(Day 3, LA) Tell Me That in Verse (Yuki's Yurt, Closed)

[Moto Butaj]

"Butaj thinks he will remain inspired long after this evening, and in admiration of Asako Yuki's rubiyat." He smirks fondly, then nods. "Butaj cannot keep the little one hungry! Butaj hopes to see you soon." He then turns to leave.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki got to her feet and bowed to the man before he left. "Farewell, Moto-san. I hope we see each other again soon as well."

Once the man was gone, Yuki sat back down, trying to not look at Hirase as she blushed and fanned herself.

"Oh! Hirase-san. You should go see to Ichiro-kun." She had apparently completely forgotten that he wanted to speak with her about something.

[Asako Hirase]

"Yes." He looked at her solemnly. "But we must talk about certain matters soon, since it is clear that no one else has. Find time for me in the days to come, Yuki-san. Until then, carry the Fortunes."

He rose to leave, but paused just before he did.

"I do like that young man. Strange as his ways may be, there is heart and intelligence and a love of beauty there. Well done."

Then, with a smiled bow, he left her to her thoughts.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki's blush was mixed between her confusion at Hirase's remarks about something she had apparently not been taught and approval of his liking Butaj. Once her elder had left, the woman let out a small sigh and shook a little. Reaching over she took hold of a smoking pipe and a small box with burning sands markings on it. Stuffing the pipe with the granular material inside, the young maiden took a deep puff to help her get rid of those flustered feelings she was getting.
