The pre-party Party (D10 LE Hideo's Yurt CLOSED)

[Seppun Hideo]

"Perhaps you can help with my packing tomorrow?" Hideo suggested "we will be leaving together after all, and I trust you with anything and everything."

[Ide Amaya]

"Of course I will, husband-san," and she takes another sip of sake.

[Seppun Hideo]

He liked when she said that, moving when she lowered her cup to kiss her deeply to show his approval, his hands stroking her lower back

[Ide Amaya]

She holds the cup carefully to one side that it does not spill, and notices the heat of the drink has leant an added dimension to the warmth of his mouth as he kisses her.

[Seppun Hideo]

He smiled warmly at her as the kiss ended. One more very quick kiss before he asked "will I meet your family before we travel to Otosan Uchi?"

[Ide Amaya]

Her mouth twists, "I hope so, but I am not certain. I've had nothing from father-sama to indicate either way."

[Seppun Hideo]

"I would like to meet them" Hideo said honestly "and see if they are happy with the man who is stealing their daughter away."

[Ide Amaya]

She offers him the last mouthful of sake in the cup, "if father-sama is disappointed, it will be in me, for stealing a match from some far more worthy lady."

[Seppun Hideo]

"He would be wrong then, because I claimed the best girl of the miai and now I will never let her go" Hideo said, before taking the cup from her hand and finishing the cup, before refilling it

[Ide Amaya]

She smiles, "father-sama is a sensei, he had high hopes and higher standards for me."

[Seppun Hideo]

"Maybe it is I that is unworthy then" Hideo angled the cup to allow her to drink, so her hands were free to do as they wished this time

[Ide Amaya]

She placed one hand over his as she drank more deeply from the cup this time, her other hand wrapped around his shoulder and her fingers traced circles and figure-eights at the nape of his neck. "What makes you say that?"

[Seppun Hideo]

"Am I truly the best pick here?" He mused as he took a deep drink from the cup himself.

[Ide Amaya]

She frowned, troubled by his comment, and gently took control of the sake cup, downing the remaining contents. "You are the only pick here," and she pressed her lips together, confused and worried.

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo kissed her back, noting the frown and ended the kiss, looking at her. "I just am concerned that your parents would not view me as highly as you do. You are my love, and I want to make you happy."
