Seeing Akil make his offer to Matsu Killo, she can't help but approach, bowing to each.
"Matsu-san, Akil-san, I was wondering if I might accompany your music with my voice, if you wouldn't mind a duet." she offers.
There was a momentary flash of concern on Akil's face as Fukawa approached, but his eyes softened and smile widened as she made her offer. "I would of course be honored to complement Fukawa-san's voice with my flute."
There is a not so tiny pang that goes through Kogo seeing him smile at Fukawa in such a way, but she hides it well, her mind focusing back on what she can control. "Very well. I will be glad to announce both these lovely entertainments."
Stepping away from them both, Kogo addresses the party. "Minna-sama! Be welcome to this lovely gathering. I am honored you have all chosen to attend. For your entertainment, several honorable samurai-ko have prepared two very distinct offerings." Indicating towards the fire, she says, "For those who wish to know more of barike (she mispronounces) and see its skill against jiujitsu, I offer this contest between Matsu Nintoku-san and Moto Butaj-san, in honor of Lady Matsu and her mighty glory." Her eyes light and her smile is fiery as she speaks her ancestress's name. Then she indicates the tables and seating area.
"For those wishing to hear more of the shared arts between our peoples, Shinjo Akil-san and Doji Fukawa-san have offered to play and sing a duet for us. Please, feel free to enjoy either of these or the candy provided by Doji Ameka and I hope you all enjoy our last night in Dark Edge Village!" She ends with a flourish, almost panting.

It is not the most fantastic announcement in the world, but it is clear that Kogo is excited for both things and slightly overwhelmed.
She retreats after her announcement, to move to get a last cup of sake and find a chair to listen to the music.
