(D0 EM) Garden stroll

[Kitsuki Kiyonobu]

"I had not known that," the Kitsuki admitted. "The formality of such rituals had made me imagine them to be more precise than creative."

"I've mainly spoken only with Dragon shugenja before," Kiyonobu said. "If it would not be too much trouble, Kaito-san, might I ask you to tell me a little about yourself?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Huh?... Myself... This one is training to be a medic. I have aid in patching those who come to the Temple of the Water Dragon." She nodded. "I have expanded some of my knowledge with my cousins in the Togashi mountains. I tend to visit them in the summer time." She nodded. "I sometimes get some of the rarer herbs that are used to make a medicine kit."

[Kitsuki Kiyonobu]

"Ahhh, so you have visited the Dragon provinces," Kiyonobu said, nodding. "I hope you enjoyed your time there? Summer is the best time to visit, of course. The views from the high Togashi mountains are especially spectacular."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Hai, the temperature is quite pleasant in the summer." She reminisced "I remember the smells and the beautiful trees. That monk that keep the little bonsai..." She giggled. "I would ramble a lot about your homeland Dragon sama if you let me."

[Kitsuki Kiyonobu]

Kiyonobu smiled at her enthusiasm. "It is no trouble," he said. "I did invite it, after all. Well, I'm sure a kindly soul such as yourself would be welcome to visit our lands any time."

"I must admit I have not had the pleasure of visiting the Phoenix lands, though someday I do hope I might see the famous Isawa libraries," he commented conversationally. "Is it true that all the wisdom of the world is written down there?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

Oubaihime nodded. "Many things are kept in the Library in Kyuden Isawa but if you are searching for more insight I could recommend the libraries off the Asako. They are quite scholarly."

[Kitsuki Kiyonobu]

"Really?" Kiyonobu said, his interest obviously piqued. "You refer to the libraries of Morning Glory castle? I have heard the Asako are very learned. Have you been there, then? What are they like?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Well I have... just to learn some remedies that were written down in one of the libraries." She lower her head in shame. "Sadly I didn't see much we were just there for that. But the Asako that I met were very friendly."
