Koi enjoyed this game that she had created with the Kasuga with no rules, or at least spoken. She wondered how the Tortoise was taking it, was it reeling in his head? Was he finding himself balancing delicately between to much, or too little?

Koi studied the Kasuga, and for a moment felt blush appear at her throat and cheek when he spoke, though the rise of the eyebrow was one his rewards when he touched Koi's fan with the kiseru. "Good answer, Kasuga-san. Though, for a moment just then I thought I was in the presence of a Hare not a tortoise with how swift you are too..." She leant forward, and raised her fan to whisper. "Woo me."

Straightening up Koi, smiled at him with a teasing raise of her left brow making her eyes just sparkle with happiness. "I can be many Kasuga-san, I can be a wife, a friend, an ally, an enemy, a gift, a tool, an alibi but most of all I can anything I wish because Kami curse anyone that would dictate to me who I am meant to be." She said calmly, her cadence bubbling with confidence and more over a deep sense of pleasure speaking with the Kasuga.

She sharply flicked her fan, this time tapping the kiseru as if they were trading blows and she lent closer, practically beside his ear and whispered. "Be prepared Yoshi-san, I am not so simple to be won by simple flattery and a dance to the bedroom. I love dancing,," She said looking up at him, her vitiligo eye piercing and playful like a little Baku spirit. "Perhaps, you should consider what you would receive if I dedicated my life to working alongside you."
"If you are quick in your steps are you are in your words Kaikoga-san, I must practice my own. Dancing is always more fun when you have an able partner to pair with, and I would hate to dissapoint you."

He couldn't be sure whether it was still just a game for her, but Koi certainly seemed to enjoy playing and wanted him to continue. The damndnest thing was, he honestly wanted to. It wasn't her looks. That wasn't to deny her beauty, especially with the interesting patch of coloring. But like him, she knew the game, and was playing it her own way. Perhaps not with the same disdain for the rules, but certainly to her own end.

And her request was telling. A samurai didn't marry for love, or attraction. It was supposed to strengthen their Clan and standing. Asking to think about how the pairing would work was a practical step before making an offer.

Yoshi leans in and whispers. "I can imagine quite a number of things right now" He back away. "But we should take time and learn more about them. Is your afternoon free?"

"Oh, Kaito-san, I never duel if I can help it, that's too much like a fair fight... and far as it goes, it seems people expect you to speak at these things."
The Kaito shook her head. "Sometimes the unspoken word has more validity than those spoken." She looked at the Shiba and nodded. "I understand the military training..." She cleared her trout and in a deep voice imitating a high ranking officer she spoke "Speak when spoken to and keep your answer short." She giggled. "My apologies Shiba san."

Koi glanced at the Kasuga with her jade eyes twinkling with entertainment, and a smile. "I quite enjoy fishing outside the city walls near the river, if I am free I will come join you - I hope your are good with your fishing rode."

It was that point she spun on the spot, giving him a full view of her back and all the wonderful curves her body showed before stepping forward to offer her gift.

Excitement boiling in her stomach.

Update: Day 13. Koi is wearing a kimono in much higher quality, lilac in hues with green lunar moths and silver lanterns. She is wearing a jade green choker. She is wearing a katana that largely is peace tied, and at night has a very fine lantern. She is being followed at all times by a Shika Guard at a distances. She wears a fine wooden carved bracelet with the Moth Clan symbol on it.

Yoshi knows decorum. He is aware of the fact that, at this moment, he ought to following it to the letter and beyond. This is a formal hall for presenting gifts, and all other candidates for the miai are here as well.

But he can't resist cocking his head to the side and watching the figure of Koi as she leaves and...appreciating it.
