''Mayhaps'' he leaned in a little ''I smell something like herbs... earthy and with an herbaceous bitterness like cut leaves or grass.''

His mind, tranquil as the lake made into a mirror, took in the sight of her and welcomed it. The dragon did not shy away from the touch, welcoming it instead.

''I enjoyed myself as well dancing with you. It had been a while since I could not let go and embrace the moment.''

The dragon slowly opened his eyes, the stars shining above being outshined by the mortal woman below them

''I am.'' he said softly ''I thank you both for asking and for making it possible.''

He turned to look a the woman

''And you, are you allright?''

Wu Zhe fell into the void without end but, after a while he had to ask: what was the worry? Without ground there was nothing to hit! As he fell the sensation became more akin to slowly drifting downwards until he simply floated. He opened his eyes and saw he was amongst the stars he had admired befo...

The dragon was sitting on the porch of Chouri's courtyard, looking up at the night's sky, where took a deep breath to slow down his heart. The day had been eventful but Chouri more then made her point at the start of the festival. The day's worries seemed to melt away the moment she had taken his ha...

She leaned closer and murmured. "And what would you do if I told you I might want something of your responsibility, hmm?"

The man blushed red, lost his step and was almost down on his arse if not for a last minute save

''I...um...I will...umm fulfill as duty demands...''

The interaction between the Lion daimyo and the Little Teacher could'nt help but draw his attention and made him roll his eyes

''I hold no knowledge over this question. I can presume a few things by way of extrapolation but not much more.'' He reached to get a bowl of rice ''The Ayakashi who became the Yuzuru and the Saru, had a traditionnal connection to Chikushdo and...'' he searched his memory ''...Sakkaku has well? It i...

"Uh. I imagine... he didn't call all of us himself though, did he?", the young man answers - and his question is answered not long after when the monk finally speaks The question seemed to be partly due to himself wondering about something - maybe his own reasons to be here. And the monk's words do...

''Thank you kindly'' he set up the pot and a few clean bowls in the table ''Rice with some wild herbs for a twist''

It was Wu Zhe's turn to approach, though he did not know what to say. Thus he simply bowed and voiced a simple

''Thank you, Shinsei-sama''

"Oh my... I'll have to hold you to that," she teases with a gentle smile.

The dragon mirrored the expression has the dance continued

''I hope you do''

The dragon came back into view, holding a pot, but kept a respectable distance

''I am sorry to interrupt again but might I join you all this time? I brought rice to go along with the rubing.''

He had an honest smile

''Then I will gladly share with you the pride of my tribe: the best cheese in the realm''

She laughs and twirls around with him. "It's worth it to dance with you!"

In the back of Zhe's mind, he had begun considering that lady Chouri might like him too

''If I cause you harm then I will take full responsibility'' he replied, letting himself go along merrily with the dance

He bowed low

''Once again I thank you for your hospitality but I must ask one last question: do you have food restrictions?''

Chouri takes his hand and gets up with a bright smile, pulling him into the dancing crowd to join together. ...but the smell... He will ask later, probably some kind of incense. Years of field and administrative work for an agricultural reform that ended up being akin to a fledgeling bulwark agains...

The odd smell caught the cheesemaker's nose. A smell that seemed to be out of place...

He was making his way to lady Chouri's side when the drums and the dance began.
