Day 2 [Early Evening] Test Your Might

[Moto Butaj]

"Is that so? Butaj has just been defeated by one of them!" He chuckles, clearly not crestfallen by the happenstance.

[Ide Amaya]

"Beware then that she doesn't take you as husband by Moto tradition," she bantered, fanning herself.

[Matsu Nintoku]

By way of explanation, "three days before I was born, a violent storm swept down on the Unicorn and forced them to seek cover, they could not continue in the face of the storm's ferocity. As my mother laboured to bring me into this world, the storm calmed to a gentle pattering rain, and it was in those hours of calm that I was birthed. The storm returned to full strength again that very night, but I was named Amaya for the life-giving rain that had soothed my mother's heart in that difficult moment. For her I kept the name she bestowed to me."

"Perhaps it would please Matsu-Sama to meet another time and discuss such things some more? The day after tomorrow?"

"I choose my name in honor to one of my ancestors also name Nintoku." he admitted, her name story being much more interesting than his simple choice. His cheeks flared once more and he nodded "I would like that Ide-san."

He immediately noticed the Moto approach, greeting him with a nod "Moto-san."

[Ide Amaya]

"Butaj-San, this Lion has honoured me with promise of a future meeting, perhaps this humble one might be further honoured by a display of bariqu?" She turned back to the handsome lion, "If you are amenable, Matsu-Sama."

[Moto Butaj]

"Butaj would like to hold a proper bout with Matsu Nintoku at a good time for both of us. You know you can have all the bariqu you want, cousin. If you want Butaj to demonstrate bariqu in a bout with Matsu Nintoku, then it may just happen soon enough!" The Unicorn looked at the Lion.

[Matsu Nintoku]

"I would appreciate that Moto-san though I think I already understand the basics of Bariku." he replied in a calm tone before turning to the petite Ide "I hope the fight will be to your liking Ide-san."

[Ide Amaya]

A smile and a flutter of her fan, "I look forward to it. I know that you will perform admirably, Matsu-Sama."

[Matsu Nintoku]

"I believe so." he replied without any arrogance "I believe my technique and strength are superior to those from Moto-san."

[Ide Amaya]

Her smile changed, a suppressed laugh in the cast of her lips. "To defeat Butaj-San will certainly win you great favour with the ladies of the Unicorn."

[Moto Butaj]

"This may well be." Butaj agrees with a nod. "But we shall see. Butaj can easily imagine Butaj as a better wrestler than he currently is. But Butaj won't learn valuable lessons if he doesn't lose from time to time so he likes matching against superior opponents! It's the Way of the Moto. Win or lose, we don't give up." He then laughs alongside Amaya. "And that too!"

[Matsu Nintoku]

"That is the spirit Moto-san." he admitted, the Way of the Moto being quite similar to the Way of the Matsu "A Matsu never yields and always pushes forward."

[Moto Butaj]

"Similarities clash nicely." Butaj smirks. "This bodes well for our bout." Butaj then stretches and massages the strain in his arm he could credit to Yuzuki. The Rabbit has skipped him for medical assistance but the bruise isn't too serious. This reminds him of Khulun's injury. She didn't make it, so maybe she is not getting better. "Right now, Butaj needs to check if a friend is all right." He wonders how to excuse himself from the company but doesn't really know how to do it properly so he looks at Amaya to do the work.

[Ide Amaya]

Amaya nods slowly to her cousin, "of course, Butaj-San, thank you this evening's entertainment, it has been most enjoyable." She turns now to Nintoku, "Matsu-San, I too am required elsewhere, but I look forward to our next meeting."

[Moto Butaj]

Butaj waits for the Lion to respond before he will escort Amaya out.
