[D5, EE: Spare Room] Session One (Closed)

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"That was actually the reason i arranged this, please do", he told her and started resetting the spare room.

[Usogawa Emiko]

Emiko nodded, and waited for Hikimasu to turn away before quickly taking out her violin from the box and setting up to play a quite nice sounding song on it.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

And he took his time to enjoy the tune. He had a keen feeling then, maybe he could try something, say something, it stirred him quite a bit, but when he was through and the song came to an end he had to shake off his staring again.

"Usogawa-san, that was wonderful. A heartfelt a tune as one can hear, I'm surprised I've never heard it before."

[Usogawa Emiko]

Emiko bowed deeply.

"It's the first song I ever heard played on a vi-oh-lin, at a campfire. I'll never forget it, the woman holding the instrument looked so peaceful as she played, and a tear ran down her eye as she did so. I don't know what the song meant to her, but it's always remained in my heart."

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"I'm lucky you have cared for it as much then", he said, clearly feeling fortunate for the moment. "Well, clean up, and perhaps one day you could show me more of your memories with the vai-o-linu." He held up the case for her to put it away. "Let's be off then."

[Usogawa Emiko]

Emiko giggled.

"It's such a hard word to say isn't it?"

She nodded, packing her violin up then picking up the box and waiting for him.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"Keep saying it, I'll catch on."

He was ready, and followed her out the door, ready to see her back to the inn.

[Usogawa Emiko]

"I'm not sure it will, unless people become more accepting of things from outside of the Empire" Emiko said with a small shake of the head "but until then I can enjoy it, as can my friends."

She walked out with him, popping her umbrella open as they got to a point leading outside.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"Well, I'm doing my best on that", he reminded her, and reached for her umbrella, offering to take let her focus on carrying her case close.

[Usogawa Emiko]

"I know" Emiko said with a soft smile, letting him take the umbrella as they walked out into the rain.
