''Shu is fearless...only startled.'' He did feel sympathy for that statement ''Yes, home. A place of familiarity soothes the wary mind I hear. Did you have trouble sleeping while in the capital Akodo-san?'' "Maybe at first, Wu-sama? I think... not generally, but I have... I think had too many thing...

She gives a light chuckle. "I, ah, have been thinking too much about things here to look that far ahead. But I know I'll have to report to my father about the river authority issue. The Emperor seemed favorable to joint operations between Lion and Ki-rin, and although that isn't my father's first ch...

"My hope, Nozomi-san?" The Lion looks thoughtful. "I am not sure. I..." She exhales heavily. "I hope that I can make sense of this," she says, a little exasperated. "I, um... My parent's marriage," she says quietly, "didn't... work out. And my father has never spoken of me marrying. It, um... It fee...

"Then you will have the opportunity to learn, yes? And perhaps next time when I have the opportunity to visit the lands of the Lion, you can show me what you've learned?" Satsuki offered with a smile to Kawauso. There's a mixture of cheer and terror on Kawauso's face as she thinks about a visit fro...

He nods slowly ''Our very dreams will soon be under siege'' he frowns ''All the more reasons to try and have good ones'' "Shu is trying to set a good example for us," Kawauso says, not really based on anything the red panda is doing. "And, um, for some of us, getting home may help. Dreams in a stra...

The revelation makes Kawauso's eyes go wide and her face pale. "But... So, when... When I... touched ..." Her hand waves toward the items, very faintly, as if believing they somehow might attack her if she got too close. As more information fits into this framework she now has, Kawauso looks even pa...

"Nya" She kept her cat form and jumped on Kawauso's shoulder. "Nya" She licked her face.

Kawauso heaved a deep breath. Her heart still loud in her ears, she whispered, "You are going to make this up to me."

Kawauso takes her time to process all she's heard, and seems at one point like she might be getting ready to leave, but she stays where she is and, licking her lips, answers the question. "Uh, when I came to the capital, I had really given the topic no thought at all. Between my schooling and servic...

"Akodo-san, Yoshitsune-san, you two really are the best performances of the evening. I think we're all incredibly pleased with how you've both made this evening more enjoyable with your talents..." Kawauso, called back from her self-exile to the dark side of the hall, is dumb struck at the announce...

Zhe smiles as he is reminded once more how shy the lioness truly is. ''Shu does enjoy the attention'' he replied as he looked down to the snoring fluffball ''But he does tire easily at this hour'' Kawauso laughs, in an obviously genuine way, thankful for the humor. "I'm sure he's, ah, had a trying ...

"Well, and as we do, to also remind others that no warrior is strong if the farmer can't feed him. My 'luxury' as a warrior is made possible by those who are especially skilled in the many things I need not learn because they will support me. They can do that because I protect them, and I can protec...

Kawauso's eyes close as Kotsume speaks, and there's a slightly harsh exhale as the hand lands on her shoulder, but she doesn't pull away. It seems more like... something unlocked. When Kotsume stops talking, Kawauso takes a slow, deep breath. "So, um..." She opens her eyes, and Kotsume can see there...

Kawauso smiles. "You are a good friend... Wait," she realizes what she'd heard before that. The bear.

"Sasori-san," she whispers urgently. "Are you sure about this? I mean..." It's apparent she's worried about her friend getting eaten.

"Thank you, Nozomi-san. I, um. I am not sure exactly how to ask..." She sits, her cloak adequate against the snow for someone used to being outdoors. "I, um..." She starts again, nervously. "I have been... thinking... about the possibility," she seems to take a deep breath, "that I may not... marry....

Kawauso really wanted to support her friend's game. And she had just been learning some calligraphy, and was excited to start using it. Learning can be so useful and fun , she thought. Then she tried to decipher the first clue. And was totally lost. Frustrated, she took some deep breaths, then looke...

"Only so much you can do," Kawauso echoes, gradually returning to a more fully awake state. She looks curiously at the bag, and then very curiously at the various things laid on the table. She looks over them silently, occasionally touching one to feel the texture, her face then turning more deeply ...

Kawauso listens with rapt attention, the Dragon's plan striking near her heart. "That is... so true. And wise. I... I have thought similar things, in terms of the highest priorities being food security and shelter... I am not so educated about it all as you clearly are, but... It's very nice to hear...

The dragon farmer and the napping Shu approached the lioness not too long after her performance ''That was well sung Akodo-san'' he bowed ''You are quite talented'' There's a gulp of breath as Kawauso freezes. "Ahem. Uh, Wu-sama. Thank you," she stammers, hoping no redness of eyes or cheeks is visi...

Kawauso tries to look serious for a moment. "For court, actually... When I need to talk about fishing," she barely gets the words out before starting to giggle. "Well, I am not the best but I can try to show you how at least how to bat your wings." Sasori smile. "Well, you know more than this silly...
