[D7 EA Open] Dapper Raakun

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"My works are nothing special. Asahina sama here is probably more talented than this one." She nodded and bowed. She looked at Raakun and Tenten playing on his head and smiled.

I think I made a friend.

"Yes you did."

That guy is the one the lady of the tea place was talking about right

"Yes, he is."

[Asahina Asano]

"Your lord has asked you to do paintings for people, Shiba-sama? You must be talented indeed! I rarely get asked to use my artistic talents by my new lord, at least do far. Though sometimes to sketch things by memory. I have a decent talent for that kind of thing."

[Shiba Aibou]

"Maybe in the next couple of days you can see some of my work," Aibou notes. "Maybe it will offer inspiration for yours? Or perhaps we might compose together at one of the tea houses?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

He was probably talking to the Asahina. Shizenko thought.

She moved down to Raakun level and offered Tenten a place to perch on her finger. Shizenko whispered to the Tanuki. "I think she was wrong. It is okay, I guess."

Humans are weird. Where is my scarf?

"I know you want that scarf but it is not an easy item to find."

[Shiba Aibou]

"A scarf, Kitsune-san?" Aibou says, having been speaking, really, to both.

"I think I can help with that."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Really!" The Kitsune stood up with bird in hand. "I would be very grateful."

[Shiba Aibou]

"Of course!" Aibou says. "After all--but your companion wants the scarf?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Um... yes... Raakun has been begging for a scarf... oh my... this one is Kitsune Shizenko and my companion, Raakun." She bowed deeply.

[Shiba Aibou]

"Charmed, of course," Aibou says. "But I think we'd gotten past introductions, neh?"

He grins.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Right but is is just a courtesy to present oneself." She nodded. "How will you aid me on my quest for a scarf fit for a tanuki."

[Shiba Aibou]

"Have you been looking at scarves for children, perhaps?" Aibou asks. "Seems those would be the best-sized for him."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

She shook her head. "It never occurred to me." She looked at Raakun then to Tenten. "I could make you one out I
Of paper Tenten san."

[Shiba Aibou]

"You see?" Aibou says, smiling. "Helping."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Thank you, Shiba sama." She smiled. "Where to then?"

[Shiba Aibou]

"Perhaps our Asahina friend has ideas?" Aibou says.

[Asahina Asano]

"I for one appreciate the introduction, Kitsune-san. I'm Asahina Asano, priestess of the kami. As far as ideas go..."

She paused a moment and Tenten chirped loudly atop Raakun.

"Oh, right. And this is Tenten, an eight week old tit I've been looking after. She wanted an introduction too since Raakun-san got one. But yes! I did a lot of exploring of this town, and I remember a charming little place that offers children's clothes and toys run by a nice old lady. She knows most of the children of the town by name, and I really learned a lot from her. I'm sure she would like Raakun as well."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Excellent, please show the way Asahina sama." The woman bowed. "Tenten is so cute when he angry. You should see Raakun puff up his cheeks and cross his little paws. He really looks like a child."

I don't. Your are trying to make me mad.

"Not really... we are going to get you a scarf." She turned to the Shiba. "Shiba sama, do you have any paintings of Isawa Mori?"

[Shiba Aibou]

"With me? No," Aibou replies.

"That said, come see me in a couple of days, and I might have one. May I ask why?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Well... I would like to see them. It would remind me of good times I had there." She nodded. "I would honored to see them."

Good times? I was almost wolf food!

"That was just one time."

[Shiba Aibou]

"What was just the one time?" Aibou asks.
