Learning the lay of the land [D4, LA, open, expecting]

[Kitsune Takeo]

Turning his attention to the lion, Takeo took in an appraising view of the creature.

"An impressive companion you have - and I suspect he is not one to enjoy being cooped up?" he asked, before looking back to Gekko, "Something I suspect is equally true of Otaku-sama's friend."

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kitakuhime can't help but to look up to sky with them. "Ne! The sky is about to fall."

Gekko looks to Takeo with a regal pose and shows some teeth.

Turning his attention to the lion, Takeo took in an appraising view of the creature.

"An impressive companion you have - and I suspect he is not one to enjoy being cooped up?" he asked, before looking back to Gekko, "Something I suspect is equally true of Otaku-sama's friend."

Kogo chuckles. "Yes, distinctly so. She has been in my Yurt all of today, so that she may not startle others while I am gone. " She follows Otaku-sama's eyes. "It will likely be an impressive storm. These lands have them occasionally."

[Kitsune Takeo]

"I expect the fury of the storm would pale in comparison to either of you in a fight," he said, "The similarities between both the Matsu and the Otaku are apparent. Both with a steadfast commitment to honor, both known for their prowess in battle and both known to make companions of some of the most impressive creatures in all the land," he said.

"The Fox have a pleasant relationship with our namesake, but a fox is of little use in war. "

"The Fox have a pleasant relationship with our namesake, but a fox is of little use in war. "

Kogo's ears go slightly pinker. "This is my first encounter with an Otaku steed. I must say, they live up to their praise."

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

The Otaku listens to Takeo's compliment still looking up to the skies. "Being smart, gracious and nimble are of much use to prevent wars."

Gekko neighs and bows his head to Kogo, as if he had understood.

Kogo's eyes widen a tinch and she bows to Gekko. "Forgive my rudeness noble one."

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kitakuhime smiles. "It looks like Gekko enjoys your company, Matsu-san. More than the other cat."

[Matsu Kogo]

Kitakuhime smiles. "It looks like Gekko enjoys your company, Matsu-san. More than the other cat."

She smiles. "I am honored Otaku-sama. The regard of a being such as Gekko is its own reward. Have you been with him long?"

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

The Unicorn girl confirms with a nod and pets the horses forehead. "Since I was old enough to ride."

[Matsu Kogo]

The Unicorn girl confirms with a nod and pets the horses forehead. "Since I was old enough to ride."

Kogo mirrors her gesture, reaching down to pet Noburu where she sits. "Noburu and I have only been together 5 years, but it is a good partnership nonetheless."

[Kitsune Takeo]

"Some rumors say that Unicorn are born atop a horse - if that was the case I expect that you and he have been together for some time," he said light-heartedly.

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

"I've been carried atop a horse since I was born. If that counts as riding. Then, yes."

[Kitsune Takeo]

"I think that the definition of riding should be left to the experts," Takeo returned, with a look to Kogo seeking her agreement.

"As such, how would the shiotome define riding?"

[Matsu Kogo]

"I think that the definition of riding should be left to the experts," Takeo returned, with a look to Kogo seeking her agreement.

"As such, how would the shiotome define riding?"

Kogo nods at his look and listens intently.
