Killing Me Softly (D8, LA, Open)

[Soshi Yuuru]

Udo looks back to Yuuru, and says in the silence so others can hear, without quite being loud.

"I heard many rumors today, is that what they're fighting over? It seems strange. We were all asked to show understanding at this reunion of the Clans, and for it to end up in a duel because of the mere whispering of others?"

Yuuru shrugged, "I'm not sure I fully understand myself. I think the Miya was trying to instruct the Otaku on something but the words the exchanged were not deemed to be polite. I know the Otaku woman to be a bit of a fiery character... I wonder if this all just isn't a big misunderstanding that's gone terribly wrong."

[Miya Mei]

Mei closes her eyes as well.

[Togashi Udo]

Yuuru shrugged, "I'm not sure I fully understand myself. I think the Miya was trying to instruct the Otaku on something but the words the exchanged were not deemed to be polite. I know the Otaku woman to be a bit of a fiery character... I wonder if this all just isn't a big misunderstanding that's gone terribly wrong."

"It certainly seems to be..." Udo grows silent as it is clear the end is coming.

[Matsu Kogo]

Khulun pushes forward and waits for this to be settled or the word to cut the cur down as she rests her hand on Massacre casually.

Kogo follows Moto-san's example, though she does not rest her hand on her sword. She simply waits for the outcome with a calm face.

[Miya Mei]

Mei moves fast as lightening. Before the Otaku's blade could clear her sheath, Mei's blade was at the throat of Kitakuhime, a thin line of blood tricking where she had previously been struck

[Ide Amaya]

She gasps and winces, shoulders tensing in alarm.

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kitakuhime doesn't flinch. She simply opens her eyes, letting the thin blood run slowly down her neck. There's a short bow to Mei, as honor demanded.

[Miya Mei]

Mei whispers in Kitakuhime's ear.

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun knew the outcome before blades were even drawn, this was a farce but one that was thankfully over now. She rides up next to her kin and hands her some cloth to stave the blood.

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

No she doesn't. Kitakuhime takes a step back as soon as she approaches.

[Moto Khulun]

"You have proven the Heaven's word, it is enough Imperial," she says calmly interceding with her mount.

"Honor has been satisfied."

[Ide Amaya]

She turns expectantly to Taira, eyes pleading.

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo's face takes on a Lion's sternness, as she watches the unfolding events. She moves slightly closer on the horse, but does not infringe on the space.

[Moto Butaj]

Butaj's music stops as he stares at what has just happened.
