A Evening Gathering (Day 3 Mid Evening)

[Otomo Saisei]

"I would have been honored to say my mother, or my sister, as Tsuruchi-sama did. Yet, I sadly cannot remember how she looked liked. I was too young when they set off this world." He says, trying to hold up a smile.

After another sip, he says, "I'll take Tsuruchi-sama's perception of the moment of most beauty that may surpass that of the natural ones which our hearts race when nearby. Our sitting Empress Oturi the First. At the moment she looked at me and smiled granting her graces so I would live to be who I am today."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

That will be something to treat carefully, Yuuwaku thinks.

"Who praises not Her Majesty, long may She reign, is no true samurai," she says. "Perhaps we will someday be so blessed as to be in the Imperial Presence. Perhaps."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"That would be a wonder, wouldn't it." Shouji agreed with a smile. "I have been to the Imperial city, though I have to admit my exploration there had been limited.

[Otomo Saisei]

The Otomo nods to both, and adds, "Perhaps one day we can all meet there. If Heavens so wish, I could be able to show you more."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Time will well." Though meeting one person he knew was difficult enough. Two from different clans at the same time was a much more daunting task.
