(D0, EA) Just Passing By

[Bayushi Minae]

She seemed genuinely pleased by his answer.

"I suppose we could debate the hierarchy below the Emperor," she said. "But arguing over which specific law, whish specific lord should be followed, and which is the inferior would make for far too dry and technical a discussion for such a pleasant day. Still, as expected of the Governor of Chisei, your points are made and taken quite well, Seppun-sama."

[Seppun Yuzu]

"No stepping in my garden, Bayushi-san." He says, not at all sounding like he's playing.

He's playing, though.

That earned an amused eyebrow raise.

"Oh no? And what, praytell, grows in your garden, Seppun-sama?" she asks, curious.

[Seppun Yuzu]

He wasn't ready to reply that, so he goes freestyle with the first things that come to his mind. "Peaches, melons, and... eto..."

The boy scratches his head, not really sure about. Then, he shrugs, "Did I say I don't know about gardening before?"

This elicits a shake of the head from the Scorpion.

"You did not, Seppun-sama, but that is not surprising to me. I'm sure a man of your station has a multitude of servants to see to the actual tending of the garden. I thought you might, perhaps, enjoy the art of ikebana. But if ikebana is not amongst Seppun-sama's interests, one wonders what forms of art Seppun-sama does engage in." she offers gracefully.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"The... martial kind." He replies, lacking the same grace the Scorpion just showed. Yet, that does bring a glint of joy to his caramel eyes.

[Bayushi Minae]

"I see, I see."

Minae bowed.

"Thank you, Seppun-sama. You have brought me to a greater understanding of what one such as yourself brings to and requires from a match"

She pauses for the briefest of moments.

"Would Seppun-sama be so kind as to accompany me to the play tomorrow? I would be keenly interested in sharing the experience with you, to see how it lives up to, or fails to meet your expectations." she asks.

[Seppun Yuzu]

He squints his at the invitation and says, "If the intent is just share thoughts about theater. Sure. I don't want to provide the wrong impression, like make you wrongly think I want to come tomorrow because you're pretty and cool."

The fan opens and comes back up to hide the Scorpion's expression.

"Of course, Seppun-sama. Merely a meeting of two samurai exchanging their viewpoints about art. The fact that one of them is possessed of a regal bearing with caramel eyes that would cause a Crane to curse their lot in life..... Well, that is, of course, completely irrelevant." she said maintaining propriety while making her viewpoint on the Seppun's good looks abundantly clear.

She swept into a low bow.

"And now, Seppun-sama, I must away. For the sooner I leave, the sooner we shall meet again. May every fortune bless you until we meet again." she offers bringing the conversation to an end.

[Seppun Yuzu]

"May the Kami guide Bayushi-san." He says, providing a bow back and holding a smile as she makes her leave.

Then, as soon as she disappears from sight, he starts to wiggle-dance his victory.
