Unsei, with a surprising grace, slipped and weaved through the crowds of the market with a smile and nods. Today, he appeared more masculine with a sharper jawline, boarder shoulders, and even a few hairs on his top lip, all thanks to make up and stuffing, but the effect was there regardless.
As always, his hat kept both the rain and what sun was there off of him as he danced his way around, keeping a keen eye out for any mochi or confection stands.

Hikimasu was in the crowd as well, looking over options.
For what, he had difficulty thinking. Someone asked him for his help, and he took that seriously. He wanted to look his best even if it didn't go well. Maybe he could get a new kimiono.
He saw Unsei, but... not?

Nesshin recognizes both as he goes through the market, himself. The Scorpion's still following me, he thinks, he has to be, so he goes over to Unsei. The hat's a giveaway.
"It's a good look for you," he says as he gives a nod. "Quite different, but good."

Re: [D3, LA, Open] Stocking Up On Mochi
He was so focused on the mochi that he nearly ran into Nesshin, but managed to stop himself juuuust before the collision... yet he had never technically looked Nesshin's way. He had just stopped perfectly. Then he looked to the other man.
"Oh! Hello. Yes. Ah. I decided to change it up a bit and confuse people. Tomorrow I shall look like a woman, so I'm excited for it. Then I'll probably go back to being me... well. I'm still me, but me-r me."
Then, like a person who saw their crush in public, Unsei glanced over at Hikimasu, blushed faintly, and then immediately looked away while lowering his hat, as if that wasn't one of the biggest giveaways in the first part.

Nesshin's eyebrows rise.
"Seeing a red thread amid the stars?" he asks, somewhat teasingly. "Good for you!" he adds, voice low enough--but cheerful.

Re: [D3, LA, Open] Stocking Up On Mochi
Unsei glanced over to Nesshin and looked like he probably would commit a murder on the Deer.
"I am cursed. You know this. Stop it. We are barely acquaintances and I've annoyed him recently so I am trying to stay out of his way." His words were also low, and a bit on edge. "That's all that's going on."
"Anyway, what do you want?"

Re: [D3, LA, Open] Stocking Up On Mochi
Because Benten is a bitch and curses are strong, Hikimasu ran into a merchant cart crossing the street, was yelled at by a pretty Shika guard and told to watch his step and not disturb the peace, then walked back away and was caught in a gaggle of children momentarily until he was deposited by the currents of fate directly in front of Nesshin and Unsei.
He gathered his wits.
"Yo."

Re: [D3, LA, Open] Stocking Up On Mochi
Nesshin's reply is preempted by the sudden appearance of a wild Hikimasu, despite no tall grass being nearby. The Scorpion's use of surprise is super effective, scattering an otherwise witty exchange.
Nesshin replaces it with a nod to his follower. "Shosuro-san. How goes the flute-work?" he asks politely.

Oh fuck.
Even now internally panicking, Unsei was able to bow politely to the Shosuro.
"Shosuro-san."
And then he did his best to fade away while not actually moving or having that one air spell that allows you to turn invisible. He was still there in full view, but he was wishing he wasn't.

Hikimasu nodded at Nesshin's question. "Well enough, i need more practice but it'll turn out I think."
Noting Unsei-not-Unsei's jittering reaction, he figured it was Unsei.
"Seppun-sama...", he thought about how he should phrase things, then decided to be polite. "You're looking rather robust today."
