And speaking of subtle, in wandered Jiyo Sora... without either wife or children in tow.

He took the measure of the room, shrugged, and found a wall to hang around next to.
Gusai walks over to him, makes his bow.

"Jiyo-sama! It was a pleasure to see you in the event!"

Gusai nods. "You did seem to be holding back, to be sure. But I think many found the format unfamiliar." He shrugs. "Better, I think, than many other ways that things could be done.

"But," he continues, "more to the point for the evening: Care for a drink?"

Genji smiled. "I saw her briefly before I was knocked out." He eyed the Crane, then her mother. "Should I be getting subtle hints here, between you Hime-chan, and my dear Mother?"
"Not at all, dear cousin... but if you feel inclined to act in a certain way then I would not stop you, nay I may encourage it," she said.

"For you? I'll get something from my private stash," Gusai says. "We ship with it because it's...compact. For the crew, I have it cut with water, occasionally some fruit. For this...no."

He leaves and returns a moment later with two cups and a plain, plain bottle that he uncorks swiftly before pouring out generous measures for both. From the smell, it's well north of 80 proof. "Baijiu, it's called. Comes from another one of those little coastal villages I know. Moutai, as I recall."

"Never heard of Baiju..."

He took a sip.

"... but I'm glad to be making up for my ignorance on that score. What do they use this for, cleaning wounds? Has a kick, I bet Koyama'd appreciate it."

As unto the sumai so to the after party comes the Lioness. Why were the Stag do insistent on evening activities. All this running around was leaving Ayano exhausted.

Not that she meant to show it.

"Wounds, kettles, hulls," Gusai agrees, taking more than a sip. "Keep it well away from open flame, too, although there are some...interesting...party tricks that get done with it by some of the junior crew ashore."

She waved the Lion over with a flutter of her fan, or was it more a beckons...

"Hm, sound slike something we should keep away from Satsuki-hime, too..."

He grinned- and then, spotting the Lion, raised his cup.

"Makime-san! That road idea you brought up in court was excellent!"

He didn't appear too concerned about needing a reply.

"It was!" Gusai adds to the chorus.

"Ah. Togashi Satsuki-san. As a friend of the family, I use a nickname more often than not. Anyway."

Sip.

"She breathes fire sometimes."

Gusai does a double-take, then looks at his cup intently.

"Is this larger than I thought? Because I'd swear I just heard you say she breathes fire."

The eye swivels towards Sora. "That is what you said, yes?"

Ayano obliged, though hearing the comments from Sora and Gusai caused her to pause a moment. "Thank you, it will be a challenge of logistics, planning, and labor...but the I believe the end result will be worth the effort. Please excuse me." And she continued on to the Stag and Crane.

"Good evening Doji-sama, Hantei-sama." Ayano dipped her head in a small bow.

Talking about intelligent people, a wild Makime appears. Kinsen smiles behind her eyes, yet her golden eyes cannot deny the delight. "Makime-san, I pray Lady Sun has blessed you today with her warmth. How have you been?"

She closes her fan to provide a bow and soon pops it open again.
