Her brow crumples in disbelief as Bo is clearly struggling to understand, and she pats his large bicep, pressing her lips together for a moment. "Um. No. Not Soyokaze-san," he's not the first to mistake two Crane for one another and Narumi's honestly at a loss.
"I sat down with Kitsu Moshumaru-san and he thought I was talking about Soyokaze-san too, when in reality it was you I was..."
Hm. Narumi drifted before returnjng to the point she was getting at. "He told me a haiku, one from his ancestors.
You are my mountain -
I see you everywhere and
Wish I was with you." she recited.

Bo's brow furrowed and the squirrel ran as hard as its little legs could manage.
So someone's missing a mountain?
They love the mountain?
I'm the mountain?
Wait.. so Kitsu-san is in love with me?
No... no... wait... she's just relaying the poem because she relates to it!
"Oh... uh... that's really nice." It was clear Bo had zero knowledge about what made a good poem but he could react to the sentiment behind it being told to him, "Um... thank you."

"I... You're welcome?" she looks a bit crestfallen, for only a moment before it's swept away and she looks down at her hands, off balance on how to proceed through wholly uncharted waters.
He understood, didn't he? Was that unclear? No, he definitely understood. So now what?

Bo, sadly, misread her confusion completely.
Maybe she's still hungry?
"Did you want more noodles?"

What?
"No- I-" she stuttered and finally groaned in frustration, before turning herself towards the beautifully obtuse mountain beside her, taking hold of the collar of his kimono, and pulling him towards her until they're lips met.

The poor, poor squirrel.
What's wrong?
What did I do?
Wait... are we fighting?
She's going in for a grab... should I throw?
But she doesn't seem angry and she's movin' kind of slow....
But maybe that's just her health?
Wait... no... this isn't fighting.
Oh?
Ohhhhhhh!
The sweet idiot, eventually, returns the Otter's kiss.
