"Heard no, performed... no. I ah, admit I was something of a social inadequate when I was in my first few years of adulthood. It would not be unfair to say I have matured much as I have because of the serious nature of my duty."

He remembered some of his earlier failures such as

Love is like the rain
It falls upon the people
And everyone else


And shuddered.

Nesshin steps aside. He is clearly waiting for someone. He is also strangely stoic, especially for him.

He was curious how people would respond to his poem. Hearing poetry written by the dead about being dead, that revealed a calm nature to existence was likely not what the Shika had in mind when they asked for love poetry. But as far as he was concerned there was nothing more romantic than the idea of eternity.

He found a place to observe the other poetry.

Koi appeared behind the Deer with a small smile and whispered softly into the Deer's ear. "We need to talk, it's important. Find me later."

She waited for him to turn.

Update: Day 13. Koi is wearing a kimono in much higher quality, lilac in hues with green lunar moths and silver lanterns. She is wearing a jade green choker. She is wearing a katana that largely is peace tied, and at night has a very fine lantern. She is being followed at all times by a Shika Guard at a distances. She wears a fine wooden carved bracelet with the Moth Clan symbol on it.

Fujiko stepped away satisfied for once. Not for having done a good poem - she hadn't - but for feeling fine this morning. She noticed Murato, looking pensive.

"Greetings, Kitsu-sama." She bowed. "I must congratulate you on the beautiful showing you made. 'The eternal now', was it?"

It's not a long wait, at all. "Where and when?" he asks, a somewhat goofy grin appearing on his face.

"I am pleased you like it. Ikoma Saekaki was a master of the art, so I am indebted to him for providing me his great words," he says with a bow. "I'm glad to see you again Kaikoga-san. You are looking very well today. I am glad," he says, his smile one of relief that she was feeling better compared to yesterday.

"Oh, thank you. Yes, unsurprisingly, poetry is less exhausting than Kemari. A fact I'm grateful for. I have a feeling today is going to be a wonderful day."

"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?"
