(D5 EA) What Lovely Hare You Have

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Eeeep." The Kaito took a step back after he whispered in her ear. The poor priestess stumbled on a rock falling.

[Kitsu Murato]

Opening his eyes in surprise at the stumble, he reaches out to catch her... And slips on a slick mud spot himself, resulting in a tumble to the ground. In the process, Murato took hold of Oubaihime to protect her from the fall, and twisted to land with her on top. He didn't want to crush the poor girl under his own clumsiness... but now he was in the mud with her over him.

And he froze like a frightened deer, half scared he had hurt her, half lost on what to do or say in this position.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito eyes grew wide as the two fell. Now she was on top of him due to the earth calling on both of them. The Kaito's hands are now on the muddy soil, she starts to laugh. She pushed herself to lay besides of him. She watched the clouds and let the rain drip on top of her face.

[Kitsu Murato]

When she rolled away and started laughing, he calmed down.
Murato turns his head to look at her, a wide smile breaking on his face. Then he took a muddy finger and tapped the tip of her nose. "You've got something right there. A little mud I think."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito giggled. She cupped her hands and dumped it on top of his head. "Now you are all wet." She laughed like a child.

[Kitsu Murato]

He laughed and shook his head, creating a spray of water.
Slowly he made his way back to his feet then offered a hand to pull Oubaihime up. He just laughed gently and smiled.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She took his hand to stand up. She giggled and straighten her clothes. "Thank you..."

[Kitsu Murato]

"Well, since were soaked all the way through, and now covered in mud, we probably want to at least hang out here long enough for the rain to wash off the mud," he says with a smile. "And you have some in your hair. Turn around and I'll clean it out."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She turned around and took out the ribbon that kept her hair tied. "Thank you."

[Kitsu Murato]

"Of course," he replied. He carefully went about removing larger bits of mud and letting the rain rinse it out. "This would work better with a comb or brush." He chuckled at that.

"Which, I'm no great hairdresser, but I've done my fair share of washing and brushing for my father and one of my cousins. So if you ever need a hand. I can't style, cut or... well, maybe I can braid now. Just let me know if you would like my help anytime."
