He topped hers off as well and sipped. "Well, they're low hanging fruit, those Lion. Kami bless them", he chuckled, then unconsciously his gaze settled on her. And after too many quiet moments he remembered he's a creep no matter how good of a time he's having and looked away. Fujiko noticed Hikima...

Oh "Oh..." He sipped his sake. "I haven't read many books a lion would put their name on for that reason." He held his cup out to the Moth. "To avoiding literary traps." Fujiko topped Hikimasu's offered cup and filled her own as well before answering. "I wish I had the strength to do the same, but ...

He listened, but didn't agree. Though everyone has their own reasons. "I like bittersweet stories, I suppose. Not all of those situations end horribly, I remember another story called This Winter Never Ends and though the protagonist loved another character, and had their love returned in a well wr...

"Shakuhachi for now, but I've figured out the shamisen in the past", he offered. Though he wasn't interested in talking about that because of her other statement. "What's wrong with love triangles?" He asked. Honestly with the way you imagine couples, I would think it would be a favorite. "Well, as...

He nodded his head at her pour and took up the cup again. "I take care of my horse, Yudaina-san, and I have some ability with music, dance, acting", he said. He had skills as s bushi as well, but she asked about hobbies, not duty. Though he supposed Yudaina counted as duty too, but he was a friend....
