[D0 EA] Meditations and Cleansing

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The girl tilted her head and used the broom as a support. She watched the Scorpion with a smiled. "I could check if you are telling me the truth." She chuckled as the broom started to slide and the girl fell.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

He had a quirky, if not witty retort prepared, and then she fell over. A single dark eyebrow arched, as if he didn't believe it had happened.

"I think", he said and turned to the side, extending his hand down toward her. "You need to practice a two-hand grip with that broom."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The young lady smiled taking the hand of the Scorpion. "Or better yet... not use a broom as a wall to rest." She started to straiten her red hakama and dust off her kimono. "Arigatou Scorpion sama."

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"Shosuro-san would be fine, I'm am heir but not to much", he said, placing his hands at his sides again, suppressing the nervous sweat he got from touching the maiden's hand. "Be more careful with leaning brooms."

It wasn't a joke really, but he still chuckled nervously.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"That too..." Oubaihime giggled. "At least I know that the Earth appreciates me so to call to me." She tried to break the tension of the Scorpion with a little joke.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"Being a bit of a dirt eater myself from time to time I can understand", he nodded.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

Oubaihme shook her head. "Is that healthy Shosuro sama? I mean eating dirt..." She chuckled again. "You should have a healthier diet. If you so wish I could help with that." She smiled. "I can ask the monks to make something hearty."

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"You mean having your face shoved in the dirt after someone trips you is bad? I thought that was just how some people say hello", he said, straight faced, but perhpas he always was.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito blinked a few times. Why do I just want to hug this man and tell him everything will be fine? The maiden blushed lightly at the thought. "That is quite rude of your friends asking you to meet the earth like that."

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

"Well at least I've gotten to know the ground well", he shrugged. "You seem to fall over on your own, feels more lonely." Maybe it was a joke.
