Raizo's eyebrows went up.

"I'm not sure she'd stay awake through a conversation with me after that ancestry recital, but... I suppose I could give that a shot."

Her eyes widen, "Just don't... you know, tell her what you want. Suggest it. Give her your input, but make sure it's extra obvious that she knows more than you. Not like that's hard." She grinned.

"So perhaps hold off on threatening her with a naginata to get my way then?"

Sip.

"Damn. So much for Plan A."

He glanced sidelong at the Otter.

"Maybe I'll just tell her it was all your idea when I'm doing the undignified begging for my life part of things..."

"Yes, do that," she chuckled flatly. "I'm sure things can't get any worse for me than they are right now!" There was humour in her eyes despite the pain in her chest.

Narrator: oh but things could get a lot worse for Narumi. Just wait.

"So you're really that serious about this girl?"

"Well..."

He smiled at her sidelong.

"She makes me want to be... better. I'm not naive enough to think it's the be-all end-all, but it's more than I feel anywhere else."

"I'd say she's off to a fair start," she replied softly, with encouragement in her returned smile, "-though I do not envy her! You're incredibly challenging, Shiba-san."
She finished her tea and set the cup down. "Well. As much as I relish our conversations, I should be going. Hearts are out there just waiting to tied together, and my work is never done. Thank you.. for the time you share with me. It means more than I can say." Her eyes assured she meant it.

"Call me Raizo, Usogawa-san. I'd say we've come that far, hm?"

He smiled- not his usual grin, but something a bit gentler.

She inclined her head, "Then I shall be Narumi to you."
