“Perhaps tomorrow, Usogawa-sama?”
"Hai, that would work" Emiko said with a smile "I don't know if there's a good place to practice away from prying eyes if you want privacy. Maybe come to my room at the inn?"
“Ah- that would suit me, Usogawa-sama. Or mine, if you wished…”
Sakura smiles gently, tilting her head. “Whichever would suit you better.”

Emiko took a moment to consider that. Her room was quite near to the front of the inn and next to Hikimasu, so might distrub others.
"Hmm, perhaps yours may be better suited? I know my room is placed quite close to the main reception area, if yours is further away that would mean less interruption ne?"

"Sounds perfect" Emiko said with a few nods "I'm quite looking forward to it! It'll be fun, ne? I'll make sure you enjoy it too, acting can be really interesting."

Perhaps surprisingly, she doesn't answer right off, glancing away a moment before blinking in surprise. "Didn't see him come in," she says, returning her attention to Ishioka. "Just over there." A very small movement of her head indicates direction. "Someone made some very good guesses about what I'm interested in if they sent him on purpose....or, shipped him." She grins. "I did see what you did there, and want to tell you that your humorless Lion card in jeopardy if you keep that up."
Ishioka's face is steady, though with a small flair of bemusement as he observes Yasu. He blinks purposefully slowly at mention of his humorlessness. "I'm not sure what you're talking about, Kuni-san. I've always been good-humored. Just... not flashy about it. I try to leave loud and flashy to other Matsu, who are more suited to it." He gives another slow blink -- comically slow -- for her entertainment.

"I am terrible at games such as these. Better learn from others first and not make a fool of myself." He nods a couple of times.
Minae nodded.
"A wise course of action, Seppun-sama. I would be very distressed if a similar fate were to befall one such as yourself." she assured him.

"Would you be ok in giving me some pointers and I ever need to write one... I am not sure how it even works out. I only know Hantei Genji-shiryo-heika really liked to play it, or so they say."

Bright red lips quirk in a grin. "Yes, yes, all true, my friend. Though it's not humor the Matsu are known for, neh?"
"But back to all this. Since you don't want to need a second miai, it's definitely a good idea to impress the matchmakers and work with them I'd guess." She looks thoughtful. "I wouldn't know if it's best to fill them in on your own hopes for a match, but if Usogawa-san says that's a good idea, she's the one with training and I've got no reason not to believe her."

Ishioka's face relaxes a little, and he says, quietly and candidly, "I guess we'll see. Usogawa-san seemed... Very interested in what I might have to say. It was... a bit unsettling."

"Unsettling? How? I've really found her charming, to be honest."
