At mention of the party, one hand comes immediately to Kawauso's face and she bends forward -- probably startling Shino -- looking somewhat like she was struck with something. "Oh, Bayushi-san, I... I don't know what happened!" She shakes her head in wonder. "I was feeling sad about the party, then ...

"You are very interesting, Doji Misaki-san," the taller woman says matter-of-factly, though the curious otter-like eyes are still in strong effect. "Your work with... the word... infrastructure ," she says with energy as she remembers it. "This reminds me of my friend, Makime Ayano-sama, who works w...

Kawauso looks overwhelmed by the praise, especially coming from an Imperial and a clearly regal Stag. She bows deeply in thanks for the compliments, her "Arigato gozaimasu" loud enough but slightly garbled as she speaks it to the ground. As she straightens her face still shows a touch of embarrassme...

Kawauso smiles and nods politely at the belated introduction. Her eyes narrow a bit in curiosity, like an otter spotting something shiny bobbing in the water. "I like the way of your introduction, Misaki-san of the Crane. Is it to respect that you were not born a Crane, like I was not born a Lion? I...

The Lion smiles pleasantly at the enthusiasm, although the detailed explanation is really rather beyond her. Still the Crane is nice to look at, and the ear muffs do look useful if they could be kept in place. "Your, um, writing board needs a cord, maybe a small string, to lash the papers down. Like...

...she agreed, turning to the Akodo and leaning in to almost put a hand on her shoulder, stopping just short. Samurai were touchy, and she was Lion. "Well done, Akodo-sama. This could have been very different. There is bravery in discretion and wisdom." Kawauso, who isn't a very proper Lion (or sam...

For her part, the kid of the team had taken a knee in the snow and was focused mostly on calming her heart. All this talk of offspring wasn't of much interest to Kawauso, but not interfering with the natural world sounded much better than trying to fight it. After a time she used her spear haft to r...

Sensing the will of the team, Kawauso relaxed her spear and very slowly stepped a bit forward and reached out an open hand... Just do whatever Kotsu-chan would do , she thinks, trying to reach into the mind of the bear as much as a regular human can do. ----- Animal handling roll: 53 is pretty good ...

Kawauso smiles, content enough in Kotsume's answer. She takes a couple of quick bites before responding. "80 feet is very solid," the taller woman says, business-like, continuing to take quick bites between sentences as she really was quite hungry and had no hesitation about Kotsume seeing it. "Beat...

'' One should give compliments when they are deserved, Stag-san.'' The fox chuckled a bit behind the mask. '' In any case, the intentionality and the spirit is what matters, at least in this fox's opinion.'' He added. then he took a pause to observe the ball and its surroundings. '' This one assume...

Doubtful. Skill 1, Awr 3. With void would be 5k4+5 though.

Meaning assist the roll or just be ready to rush in if she tries to bite you?
Kawauso had Animal Handling 1 and definitely supports not stabbing any critters we don't have to.

"Good morning, Shino-san," she says pleasantly to the cat as they move along. She doesn't groan as she sits down, or otherwise indicate that she's sore, but once seated there seems to be a relaxing deflation, like she was much more tense just walking than would be normal. Without giving it any thoug...

Kawauso looks at her strangely, or rather, at the eat Myra strangely, but steps forward tio take the board and papers. "Of course, ah, Crane-san," she says kindly but slightly suspiciously. "Your, um, headgear is... Very intriguing?" Her voice was questioning, but she decided that was the phrasing s...

Kawauso slowly turns her head to her sister's arrival. She tries at various times amid the questions to respond, but it's as easy as usual. "Kotsu-chan," she says quietly, with a patient smile. And a red line crossing below her left eye that sure looks like a scratch from something . "Who would care...

The Lion frowns. "I don't believe that's necessary," Kawauso says, straightening just slightly to suggest that she's fine. There's the tiniest wobble of her head as she does so, however, which makes her frown again. "If my lucky cat friend wishes, though, I would not resist." She shakes her head gen...

Alright, if it's not really trying to eat us, do we think we can just bypass the bear?

Kawauso respected that tables would take up room and make the space in the hall less flexible, but trying to sit in seiza and eat with food so low to the ground... The Lion closed her eyes and shook her head. Still, hunting worked up quite a hunger, especially in winter. Tired and hungry, and still ...

The lucky cat returns with four drinks on a tray. A sake for the Stag Lion girl, and two teas one for the Lord Moon and one for Mr Fox and glass of water for herself. "I hope you enjoy your drinks." Sasori bowed. "Bay--er, cat-san, thank you," Kawauso says enthusiastically as drinks appear. Without...

Her face showing the curiosity of an otter, Kawauso walks over to the slightly fluffy and wind-tormented woman.

"Er, Crane-sama?" The Lion says hesitantly. "You seem to perhaps... need an extra hand, or two? Ah, and I'm Akodo Kawauso, if I might be of help?"
