Killing Me Softly (D8, LA, Open)

[Miya Mei]

Mei stops mid sentence in whatever she was trying to say to Kitakuhime.

She bows low to the Otaku and sheaths her blade after flicking off the small bit of blood.

She looks to Khulun and nods, but remains speechless.

It is clear she is somewhat taken aback she was not able to say whatever she had wanted to.

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kutakuhime bows low to the torii arch on top of the dueling fields, asking forgiveness for her fault. When time is done, she walks towards Khulun and accepts the piece of cloth to hold the bleeding, then leaves the sacred area.

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun looks down at the Imperial with a satisfied if smug look on her face. Speechless was the best look for her.

She looks back at her kin as she leaves and then back to the Imperial and says, “Honor is satisfied, yes?”

[Miya Mei]

Mei frowns but nods.

"Of course."

"I..."

She pauses and lets out a breath.

"There was something I wished to tell her. Now I never will be able."

[Moto Khulun]

“There is nothing else that needs be said, your blade said all that was needed; it is known,” she says calmly.

[Miya Mei]

Mei nods.

"Indeed, you are correct. On the matter we disagreed on, all is settled. These was something else that required this"

she motions around her

"To happen, but it wasn't in regards to anything we were asking for the heavens input on. She moved to swiftly backwards to hear it though and I lost the opportunity forever. "

Mei sighs and looks to the ground.

"Please remember our conversation from this morning."

She finally says.

[Moto Khulun]

She nods and turns her mount around back to where she was.

[Soshi Yuuru]

Yuuru looks over to the Dragon and nods, as if this is what was to be expected.

[Ide Amaya]

Amaya closes her fan, preferring not to move any closer to the field where the duel had been conducted, trying to catch Mei's eye with the movement.

[Miya Mei]

Mei gathers herself for a moment and then walks to Amaya.

"Hello, Ide-san"

She says with a bow.

[Ide Amaya]

She bows politely in return. "The Fortunes grace you, Miya-sama, thank you for your service."

[Miya Mei]

Mei looks confused.

"My service?"

[Ide Amaya]

She indicates back to the field with her fan, "this could have gone less favourably. It should not have gone this far, but it did, and you executed yourself perfectly. Thank you for that."

[Miya Mei]

Mei nods and bows.

"You are most welcome. All could hear us argue. There was no way to settle it without involving the heavens. I am sorry it came to that though."

[D8 LA] Sincerity (Deceit): 4d10o10k3 17 (If you want to contest)

[Ide Amaya]

She easily accepts Mei's statement at face value, having no reason to question.

"As the only Ide present as witness, however, might I ask what it is you tried to say to Otaku-sama?"
