"Well, depending on how things turn out, I may be able to visit Whisper," he says with a nod.

"But yes, Asakaze is the first world I've been to other than Rokugan. I grew up in the Imperial City and only reached my gempukku around two years ago. The Hanako are a traditionalist family and we are often placed as diplomats and ambassadors for the Seppun. While many of us do travel to other worlds, it is often for very long periods in single locations. I plan on doing far more traveling than that, and seeing the many worlds of the empire."

When Nara mentions being on a show, he thinks back to what spider programs he's seen. Unlike many other clans, the Imperials and the Imperial City has access to programming from every clan. He had seen much of it too. He had been encouraged to watch much of the popular programming to better understand the aesthetics of them all. And then he remembered watching the first season of her show. "Ah! Now I recognize you. You are the lead from Teenage Demon Hunters. I watched it with some of my former classmates," he says with a smile.

The Seppun did notice the Mantis leaving. He suspected that conversation with her would be easier in a quieter setting than a banquet. Particularly with an actor entering the conversation. Big personalities tended to draw focus.

So he smiled and nodded to the Moshi. "I would like that Moshi-san." He offers her his contact information so that they can set up something more private.

Turning back to Nara. "I have not yet seen the entire series yet. Just the first season," he replies. "Time has been more of a factor than interest in not completing it. I will admit that I tend to prefer shows that are about travel and new technology, but I enjoy a good drama as much as anyone. Perhaps, if you have time during the miai, we might watch the second season together, if you have a copy or access to it here. I have to admit that I am partial to the interactions between Mia and Tenshi. Scenes where the two of you interact are my favorite."

"I am most certainly that they have. It would be rude to guests otherwise. But as I said, old habits are hard to break. It is said that grace is in the step of every Crane and to ask them to move otherwise would be difficult, no?"

He takes a sip of his tea as well, enjoying the cool temperature and mild flavor.

"Susumu Geppu, Asahina-sama. The pleasure is mine."

"

She found a seat, taking a bit of tea and food. She opened her book War of the Nexus and resumed where she left off.

She looked up to see who was talking to her. "Hai... it is. The plot is kind this giant battle between clans over a nexus which can transport you to any spirit realm." The girl explained. "This is the first of nine books."

It wasn't too surprising to have a magistrate spend plenty of time in space, so Fusako didn't show much surprise, instead just nodding. "I have a personal trainer that keeps me in a strict exercise regimen, but I am a courtier trained and business woman in practice. I work for Isora Fashion as lead fashion designer in the upcoming lineup."

"Exploring other realms is super dangerous, I hope they seal up the nexus as soon as possible"

She shook her head. "Well, the sealing of the nexus is not a plan from Lord Tsukihito... He wants to weaponize the nexus and summon an army of Ravenkus, corrupted form of a kenku." She explained. "Oh... i didn't mean to spoil it."

He frowns, "Weaponizing corrupted creatures is a horrible idea, that would only spread the corruption to other realms. Why would anyone be so irresponsible?"
