(D1, MM) Formal Welcome (Event Observation)

[Doji Oharu]

Watching the gift giving ceremony with the usual calm of the Crane, Oharu's eyes narrow at the presentation of the young Asahina.

Slowly, he turns and limps his way out of the hall.

[Kakita Reina]

Kakita Reina, on the other hand, finds the presentation fascinating, and moves to examine the statues more closely one the servants have them in place.

[Shiba Raizo]

Oubaihime smiled as the Shiba was starting to loosen. "Hai Taisa sama." She gave a salute. "What is your command?"

He leaned in to whisper.

"Help me get through this alive."

[Susaki Tanabe]

"Did I do ok?" She asked her friend quietly, looking around to see how others were doing.

Tanabe smiled down to his charge and nodded his head "much better than me. Plus your gift was outta this world." He said making an effort to keep a straight face at the small pun.

[Usogawa Emiko]

Tanabe smiled down to his charge and nodded his head "much better than me. Plus your gift was outta this world." He said making an effort to keep a straight face at the small pun.

Emiko brought a hand up to cover a giggle.

"That was awful!"

She shook her head.

"Ah, thank you. That helped though. Your gift was lovely also, I'm certain Shika-sama will enjoy it."

[Kitsu Murato]

"It is a show of prowess as much a gift that represents the shared respect for the spear I imagine. I traveled here with her and she is a ver sincere woman," he said with a nod. "I think the gift suits her."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

He leaned in to whisper.

"Help me get through this alive."

The Kaito slowly blinked and nodded. "Do not worry Taisa sama..." She smiled. "Just thread carefully. Do not let fear overtake you. This may be an unexplored territory for you but you got this." She gave the man a pep talk. "If you need me... I am here for you."

[Shiba Raizo]

The Kaito slowly blinked and nodded. "Do not worry Taisa sama..." She smiled. "Just thread carefully. Do not let fear overtake you. This may be an unexplored territory for you but you got this." She gave the man a pep talk. "If you need me... I am here for you."

"Careful, I might end up following you around like a rather large and unsightly puppy, and then how will you find a good match?"

[Agasha Inoshishi]

Freshly finished with giving her gift, Inoshishi, face red yet again as she realizes how many have seen her enthusiasm, looks undecided about where to stand, looking for a friendly, or at least familiar face.

Her courtly clothes do much to conceal her thin frame and the kanji swirling over her outfit lends itself to her currently-red complexion, changing her from a flustered young woman into an intriguingly sultry picture. Clearly, whoever commissioned this robe knew Inoshishi and her foibles well.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Careful, I might end up following you around like a rather large and unsightly puppy, and then how will you find a good match?"

She giggled. "Anoo... a Scorpion told me to get a Yojimbo... You following this one like a puppy probably will be seen as a bodyguard rather than a suitor."
