[D8 EE Event]Art exhibition RP

[Bayushi Sasori]

Sasori looked at the different people making art.

[Anjing Sagara]

Sweat dripped from the forehead of Sagara while she took a break from her work. Her hands felt rough as she touched the palms. The callouses of her hands were already old from her usual activities: heavy weapons, sculpting... sometimes she looked more like a bushi than a shugenja.

[Otomo Gusai]

Gusai smiles to see the two women there, and he bows, saying to both "It's a pleasure to see such an event, Bayushi-san--and your work, Anjing-san! I hope I'm worthy to stand alongside it."

[Bayushi Sasori]

"Otomo sama good to see you." She smiled behind her fan.

[Otomo Gusai]

Gusai nods. "And good to be seen, truly."

Sasori as a good hostess offered the woman some water.

Gusai nods. "And good to be seen, truly."

"Well, you were seen earlier. But this one wasn't found by you." She giggled.

[Otomo Gusai]

"Well, you were seen earlier. But this one wasn't found by you." She giggled.

Gusai flushes a bit red.

"Looking's not my best skill," he offers.

[Bayushi Sasori]

Gusai flushes a bit red.

"Looking's not my best skill," he offers.

She moved to his ear. "I can teach you... if Otomo sama would like." She smiled. "Mother was a hunter before she started developing her dojo."

[Otomo Gusai]

She moved to his ear. "I can teach you... if Otomo sama would like." She smiled. "Mother was a hunter before she started developing her dojo."

Gusai coughs slightly, flushing further.

"A lesson...I could learn."

[Bayushi Sasori]

She nodded. "It would be an honor."

[Anjing Sagara]

Sasori as a good hostess offered the woman some water.

The shugenja looked up to the water donor, "Bayushi Sasori-sama, thank you for the water." she acknowledged recognizing the woman as she looked up. "Art is a great form of expression and a wonderful way to bring peace to ones mind, but it can be also physically exhausting."

"It is excellent work, really," Gusai says to Sagara. "I'll admit that I don't do a lot with stone, generally, but I can recognize good work when I see it."

He grins.

He grins.

"Sumimasen, Otomo Gusai-sama, it is actually a hobby of mine, something that I do since I was little. When I grew in the southern mountains I used to carve the kami and fortunes of the temple that I used to take care of. Over time, I have learned a little more, but it cannot compare to your work, lord. Your art requires a grand view of the way that the ropes are going to connect, how they will form the final picture. Superb."

"If I have any skill," Gusai replies, "it is only through more practice than is likely good for me." He chuckles with a touch of self-deprecation. "And more time helps as well, as with," and here, he pulls out his knot from the day before, "this one."

It is a large knot, intricate and detailed, in the form of a mat decorated at intervals with little round ornamentals--something that would do well as an altar-cover, perhaps.

"The Stag have a tendency to prize material arts, as it happens."

"I am here to serve." She bowed

She looked to Gusai. ”Can I offer you a drink Otomo sama?”

[Otomo Gusai]

"I am here to serve." She bowed

She looked to Gusai. ”Can I offer you a drink Otomo sama?”

"Only if you join us in one," Gusai replies smoothly.

[Anjing Sagara]

"If I have any skill," Gusai replies, "it is only through more practice than is likely good for me." He chuckles with a touch of self-deprecation. "And more time helps as well, as with," and here, he pulls out his knot from the day before, "this one."

"The Stag have a tendency to prize material arts, as it happens."

"The Crab, too, prefer to offer the practical prizes as well. The weapon of the Kaiu are well known and are exceptional gifts that few have access too. Their armors and their craftsman skills are well known as well."

"Please join us, Bayushi Sasori-sama, at least as long as your hostess duties permit."

[Bayushi Sasori]

"Of course..." She offered Gusai some Sake as she served herself some water. "I remember mother talking about a Seppun sculptor. She met during the Kami tournament."

[Otomo Gusai]

Gusai nods.

"He's an example many follow, certainly," he says.

"Kampai," he adds, and takes his sake.

[Anjing Sagara]

Sagara finishes up the water and then offers her cup for a change in the liquid content.

"The family founders are inspiring examples to follow. On every clan, of course." She advocated with pride. "I learned the craft by the hand of my father actually. He always said I had a touch and could easily mold earth like none other in town. It was probably because of the gift as well, that allows me to speak to the kami also."
