[D8 ME Open] Late celebration

[Kitsune Shizenko]

The Kitsune chuckled. "Will you be singing while loading the cargo?" She laughed.

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"I can put my mouth to work as a prelude, at least," Tomdachi replies. "I'm told I've got a talent with it."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"I prefer the song of birds." Then she realized. "I promised you a song right?"

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"I would happily hear you sing," Tomodachi says.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

The Kitsune smiled. The Kitsune cleared her throat and started to sing. not as pretty as the singer in the video but passable.
When she finished she started to giggle.

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"Better'n my singing, surely!" Tomodachi says. "But I think I can get you to sing another song and enjoy it, too."

Drinks are refilled.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Really?" The Kitsune giggled. "I could sing another but then it will rain tomorrow."

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"What's wrong with things being wet?" Tomodachi asks. "There's a lot of joy in spray, you know."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"What about my papers?" The shugenja pouted.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Really!" The woman smiled and moved closer. "Then perhaps I should find another song to sing."

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

Tomodachi moves closer, in turn.

"Please!"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

The woman moved back and finished the drink. "Very well..." She smiled and cleared her throat. The Kitsune started singing. She moved closer to give a bit of emphasis to the last line. "Can I?"

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

Tomodachi replies in verse, though not song, knowing his voice for what it is.

I kneel before your glory
Put my tongue to the service of your praise
Heedless of any audience but you
And the sounds of you enjoying my performance
Are as good a reward as any applause
And the drink you pour me after
Is better yet

[Kitsune Shizenko]

She placed her finger on his lips. "Your poetry is ineffective." The woman chuckled. "I should get get going."

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"Well, damn," Tomodachi says.

"Still, had to try."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

Shizenko smiled. "Maybe next time, lover boy." She stood up and beconed Raakun to follow. Raakun waved at the Yoritomo good bye. The Kitsune bowed and made her
