"Asahina-san," she said slowly after words made sense to her again.
"How would you feel if the matchmakers matched us...?"

"Oh." A very, very long pause for processing as a beleaguered squirrel runs as fast as it has ever run before in its wheel, "Ohhhhhh! I mean, yeah, that'd be nice... real nice. But wouldn't you haveta join the Crane if that happened?"

Narumi let out a breath she'd apparently been holding.
She felt like she was going to pass out; light headed, heart thundering in her chest so loudly she could feel it.
She gave Bo a nervous af smile and shrugged, before looking down at her hands and wringing fingers together.
"Maybe? If you want? Or you could join the Otter. We can travel and see where we end up?"

Bo nods, "I mean Asahina-sama really wanted me ta marry out and I thought if a Great Clan married a Minor Clan they'd have to join the Great one. If that's not true then... well... it's still up to the Deer but it would be real nice."

Looking back at him she put a hand over her chest to try and dissuade her heart from exploding at the rate it was going.
"I don't think so, at least in this miai's case. But I can ask? I want to see Shika Pei Pei-sama again soon besides."
Was this really happening?
It didn't feel real.
"... I think it would be nice, too."

"Indeed... Are you really okay with this?" She paused, considering what else to throw at him.
"I mean, it's ultimately up to the Shika and what they decide is the most harmonious match..." her gaze dropped again. "But I thought, yknow, I'd ask, um, if you'd be alright with me? As your wife."
She rubbed a temple. "Honestly, I've liked you since we first met, Asahina-san."

"Oh... why?" He was a bit shocked by the final part then remembers the rest, "Uh... I mean... yeah I would. You're real nice... even if I didn't get ta travel I think I'd be happy... but here's hopin' for that."

She'd been wrong the other day in the dojo.
Now she could die happy.
She couldn't help but grin at Bo's response- a genuine, wide, heartfelt grin that lit up her features in a way very few things did.
"Okay. Let's see what happens."

He nods, "Yeah it's all in the hands of fate... or the Deer I guess...."
