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

[Agasha Inoshishi]

Inoshishi smiles a little sadly, knowing that her time at the market is done. But she’s also secretly happy. The Matsu’s shopping habits will hopefully keep him from getting too upset when she inevitably does something stupid with any money near her.

“Are you all pairing with people on the idea that we would be fighting them or cheering them on? I was trying to convince my good friend Usogawa Narumi to join with me, since I felt that it would be a fight together and that would have been at least fair. She was convinced it was cheering, so I decided to assist my brother. I hope, for both our sakes, she’s right.”

She carefully, carefully, carefully doesn’t look at Ishioka except out of the very corner of her eye.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Well... I don't know what would it be but I trust that our host won't make something too violent for the need of my skills." She looked at the Kitsu and giggled. "I think Kitsu san here would like for me to heal his wounds."

[Kitsu Murato]

"Well, you did say you could teach me a bit about martial arts. If the test is one that has us grappling our partners, perhaps you'd be willing to give me a few lumps you could care for later?" he asks with a grin. "Or maybe we'd get to work together to provide lessons to others. If you would be interested in pairing with me?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"I guess there is no harm in us pairing up. If it is cheering... well It will be an honor to have the great performer of today on my side." She giggled and jingle.

[Kitsu Murato]

He nods at that and smiles warmly. "If it is just cheering, then I would be lucky to have you inspiring those cheers with your prowess."

[Matsu Ishioka]

I was trying to convince my good friend Usogawa Narumi to join with me, since I felt that it would be a fight together and that would have been at least fair. She was convinced it was cheering, so I decided to assist my brother. I hope, for both our sakes, she’s right.”

She carefully, carefully, carefully doesn’t look at Ishioka except out of the very corner of her eye.

Ishioka makes no comment but squeezes the Dragon's hand, encouraging her to meet his eyes. If she does, she'll see questioning eyes, followed by a raised eyebrow that suggests, "we'll talk about it."

[Agasha Inoshishi]

“we'll talk about it."

Inoshishi arches her eyebrow slightly at that look, her shoulders twitching in the faintest of shrugs. Combined with her mischievous look, she doesn’t seem to believe that very much at all. In fact, she seems to think plenty of other things can distract from that.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

He nods at that and smiles warmly. "If it is just cheering, then I would be lucky to have you inspiring those cheers with your prowess."

"But... I would like you on the side lines cheering for this one." She looked down and sighed.

[Kitsu Murato]

"That is what I meant to say... there I go, twisting my words up a bit," he says with a smile. "As to say, you're skill will inspire me to cheer louder than the others that watch you."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"It is fine Kitsu sama..." She smiled. "Don't worry... I... I know you meant well."
