"Not I..."

Sip.

"But I may have perhaps stood lookout for the guy who did..."

She shook her head incredulously, grinning. "You must have some big toes, Shiba-san."

"And the heart of a ruthless and sadistic maniac."

He winked.

"So how about you? What's your worst travel nightmare?"

"I mean... I could tell you... but then I'd have to kill you..." she winked at him dramatically, and already the wheels in her head searched for just the perfect story to tell.
Settling on one.
The worst nightmare of her life.
But unsure if she wants to share it, given the light-hearted tone of their poking fun.

"Leaving the world no poorer. Of course..." He sighed melodramatically. "I might have to disappoint both a certain lady and the fellow I commissioned a gift for her from if you do... perhaps we'll have to settle for something else..."

"Wait... A certain lady? The Phoenix has been holding out on spilling his disgusting thoughts to his nakodo!"
She's quick to veer away from what she was going to tell him. Another time.

"Yes."

Sip.

"I have."

And now time for what Tessho always calls my 'most punchable grin.'

".... You know I'd strangle you if we weren't in polite company? right?" she fumed, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"That's just my legendary charm overcoming you, Usogawa-san. Soon you'll be helpless in my presence..."

Sip.

"But... yeah. Someone I actually met on the way here. She's... well. I don't know if it's more than just infatuation- I mean, someone you've only known for about four days? But."

A shrug.

"I really like her. Not sure that's a good thing, since the Deer make the pairings, but..."

She gave him a playful scowl, but her ears perked up and she leaned in.
"The Shika are not so cruel as to match you with someone you'd be miserable with. They have a reputation to uphold, and I assure you their testing methods are not random, cruel as they may seem," she said sardonically, given her horrific morning. "-there's a method to their madness. It would be in your benefit... if this samurai-ko has truly stolen your heart... if she's what your heart wants... Follow that. Tell Shika Pei Pei-sama."
