[D11 EE] The Blossoming Lotus Tea (Expecting)

Post by Kasuga Yoshi » Tue Aug 31, 2021 9:25 pm

It had been a while since Yoshi had run into the mysterious Moth, and finds himself genuinely missing her company, and this extends an invitation for tea to catch up.

Koi arrives to the tea house just as a stiff breeze blew her into the Inn as if the Air kami was giving her a little boost. She looked stunning in a kimono of lilacs and silver covered with soft green lunar moths that flutter behind her. Her hair was braided close to her head, and held in place by a wooden moth studded with jasper and lapis stones.

Her shadow, a Shika guard known as Genkai. Tall, potbellied with slightly bulging eyes that make him look like a japanese Steve Buscemi loitered in after her but kept a distance.

Noticing the Kasuga waiting for her she slipped over. "Yoshi-san! I thought you had forgotten me, got all caught up in the drama of Kaito-san or some beautiful Crane." She joked.

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.

"You always say it's a Crane Koi-san. You have high hopes for me" Yoshi pours the pair tea.

"Who is the escort?"

Koi smiles. "Well, Kami loves a tryer."

Koi accepts with a bow of her head. "Thank you. Oh, the escort is called Shika Genkai, he was the guard I mentioned on the first day. He was rewarded to me for my service within the Kyuden Shika during my stay it would appear."

She chuckles. "Cant feed him after midnight, nor can I get him wet. Very interesting experiences."

Koi grinned a mischievous grin. "I feel sorry for the poor man having to stand outside my door at night and listening to the activities of my room."

Yoshi can't help but let out a snort at the last part.

"I don't know, shall we give him something interesting to listen to? Perhaps a few rounds of sea shanties into the night, just to see what his response would be."

Yoshi looks back at the man. "it seems you are something of a riser yourself. Not that I am surprised. You certainly managed it with me"

Koi hoots with a playful smile. "I do not know a single sea shanty for I have never seen the sea but I do a few trail songs."

She waved her hand passively. "No, I need to discuss something important with you anyways."

Koi tapped her finger on the table absentmindedly. "What if I said, I was given a sudden promotion from a particularly young Seppun Governor and was set to create a team of assistants to help build relationships with Minor Clans and the Great Clans would you be interested in becoming my left hand?"

She said playfully but the more she spoke it became serious. "Your clan works in the Embassey, you would be invaluable to have at my side either as a friend or a husband. If you say yes I will present your name to Lord Seppun later and will begin forming a letter to your Daimyo once he approves."

"That guy?" Yoshi does a double take. "I mean, distinguished Lord. How in the kami's name did he rope you in"

"I mean, it's an intriguing offer." Yoshi drawls, attempting to draw out his response. He honestly wasn't the biggest fan of Seppun Yuzu. The man stuck Yoshi as stuck up and rigid, but that was indeed the Seppun perogative. It was a Tortoise's dream to have access like this.

"What if we aren't paired up. What would your spouse think, bringing me along like this?"

Koi frowned, and wished she was drinking sake at this moment in time. The glance into her glass perhaps gave that away as she spoke. "He used the situation of me kissing him on the forehead against me, claimed I dishonoured him." She frowned. "I mean, yeah I am about as much of a fan of the Imperials as yourself but I couldn't exactly turn him down could I? I was..." She leant over and whispered. "Bent over and fucked, he did it in the bathhouses as well! Just me and him."

She sat back, tapping her nails annoyed but calms herself. "He is a tool, from a long line of tools but he is a tool with position, wealth and power that could do a great lot of good if handled well. He wants me to help build relationships with Minor Clans and the Great Clans to achieve some balance within his city as he is the Governor."

"It is not a done deal, I still need you to be signed off to him but if I swing you have contact in the embassy that might help your position." She said, casually before nodding.

"That shouldn't be a problem." She said. "I am hoping if we aren't paired up that I am wedded to Shika Nesshin, a solid choice and a genuinely good individual. I want you to meet him before the end of the miai, measure your genitals if you need too but I want you both to become friends. I have no time for duels for my hand, or hurt egos. If I end up with him, I think you can still...enjoy...sweeter offerings if you understand my meaning as he is not against mutual friendships..." She said carefully. "But I mean it, Yoshi-san. Make. Friends. He saved my life."

She said softly. "In one sense, he might be an ideal husband as he wishes to be a magistrate and Lord Seppun will assist getting him stationed elsewhere if he was to become my husband." She said calmly, turning to Yoshi. "I am a woman who loves multiple people, and those relationships mean a lot to me marriages just make my Daimyo happy it does not change who I am. Do you understand my meaning?"

Koi was concerned, her tone or words might put him off - she did not want that.

"I... wait, are we speaking literally about the bathhouse?" Yoshi holds up a finger. "Forgive me, that is a great deal to process in one go."

Yoshi seems to seriously think on it. "I have to say, if we wished to...manage for ourselves in Otosan Uchi, I would think that my particular set of skills and contacts would absolutely take advantage of it. Even if I need to share..."

Yoshi blinks and looks at Koi. "I do want you. So, I will be nice. No duels to the death over your hand, especially when other things about you are far lovelier"

" Getting jumped by ronin and left for dead doesn't count, right
" he mutters, mostly to himself.

Koi allows herself to slow down a bit. "Yep, the bathhouse. Joy oh joy, but its fine Ill manage at the very least I didn't make a fool of myself. I even negotiated terms with him, channeled my inner Kasuga."

She smiled, and jabbed him in the ribs with her finger playfully. "No ronin either. I can not stand over masculine men trying to when my attention. If I tend to invite you to spend time with me in a private manner thab consider my attention soughtly earned."

A blush. "Though the thought is adorable, Yoshi-san."

She laughed lightly sipping her tea. "So, do you wish to accept my offer?"
