(D5 EA) What Lovely Hare You Have

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito laughed. "Oh right." She gained her composure and started to admire the forest. "Have you ever seen this forest?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"Well, not really. There's a clearing over there somewhere that Moto Mitsuki set up a temporary shrine in," he says. "I'd be hard pressed to find it from here. But I haven't spent a great deal of time out here. Have you been out here hunting bunnies much?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Just the one time. Can you take me to the shrine? The Kaito smiled. "Please?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"I can certainly try," he says, not sure he can navigate it properly. And with the way things had been going so far and them being away from many eyes, he makes another somewhat intimate move. He offers an arm so they might find their way there arm in arm.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She moved to his side. The water falling on top of them made the Kaito take the arm to stay close. No words was uttered by the girl.

[Kitsu Murato]

He starts moving in the direction that he indicated earlier. "I haven't asked yet, though it seems the obvious question. Why are you trying to collect live bunnies?" It was strange the he hadn't asked that probably. But he knew it wasn't for anything strange or nefarious. This was Bai-chan.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"I just want a new friend." She nodded. "Mura kun... why did you come with me?"

[Kitsu Murato]

He does not hesitate. "Because I like you." It was simple, direct and to the point. And given their previous interactions, it's clear he probably wasn't just talking about liking a friend. But it was still short of the other l-word.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"I... Eto...I enjoy your presence even if you torture me so." The young lady chuckled. "I guess the fortunes want me to die of embarrassment with you."

[Kitsu Murato]

"i think that our differences are what would make for a good match between us," he says, no playfulness or joking. "I can't speak to what you want, but I would like a spouse that loves people. It's a bonus if they enjoy temples and I find them attractive. So Bai-chan has at least 3 things that I would consider great boons in a marriage by my estimation."
