Finally, time off work. It had taken ages to get approved for three weeks leave, but now Yokeda had plenty of time to study new things. But right now, he wanted to just think about everything that has been going on.
He made his way through the city to the garden that was, in his mind, the only spot of beauty in this city. Yokeda went, deciding to simply bring a book that he had acquired from a short stay in serendipity. He arrived at the garden, without any armor on, merely a light grey cloak, thick boots, a padded shirt, and wool pants.
He gazed around, and sighed contently, breathing in the crisp air and savoring every part of the garden, from the flowers to even the dirt. This was his favorite place in Connlaoth to just come and think or read. As he walked into the garden, Yokeda became aware that there was someone asleep in the garden, in front of a grave. He nearly passed it off as a random mourner, until he saw the platinum hair. He recognized it from the time he had served in the military and he had only ever seen one person with that color hair. It was Hakon Kilandre, leader of the Ansgar's Hand unit. Who was she mourning?
Yokeda decided it would be best not to bother her, and laid down on a large rock and opened his book and began reading about the history of sendipity's culture and how the nation got to where it was today. It was fascinating to him, but he couldn't get his mind off of Major Kilandre, what had caused her to fall asleep at a grave?
