Dark Edge Village

Meushi made her way with her Shinjo on top to the place where they had helped the Moshi out with the tent. Dismounting and giving the horse the order to stay, he smiled as he approached to seek out the Moshi there.

The little Moshi was getting ready for the contest. She finally came out of her yurt. She loojed up to see who was the one casting a shadow on her. "Shinjo sama! Blessings!" At was quite surprised by the man.

"Good afternoon Asakiko-san. I hope your day is going well. It's been a bit, but the miai has been busy. I must offer my apologies for not meeting with you earlier. An oversight on my part," he replies giving her a bow that's a bit more refined than he could have offered previously.

"I must admit that I've been a bit sad I haven't had the opportunity to see your smiling face the past few days, so I've come to remedy that. I'll do my best to not make such failure a habit."

The Moshi smiled. "Ah... I have been busy as well Shinjo sama." She gave the man a bow. "I have to thank you so much for the tent I have had so many visitors that well.. I have been quite busy trying to help people find their path or just satiate their curiousity."

"I'm glad that it has come in handy," he says. "Maybe you could give me a bit of insight into my future?"

"I... I was going to go to the poetry contest but if Shinjo sama is polite enough to give me a ride there I can spare the time." The tiny Moshi gave the Shinjo a bow.

"I'd be happy to, Asakiko-san. I wouldn't want you to be late," he replies with a nod.

The Moshi smiled again. "Arigatou..." She bowes again. "Please come in..." The Centipede motions the Shinjo to enter her yurt. He would notice the divination articles in a basket, a pillow book on a small table and a box. She didn't have much it wasn't because she is poor but because she likes to travel light.

Following her into the yurt, he glances around. "You did not bring much with you did you?"

"I travel light Shinjo sama. My height doesn't let me carry much." She offered the taller man to sit. "Please take a seat, Shinjo sama. Do you want some tea?"

"That would be nice. Thanks," he says with a nod.

"If you marry into the unicorn I imagine that you'll have the chance to learn to ride and get a mount. That would certainly make travel easier for you."

"I suppose... I have never tried to ride a pony, to be honest Shinjo sama." She shook her head and chuckled. "I guess your horse will be the first I will ride."

"I hope you will enjoy it. It's an exhilarating experience."

"Is it really?" She asked genuinely curious, like the small girl she looks like. "I would like to see how the air Kami play with my hair in such ride."

"I'm not sure about air kami pay, but I can promise you that you hair will be moving quite vigorously," he replies with a smile. "I'll try to arrange something for tomorrow if I can. I have something to attend to with my clan however and whatever the second Otaku contest is, but I'd certainly like to give you the chance to experience it."
