"Of course, Shika-san, if one is to look and skilled at reading others, there is much to find there," Narumi contemplated, drumming fingers on her chin.
She nods to the Crane as well. "As our lords have their secrets we are not privvy to, we keep parts of ourselves hidden, only to be revealed to those who choose to look deeply."

Akihiro's face turns dark in tone and expression. "Yes."

What exactly he was replying to was unknown. Probably also to himself.

Well, Nesshin thinks, that turned unfortunately.

Trying to return to some semblance of cheer, he puts in "What have you found when you've looked that most amused you?"

That ought to help.

Shit.
Narumi put on her brightest smile.
"It's the little things I find most amusing, Shika-san.
A pair of samurai's shared love for ikebana which they keep private from most, I then discover, and it becomes the red ribbon that ties their hearts to one another.
Something in their pedigree that stands out, a moment in their ancestor's past that links two families together, which I bring forward to the present.
Small things, seemingly insignificant... but nothing is truly without significance, is it? As you said, everything we are is written on us."

Akihiro blinked once. Then twice. "Looking inside of people beyond the walls of makeup and courtesy is difficult. The Crane...do not relax as often as other samurai might. I have seen little to find amusing underneath what most samurai wear to keep themselves safe. As I don't often frequent geisha houses..."

He looked down at his fists which were balled up and white. The Kakita glared at them until they relaxed at his knees.

"I'd commend ours to you, then," Nesshin replies. "It's a fine place, and a good one. Many have found their ease there."

She didn't like the disdain in the Crane's voice. Considering the Otter's history with geisha.
"That sounds like an excellent idea, Shika-san, I will be sure to pay a visit, myself."

Nesshin looks to her, smiles.

"I'd love to join you," he says. "Please let me know when you do."

"I will have to make at least one visit before I leave." He nodded to the Shika and the Usogawa, "and would be happy to allow a native to show me around so to speak."

Nesshin nods.

"So," he says, "what news from your lands?"
