Dinner and Sake Ima(Now)... ne? (D5, EE)

[Soshi Yuuru]

"I got it back." He smiled.

[Doji Ameka]

"No follow up about that? After such an exciting tale, I'm a little sad," she said with a smile. "Congratulations on the retrieval of your knife, though."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled, "It's a bit gruesome is all.. especially before dinner. Can I order you something?"

[Doji Ameka]

"Fair enough," she agrees, inclining her head. "Certainly, thank you... just something light is fine."

[Soshi Yuuru]

Yuuru called the store owner over and asked for some light spring rolls and nodded his thanks.

"So where do you hail from Doji-san? I'm willing to know anything you'd be kind enough to indulge me on."

[Doji Ameka]

"My family is from the city surrounding Kyuden Doji. My mother is a diplomat, and my father is an artisan gardener that helps maintain the palace grounds," she replies with a smile. "And yourself, Soshi-san? I'm curious, as well."

[Soshi Yuuru]

"I'm originally from around Shiro Soshi, my father recently was moved to Ryoko Owari and that is where my family resides now." He replied.

[Doji Ameka]

"Quite a storied locale. How has your time there been?" She asks curiously, tilting her head slightly.

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled, "Fortunately I've been in the woods the past couple of years most of my time. Ryoko Owari was a dangerous place recently... but there's a Soshi governor there now and things appear to be going well."

[Doji Ameka]

"Ah, I heard some about that. I was thinking of before that whole... incident, admittedly. But at least your duties took you into the woods... not that that's safe with mother tigers and all," she said with a smile. "You mentioned you wrestled Naga, too?"

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled and nodded, "I can't hog all the conversation with my own boasting though... You'll think I'm much too full of myself if I do that."

[Doji Ameka]

"Hmm... I wonder if I just like people who are full of themselves, then?" She proposes with an amused expression. "Sadly, my stories are not nearly as exciting for the most part."

[Soshi Yuuru]

"Well if you do like self-confident and driven guys... then maybe you'd like me." He said with a handsome smile.

[Doji Ameka]

"Well, self-confidence and drive are two positive personality traits, in my opinion," she says with a smile. "I wish I had more to recommend my personality than polite and inoffensive in such company."

[Soshi Yuuru]

"There are plenty of men around who would find you and your personality quite desirable Doji-san. There's a reason why your namesake kami was beloved by all." He said with a coy smile.
