[D7, EE, expecting] The Lions and the Fires

[Agasha Inoshishi]

Inoshishi giggles, both at the idea of sleeping with the bunny and at the idea she just thought of, her eyes sliding sideways to the Matsu, making her giggle harder.

“We will see! Maybe I’ll find another plushy, though I don’t know if I could bring him, er, it back to the room.”

She’s giggling hard enough that she accidentally makes contact with the Matsu. Surely she isn’t burying her face in his arm to stifle herself. Surely.

[Matsu Ishioka]

A giggling Dragon against his arm is not something the Stone Matsu is used to, but he can withstand it at least for a while. He does raise a curious eyebrow at Inoshishi, slightly worried about what mischief is in her mind, but then the questioning eyebrow turns to Oubaihime.

"A bunny toy just appeared in your room? No note or anything? I like giving gifts, a lot, but that seems... an odd approach for a miai? Not very logical..." The Matsu's analytical side is fully engaged on this mystery.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Perhaps an anonymous admirer... I really don't know. Just a few know about my hunt." The girl shrugged.

[Kitsu Murato]

"Could be a coincidence, though common wisdom dictates there is no such thing. But it does not surprise me that Bai-chan is being offered gifts," he replies with a warm smile to her.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito started playing with the bracelet that was given the previous night. "Ah... hai... I had told Raizo sama that I would get Kimonos at my door because of my really plain wardrobe... Training clothes and miiko outfit that is all I've got until that day we went to the market and we got the new one."

[Kitsu Murato]

"I got a new kimono from the champion after the break in of my room," he said with a smirk. "Not exactly the type of gift one hopes to receive."

[Agasha Inoshishi]

Inoshishi looks back and forth between the two, her giggling abating as long as she doesn’t look up at Ishioka.

“I have received what I hoped I would while here.”

Her comment sobers her such that when she looks up at the large Matsu, she simply smiles, eyes shining.

[Matsu Ishioka]

Ishioka still looks suspicious about the stuffed bunny, but he can't ignore Inoshishi's pleasing comment and looks at her with smoldering eyes, though Murato and Oubaihime from their position might not realize the intensity of the look.

"If Kaito-san wishes to visit the market again, I am a frequent visitor," the Matsu admits, turning back to her. "I would welcome the company anytime."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"I will be honored." She gave a bow and a jingle.

[Kitsu Murato]

He nodded at that. He may have preferred to have the opportunity to spend time with her in the market, but he definitely didn't mind Ishioka doing so in his stead. Somehow that felt good to him.
