(D8, MA, Baths) Let's Try Again (Open)

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Give me this Lion's name, Asahina-san, onegaishimasu." He says, gently so far. "I am indeed acquainted to her, as you are, or anyone in this miai."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

It is improper to say such things at a Miai and would be a betrayal of Bai-san, something I have promised never to. I have already wronged the man in question once do ask me to do so again Seppun-sama." The Crane rose to his feet in the bath and bowed to his superior.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Alright then. You give me no option." The Seppun rises from the bath tub and looks to the Crane, "I challenge you to a duel, Asahina Soyokaze-san, for offending the honor of every participant of this miai in taking a name into your heart outloud before it was even announced by the Shika Matchmakers. You must refrain from pursuing this love interest in such a dishonorable fashion."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

The Crane went white. "What? N-No Seppun-sama...h-how...I am hardly the first to do so -sama. I. I. I...." He looked to be on the verge of fainting but held.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"I will see any offender apologize and refrain, or bleed! By the will of the Heavens." He says, raising his arm and making a fist. "Say their names, and they'll meet a similar fate."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

The threat of violence triggered something in the Crane and he went from fearful to utterly resigned. "I do apologize Seppun-sama, my words were hasty and utterly lacking in decency, I should be punished." He walked slowly towards the young Imperial looking entirely resigned to the beating he was sure was coming.


At least she got the gift first.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Good. I accept your apology. Refrain from seeking the Kaito. That is punishment enough." He says and provides a bow, "I'll let you cleanse yourself, and your thoughts, alone."

The young Seppun gets out of the bathtub and wraps a towel to leave.

/exit if not stoped

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"No"

[Seppun Yuzu]

That negative does stop the Seppun. He turns around and says, "Something Asahina-san desires to add, or retract from his previous words and promises?"

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"No Seppun-sama I meant my apology, I should not have spoken Oubaihime-san's name, that was wrong of me. But I cannot stop loving her, nor can I understand the request to do so. I am prepared to suffer whatever wrath you may inflict on me but she owns my heart and nothing you do to me can change that."
