(D1, EA) Dining Imperiously

[Kitsu Murato]

"How many can they fit on the rivers before they just have to build a wooden floor over them all?" He asks with a smile. "I would think space is a pretty big limitation for the Otter."

[Seppun Yuzu]

"In fact, it is. I am wondering how to boost their representation at the Minor Clan Embassy and the Empire. Otter people would be pleased to hear." Yuzu confirms, putting pun over pun without cracking a single smile.

[Kitsu Murato]

"Odder things have happened in this world," he said with a nod. "Seeing their fortunes rise would likely be a boon."

[Seppun Yuzu]

Odder selection of words from the Lion makes Yuzu take a pause to contain a potential laugh. With a deep breath, he accepts being bested, and adds, "I've met their heir. Usogawa Emiko-hime."

[Kitsu Murato]

"As have I," he nods, though he hadn't been aware she was the heir of the champion. "We've shared some music with each other, and wil be doing so again later. She is quite a skilled musician."

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Is she?" He suddenly gets very interested and leans a bit forward, "I suck at that. Big time. What did she play?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"She plays the flute," he says. "I'm partial to the shamisen, but the two complement each other. She is a fan of shogi though, if you were interested in an activity you may speak over."

[Seppun Yuzu]

"I also tend to be a complete imbecile while playing game. Go figure. Guess I'll have to find other affinities." He mentions, and then corrects, "I mean, if I am required to chat with her again. Don't get me wrong."

[Kitsu Murato]

Murato nodded. "Of course. It may just be easier to avoid speaking with people at the miai. But, if you find you must, perhaps Otter topics like swimming or boating might interest."

[Seppun Yuzu]

The boy cocks his head back and crosses arms in front of his chest. He would smirk, but he does not. "That is a very useful advice, Kitsu-san. I will that in mind and tell how it went, an Otter time."

With that, he provides a bow, takes his cup and leaves with a, "I hope the Kami light your path. We'll talk again."

/exit if not stopped.
