(D2, MM) Waiting in Line (Event Observation)

[Shiba Raizo]

Now there goes a guy who's just having a shitty week...

[Kaito Oubaihime]

An angry Mantis stomped his way out of Pei-Pei's chamber and down the hall, angrily muttering something about 'Half a legacy.'.

Oubaihime saw the angry man and couldn't help it. She called out. "Mantis sama..." She had followed the man.

[Kaikoga Fujiko]

Fujiko all but stumbled out of the meeting, standing as upright as she could, a hand covered by her sleeve over her mouth.

Yes, that's it. Prim and proper. That's the difference between a demure lady, and a dying lady. People usually want the former, not the later.

She nodded as politely as she could while hurrying in front of the line of other marriage prospects waiting for their turn, and went further down the hall until she found a folding screen. She took as dainty a step as she could behind it, then, protected by the social understanding that what happens behind a folding screen remains behind that folding screen, began to cough her lungs out, only slightly figuratively.

"Oh... sweet Jurojin... please..." she whispered, no, prayed, trying to regain her breath.

[Hiroto]

An angry Mantis stomped his way out of Pei-Pei's chamber and down the hall, angrily muttering something about 'Half a legacy.'.

Oubaihime saw the angry man and couldn't help it. She called out. "Mantis sama..." She had followed the man.

He did stop at the hail, and turn towards the person who called out to him.

"Yes....Phoenix-san?" he said, clearly riled.

No bow, no introduction. Hiroto truly was a model Mantis.....a model of an angry one at least who wasn't thinking about social niceties at the moment.

"I know this one is intruding... demoooo... I would like you to know that it doesn't matter what happened in there... You should always breathe."She centered herself. "Would you breathe with this one?" She placed her hands together as if in prayer or in begging to the man.

[Hiroto]

It was such an out of left field request, it caught Hiroto off-guard.

"I....guess?" he said. He wasn't sure what she was expecting, but he complied with her request.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

It was such an out of left field request, it caught Hiroto off-guard.

"I....guess?" he said. He wasn't sure what she was expecting, but he complied with her request.

She nodded and smiled. The Kaito made a motion so the Mantis could follow her rhythm in breathing. The girl inhaled keeping the breath for a par of seconds then let it out the mouth slowly in a calming motion. She repeated a few times the exercise in hope that the Mantis would calm down.

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

On his way out, Hikimasu heard coughing, nearly stopped, but decided he also needed to get out instead of making someone's bad situation worse.

[Saibankan]

It was such an out of left field request, it caught Hiroto off-guard.

"I....guess?" he said. He wasn't sure what she was expecting, but he complied with her request.

It took awhile, but his fire did seem to die down after awhile of following the Kaito.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

It took awhile, but his fire did seem to die down after awhile of following the Kaito.

"Are you better now, Mantis sama?" Oubaihime tilted her head to examine the man and his softened features. "This one is Kaito Oubaihime of the Phoenix clan... I hope you practice this exercise when you feel that your fire is taking over your body."
