"Well then, how about this. Every time you show me a painting, I will give it a scathing review, then you can be confident that it is a great piece," he smiles at that.

"Hey, now, you have to give good reviews some of the time!" She mock pouted.

He frowned slightly, not sure what to think of what she was telling him. "Should you be drinking then?" he asked, looking down at his empty cup, he was going to be subtle about getting her to refill his for him, but now he wasn't so sure that was best. He was honestly even more touched than before ...

Slight quirk of the lip. "As you say." He drank deep and filled her cup, leaving his owm with the three dancing foxes on it near the bottle. "That sounds like something important to your people, rest? Dreams?" She nodded in thanks as he filled her cup and drank some more. "Well, my clan seeks omens...

He also sipped as she spoke, and gave her a lopsided smile. "That sounds like other clan's problems, not yours." She smiled back. "True enough.

"Well, you've managed to brighten my day, so I get the same feeling," he said with a nod. "So you are a painter? Have you brought or done any pieces since arriving that I'll get the opportunity to observe?" She thought back to this morning, and the omen she painted. "None that I would care to show,...

"Kampai!" Hikimasu help up his cup toward Fujiko. They'd walked from the theater under umbrellas, talking about the show more or less the entire way. He was entertained, the conversation was good. Now they were at Uguisu's Song though, and he put in an order, trying to keep the mood going. He found...
