"Don't get too ahead of yourself. That'd be in a world where I was married off to some Scorpion." Koemi crossed her arms in thought. It wasn't something that she ever wanted but she was in a contemplative mood. Maybe the Moshi was rubbing off on her. "I guess a Soshi would be my top choice."

“Oooooh marriage? Why a Soshi? Do you like them because they’re mysterious? I heard their home is kind of depressing and they never host anyone. Do you think you’d be a good scorpion?”

"Oh no, that would be ever so rude! Even the Scorpion don't deserve to be insulted like that."
Whispering conspiratorially
"We must keep it between ourselves."

[Yoritomo Koemi]

"No, no, I meant the whole flair thing with your hands and whatnot. It doesn't specifically have to be for the Scorpion."

"...But I always move my hands when I get excited, see."
Meiko did indeed move her hands when she was excited....which was often

"I see." Koemi scratched the back of her head. "Is that... appropriate in court? I thought we were meant to be poised all the time to the point of covering ourselves with fans."

"Oh, but that's why you carry a fan, so if you're moving your hands all the time nobody can see, because of the fan."
