The rain was still the rain, no amount of wishing would change that. Rather than being a running fool, Kitamaru embraced fortune and strode across the street in the rain.

The shrine would be open, and that was good, as the Shosuro had much to think about.

Perhaps a monk would make do for conversing should time permit.

It did not take long to see what the Scorpion truly sought, though.

Kitamaru sat before the "shrine" and stared.

The Shosuro was not alone, there was another Shosuro joining him.

Sara was sitting and focusing on...who knows what? It was certainly something.

When finished she moved closer to him. "Cat got your tongue cousin?"

"Do you not like cats?" Kitamaru asked, unmoving. It was necessary to ask among Scorpion, especially the Shosuro.

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

"I like certain cats." She smiled. "anything in particular that calls to you in this one?"

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

"No", Kitamaru lied. "Why? Compared to a real cat it seems to lack a great deal."

Nevermind all the boxes it does check off.

Stare

Sara smirked, as she watched him. "Oh, I see. Yes, it is quite. Boring." Her tone was teasing.

"You have a real cat?"

A shake of the head.

In every post Kitamaru had served there was always a reason.

They were unlucky.

The ambassador was allergic.

Kitamaru seemed too eager and it made his charge suspicious.

It was unfair and stupid.

"Oh? How sad. I had a cat growing up. Father disliked it, but could not say no when I asked." She smirked.

"He was a mean, orange monster."

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

Kitamaru turned and faced Sara now. The smiling fox mask seemed to show extra mischief.

"Go on."

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

"Oh? You would like to?" She smirked. "Since it was disallowed to hunt rats, it preferred to mail my sister." She let out a low laugh. "Just small scratches, but it was always able to distinguish between the two of us."

A twin.

How lucky.

Kitamaru seemed to stare at Sara for a long while, saying nothing.

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

Sara winked back at him in an exaggerated manner.

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

Kitamaru looked away, rather abruptly and faced the beckoning cat again.

There seemed to be a great deal of thought going on...or maybe not. The Shosuro's hands were clenched tightly on their kimono though at the thigh. Were it not silk, and sturdy at that, it likely would have ripped already.

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

Sara glanced around, and when she saw no one, she slowly moved closer, her hands reaching around to find his.

She whispered into his ears. "We are family, cousin. You can relax." A heavy smell of flowers wafted over her cousin.

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

The fox mask turned and faced Sara. At such close range, she might even see his eyes, plain and average as can be.

The fox mask's nose bopped the woman on her lips.

"This one is relaxed, your scent is calming, thank you."

The mask turned away and resumed viewing the beckoning cat.

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

Sara moved her hands back until they rested on his shoulders. "Would you like a cat Kita-kun?"

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

Kitamaru's decison was not taken lightly. There was a matter of protocol when dealing with Scorpion women like Sara.

The Shosuro removed his hat and instead of skittering away, leaned on the woman, much like a good boy would when faced with such comfort.

"Hai."

The manner of trust shown might be unnerving to some.

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

"Oh?" she started idly stroking the back of his head, like a good boy. "Poor Kita-kun..." she stared at the cat statue.

"Would you like that statue?"

Shosuro Kitamaru · **Joined:** Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:12 pm **Posts:** 265

With a sudden movement, Kitamaru stood and turned to face Sara, blocking view of the little figure. A step back and he leaned on the small pedestal it rested on.

The Scorpion seemed to laugh silently, one finger drawn up to the fox mask, pantomimed shushing. The other hand was behind.

It wasn't very slick, but showed dedication regardless.

When Kitamaru stepped away from the pedestal, the cat was gone. The shushing hand opened, covering the fox mask mouth in mock disbelief.

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

Sara responded in in silent and exaggerated disbelief, looking around Kitamaru with wide eyes.

Holding her hands to her face, she couldn't help it longer and let out a laugh.

"You so bad Kita-kun."
