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

[Ide Amaya]

She curls up against him, blissful, "whichever I choose, we will still spend time in the other, I hope," she says before committing.

[Seppun Hideo]

"Of course my love" Hideo nodded, pulling her close to him stroking her back gently "I am just planning your first visit to your new homes, as both have a number of quite incredible sights."

[Ide Amaya]

"Take me to Otosan Uchi first, it is the one I fear the most." The moment the word 'fear' slipped out, she knew it wasn't the right one, but she couldn't call it back.

[Seppun Hideo]

There was a look of confusion, and he sat up a little, looking at her. "Fear, my love?"

[Ide Amaya]

She shakes her head, bashful, "I am not afraid," she says in a small voice, "I just... it's not just one thing."

[Seppun Hideo]

He tried to consider what she meant. This was all normal to him. "Is it the city size? What concerns you my love."

[Ide Amaya]

She tries a different approach, "don't you think that Kyuden Seppun would be more restful after the busyness of Otosan Uchi?"

[Seppun Hideo]

"Perhaps. You won't see all that Otosan Uchi has to offer in a single day after all" Hideo began to relax a little more, settling back down next to her "I'm looking forward to showing you it all though."

[Ide Amaya]

She nods a little, yes, I think I could manage in day-sized bites, that would be okay. "And I do hope, in the fullness of time, to see it all," she replies honestly.

[Seppun Hideo]

"The sight of the Imperial palace will be the familiar one as you travel around the city, being the centerpiece. It will remind you of just how close you are to the Emperor himself" Hideo smiled at the memory "I'm certain that you will love the city, even if we will live around Kyuden Seppun mainly."

[Ide Amaya]

That sounds ideal, she muses. "Hmm," a little laugh escapes her, "I suppose we won't be seeing Kemuri-san, after all.

[Seppun Hideo]

"Kemuri-san? One of your friends who is marrying also?" Hideo asked

[Ide Amaya]

"Do you recall? My cousin and Miya-san sang for each other. If they are to be married, likely they will going to the Imperial Capital as their first port of call. Though I feel that the circuitous route we'll be taking wouldn't appeal to her."

[Seppun Hideo]

"Ah, hai of course. My apologies" he moved his hand, stroking her stomach gently and lovingly "still, Kyuden Miya is not a long journey. We will be able to visit him and Miya-san. Just like if there are others from the miai you wish to visit, an Imperial visit to any province is welcomed, we are direct servants to the throne after all."

[Ide Amaya]

She started, quite suddenly, propping herself up on an elbow, her eyes sparkled, "oh? and... I... you would not mind receiving guests as well, surely?"
