"She didn't give you her number? Wait, I'll send it to you."

Akemi reached for her communicator and, after tapping a few wrong buttons here and there, finally transferred Eriko's coordinates to Nishida.

"Seems on brand for her to forget about that actually. She's often hard to read. And her behavior is often... Unpredictable. Might want to prepare for a nice cover-up in case her out-of-miai actions go a bit too far and she draws in the wrong kind of attention from our hosts."

"Thank you, Akemi-san.

Hmm, seems like a typical Kuni to me,..."

Nishida crossed his arms.

"I'll ask her if she can spare a minute of her time. If her actions cause to much,... attention i can handle the fallout in court."

"Cool.

Oh, and so you know, Matsu Hide is head over heels for our Eriko, to the point she might be willing to join the Crab against her family's tradition. I'm personally in favor of offering her our support in this endeavor, a fact that you may have already guessed. She's a Lion, a good fighter, and since Eriko doesn't appear to be playing the miai game, it's unlikely she will find a better match. Unless other arrangements have already been made?"

"Hmmm, I haven't seen much of Matsu Hide, but if she is willing and a good fighter, she will be a valuable member of our clan".

"Well, either you trust me on this one, or I'll organize a meeting between you two.

Outside of Kuni Eriko, she likes wrestling, partying or any kind of physically extenuating activity really."

He chukles "Seems like Matsu Hide is a party lion."

He takes a sip from his tea.

"But i would like to meet her. If she really is interested in becoming a crab i want to know her quirks & qualitites. Did you spend much time with Kuni-san?"

"Barely saw her honestly. She just appears in places at times and disappears when you aren't looking. If it wasn't for the Crab meeting, I would think she's some kind of fairy tale ghost, someone everyone seems to have encountered but cannot tell who she is, where she comes from, and what she does of her days.

We'll see what I can do about Hide. We're a bit too numerous to organize a formal meetup between all of us, but encouraging Crab and Lion meeting each other in general seems like a good idea. Dunno about you, but I've met only two Matsu and one Kitsu so far myself."

"I would very much like to meet her, maybe we could arrange something small? Just us three or four maybe? I hope to get the crab to work as good togheter as possible. Keeping the line on this mia" he said with a smile
