[D1 LA] Short Lesson Before Dinner

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"Definitely better at riding. I've spent more time on horseback than I have running, without a doubt."

[Matsu Kogo]

"Definitely better at riding. I've spent more time on horseback than I have running, without a doubt."

"That is unfortunate. If it were an equal challenge, I might challenge you to a race."

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"Maybe we'll have a foot race during the miai," he says with a smirk. "I wouldn't be surprised if something like that were planned. But if so I'd expect some obstacles and challenges that are part of it. While I may not be the fastest in a straight up run, I can negotiate obstacles pretty well and make up time in such circumstances."

But if so I'd expect some obstacles and challenges that are part of it. While I may not be the fastest in a straight up run, I can negotiate obstacles pretty well and make up time in such circumstances."

"Hmm. That would be an entertaining challenge. I look forward to the possibility of competing against you Shinjo-san. And if one does not arise, perhaps we can plan a competition of our own."

[Soshi Yuuru]

"You think so?" she raised an eyebrow. "That would make them neighbours of the Hare... so maybe not such a bad thing, regardless of how this marriage thing ends up."

"So no dainty little housewife for Yuu-kun then?" Tomoe chuckled. "I will keep that in mind as I look around for a wife that can keep your feet on the ground."

He tilted his head, "I wouldn't say that I suppose. Just someone who doesn't mind a guy with some wanderlust. Dainty housewife is fine if they don't expect me to be a dainty little house-husband."

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Maybe some fierce Moto warrior will make you into a good little wife?" Tomoe laughed playfully. "I can just imagine it now, you looking after the home, all done up to welcome your mighty wife home with a dainty Okaerinasai."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled once through his nostrils, "Yeah... that's a future I'd like to avoid."

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Aw, but you'd make such an adorable housewife," Tomoe teased and gave a little pout.

[Shinjo Liu Yue]

"I think he would find that wonderfully exciting." The tiny smile took on a rueful edge. "He takes after his mother in his sense of adventure. It has lead to some interesting scrapes already. Our village was rather mountainous and the children will climb. He's too young, really, but it doesn't stop him from trying to get away and try. We has to spend the next day indoors as a reprimand, but he is always at it again in time. I suspect the boy will be a warrior, though time will tell on that matter."

"A boy that is fit for the saddle will make a good son for a Unicorn woman, Hirase-san." Yue looked to the sky, lost in her own thoughts for a moment. Hopefully whoever marries this man is okay with adopting a child.

Her eyes turned to Hikazume. "Let us not forget your lesson, Hirase-san."

[Soshi Yuuru]

"Aw, but you'd make such an adorable housewife," Tomoe teased and gave a little pout.

"I hope that version of me will have to stay safely tucked away in your dreams."

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

...

"That could definitely be fun. Perhaps running inside the her and see who lasts the longest. Running amidst the herd can be wonderfully exciting," he says with a laugh. Almost like he'd done that before as horrifying as it sounds.

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo's eyes widened slightly. "Running..in the herd? As in a herd of horses?"

[Shinjo Liu Fei]

Yuki nodded slowly in understanding at that, then smiled. "I'm sure one of the events will be horsemanship. I can't wait to see what they are capable of then." She paused, then smiled warmly as she looked at Liu Fei, "As well as you and your sister Shinjo-san. You both seem so comfortable on your horses that I'm certain we will all be awed by your display."

"If it is," she said, sitting herself up more on Gokiburi, "You may want to get yourself some time with a horse so you can impress a future husband here Asako-san."

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

...

"Yeah. It's exciting. You have to watch your step and keep your eyes open so that you don't get knocked over because that could make for a bad day. I can't think of anything to really compare it to. You feel the ground trembling beneath your feet and it sounds like a constant low rumble of thunder. It's a real shock to the senses the first time, but the first time it's really better to run alongside than inside." He nods enthusiastically.

Kogo nodded, looking excited. " I can imagine. The sound, the smell, the feeling. It must be exhilirating. How many times have you done this?"
