"A fan might be a bit much", he admitted. "Though I won't discard the possibility of a fine night and early morning with them, this isn't what the thank you is for." His eye wandered a bit. "More like, having a better understanding."

Koi laughed. "I was just looking for me, Shosuro-san. Not whoever you are looking for."

Koi mused. "Perhaps, some perfume?"

he stopped at a shop a little ways down, following her suggestion. Looking at the selection he found something he think might be just right, actually.

His hand picked up a small pottery container painted with the kanji of Gin and Yama. With a gesture of inquiry at the vendor he was given permission and took a sniff.

"Quite a fresh scent", he said and offered it to Koi.

Koi mused before trotting over to the store that caught the Shosuro's attention. She looked around admiring the place and would remember to come here again when she actually could afford too.

She stepped over, and bending over she had to tuck her braided hair behind her ear taking a sniff. Pulling up she thought for a moment. "It is pleasant, it has a scent of Autumn but there is almost this musky scent in the background which would work if it was for a masculine but I think it would be to heavy for the fairer sex. Allspice, Juniper and...cardamon?" The merchant nodded at Koi.

Taking a moment she moved perhaps a three steps away before extending a finger to indicate before bending down to sniff the container. "This is much more pleasant, it has a fragrance similar to honeysuckle but with a really lovely jasmine balance plus..." She sniffed again. "Ah, yes just the right amount of citrus oil to it."

"Then on your recommendation", he said with a nod and asked the vendor to put it in a small box for him. While they waited, he faced Koi again. "There is little else I have until later this afternoon, and there were some things I'd like to discuss, and since it's with you, even more so. Do you have time?"

Koi watched the store keep, and glanced back the Hikimasu before walking over to another collection of essential oils.

"I am here, it would be rude not too. How can I help?" She said applicably.

"Well first, I'd like to talk to you about music, and the possibility of hearing something experimental, perhaps even exotic, in an otherwise proper performance. Is Koi-san open to such things?" he asked.

Agenda Ambush Complete!

using the water Opp to cancel 2 strife.

Koi mused for a moment, glancing at him skeptically before raising a brow. "Ara ara, Shosuro-san so bold of you to ask for something so adventurous in the public."

She feigned blushing, her hands going to her cheek as she laughed. "What do you have in mind? Tell me about it." The performer in her slipped out. "Would you be okay if my...escort..came?" She motioned to the rather tall, potbelly japanese Steve buscemi looking Deer guard that has been following them.

"Any and all should be invited, but I'd be pleased of you left him in a ditch somewhere", he answered. "The method is a bit adventurous, but I think people will come around. Really, it's to showcase a particular surprise."

Koi laughed warmly, and shrugged. "I wish I could but that would leave my hand in a bad position if I wanted to marry."

She glanced at him. "Tell me about it I am genuinely interested, why would it be adventurous? Please tell me its not another boy band like those Lion bushi did last spring, they were unbearable. They toured into my town and were so needy, and they didn't even arrive in the end."

Koi selected six different vials - Citrus, mint, cedarwood, almond, rose and violet. She smiled as she chose them, but ended up putting the rose and violet back.

"And you mentioned a surprise. Now, you can't dangle that over me Shosuro-san that is unfair." She said poutingly.
