A shining smile was given to their host! And Narumi leaned in, interested. "My apologies as well! And Koi-san is too kind with her words. Oh, hai, the rivers sing when Otter's pleasurecraft grace them," she raised a brow in amusement.
Koi smiles sweetly to her, and gave her a mischievous grin. "I am no kinder than you deserve, darling Narumi-san. Oh? Pleasurecrafts? I have never had such a chance to go on such leisurely cruises. We mountainfolks are use to the raging rapids, and waterfalls. Not that I dont enjoy getting wet." She hooted, coyly.
She popped a dim sum into one of her cheeks and giggled trying to lighten the mood some. "Singing, Maruto-san? When we are busy stuffing our bellies? Ney ney save that for later tonight. You will need it!" She waved a hand, playfully.
She giggled, and glanced at Hikimasu. "Perhaps, as a hostess...I could always do a number I suppose if this is what you all want?"

Update: Day 13. Koi is wearing a kimono in much higher quality, lilac in hues with green lunar moths and silver lanterns. She is wearing a jade green choker. She is wearing a katana that largely is peace tied, and at night has a very fine lantern. She is being followed at all times by a Shika Guard at a distances. She wears a fine wooden carved bracelet with the Moth Clan symbol on it.

Inoshishi smiles and nods, her dark eyes looking mischievously at Koi, debating suggesting a whole other way of making people, or at least Koi, sing.
Her eyes slide over to Narumi. Hmm. Maybe she had been meaning something when she looked irritated as Inoshishi had made comments about her being honorable. Not that she thought she and Koi and the assembled were particularly dishonorable. Just not in love with their own honor.
“I can provide the fireworks.” She smirks, settling on this as the best addition.
Dragon * Chronicler * Too Thin * smells like mochi * fireworks

Honor is the ideal. Unremarkable Retainer. Average Samurai
"If you say so, but the Ikoma do learn a few songs that are best in a group of friends, away from public and with sake," he replied, taking a sip and smirking. "Maybe we just need a bit more drink first."
She giggled, and glanced at Hikimasu. "Perhaps, as a hostess...I could always do a number I suppose if this is what you all want?"
"Well, as I have been threatened with a good time", his flute flickered into his hand from somewhere in his kimono.

Nesshin, whose player has been away doing teacher-prep, joins the toast and partakes abundantly of what is offered.
He'll catch up at some point, surely.

"You look lost. Let me show you the way to something nice."
Koi smiles sweetly to her, and gave her a mischievous grin. "I am no kinder than you deserve, darling Narumi-san. Oh? Pleasurecrafts? I have never had such a chance to go on such leisurely cruises. We mountainfolks are use to the raging rapids, and waterfalls. Not that I dont enjoy getting wet." She hooted, coyly.
Narumi clearly enjoys the attention. "Hai, they are leisurely, and relaxing.. and all together most enjoyable." She offers a wider smile to the Moth. Though she doesn't stop her gaze from ticking to the Tortoise as she moves to retrieve a steaming dim sum bowl for herself.
Carries: A paper umbrella, expertly painted to portray a section of the River of Gold. Lucky cricket.
D10+: A netsuke of a tanuki appears hooked over her obi at her left hip.
Also D10+: sports a split lower lip.

Koi hooted at that. "Ara ara, is that so? Perhaps now that I am to be stationed within the Capital you could give me a tour of such activities at some point, ney? I think we could have such fun together."
Luckily the mask made the blush less apparent. Kami, she did enjoy the chase of a beautiful woman it was much more alluring to obtain though Koi was curious if the Otter was all chase no reward and that glance towards Yoshi. What did that particular mean?
"If you say so, but the Ikoma do learn a few songs that are best in a group of friends, away from public and with sake," he replied, taking a sip and smirking. "Maybe we just need a bit more drink first."
Koi's smile remained the same friendliness. "Ah! Yes I did recall you had some musical talent Maruto-san it slipped my mind. I would be honoured for you to perform your music."
"Well, as I have been threatened with a good time", his flute flickered into his hand from somewhere in his kimono.
Koi smiled at the Scorpion. "Well, if you would like to join in how could I resist? Do you know the melody for this Wild Mountain Thyme? It is a favourite of mine."
The Moth placed her chopsticks down and took a sip of tea to cleanse her mouth before she settled down comfortably and closed her eyes.
First humming gently to build a melody for Hikimasu and Maruto to join in on. Once she was satisfied she began to sing...
O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather.
Will you go, lovely, go?
And we'll all go together,
To pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the purple heather.
Will you go, lovely, go?

He did not indeed know the tune, but as soon as Koi had put a few bars down acapella, the Scorpion joined right in and did so competently, eventually fully encompassing the tune and melody, though he seemed to have stressed a little from the effort, but he still smiled as he put his mask back up and bowed to Koi.

Murato comes in on the song after Koi introduced the melody. He has apparently heard the song as well, the Lion lands being home to a few mountain folk in their mines.
He didn't show off or take any leads, just doing his part beautifully and supporting his friend.
Nesshin tries to join in, the romantic song speaking to the blessings that fall upon him. His voice rings out not quite as smoothly as in the event some days ago, now, but with a powerful harmony that quivers in sympathy with the melodic line.
