Kyuden Shika

*adds fire* If only, time zones. I liked Shizuka and in particular I loved hearing Raizo talk about her like she was crazy but finding her to be quite reasonable and lovely himself. Curious if she had such drastically differences in personality between the two or if their views of her were just sim...

Fire away!

"Right?!" The Moshi's tone began to pick up a bit of fire to it. For once, even for a little, Shizuka did not act as she normally did: as a priestess aping an oiran's mannerisms...or perhaps the other way around...? She frowned a little. "To shut out the world just because the light that gets stared...

"Did he now?" Perhaps Shizuka didn't quite get the innuendo. Unlike, given how saucily she behaved, what with that smoldering look she always her to her eyes. "I'd heard stories, of course, of Lord Ikoma..." She started, slowly, "I understand he was a tremendous lover." A pause. Tension. A narrowing...

It is the rock upon which we stand, our arms and voices raised towards our Lady, so that she might shine down on us." "But the light that reveals and warms us can be blinding, too." This part ...

"Why choose only one?" Shizuka asked temptingly, picking up the tea pot and pouring for the both of them. "There are plenty of choices enough in this world where you have to leave behind one thing for another. After-dinner drinks aren't one of them, neh?"

"Oh?" Shizuka asked, her surprised tone genuine. She didn't sounds like she was disapproving of such things - odd, given how traditionally the Moshi were reputed to be and how Shizuka herself normally went about, but still... "I...well, erm. Really? Is that so? Tell me more, Kitsuki-san."

Which Shizuka does. She eats with surprising gusto: no restrained consumption like her clerical professional would suggest nor dainty degustation like, say, a proper maiden would do as popularized by the Crane. I mean, it wasn't messy or rude, but girl came to eat so that's what she's doing. "This i...
