Crater Watching (Day 8, LA, Open)

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki nodded. "Oh, yes. Not as many as the Dragonhave, from what I hear, but they are quite nice, especially in the winter."

She paused for a moment. "Are there many hot springs in Crane lands?"

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa shrugs a bit.

"Not many," she admits. "But if there is a place there are enough Crane samurai, a bathhouse will be built. Some of them have some really amazing qualities depending on where you go. Beautiful artwork, attentive servants, fine snacks and other refreshments."

She sighs a bit.

"I will definitely be happy to be back in Crane lands yet again, though this trip was certainly educational."

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki smiled. "At the very least, I will be happy to bathe properly. Maybe introduce my husband to Rokugani baths." She smiled, imagining how impressed Butaj would be.

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa came a bit closer, so the fan wouldn't muffle her words for the Phoenix.

"Oho...perhaps as his wife helping....by say, scrubbing his large manly back for him?" she asks in a hushed tone.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki blushed furiously at that. "Then maybe he could help massage out all the sores and kinks from a long days travel in return." She whispered back with a content smile.

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa nods, fanning herself a bit. Apparently it was a warm afternoon.

"A husband and wife should take care of each other, ne?" she offers.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki giggled a bit. "I think so. It's important to have a healthy marriage, or at least that's what Hirase-san says. I don't really have experience in this, obviously."

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa nods.

"Well, none of us do, but the Empire has managed to continue on this long as it has. It'll probably come to us." she says.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki nodded at that bit of wisdom then looked back at the dogs which had found a stick that they both wanted.

"Hai, we'll manage I'm sure." She said with a little less certainty. After all, it hadn't been that long ago that she'd known nothing about being a wife.

[Doji Fukawa]

One thing was for certain, Takahiro was a very strong puppy.

"So where will you go once the miai is over, Asako-san?" she asked.

[Asako Yuki]

Rei used her own superior reflexes to stay on as Takahiro started to drag her across the field.

"Regardless of the outcome, probably back home for a time. Then, if I wed into the Unicorn I will be returning, otherwise it is possible I will stay out there." She looked over to Fukawa. 'What about you, Doji-san?"

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa nods.

"Back home certainly, until we can have our own home ready." she offers.

She watches the puppies with amusement.

"I feel like I've had days like that before." she comments.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki showed a little surprise at the notion of just having one's own house and lands being prepared for them, though maybe she'd meant a part of a family estate.

Yuki giggled a bit at the antics of the dogs. "Hai. Rei-chan shows good determination though, when there is something she wants anyway. She still needs to goading when you want her to do something she doesn't want to still."

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa nods.

"I know some samurai like that as well." she offers, amused.

[Asako Yuki]

Yuki nodded a little. "Some of my dojo-mates were like that. Last I heard they didn't get very good postings after their gempukku." She smiled a little.
