"I present this humble offering in honor of the kindness of Sanaharu-kun, for he inspires me so," the man replied warmly displaying his own work once the flowers were neatly placed down.

He said to Yuuwaku, "Not long, sadly, if I had known such ladies of quality were near I would have come sooner, alas I must make the most of this fleeting moment."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku's fan finds her hand and opens slightly, waving in front of her face.

"This one is flattered to be in the company of those here," she says. "But their grace and might is such that even such a pale reflection of it as this one might offer is much, indeed."

[Asahina Sanaharu]

"Oh, Doji-kun," replying with san would be awkward now, "you are the most talented and kind. This is a gift I deserve not."
He makes his own thing, almost at the same quality as the mysterious Doji's. Overall it had a message of friendship and happiness for the groom and bride.

OoC: I saw that you pre-rolled Ichika's and Yuahime's so I followed

[Dapper Dog]

She enjoyed the activity and produced her own ikebana display and said, "This is highly enjoyable."

[Oturi Yuahime]

Yuahime produced a display as well but it was very amateurish.

"Oh, Doji-kun," replying with san would be awkward now, "you are the most talented and kind. This is a gift I deserve not."

"So modest, it is for your kindness and acceptance, surely that is worthy of recognition," the man responded.

[Asahina Sanaharu]

"But just today I gave one who asked so crude of a meal instead one prepared and carefully made. How could this be kind, Doji-kun?"

[Dapper Dog]

"But just today I gave one who asked so crude of a meal instead one prepared and carefully made. How could this be kind, Doji-kun?"

"There is nothing crude about Sanaharu-kun, he is quite pleasant, and this one will hear no such thing otherwise. I pray he sees himself as this one does and sees that he is quite worthy of this display," he said in reply.

"It was a most tasty meal."

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

Something called to Hanatsuko to go to the Blue Bird, be her Kitsune descent or her Falcon blood. Was she in Yume-do? The crowned heir, the Hida champion, the Magestic mr Fox...She blinked a few times before giving the appropriate bow. "Forgive this one intrusion." She kept her head low.

[Asahina Sanaharu]

"With such great compliments, Doji-kun, this one finds hard to deny your words. Your gift is the most adorable, the pending balance is admirable. It is with honor and much gratitude that I accept your gift."

He approaches carefully the arrangement to himself, a balance found in the hands of an artist, admiring the little thing. "I'm also thankful that you enjoyed your meal. It's great that the Crab served their guests with such good food." He smiles slightly to Ichika, but his attention is ultimately caught by the Falcon.

"Oh, Toritaka-san! Have you eaten your portion of rice today?"

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"I have, Asahina sama." She continued to keep her bow. She kept her answers short due to present company.
So many lovely ladies. An Fantastic Mr Fox... looks quite handsome. Maybe you should tell the story about some hungry Kitsunes that would eat other people's souls.

"Eh..."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku, far from her usual dancer's grace, struggles to compose something with the flower (12). She struggles greatly, in fact, so much so that she ends up breaking more than one of the stems as she tries to arrange things.

Somewhat sheepishly, she says "There is clearly more study and practice needed."

But she marks the Falcon's arrival and the exchange between Sanaharu and Kojimasu.

[Asahina Sanaharu]

"Be the most welcome, Toritaka-san, you are our guest. Are you in search of someone? Doji Kintaro-sama I have not seen today, neither Kakita-bugyo. Last time I saw Masao-ue, he was on his rooms, and Daidoji Yushoko-sama, in direction of the Bronze Castle."

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"I don't really know why I am here..." She looked at the Doji and blinked a few times. "Do I know you?

[Dapper Dog]

"I don't really know why I am here..." She looked at the Doji and blinked a few times. "Do I know you?

"I don't know you, Toritaka-san, and it seems rude to just stumble in here during our beautiful session," he responded.

OOC: It's a spirit.

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"When the calling is made even when it is unknown of origin one must respond." Hanatsuko explained. "One must help friends and try to see if the intentions of new acquaintances are for their wellbeing or naught." She turned to Sanaharu. "Asahina sama, I didn't meant to interrupt perhaps I can join you in this lesson. Today. I seem to be in an artistic mood."

[Asahina Sanaharu]

Oh but I know.

"Me, Yuuwaku-senpai, Hida-no-kimi and Oturi-denka were making ikebanas for lady Yushoko and lord Yoji."

He closes his eyes for a moment.

"When you visit someone, Toritaka-san, etiquette says that you bring together a letter and hand it out for a servant in the entrance. The servant shall then find and deliver the letter to their lord. To stumble upon our stay house like this... I assumed you were invited."

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"Can I try then?" then she felt a bit scolded by the Asahina. She is not quite grasping etiquette mandates and just basic knowledge. "I will keep that in mind, Asahina sama."

[Dapper Dog]

"I suppose it is an honest mistake, what do you think Sanaharu-kun?" he asked.

[Asahina Sanaharu]

Well, you seemed cultured enough until now. But perhaps I just place too much faith in people.

"You may," he answers simple.

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

She was polite enough to have asked for forgiveness. Hopefully the Fantastic Mr Fox won't eat the Asahina's soul just yet. Spiritual callings never give papers to give to servants She sighed.

He is quite the handsome fox... but aren't them all... You remember that time mom took us to Kitsune Mori and you found the den where father and her met... Maybe you can ameliorate what happened here...
"I... I... thank you Asahina sama. I... I will try my best."

She started choosing the flowers and carefully placed them in a most interesting array.

[Oturi Yuahime]

"Oh that is fantastic Toritaka-san, well done," Yuahime said with with a pleasant smile.

"You have a great talent for this."

[Asahina Sanaharu]

"Marvelous, truly, it even reminded me of what my fellow artisans make." And Sanaharu was not one to compliment like this often.

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"I was inspired by present company, Oturi ue." She bowed to crowned princess. She looked at Fantastic Mr Fox. "And my travels to Kitsune Mori." She added. "I hope you have seen its magical splendor in your travels."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku nods.

"Impressive, indeed, Toritaka-san!"

Masao is such a lucky man! she thinks.
