At the mention of the spider, her head bobs. "It is one of the families of the Spider, yes. The family named for our patron Kami, Hisomu."

Her eyes find the face that produced the unfamiliar voice. The young samurai offers a smile. "It is quite the difference indeed. I have not been so blessed to experience hot springs before today. I must admit that I am finding it an unexpected blessing." A pause, and a bow of her head, before she co...

Ayeka was, similarly to Viveki, not terribly used to the whole tradition of hot springs. She hadn't lived terribly close to them, and as such the idea of them was somewhat new and foreign. Unlike the gaijin, however, she did not seem overly concerned about the whole matter. It was good enough for Sh...

One Hisomu Ayeka makes her way into the reception. Her finest black kimono, a spider web motif starting from the bottom hem and climbing to her neck, and a fine jingasa holding a sheer veil that only partially disguised her features.

You're only as old as you feel...
