(D11, MM) I said it with flowers (Event Observation)

[Kitsu Murato]

"Courting elegantly. Not overtly. The latter is shameful, and disrespectful to all other participants at this miai. We talked about this." He mentions, in a lower tone of voice. "I wouldn't, really, expect that from you."

"Precisely so. It is fortunate then that your expectations are being met as I've heard nobody speaking of any inelegant courtship from me," he says to the Seppun.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Precisely so. It is fortunate then that your expectations are being met as I've heard nobody speaking of any inelegant courtship from me," he says to the Seppun.

"I've heard differently, and I kindly request a clear testimony, since the duel that is about to happen today brings a similar topic into the light of Heavens, in which Kitsu-san should be aware of." He provides a bow to the Lion and asks, "We should talk one to one at your convenience later today."

He provides a bow to the Lion and asks, "We should talk one to one at your convenience later today."

"Unfortunately, there are no convenient times for me. I find myself busy with my duty given me by my clan at this miai. Perhaps you might speak with Shika observers instead and they can clarify whether or not I have been acting outside of their expectations for acceptable courtship behavior. Otherwise, we can schedule such a discussion after my duty here is complete and no longer requires my full attention."

He offers a respectful bow.

He offers a respectful bow.

"Well, when I thought being related would be easier to discuss, the cat shows its claws. Very well, Kitsu-san, May there be enmity between you and me from now on, since you insult me in such a way."

He provides a bow, "Expect a letter after the conclusion of the miai."

He provides a bow, "Expect a letter after the conclusion of the miai."

"You are the only one with enmity," he replied. "I only do my duty, as honor demands. I wonder how our ancestors would feel, with claims that me doing my duty is an insult to you. I offer my earliest convenience as you asked. A few days is not so long a time."

[Seppun Yuzu]

Yuzu's words were already out. There was nothing more to add. The Seppun waits for the Kitsu's explanation to finish and says, "May the Ancestors bless your Family."

Then, Yuzu walks to check other ikebana on the path.

[Kitsu Moshumaru]

Raizo sighed.

"I think you take the group association a lot more seriously than I do... which stands to reason, but, you know..."

The Kitsu catches himself, and bows in apology.

"Forgive me, I am not usually like this - I just... how do I say this...I have had terrible experiences with the Crane since I can remember."

[Agasha Inoshishi]

So I guess they'd put me with the Shinjo or Moto if I didn't keep trainin' with Daidoji-sensei."

Inoshishi nods, deep in thought, muttering allowed as she usually does. “Hmm, I suppose that makes sense. I suppose I could join the Ikoma bards, they already like me. And Ishioka is already a Lion. Hmm. Do you think the Lion have a navy?”

[Asahina Bo]

Inoshishi nods, deep in thought, muttering allowed as she usually does. “Hmm, I suppose that makes sense. I suppose I could join the Ikoma bards, they already like me. And Ishioka is already a Lion. Hmm. Do you think the Lion have a navy?”

"Already have a match in mind? Hope the Deer and fate feel the same. As for the Lion... I don't think so but I could be wrong. I mean they got some coast but they seem to like fightin' face to face too much for a real navy."

"Already have a match in mind? Hope the Deer and fate feel the same. As for the Lion... I don't think so but I could be wrong. I mean they got some coast but they seem to like fightin' face to face too much for a real navy."

“Do they not just put a board between the two boats? And then fight on land? Isn’t that what boarding is?” Momentarily distracted, she looks at Bo in confusion. Then back on task, whether he responds or not.

“But I was talking for the other clans. What would an Otter do in the Lion?”
