[D6 EE] Swinging Sticks (Training Area, Expecting)

[Togashi Shinko]

"That you're as good with your tongue as you are a sword" Shinko says the words mildly but offers a wink. "Girls talk, you know"

She's curious if that catches him off guardm

[Shiba Haru]

It does.

Haru experiences many emotions in an instant, anger at Kasumi.

THIS is why people look down on you Mantis. I was right to test you, I have got to keep you away from Jiro.

Deep embarrassment.

Why did I even say those things out loud, idiot you were just playing a game and now this has happened.

But eventually, as is natural for someone his age, intrigue.

Wait...what is...ohhoho.

"Ahem, well. I'm glad my words have reached ears that appreciate them. I'm not one to boast though so if you're just going to have to find out for yourself if that's true or not. But we can talk about that during our date...unless you wanted to "talk" now."

He glanced around to see just how alone they were and remembered they really weren't.

[Togashi Shinko]

"Someone is eager." Shinko snorts, pulling her kimono sleeves back up. She tilts her head to the side playfully. "But I think I owe you a date first. Just the two of us, right? She reaches over to clasp a hand on his shoulder.

[Shiba Haru]

He didn't shy away from the touch but rather took a half step closer and smiled.

"Indeed, do you have a preferred location? I'm flexible."

Though probably not as flexible as you.

"Maybe some place I can bring my koto if you're a fan of music, or a ride in the forest?"

[Togashi Shinko]

"Music is nice" Shinko perks up at the idea, coy flirting replaced.

That actually sounds a nice time out with a cute boy.

"I like to sing. I can't promise that I know any high art pieces, mostly tavern songs from" she pauses. "Other bushi, while they were in their cups. But I like the idea of some privacy"

[Shiba Haru]

"So how about a nice trip out in nature, I can bring my koto and something to eat, perhaps some sake. You can bring yourself and anything else you think would be appropriate."

Or inappropriate.

[Togashi Shinko]

"That sounds lovely." Shinko can't resist a smile coming over her face.

[Shiba Haru]

"Is tomorrow night good for you? We could go another round here if you like or just sit and chat."

[Togashi Shinko]

"Well, as much as I am sure that they loved my singing voice out here I don't know how much they want an encore" Shinko muses. "But I don't think a sake house? Maybe the gardens?

[Shiba Haru]

"If you think it is private enough then the garden it is."

Haru walked back to his kimono, putting the still wet silk back on.

"You know, the first time I met someone from another clan is was a group of Dragon, brothers and sister passing through my village during a lantern festival. I was six or seven I think and we played a game of hide and seek that lasted nearly two hours. I wish I could remember their names but I was young and most of I remember was the feeling of childish joy. Hopefully I will get to know you better, I'm already sure I won't be forgetting your name."

[Togashi Shinko]

"Wasn't me sadly" Shinko chortles. "I mean, that would have been an amazing twist of fate, but I know I was't there. And believe me, people remember me"

She heads for the door and winks. "See you in the gardens"

[Shiba Haru]

"Um, yes, see you in the garden. Until then, my the Fortunes carry you." He said with a smile and bow.
