No room at the inn (D0 LE expecting/ask)

[Bayushi Shitoru]

"I have no arguement, time is important. Perhaps i can use mine instead."

Perhaps the Fuzake is a bit pretty, who knows?

[Shosuro Himeko]

"I'm not your lord Bayushi-san, just an equal member of this wonderful journey we are taking together. If you believe she requires a delicate touch than I can take the time to speak with her. If you believe you are sufficiently able to handle it, I would say any truth in her vision would require a warrior more than a courtier to handle" Himeko offered with a small shrug "I would consider how much attention it does need, but you do seem to have the woman in your mind. She had a certain look about her that makes her memorable, don't you think?"

[Bayushi Shitoru]

"As you know, we are those who often create our own air of mystery", he said with a nod to the lady. "And when we see it in others, I feel we fall upon it harder than most, allowing instinct to react rather than the rational mind."

He shrugged. "So I am aware of her, aye. Though I realize myself the issue, and will keep the matter plain in knowing it." He looked at her now. "Our circles will most like run different in Crab lands, but do not hesitate should you have need of my blade, or simply my company."

[Shosuro Himeko]

"I see wisdom in your thought process. do keep me informed Bayushi-san, I'm curious where this may lead you. I'm no warrior, but I'm no Doji flower either. Test me and you may be surprised about the mysteries I hold close" Himeko moved her gaze to meet his "and do let me know if my company can be of assistance. It always pleases me to assist a kin in their duties. I truly enjoy it, and I enjoy your company also, Shitoru-kun."

[Bayushi Shitoru]

This rascal of a woman.

Shitoru averted his gaze with a seated bow, but when he looked back up to her his mask shifted, a grin no doubt by the words spoken after.

"Himeko-chan is most enjoyable as well, surely if her time allows this humble one will seek such attention."

[Shosuro Himeko]

"Good. I'm glad to hear it, as I do intend to call upon you during this gathering" Himeko smiled sweetly, bringing her pipe to her lips without looking away from him "and I would hope it will be answered with a smile rather than a frown. I'm not an awful woman, I assure you. There are plenty I would categorize among our kin as awful after all."

[Bayushi Shitoru]

"Assuming any level of awfulness is beyond this one's ken of women" , Shitoru offered. "Yet Himeko-chan's words suggest I should be wary, hmm?" He folded his arms, then shrugged. "This one would not in effort deny a request. We all have our reasoning for matters at hand, no?"

[Shosuro Himeko]

Himeko chuckled.

"Wary of little me? I'm sure you're perfectly safe" she gave him a teasing grin "but hai, there are many things happening in the future which may require both of our attention. One does not need to be a prophet to predict that. I'm certain that you'll be prepared though."

She peered back out to the fields one last time before looking back to Shitoru.

The hour grows late, and while the Sparrow have been wonderful hosts I wish to resume my travels again early, so I think I'll turn in for the night. Thank you for the lovely company" she bowed to the man.

[Bayushi Shitoru]

"My thanks for the privilege of your company in turn", a bow of his own. "Pleasant dreams."

And Shitoru stood, taking his leave.

[Shosuro Himeko]

"Sleep well" Himeko offered with a bow, watching the man leave as she smoked her pipe.

"Interesting fellow. Useful to have around" she commented idly to herself as she finally rose to return to her tent to sleep.
