It happened again (D5 MM Shizenko's room)

[Doji Yoshino]

Yoshino herself was surprised and a bit embarrassed by the question. "I believe so. Ano, it's more the intensity is less than before."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"I see... and have you any surge of negative impulses?" She shook her head. "I am intruding aren't I? Asahina sama must have already asked these questions."

[Doji Yoshino]

Yoshino shook her head. "No negative impulses, and you're absolutely fine. I understand these personal questions are to help you narrow down what this creature possibly is, ne?" She smiled politely. "He asked other questions so you are likely both thinking of this from different angles. It's really no intrusion Kitsune-san."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Gaki are not well studied... and there are many variants when one goes in depth to study them." She thought. "I am trying to understand which side of the variants they may come and feed... just like Baku feed of dreams this creature feeds on your emotion but it is good to know there is no negative impulses. This is just a hypothesis but many leave the negative emotions behind to do sinister work." The Kitsune explained. "Thank you for bearing with this one."

[Doji Yoshino]

"No, thank you for sparing me some time Kitsune-san." Yoshino set down her cup so she could bow to Shizenko.

"Your School taught you a great deal. Your sensei must be proud of you." For she surely remembered a lot of her lessons.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"It is my honor. If there is any other assistance this humbled one can be just let me know." The Kitsune tilted her head.

[Doji Yoshino]

"Then, perhaps some company? Unless you have plans?" Yoshino asks curiously.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

The Kitsune nodded. " That I can do. If not Raakun can also be good company." She smiled. "Don't worry you will not go to Gaki do or disappear when this is over." She had high hopes.

[Doji Yoshino]

"He seems worthy company." She glanced his way. The little tanuki was cute. "And I hope not. Ja, what are your favourite art forms Kitsune-san?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"I like music and origami. Many instruments remind me of the sounds of home." Shizenko filled the cup with more relaxing tea. "What about you?"

[Doji Yoshino]

"You were practising origami when we first met a few days ago, ne? I only know a little. I enjoy music a lot, although I have never had the opportunity to learn to play one." Yoshino looked up thoughtfully. "My favourite art forms are likely poetry, song and calligraphy." Her gaze returned to Shizenko. She brushed her nose with her sleeve shyly. "I enjoy playing with words and meaning."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Ah calligraphy... I practice strokes from time to time and try to make my scrolls as stylized as I can." She nodded. "You saw Raakun playing with my brushes. "I am a bit dense for word play though."

[Doji Yoshino]

"Then I'll share a secret with you on word play." She leaned a little closer. "Much of it can be learned, like a Clan's history. It takes no particular talent, only memorisation." Yoshino leaned back as she looked over Shizenko. "Surely something you're good at, ne?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

She looked a Raakun. "I am good with animals... I learn a lot from them." She turned back to the Doji. "But that is a skill that is not in practice here." She shrugged. "I am willing to learn new skills..."

[Doji Yoshino]

"A good place to start is from something that inspires you. Are there any poets or even just poems you enjoy?" Yoshino starts with the basics. If there was a poem Shizenko had memorised and liked then there might be some clues there for where Shizenko might like to begin exploring.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

She placed a finger on her chin thinking. Sadly Shizenko hasn't stayed on one place long enough to recall any poets. Then she remembered something her father used to recite. "I know a poem that father used to recite but I don't remember the author."

[Doji Yoshino]

Yoshino placed a hand on her chin. "That's fine. Do you like it?" If she didn't like it then it wouldn't be quite as helpful, although it might provide hints on what to avoid.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Of course, it brings good memories." She nodded. Raakun yawned. "I also reminds me of mother." The woman explained as she tried to remember the lines. "Do you wish to hear it?"

[Doji Yoshino]

"Please." Yoshino brought her hands together and nodded. She was genuinely curious now.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"I am not really good but here it goes" she cleared her throat.
"Spring bring flowers to bloom
Sweet smells of cherry blossoms come
Dawn brings cicada sounds

Rabbits and frogs hop around
Squirrels and chipmunks yawn

Spring blooming flowers
Rains abound the trees."

"It is a silly poem." Shizenko notes.
