Genji sat with a happy smile, nursing his cup of shochu, in case anyone wanted to join him. [PM plz] Having spoken just after her, the Stag prince had caught Kawauso's attention as she looked grumpily at Team Tea. She smiled at his easygoing style. Moving over to sit beside him, giving sort of a ha...

Inspired by her cat friend, and rather against her better judgement, Akodo Kawauso made an appearance at the discourse event. She was rather glad that she did, after seeing the overwrought and almost ludicrous arguments for tea over wine. Such foolishness would not go unchallenged... The Lion was no...

Kawauso giggles. "Being ladylike won't keep you warm," she jokes, moving to give the smaller woman a little shelter from the wind with her taller frame. "Let's get both of us warmed up." The image, as they head indoors, is a bit like a sheepdog shepherding a child, as Kawauso stays close to the Cran...

Kawauso's eye is somewhat pulled away by the little otter, but after a couple of moments of watching Chuuen she refocuses. "I think something shared may be ideal, although..." Kawauso looks grumpy. "That's not the request that dad sent with me. He wants more authority: to just chase them wherever th...

The Lion perks up, smiling in satisfaction. "Of course, I can say that. But I won't. Won't get bored I mean. It'll be fascinating," Kawauso says warmly. The Lion looks around as the wind continues to make nuisance of itself. "I think, Doji-san, I have spent enough time outside for today. I was out e...

Kawauso looked a little crestfallen at the change in tone. She had gotten used to the inventor being talkative, and the Lion worried she'd somehow broken something. "Well, I really am," she says honestly, showing flickers of excitement. "But, you know... they're your things. You don't... you don't n...

The cold and wet Dragon was warming herself by one of the fires, and as she put her hands to her mouth to warm them there seemed to be vague hints of flames at the corners. "Achoo!" "Erm, Dragonnnn-sama," the Akodo inquires as she approaches, really unsure what she's seeing but looking at it with t...

"Wha... Every month? And a dozen just with you here?" Kawauso's curiosity makes her eyes wide in wonder, and the nervousness she had been holding onto drifts away as she starts trying to think of what these things could be. "You'll, show them to me?" The Lion says, being a bit forward as she literal...

There's a moment of a warm smile at the thought -- then reference to a contract, and Kawauso's eyes go wide in horror. "Oh, no, no, I mean, I just..." Her hands wave in front of her to somehow help slow things down. "I'm not... hoping , or anything, but just... When there's a wedding, it's natural t...

Kawauso notices the change of topic but says nothing about it. "I think Lord Akodo probably talks about such things with people who see him more often. I have never seen him, and I think my father has met him less than five times. I really only know that he is one of the fallen gods and he is teachi...

Kawauso makes a face like a grumpy otter, one that Ayano has seen plenty of times around school, triggered by various topics. "But Makime-sama," the river girl politely but firmly objects. "You just said we could be living some new legend. A great bear that's not hibernating... I think you are right...

After her demonstration, Kawauso observed the various participants and circled through the small crowd. At one point, having seen the cold and frustrated Dragon with the ethereal look who she'd been hoping to run into earlier, Kawauso seeks her out.

Do big white bears hibernate in Shiba-gan? Or is momma bear behaving really normal for this time of year?

Kawauso processes Ayano's point slowly, but it does register and finally she says, "My friend makes a good point." After being brought back to the bear, Kawauso shares, "It was a mother bear, with cubs in a nearby cave. We stayed away from the immediate vicinity of the cave, and that seemed to be to...

The Lion smiles a little, then nods. "I'm, ah, happy to help, Doji-san."

Kawauso thinks for a moment. "Do you come up with new things... often? I guess not that often, if you're usually working on... infrastructure," she says, saying the word very intentionally, like it's not a familiar one to her.

Kawauso gives another gentle rub in response to the sighs. "Between us, we can figure this out, hm? You said you would like a match like your father. Does that mean you are like your mother?" The Lion woman wonders aloud.

Kawauso closes her eyes, looking embarrassed as she remembers the scratch and realizes what Kotsume is thinking. "We didn't end up killing anything," she leads with, knowing k Kotsume is even more defensive of the natural world than she herself. "And the scratch was a skinny twig on a tree that I di...

Kawauso freezes for a moment in surprise, but after a hesitation gently places a hand on her friend's shoulder. "I suppose it reminds us that marriage catches up with most of us sooner or later?" She chuckles and gives a gentle, unthinking rub to Sasori's shoulder, as she might if Shino had been the...

The Lion looks a little unsure, but she leans a little closer and bumps shoulders with the Scorpion. "Very well. I have great trust in my lucky cat." Kawauso sighs. "I think I must give you something with which to make a match, and I..." She shakes her head. "I have never given much thought to needi...

Hey guys, Sadly, I just don't think I have the spoons to keep going this time around. My life's going through a lot of change, and unfortunately by the time I sit down at my PC each night, I just don't have the energy to post. I was really looking forward to this game, but with where I'm at right n...
