"I was specifically referring to you, but Usogawa Narumi is also a perfectly lovely woman. Though her heart is set on another, so I simply wished her well and gave some words of encouragement," he replied with a smile.

"But I'm not the whole Otter, I'm just one person. You should meet Narumi-san, and Tanabe-san, and the others. If you base it on just me you might find that the Otter isn't as you believed it and that would be worse, ne?" Emiko shook her head.

"I will try to find opportunities to get to known Susaki Tanabe-san," he says with a nod. "And as I said, I've spent some time with Usogawa Narumi. If the opportunity arises, I will certainly enjoy speaking with her more. But I enjoyed our interactions and she was wonderful."

"Good. I'm sure he'll enjoy meeting you" Emiko said with a smile "I think however we should head off. The play will be starting soon and I need to return to the inn first."

"Of course. I can walk you there but I will likely not watch myself," he says, standing. "If you don't mind."

"Oh? How come" Emiko asked as she also rose "not coming to watch the play?"

"I just feel like the gardens are calling me," he says. "No specific reason related to the play." He bigins heading out with Emiko, offering polite conversation and umprella holding services along the way.

"Ok, enjoy them as well!" Emiko said with a smile, accepting the umbrella holding and enjoying some conversation on the way back
