Murato's grin may as well be a smile, as wide as it is. "That was a wholly unexpected pleasure Shika-san. I had been under the impression you were a bushi not a performer. I've learned my lesson."

Nesshin shrugs, grimacing.

"I have no idea where that came from, really," he says. Then, after just a moment, he pauses, grins, and adds "But then, so many things are better with a willing and able partner; perhaps I was inspired."

Yoshi does a quick double take, dropping his voice. "You got that all from the one time you landed on my lap?"

Koi smiles. "I know a katana over a tanto any day of the week, Yoshi-san."

Koi giggles. "I did land on your lap purposefully?"

"Well, do you really know?" Yoshi responds playfully, trying to keep his expression neutral with the gathered people around.

"No one knows a sword like its sheathe"

Koi raised a brow and laughed warmly. "My skill with katana's grow each day, I learn more and more. Perhaps."

She chuckled, and looked out at the play. "I am waiting to approach Pei-Pei-sama. I made her something."

Hikimasu was there, prepared as much as he could be. He seemed a little tense, but also eager.

Nesshin doesn't leave his conversation, but he does give the Scorpion a nod.

Koi turned to the Shosuro with a smile nodding her head. "Good morning, Hikimasu-sama."

The nod was returned. But then...

Hikimasu-sama?

First name with and painfully respectful honorific. He made a face. His mask hid it well. Though it looked like this was something he'd be dealing with going forward. At least he liked Koi well enough.

But now he had an issue, approach one and ignore the other? He decided to stay put, just bowing to Koi in thanks for her greeting. He had already interrupted Yoshi once and he didn't want to distract Murato and Nesshin from their performance.

Koi smiled at the Scorpion judged his reaction with a raised brow.

Too much? She thought. Too little?

She said softly. "Good luck up there, Hikimasu-san?" She said leaving it as a question to seek his acceptance or refusal. She didnt want to offend

"Kaikoga-san, do your best. I'll be looking forward to what you present", he replied from where he was with a slight eyebrow arch. "I'll be waiting for my partner, so don't let me disturb you, I'm only preparing myself." He seemed at ease enough, his voice polite, but not cold.

Spoil sport. Koi thought a bit disappointed but she had expected that for a Scorpion. Give it time.

Koi nodded. "Remember the breath, Shosuro-san. You are practically blue."
