"Even one as gifted with words as Murato-san can be tripped up when the truth of the heart gets in the way," he says, with affection toward both the Lion and Phoenix.
"Becoming challenged in even our greatest skills seems, ah... common enough around this place." He cocks his head so he can look more directly at Inoshishi and their hands held under the table.

Inoshishi smiles warmly at the Lion, moving over a little closer, challenging propriety. She faux-whispers to the Matsu. "I imagine they could both cheer each other on and make each other very happy, neh?"
Then she registers what the Matsu said and is distracted from the cute.
"And in what skills would you say I am challenged, Ishioka-san?" She lowers her voice, nearly purring the words, "Or that I challenge you in, Ishioka-k-san."

"See, I would not mind that at all. I think it would be a great learning experience... for you two," he teases, but his smile was definitely saying it was all in good fun.

”Nee chan and Nii sama have to agree.” She looked at the love birds.

Re: [D7, EE, expecting] The Lions and the Fires
Inoshishi giggles.
"Oh no, we're not doing that, yet. This one convinced or was convinced by the Otter that this would be a cheerleading contest instead of who one fights." Unlike the vast majority of people that use that language, Inoshishi's thumb pointed derisively at the large Matsu makes it clear she means him, not her. Her eyes roll magnificently in her head, begging the other two to sympathize with her. Her elbow rests on the table in casual disregard for the niceties of the situation.
"I will laugh when tomorrow this one has to smack around that little girl and make it look honorable. Me, on the other hand, I'll be fine. If I have to cheer on my brother, good, so be it, I'm more than capable. If I have to fight him, I at least have Dragon martial arts at my back, which is more than I can say for the Otter. That poor girl will never know what hit's her. You know, we should probably find a water shugenja to be ready for when this one finishes with her."
Her clearly expressed derision is the equal of any Lioness Legionnaire expressing her displeasure with the supporting Matsu Archer core. The light bounces off of the Dragon oddly for a moment, highlighting the yellows on her tunic, as if the Kami themselves are suggesting Moshumaru-san may be right and that she was a Lion in another lifetime.
"Either way, I would be willing to fight tomorrow, after we see who was right. After all, if Ishi-san here is right, I'll be ready. If not, perhaps two days from now, after he's recovered from the no doubt vicious beating the Otter will give him."

Re: [D7, EE, expecting] The Lions and the Fires
The Lion smiles indulgently through all the discussion, having been ready to answer Inoshishi's original question but not having been quick enough to start doing so. The patient Matsu leans toward the Agasha, as though he'll answer only her, but then speaks clear enough for the table to hear. "I meant, Ino-chan, that even my great skills like stoicism are challenged when in your very impactful company." His smile is amused, and he squeezes her hand gently.
"And," he says, turning to face the table again, "this challenge is absolutely accepted. In a couple of days. Near the river, I should think, so that we might refresh after our exertions?" There is no hint of mirth or suggestion in the Matsu's voice or manner. Apparently just the logical Stone Matsu setting up a reasonable plan.

Murato nods and smiles to the others. "I will make sure to keep my schedule clear. I expect it will be a fun experience."
He turns to Oubaihime. "There is always more to learn. I look forward to having a lesson beat into me. It's not an uncommon means of education for some Lion."
