"Uh, no, Togashi-sama," the Lion says with a chuckle. "This is not for beginners. I could rescue you from that water, but it wouldn't be easy or pleasant for either of us," she says, very seriously. "Perhaps we start small, like with the hot springs?" Kawauso says in a kind voice, although her eyes...

Any of them likely to care about the tall girl that caught three fish with one spear throw? And yes it was thrown, with a chord to recover it if needed, and I only didn't use the throwing emphasis because you don't demonstrate doing it the hard way for people who don't know how to do it the easy wa...

"Good point. Sometimes for Duty, sometimes to protect others..but fun is certainly a part of it." He smiled "Hai, getting tired in a good way.." Hearing her words back might echo something to Kawauso, as it seemed the words seemed to sink in for Genji. "Ah, yes yes, I quite understand. You are here...

Kawauso's mouth hangs open, words completely escaping her. But her immediate reaction is to hug Sasori, letting that be a start.

"That's... Sasori-san, I'm so sorry. Can... Why is Lord Bayushi not telling you?"

Kawauso looks again like she's unhappily confiding in Ayano. "This is not a thing my father ever discusses, unless it's the rare mention of my brother needing to marry. I... have never heard him talk about a marriage for me, even in... theory ." She looks around unhappily. "Around here, marriages ar...

Kawauso's demeanor also changes, turning protective. The knees pulled to chest position reminds her of Kotsu-chan when she'd be scared when they were younger. The Lion's face is mostly curious, looking to understand the problem before it can be solved. She immediately slides around the table and int...

Wingnut requests: Any Scorpion, Stag, or Crane up for a no-to-low -stakes thread with an inquisitive 12 year old? Any Dragon, Spider, or monks up for a comparable thread with her sister? I already have foul and nefarious schemes for their seven-year-old brother making things awkward elsewhere... Is...

Fuel up, Birbmaster! Game is great. I'm having a lot of fun.

Seconding this sentiment entirely!

Since Doji Misaki and Akodo Kawauso literally talked about the Crane trying things on the Lion, I want to clarify: the event as written is for any individuals and no actual teams (or at least no PC teams) are being formed, right? Because Kawauso would be a killer model, but she ain't designing anyth...

The taller Lion shows no reaction to Ayano's posture or smile. "Makime-sama," she says, business-like. "You are... often... better informed than me about... things." Kawauso clearly doesn't love having to ask her fellow student for help like this. "I'm just... trying to understand something. And you...

"Pair? Oh, she has three. Mmm, but the young one maybe isn't trained to fish yet? I should have paid more attention this morning." After a pause, a brief look of self-irritation, she waves that away. "But yes, swimming. In the spring, or this summer perhaps. If your kind father permits, of course. B...

"Ah, well, you certainly didn't stop when you plowed into the opponent. I think you got disqualified because both of you ended up outside the ring." He smiled widely at the thought. "I hope you at least had some fun?" The war between proud and embarrassed continues on Kawauso's face, but pride gain...

"It was..." she thinks back over the eventful day and the attention she had been receiving. "Ummm..." She seems to be genuinely unsure what to say.

Without really thinking about it, she starts to pour tea. "Honestly, I think the day may have been, um, more than I know what to do with..."

"Same here Akodo-san." Genji replied with an easy smile. He eyed her cup, and was a bit surprised at her sudden leave, but well, he knew how to behave properly. "Have a nice walk Akodo-san. Let's talk tomorrow, or the day after, if that works." "Yes, absolutely," she says, pausing anxiously. "In th...

"Eh, don't worry." Genji plopped down into a seat next to Kawauso. "We didn't really make the rules and details that much visible, so don't worry about it." He let out a sigh, and glanced at some of his bruises. "That is the way of the river, neh? Quite impressive." "Oh, um, thank you, Hantei-sama,...

"Sounds like a fair bargain to me. If Akodo-san is interested, I can show her the basics of what I call poetry, and my sister calls mockery of poetry?" He finished his cup, and put it aside. It seemed like he was glowing. Maybe he actually was. "Uh, of course, Hantei-sama. I'm happy to learn what y...

A sweaty Genji, still half-naked approached Kawauso. "Akodo-san, nicely done. Better than my showing. A bit unorthodox though. I don't think we have codified that kind of throw yet, over the shoulder." Looking at Genji, Kawauso turns bright red. "Ummm... Thank you, Hantei-sama," she says nervously....

After her successful but "unconventional" contribution to the matches, Kawauso sat with a cup of water over somewhat away from the other observers. She seems to be sulking, but also trying to see other matches to better understand where she'd gone wrong. ------------ Please pm or quote if approaching.

Kawauso was feeling like maybe she knew what she was doing here. In the castle, courtly stuff... But probably not sumai. She'd heard it was about hitting people and standing tough, like the river and the mountain, and that made sense. But maybe a different kind of sense to a river girl than to the t...
