The mandatory courtly art demonstration. Mitsuki vaguely knew this was something who had to take place – the Deer had Crane roots after all – but didn't really care, having just put up the appearance that was required of her, nothing more.

The only thing worthy of notice was the absence of Pei-Pei, a clear sign there was a political fire needing to be drowned urgently somewhere else in the city. Mitsuki couldn't think of anything less serious that would have had her miss on her obligations toward the miai.

Well, Deer problems weren't her problems.

The Kitsu nodded.

"Any idea what it's about?"
"No idea."

But given Seppun Yuzu's general attitude and Soyokaze's general level of emotional control, I'd bet a rather fiery young Crane and a rather arrogant Young Imperial rubbed each other the wrong way.

The Kitsu shrugged, and sighed.

This raises the Kitsu's eyebrow.

"Well I'll be. He must have pulled some serious strings to get that..."

Lady Amaterasu yawned, left her seat and went to check how her wine was doing.

...A while later, she returned, a clay cup of hot wine in hand, seeing if she had missed anything.

"...And that's why you're a good man Raizo-san, but I've gotta question you there."

She had not.

Yuzu is there, listening as any Miharu does, without anyone actually noticing they are. Meanwhile, he checks the other competitor's ikebana arrangements.

Though the event had taken a lot out of him it hadn't broken him and, while his results weren't great on their own, they seemed to be holding up in comparison. Apparently Ikebana was not going to be the in thing this season judging from the results here.

As such Bo lingered and mingled.
