A wandering Matsu, I (D9, EE, Expecting)

[Matsu Kogo]

Yes, unlike her partner. "She...may come around. " She looks down at Noburu. "The bond with the Warcats...it is close but it is not perfect. They still have their own minds and their own thoughts. I suspect she does not understand the complexities of our situation." Noburu nudges Kogo, moving her slightly closer to Akil. What do you want cat? Noburu purrs, with an innocent face.

[Shinjo Akil]

He nodded, taking a step back to keep proper distance for the time being. "She is behaving a bit strangely, neh?"

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo nods. "She is. I think the miai has caused her to be somewhat bored. We haven't had a lot of time to go for long runs or hunt. She's had to spend a lot of the time in the tent or outside of it when others are present." She rubs the lion's ears. "I have had to neglect her. But hopefully, I will have some more time soon to devote to her."

[Shinjo Akil]

"It will be good when she does," he nodded and smiled. "I hope she would not be too bored on the plains. I have not seen that much to hunt."

[Matsu Kogo]

She nods. "Kemuri-san and I had little luck the other day when we went. We may try again, but it seems there is little here at this time." She smiles a bit. "Perhaps we will have to make our own fun."

[Shinjo Akil]

"I am sure you can," he nodded, "and at least for a while you will be busy with transition."

[Matsu Kogo]

She nods. "I will have things to keep me busy, assuredly." Her face blushes at her next thought. "Ahh...I am sure it will be fine."

[Shinjo Akil]

"Are you alright?" His head canted with a bit of concern.

[Matsu Kogo]

She blushes further. "Ahhh....yes. I am fine. Just...warm."

[Shinjo Akil]

"I suppose it is a bit warm out," he nodded in understanding.

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo looks a little askance, but he seems to have missed her blushes. Or ignoring them. Kogo sighs for a brief moment.

[Shinjo Akil]

He just kept that smile, looking to her and nodding. "I'm sorry."

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo looks up at him, confused. "For what?" Noburu wanders away, apparently leaving these two to their confusion to see if anything is worth hunting.

[Shinjo Akil]

"For being complicated, mostly. And causing your face to always be so red."

[Matsu Kogo]

And it goes redder at that. "Ahhh...I will accept your apologies for being complicated. For my face's redness....I fear I must accept responsibility for that myself." One day, I will learn to school my face. One day.
