"I understand," the gravity of her words let him know she feels in the same proverbial boat, as well.
What a terrible place to leave this, he thought.
Don't do that to her, just try for once.
"But!" and he sat up and faced her properly again. "I suppose that does mean I want something, and so I'll risk failure for it. I am a samurai, after all."

"Hai," she meets his gaze head-on, lifting her chin with a confidence that doesn't meet her eyes. "What are we to do but live honourably, and risk everything for what's expected of us?"

"I know that's rhetoric, but I'll give you an answer", he said. "Honor and expectation aren't what I'm after, it's something more meaningful than that."

She watched the Scorpion closely and conceded. "No, I suppose not. What, then, is driving you?" she genuinely wanted to know.

He stood up, eyebrow arching at her. "Finding someone who will steal the sheets from me in the middle of the night." he bowed Like many there, Hikimasu foolishly decided to look for love. He felt that was something he could do.

She laughed at that, but there was a heaviness to it. "I suppose there is that." She looks up at him for a moment from her seat. "Goodnight, Shosuro-san. Our chats are never boring, and I look forward to the next."

"I'll expect a full report, maybe we can share if you don't hear about it first", he said, then he left, he had to keep his brain focused to leave out the entrance that was away from Emiko. Not that he didn't want to talk to her, but he needed to get his head ready for next time.

"Not only that" Emiko shook her head "all the plays have been about how love and marriage can go, but the messages they send within those work against the mood of the miai. Especially the amount of comedy pieces we've had."
There was a pause before she grinned and added "why, a play about this miai!"
"Well do they work against the mood or against the mood we think it should have?" He thought rubbing his chin "maybe they are sending a message with the play choices."
His eyebrows went up a little and he grinned at her declaration "Oh? You will have a hard time casting someone to match my handsomeness and Stature." He teased lightly

Emiko paused at that, thinking, before shaking her head.
"Perhaps, perhaps not. I'm sure the Deer knew what they were doing when they arranged these plays in the order they picked them."
Then she grinned, and added "well, then I'll have to cast
you as yourself then, won't I?"

He laughed at that "Well that would just be cruel! To force an audience to endure the horror that is my acting!" His laughter rumbled and slowly subsided
"But in the end I feel the Deer rarely don't know what they are doing."
