A quiet conversation (D10, EM, Closed)

[Matsu Kogo]

There must be techniques that I can use to help this. Or perhaps I could adopt a Scorpion mask? she thinks, as she blushes yet again. "I am glad to bring you joy, even as you do so to me in return. I hope to have further opportunities to do so, however it manifests. "

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"We'll make it happen," he says with a nod. "We may not be able to force things to go the way we want now, but we can definitely influence them in the future with a bit of effort and planning."

[Matsu Kogo]

She smiles, though it a slightly less sure one. What does he mean? "I am sure that life after the miai will have its possibilities and it's changes. "

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"Certainly. There will undoubtedly be events and happenings within the empire that we can seek to attend on behalf of our clans, whether they're the same or different, whether together or as friends," he offers, simply meaning that whether they were married or not they'd be able to see each other in the future.

[Matsu Kogo]

She smiles, nodding along to his words. I suspect after this miai, my clan mates may have some questions about some of the friendships I have formed. "I suspect, having their own reasons to send me to this miai, my clan will continue to send me to events like it, as I have not formed negative impressions at least here."

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"You certainly haven't. And the more you attend them the more likely you will be to impress everyone rather than just a few. Experience is an excellent teacher. Much better than me," he says with a chuckle.

[Matsu Kogo]

She smiles at him. "I think you give yourself too little credit. I know Otaku-sama was impressed by my abilities the other night, knowing how little training I had before the miai. You gave me a good foundation to start with. I will not forget it."
