Raizo paced through the gardens with his usual lack of aesthetic appreciation.

It's a miai. You're supposed to talk to people.

But you're generally bad at that, unless you know them already.

Are you sure? How often do you try?

Shut up.

Maybe he'd attend the play later in the evening. See if that... rattled anything into place for him.

At this point, Unsei was probably a stalker here to bring death and annoyance upon those they decided to follow.

Granted, all of this was also purely accidental as they wandered around, bumping into familiar faces.

"Oh. Shiba-san. What's up? Want a drink?" They withdrew a bottle of sake from inside their sleeve.

Off in an alcove somewhere, avoiding the eyes of anyone that wasn't looking for someone just finding a place to relax, Murato found a place to remove himself from the stress of the day. From the stress of the world. His cheer was gone, but it wasn't replaced with anything negative. Just a neutral and empty feeling of contentment, as though nothing in the world could shake him from his reverie. There were a few leaves lying on him in a few places. They look like they may have been put there intentionally, but it may have just been coincidence.

"Seppun-sama, good to see you... while I definitely do want a drink, I think it might not be the best idea just now..."

Since Raizo wasn't scouring his surroundings quite as intently, he saw no sign of the Kitsu just yet.

Unsei was blind on the best day, so they most certainly did not and likely would not see the Kitsu hiding away unless pointed out.

"Why not? Isn't it like a Crab or Unicorn saying that it's always time for a drink somewhere? If not, I've got mochi." They withdrew the bottle, only to bring out a box moments later.

"Mochi is probably safer at this point..."

"But is mochi really fun though?" With that, they returned that box back into their sleeve and pulled out the bottle again. "This is so much better."

"I have a play to attempt to comprehend... fun may need to wait."

They shook the bottle a little bit. "Come on. You know you aren't a light weight. A little sip isn't going to mess up your perceptions of the play."

"In the history of sake, has anyone ever actually just had a little sip?"
