(D3, EE) Music for the Masses

[Kitsu Murato]

Murato arrived to the tea house this evening, his shamisen in tow. When he got in he ordered some Yuri and found a seat. He sipped while he waited, and empty cup across the table from him. He quietly tuned his shamisen between sips.

[Usogawa Emiko]

Under a pink parasol, the little Otter arrived. She had her flute in her sleeve as always, and knowing that Murato would just question it if she didn't she was carrying her box with her instrument with her.

Leaving her umbrella by the door, she entered and looked around for Murato.

[Kitsu Murato]

The Kitsu rises and waves when he sees Emiko, inviting her to join him.

[Agasha Inoshishi]

Being brave isn’t Inoshishi’s strong suit and besides, she usually doesn’t have license to be in these places, since she’s so bad with money, but thus night is different. She needs to blow off steam and since she has a letter proving that her lord will pay, she’s not worried about counting her zeni, for once.

Noticing the shamisen, she perks up, settling down for a drink and some enjoyable music.

[Kaikoga Koi]

The Moth was attracted by the lights and smell of rich teas within the tea house, at the same time she had a thought about someone to speak too. Afterall, this was still something that needed to be seen too and she frankly been avoiding it.

Arriving at the tea house Koi, tonight her fashion was a play on her namesake with a lighter summer kimono that allowed her more feminine figure to stand out. Her make up intricately applied around her eyes with red and golds, making the Jade in her eyes pop.

Tonight if she was dressed as a Koi she would speak to the other Koi, and learn from her. She closed an orange umbrella she had, and asked if Koi-san was avaliable for a conversation and some tea before settling down in a seat watching the occupations with a smile.

[Usogawa Emiko]

The Kitsu rises and waves when he sees Emiko, inviting her to join him.

With a smile, Emiko made her way over and bowed.

"Good evening Kitsu-sama. I hope you are well?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"I am Usogawa-sama. I must say I am surprised to see the box, even if pleasantly so," he offers a seat and tea, pouring a cup from the pot for her.

"Are you planning on sharing it with so many people? I certainly would enjoy it, but I would not press you in such a crowded place as this."

[Usogawa Emiko]

Emiko shook her head.

"Forgive me, when you mentioned about playing I had assumed you meant having tea first then going. I think I misunderstood playing...here. I won't play it here."

[Kitsu Murato]

He smiled at that. "Of course. How have you been? Well I hope."

[Usogawa Emiko]

"I'm well, although concerned about my kin. The morning was rather cruel to her, and I still don't really understand why it needed to be so" Emiko shook her head and sighed "thankfully she's a strong one."
