D3MA, Destressing (Closed)

[Shika Nesshin]

Nesshin makes his way to the geisha house. It's not his first time, though he's not a frequent guest of the place; between being often out in the forest and otherwise often in others' sweet-smelling beds, he's not often had need of it. Today, however, he does, the morning's exertions having told upon him...

(More to follow.)

[Shika Nesshin]

The main room is, as expected, relaxing and inviting, and Nesshin chats amiably with those present. He does not press upon them, not at present, but actually uses the facility for its intended purpose: simple relaxation.

Though if someone he'd want to talk to about certain matters were to come in, he'd certainly be happy to strike up conversation.

(Still more to follow.)

[Ide Tomeo]

Ide Tomeo strode up to geisha house with the confidence of someone who knew what he was about. A brief conversation with the mama, an exchange of a shiny unicorn trinket as thanks for the experiences to come and he was in.

He did note the Deer staring at the entrance with an expectant air. While some did not want to be acknowledged in a geisha house, the Deer looked like he did. And so he did.

"Afternoon, Deer-san." he said, not from ignorance of the man's family name, but giving him one last shred of privacy. "I hope someone hasn't been discouraged by the rain from joining you this afternoon. It's not THAT wet out." he said with a bit of good humor.

[Shika Nesshin]

"Unicorn-san," Nesshin returns, observing the same privacy. "I wasn't waiting for anyone, no--though you're right that the weather's not so bad. But pleasant talk's still welcome, in any event.

"How're you liking these lands so far? I'd guess they're far different from those of your home."

[Ide Tomeo]

Tomeo grinned.

"Well, riding a horse at full speed would be a bit more challenging in your lands than my own...but still a challenge a true Unicorn could meet!" he boasted. "I've hear that your kinsmen can run as easily through the treetops as they could on flat land. That is something I would certainly like to see...perhaps even race against!"

[Shika Nesshin]

Nesshin grins right back.

"I'd not doubt the valor of a Unicorn ahorse," he says, "and a friendly contest might be good to see sometime. Might be good to attempt, as well.

"It's not the only thing here as might be, though," Nesshin adds. "We do pride ourselves on being welcoming to all of good heart."

[Ide Tomeo]

Tomeo nodded.

"Though I would not be so modest, Deer-san." he returns. "I think you've got all kinds of people within your walls for this miai. From the mighty Seppun to the lowly ronin. If your matchmaker's are tying knots, they certainly have no lack of material to choose from."

[Shika Nesshin]

"Anyone on whom Unicorn-san has an eye?" Nesshin asks. "Someone with whom to ride off into the sunset, as the trope goes?"

He chuckles a bit. "I've heard the sunsets in the western Empire are glorious."

[Ide Tomeo]

Tomeo chuckled.

"It is fortunate that the choice is up to the matchmakers, rather than myself. How can one choose with all those availble?" he said. "But one does have to admire the Topaz Champion. She is surely destined for greatness."

"The sunsets are glorious there, Deer-san. I highly recommend you go riding there some day. And who does Deer-san have their eyes upon?"

[Shika Nesshin]

"It is as Unicorn-san says," Nesshin replies. "There are many who attract, and justly so. And such acquaintances as have been made have not done so much to narrow the field as to broaden it. It's rather like having many many leads in a case--or so I've been told as I've looked into such matters."

He shrugs.

"Perhaps I will have the opportunity to test such things. I hope for it, at least."
