Yay for new Sasori art.

Boo for playing other people's characters. But as of right now, reprising Kawauso? Totally down for that. She's a cavalcade of craziness and it's been great.

Sasori shook her head. "I am still a bit sore from the play." She took her fan out. "I am sorry to have asked you to improvise like that..." She lowered her head in shame. "I felt abandoned and thank you for being a friend." Kawauso, looking relieved, quite improperly wraps her arms around Sasori's...

"Mochiron." Says Kinsen opening a smile. After a moment, she asks, "Is Akodo-san already betrothed?

"Ap, uh, no, Hantei-sama," the Lion says, caught off guard. Feeling her cheeks redden at the question, she looks down and avoids eye contact while trying to ask, "Um, why, uh, do you ask?"

A certain tall Lion samurai-ko, carrying her spear more as a walking stick -- or a meditative focus item -- happens to one of her favorite spaces along the river, and finds human and red panda already there. "Good afternoon, Dragon-san," she says kindly, remembering tio pay more attention to the hum...

"Akodo sama..." She gave a seated bow. "I slept well. I hope Inari has blessed you this morning." Her voice a bit cold yet friendly to the Akodo girl. Kawauso looks at the Scorpion skeptically, used to a more chipper response from her friend. She slides over to sit a little closer and speak in a mo...

"I guess respectable wouldn't be good enough not to embarrass me in front of dear children if I am ever required to defend our Clan." She chuckles, " Continuous and improvements are things I am fond of, though." "I imagine that those unwise children might still be impressed by courage and ferocity,...

Akodo Kawauso, as part of the host team, provides a demonstration of the various steps of the exercise. As a student of the Makime, there is... a not insignificant amount of pressure associated with representing the school. The series of challenges are taxing, even for line trained in the Makime sch...

Kinsen bows back to Kawauso and then winces at her comment. "It was a disaster, wasn't it?" The Lion gives a single chuckle and takes a step closer to Kinsen to speak in a softer voice. "Hantei-sama, you clearly have the skills. The Makime style is not so much meant to be mastered as to provide opp...

After completing the race rather faster than she expected thanks to Ryu-kun's enthusiasm, Kawauso left the pony to be fed and watered and headed to the spectator area. Genji was there after his schrodinger's race. The tall Lion waved and smiled, much more comfortable seeing him here than in the meet...

Kawauso, having bonded with Ryu-kun the day before, decided to ride in her sister's planned race. She didn't expect to do well, as she had no skill for riding, but she made a noble effort. For his part, Ryu-kun was ready to run with Kawauso--he clearly remembered her affection and calling him the be...

"How did I do?" Asks Kinsen with a very confident face. "Ah, Hantei Kinsen-sama," Kawauso says, bowing then focusing her attention on the Stag Queen. "How did you do?" She asks a little loudly, triggering a servant behind the imposing woman to wave that it was less than spectacular. "I think, Hante...

Her turn on the stage complete, Akodo Kawauso joined the crowd. She seemed to be looking for someone in particular after Chizu's presentation, but in the meantime looked perfectly accessible and was smiling pleasantly. -------- Please PM or quote if approaching, just know Kawauso may step away to ch...

Quick thinking was not Akodo Kawauso's strong suit, especially by the end of a long day. But the options before her, mostly all terrible, made her path exquisitely clear in her mind. She was no actor, but she would save the play. Rising from her seat, the athletic woman bounded to pick up the cat, t...

Though relaxing, Kawauso is not unaware. Once one layer is of the Scorpion, it's clear in her eyes that hers will soon follow.

Kawauso, surrounded by illustrious company addressing something very important and beyond her understanding, essentially melts into the background. She's happy to see these people that she knows and trusts, and terrified of what they're talking about.

Kawauso, herself relieved at the distraction, makes no move of her own. She sees Ayano's tension, biting her lip as she tries to think of some reassurance she can give.

The taller Lion samurai-ko was in attendance as well, acting as Ayano's assistant but also rather unsubtly keeping an eye on her during the pressures of hosting an event that was so important to the Makime school. She largely tried to run interference, answering technical questions and keeping the g...

Kawauso looks down, embarrassed.

"No, samas, I... I have noticed nothing remarkable in my dreams." Her cheeks turn a bit red.

"I, um, have only noticed the great bear as being out of what I presume is ordinary here..."

"YES," Kawauso says immediately. "I want to see all the things," she says with a slightly giggly smile. As soon as Misaki turns for her next item, the Lion claps lightly. "Yes, heehee, more."

The Lion smiles as Yatsu talks about the fulfillment of just bonding with people. But as he begins to speak of the spirit realms, her eyes grow wide. Her expression is a combination of polite and incredulous. "I, uh... Saru-san, that is... impressive. I know little of the spirit realms, and to conte...
