[Day 8, Early Afternoon, Common Room] An Army Marches on Its Stomach (Open)

Post by Shiba Raizo » Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:32 pm

He came in from the rain and quietly had a seat in the common room.

Lunch. Lunch would help.

He looked about. He'd spent more time in the Inn than he had in any building since his gempukku, and it was starting to feel a bit... claustrophobic.

I mean, I know everyone means well, but...

But he was starting to go stir-crazy.

Tune that out. Eat.

Well. As soon as a server approached, anyway... in the meantime...

In the meantime I can reflect on my total lack of hobbies to kill the time spent waiting. Yay.

Who better to help him tune out thoughts than Unsei. The gremlin of an Imperial walked into the inn like they were looking for someone to annoy... which was exactly what they were doing. Unfortunately, Raizo was the first one their honey-colored eyes landed on.

How terrible.

So, without further issue, Unsei walked straight up to him, bowed, and then sat down at the table like nothing was the matter.

Raizo perked up a bit and actually grinned.

"Seppun-sama! Been a while- how have you been?"

Nope, in no way did I see that attempt at a duet yesterday, no way, no how.

Nobody saw that fucking duet. It was wiped out of all minds.

"I've been... decent. I'm alive. Doing pretty well overall, but still some darker spots. You know how it is. How've you been? Gracing some presences with your own, ey?"

"Well enough."

He frowned.

"Although it kind of figures that the first event I had a chance to excel at involved putting someone I care for in an embarrassing situation."

"Doing better than me. My interest hasn't even looked in my direction in regards to doing an event together. Though, ah, it's not like the wrestling was a good position for anyone who did it with their romantic interest."

"The Deer could give the Scorpion pointers on offering 'gotcha' situations. At least you didn't square off against your cousin? Or Asahina Bo-san?"

Or me.

"I think my cousin would rather eat her own arm than come to any of these events." They chuckled some. "I wouldn't have really cared who I faced off against anyway, but Moto-san and I did well together, I think. Besides, height isn't everything."
