[D4 EE] Book Club [Ladies Only!]

[Moto Khulun]

“There is a Dragon and a Lion I feel have potential as husbands,” she says with a laugh.

“An Imperial, that is quite the catch, I am not sure if I have seen this one. Do share the details,” she says with a smile.

[Ide Amaya]

"A catch?" she hadn't considered this. Though they had spent some time discussing the Empire, she had never thought about Hideo's influence. "He's kind," she said simply, "and he enjoys my company."

"I believe I took tea with your Lion today, but I have not yet met any Dragons. Who is this ferocious suitor who has captured Khulun-San's eye?"

[Moto Khulun]

“I can share my Lion if you want a taste,” she says with a laugh.

“As for Sayyed Udo, he is not vicious but thoughtful; he talks in riddles that make my brain work for the meaning. Grateful for him it does not make me want to punch him but understand. What he lacks in fire he has in mystery,” she says honestly.

[Ide Amaya]

"This is good," she answers openly, "that you want to understand makes me think you and Dragon have a good connection. These are the things that make for happy marriages."

[Otaku Imane]

Imane arrived at that point, missing the earlier conversation but in good cheer.

"Hello cousins, thank you for the invitation! I apologise for my lateness I wanted to check on Almatar before the storm broke."

Water was dripping from her nose, and she was wearing half riding gear, half regular clothing. It was her most comfortable ensemble.

"What have I missed?"

[Ide Amaya]

"Welcome, sister. You have missed little indeed. Khulun was telling of the mystic dragon that has captured her interest."

[Moto Khulun]

“Amaya was swooning like Crane over Sayyed Hideo,” the Moto teases as she nods to the Otaku.

"Welcome, sister. You have missed little indeed. Khulun was telling of the mystic dragon that has captured her interest."

“He is brave and his lips are soothing like a gentle morning under a date tree,” she says warmly.

[Otaku Imane]

Imane smiled cheekily.

"Sayyed Hideo, the charming Seppun? He seems a fine choice. I should have guessed that it would take a Mighty Dragon to capture the attention of Sayedda Khulun! Do continue..."

[Ide Amaya]

Blushing, for it was true that speaking of Hideo did seem to make her rather dreamy, she nods in agreement of Imane's assessment.

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun smiles and says, “He is a quiet soul, if not for his silent bravery he could be easily missed. Though he has many interesting tattoos, I have though about tracing them with my fingers.”

“We shall see if Sayyed Udo can go the distance, what did you think of the Scorpion he seems… proper.”

[Otaku Imane]

"Ah, so this is the Togashi Udo that Tonbo Misa-sama told me of! One of their tattooed monks who aren't monks. He does sound interesting cousin."

She gave an encouraging smile and pondered her response to the question.

"Yes, very proper. He seems very polite and can certainly be charming. However, I do wonder if he would manage to embrace the life of a Unicorn."

[Moto Khulun]

“I do not think he would enjoy Unicorn life, at least with the Moto,” she says with a devious grin.

[Ide Amaya]

"Which Scorpion is this, sister?"

[Otaku Imane]

"Bayushi Suteichi-san. He is a musician and courtier, so a possibility. We have met twice now, he does not cope so well with Moto around but seems like a gentleman."

She smiled at Khulun's comment and laughed.

"I wonder what he would say if he knew my father was of the Moto?"

[Moto Khulun]

“I sense he would run for the hills,” she says proudly.
