This is all good. Well prepared. So why am I so nervous?

The Stone Matsu arrived early to ensure the table was acceptable. He was no party planner, but his careful mind had insisted on thinking through the possibilities here and ensuring that he was encouraging the best possible outcomes.

The man nods to himself again, reassuring that he's not letting nerves get in the way of having things in order. With a deep breath, Ishioka tries to center himself in the moment.

Murato arrived for another daye with Ishioka, greeting with a smile. "Good evening cousin."

Inoshishi arrived mostly on time for once. Her kimono is as close to perfect as she can make it. She carefully keeps her hands behind her back, bowing to the two lion.

“Ishioka-san, Kitsu-san. Thank you for inviting me to this dinner!” She sits next to Ishioka, given the opportunity.

The Kitsu received an easy smile and a nod, and the Agasha did as well. The Matsu's smile widened for a moment as Inoshishi slid in beside him, though he made no comment about it.

"How have you found the day, Agasha-san?" It's perhaps slightly odd to ask when they were together a few hours before, but he asks warmly enough, just making conversation.

Arriving just a tad later, Kaito Oubahime could be heard. The bells jingles announced the priestess. She wore her miiko clothes. she sees the party and smiled. The Kaito moved to the table and joined the other 3. "I hope Inari has blessed you." She bowed before taking a seat.

Inoshishi smiles. "Better now, but rather eventful regardless. And you, I-Matsu-san?" A moment late with that cue, but she got it in the end.

"Oh, hello Sister! I didn't know you were going to be here too! Yay!" She smiles widely at her friend and de facto roomie.

"Sister?" Ishioka asks curiously. Strange coincidence? His face shows he's puzzled, though not obviously concerned.

Bai giggled at Ino's welcome and glared at the Matsu. "Matsu sama invited me." She gave the Matsu a side nod. She turned to the Agasha. "I am sorry about this morning nee chan but you wouldn't wake up. So I let you seep in."

Murato rose to greet the others woth bows. "I must apologize for that. I had Agasha-san out late telling her some of my ghost experiences."

Inoshishi smiles at the Kitsu. "They were most expertly told! And, as prophesied by yours truly, I did indeed find sleep difficult, for a time. And then it was so, so easy." She grins. "Too easy, in fact. I hope my sleepy grumbles caused no offense, Kaito-chan. I know I can be a deep sleeper."

She crinkles her nose at the Matsu. "See? Full of surprises."
