" (u) laughs smiling as she scratches the back of her neck and my eye brow twitches at the obvious lie (u) has a tendency to scratch the back of her neck when she lies and I know for a fact that (u) doesn't have annual Friday night training just last Friday night I found her star gazing on the roof and the Friday before that she was visiting Ryuu "we'll that's too bad I'd hoped we could all share a meal" zen sighs in disappointment but Im set on finding out what's going on with (u) "oh come on (u)! You gotta join us! It'll be fun! And you can train after words! I'll even train with you if you want!" I grin and (u)s lip quivers for a split second before smiling apologetically "I really do wish I could Obi but you know I can't train after a big meal" (u) says her voice cracking but she masks it with a laugh "But you fought me after lunch yesterday?" Mitsuhdeay says and (u) let's out a whimper of a breath being caught in her lie "well... yeah... I guess it wouldn't hurt but I'll have to eat light... don't wanna eat too much or I could puke it back up" (u) laughs but her laughs laced with pain and her hand that she's hidden behind her back trembles "ew... but yay! I'll have a maid come fetch you later" zen says "oh don't worry about that master i can do that my rooms right next to (u)s it's no problem! Leave it to me!" I grin and in the corner of my eyes I see (u) blinking away tears
