It didn't take long for Sara to track down the Imperial Advisor, this time quartered in a small room that was quite a deal smaller than what her status would expect. When she opens the door, the Suiminko stares at her blankly for a moment before adopting a thin smile.

"Doji Sakura. It seems that you managed to survive the evacuation."

"Hai Doji-sama." She bowed low. "Gomen for my clumsiness. I have managed to arrive and spend the day finding you." She slowly extended her hand, containing a paper crane in her hand.

"I brought a small gift Doji-sama."

"A gift is not necessary," Suiminko says as she pushes the door the rest of the way open and moves to the room's table, evidently expecting Sakura to follow. "We have already had our introductions, after all."

"Right as always Doji-sama, but I have already disappointed you. It is only the most basic of gifts I can offer for Doji-sama's kindness and patience with this one."

Sarakura followed the Advisor, but did not sit down yet, bowing and extending the paper Crane.

"Do not mistake the stress of being forced to flee an enemy army as disappointment, Doji-san." She raises a hand and waves the concern away.

Sakura bowed once again. "Arigatou for your wisdom Doji-sama, then I doubly offer you this gift, for your continued teaching and patience."

She nods and motions for 'Sakura' to set it on the table. "Come, sit down and tell me of yourself. I am sure it is a fascinating story."

Sarakura sat down in proprer seiza, opposte of Suiminko.

"Oh, there is not much to tell, I come from a humble family, descendant from Doji Haminiko, oh you know, the poet of 'Red River Blue Sky' the famed haiku that stopped the War of Claw-Pincer-Beak?" She nodded enthusiastically at her as she spoke.

"I was named after my grandmother, who was an ikebana artist who started the trend of using flowers seeded from the garden of Otosan Uchi." She continued nodding like an enthusiastic toddler.

"My brother, may Tengoku watch over him, was an avid gardener like grandmother. He was in Mirumoto mountains when he passed away in a tragic rock gardening duel." Her face fell for a moment, before reasserting her on. "Of course, he won in the end."

She tilted her head. "I am just a nobody, a passable artisan of paper." She gestured at the origami. "I was at Centipede courts before I was invited to Moritake Toshi, to serve as an aid. I hope to one day become an Empire famed artisan and proper housewife." She bowed towards the Advisor. "Please take care of me."

Suiminko watches 'Sakura' for a long moment. "How very interesting," she finally says, smiling. "Such a pedigree. Tell me, since you spent time in the Centipede courts, you must be familiar with Moshi Sagaro. I'm interested in your opinion of the man."

She stands and moves to one side of the room, where she turns her back to 'Sakura' and begins rooting around in her traveling pack.

"Oh? Moshi...Sagaro-san? Gomen, I am terrible with names. Is he the tall bushi with the goatee and dreamy eyes, or the willowy shugenja with long hair and the lovely singing voice?"

Sarakura kept up the act.

"But surely you remember the Moshi garden, yes? With the bird baths and the hanging flowers?" She turns back to 'Sakura' with a bottle and two cups, which she sets on the table between them. Reclaiming her seat, she pours a drink for each of them. "I just so happen to have a bottle of Centipede Blossoms from Winter Court. I hope that it is to your taste."

"Gomen, but it was a terrible cold, and I am so bad with the winter..." She looked away shyly. "I stayed mostly indoors."

Eyeing the drink, she bowed slightly towards her superior. "Arigatou. Is there a special occasion for the drink?" She asked as she accepted the drink and took a polite sip.

"Isn't the blossoming of a new friendship worthy of celebration?" She beams a smile at 'Sakura.' "Is it as you remember it? I'm certain that you're quite accustomed to it by now, neh? Having grown up with it."

Shosuro Sara · **Joined:** Fri Apr 03, 2020 6:50 pm **Posts:** 689

"Eh? Doji-sama, I only spent one winter there, not grown up?" The airhead was confused apparently, as she took another sip.

Doji Suiminko · **Joined:** Sat Apr 11, 2020 1:56 am **Posts:** 120

"Just the one winter? I thought you had said Centipede courts, Sakura-san?" She shrugs her shoulders. "A slip of the tongue, I am certain."

Suiminko begins to softly hum a strange, lilting tune as she watches the other woman. Stares at her, really, not breaking eye contact. She didn't even seem to be blinking.

"Hai, gomen, I am a bit nervous." She stared back. "Everything okay Doji-sama? With your yes?"

(Sara gains the Can't Lie Disadvantage for the remainder of the thread.)

"Hmm? Oh, perfectly fine, Doji..." She leans forward across the table and lowers her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "I'm sorry, what was your name? I seem to forgotten it."
