Continuing from before... well, starting over, Murato put forth continuing effort into the small braid. And when he finally was able to complete it, he looked at it proudly. The frustration and time truly felt worth the effort. The mental stress he'd put on himself to finish this was... not that bad honestly. He thought he'd be more put out. But this had actually saved him from thinking about sadder things, helped him focus on the positives in his life.
The Lion hears a scratch at the door, and Yuzu walks in. “Matsu-san. I hope Inari-kami has been kind.”
There’s a bow and he goes directly to the point, “I have to request that you stop whatever is causing rumors to erupt like a plague between yourself and another participant of this miai.”

"You mean the ones caused by whoever broke into both of our rooms and stole our clothing?" he asked. "Consider it done, as I have taken no such action. Before any of those rumors I had made my interest in her apparent and she declined, not reciprocating interest. Anything beyond that is an unknown third party interfering."
“We do not know how the pairings will occur. The Shika are mysterious. What if my own cousin ends up paired with someone involved in such rumors.”
His eyes don’t glare, but there’s certainly a lot of power there as he says, “Mind your actions carefully. We may be related, but I won’t abide to such displays. Do not force my hand.”

"As I said, not my actions. They are false rumors. My only real activities I have done with her are some shopping and being commended alongside her by the governor. I have no intention or expectation of being paired with her nor she I. We may simply work together professionally to address spiritual concerns at the most."
He nods, narrowing his eyes, “We do not know how pairings will occur. There’s someone trying to besmirch yours or that other participant’s name, then. I expect Kitsu-san to employ what is necessary to get this issue solved.”
There’s another bow, “Inform me if there’s any need for support. May the Kami light your path.”

"I fully expect the rumors to dissipate soon. Something about me being attacked in the garden this morning. Since I was not there and have not been knocked out today, it was likely spirits of the forest doing what they do," he says with a nod. "Carry the fortunes Seppun-sama."
