(D4, MM) Hearing the Words of Love (Event Observation)

[Shika Nesshin]

Khere stepped away from the poetry presentation, fiddling with her kimono, and clearly a bit roughened u by her own nerves as she looked around for a distraction, even if none jumped at her yet. [Quote or PM for a ambush on me ]

The ambush approaches, the moth being fled to other lights.

Nesshin bows. "It was a stirring performance...Utaku-san?" he says, recalling things vaguely from introductions earlier. "Shika Nesshin," he announces himself.

[Utaku Kheree]

"Thank you for this, Shika-sama, and this one is Utaku Kheree" she says a bit to loud for property looking if anyone would raise a issue there and with her presence and foreign name.

Nesshin smiles.

"I but call 'em as I hear 'em," he says, "and you did a fair sight better than I did." He shakes his head slightly.

"How've you enjoyed things so far?"

[Seppun Yuzu]

Having delivered her poem- Sakura moves away from the main gathering and stands, looking distinctly... unsatisfied.

"I guess it is the Lady Sun's blessings. These rainy days have covered her appearance and I just can't get things as right as I often do." Yuzu comments. trying to find a good reason to blame his poor performance, and asks, "Don't you miss some dry, cold days?"

[Usogawa Narumi]

I'm going to murder that Phoenix! ... I know where he sleeps!
If looks could kill, Raizo would surely be dead on the floor.
But her gaze flicked to the Crane of her dreams behind him and her expression warmed.
"Asahina-san! ... Shiba-san." A pointed glare at her sneaky little weasel of a friend.
"Well. That could've gone worse, neh?" While she still felt like an utter and complete failure, the taste of despair was a little less bitter.

[Shiba Raizo]

"Yep, you could have put in a performance like mine!"

Raizo's tone and demeanor were those of a man who had used his gunso's cherished letters from home as firelighter, and who therefore feared no Otter.

"Umm... I found it easier than I expected. Doji-sensei would usually have yelled at me within a few minutes. Shika-sama was real patient."

He looks to Narumi, "You doin' ok?" He, barely, remembers to lower his voice a little, "Um, Shiba-san thought you might be havin' an epi... episo...spell."

[Usogawa Narumi]

She narrowed her eyes at Raizo but tried her best to bury her feelings of shock and embarrassment at being ambushed. She offered him a polite smirk, a watered down version of what he was used to from her.
At Bo and his concern, her chest tied up in knots immediately and pressed her lips together in thought for a moment.
"Im sure you did just fine! As for me? No... No, I've just not had a good morning," it wasn't really a lie.

Ah, I see why the Scorpion so enjoy what they do...

"Perhaps I could see about snagging some refreshment while Asahina-san stands guard?"

And without waiting for a reply, he disengaged to take an inordinately long time finding some tea

"Awww that's too bad. Hope this afternoon can be better - we still on for the dojo?" As the Shiba makes his play Bo remains, unsurprisingly, oblivious.
