As he passes Narumi on the way in he gives her a big, comforting smile, "I'm sure you did great! Wish me luck... I'm gonna need it!" One hand absently plays with the pendant, and its prayers, around his neck.
Ignoring the knot ever tightening in his stomach Bo steels his resolve, his brow furrowing, as he prepares to present his poem.
Whether it was the Fortunes honoring his Compassion with the luck he needed, or just pure dumb chance, it seems that Bo's random choice of a poem was one beloved by Pei Pei and, while he is no poet or performer, he manages it adequately enough not to offend the benefit of the doubt that selection had extended to him. It seemed that the fates were on the big lug's side once again.
His hands slightly shaking with the nervous pressure of it all he manages to time his huge sigh of relief for when Pei Pei, and anyone else, is occupied elsewhere.
