Her borrowed umbrella was left at the door, her hems slapped at her ankles, soaked through after a full day of dealing with the rain. With little fanfare, she settles to the back of the theater.
ooc: quote/pm to approach.
After his usual time of musing after the play was over, the Suzume got up from his chair. His face was still thoughtful, but something deep down seemed to indicate some small amount of frustration - although he was clearly doing his best to shake it off.Once more the lanterns are dimmed, and the play begins!
Ichiro by Kakita Takeo
Otomo Ichiro, son of the influential Otomo lord Shiko has received an invitation to study at the famous Kakita Academy. However, his father sends a dozen Seppun guards with Ichiro to keep him safe from any possible enemies. However, Ichiro complains to his father that such heavy security is interfering with his studies. His father agrees to withdraw the Seppun....but arranges for Shosuro Tadakuni to infiltrate the Academy as a fellow classmate from the Kakita family to shadow his son. The two form a fast friendship which soon deepens to romance. However, Ichiro discovers Tadakuni's true identity. Hurt at the betrayal, Ichiro threatens to expose Tadakuni to the Academy. Tadakuni pleads with Ichiro that his feelings for him were never a lie. Ichiro is moved by the Scorpion's tears, and promises to not expose Tadakuni, as long as he always comes first rather than his father, which Tadakuni's readily agrees to.
Seeing Yasu also hanging around by the back of the theatre, he slowly approaches her, nodding as he does so. "Ah, Kuni-sama! We meet again." He nods towards the stage. "I... must say I was expecting another Ichiro", he said with a soft chuckle. "Although... I should probably have expected an Imperial." A quiet, calm smile. "Anyway! I hope you had a pleasant day, if... well, moist? And... what did you think?", he said, motioning his head towards the stage again.
