"Nothing so important as that, no," she shook her head and sipped her drink. "I grew up here, and rocks and fungi and really big lizards are about all there is." Moriko shrugged one shoulder apologetically; it occurred to her for the first time to wonder what had drawn these strangers to this uninteresting back-water planet to marry its unsophisticated locals.

Atena chuckled. "That is why Tsukihito is the villain of the story. The other clans are trying to prevent his plan. Sort of like a Day of Thunder but instead of the lord of the Shadow lands they are fighting the evil Tsukihito, neh."

For a moment Michiya seems to think.

"Let's share contact information, and if one of us can locate a means to watch it we can arrange something. Perhaps others might be interested in a viewing as well. Showing off your talents to those that have had limited or no access to Spider Clan programming," he replies. "If we cannot find it, then I will look forward to when I get the opportunity to watch it in the future."

"'Rocks, fungi, and really big lizards.'" Maiko repeated back to herself. She looked like she wanted to say something then thought the better of it.

"And now a miai, right? Lots of off-worlders, preening and strutting, trying to get favorable matches before heading off back to fortunes know where. What do you think about that?"

"Sounds like a real tool, though getting all the clans to agree on something is rather amazing, and a noble pursuit I guess"

Atena nodded. "I am Moshi Atena by the way." She gave a seated bow. "Would you ike to read it? I think i can download the digital copy."

"I'm sure that you'll be able to thoroughly ensnare someone in silk to test out designs. I am sure that many would jump at the opportunity to display the latest fashions from your company, especially if they are cutting edge. A courtier would perhaps be more eager, but there are many who would like to look striking."

He finishes off his tea and a servant refills the cup idly.

"Sure thing Seppun-sama! I'm ok with it just being us though" Nara said with a smile, taking out her communicator to give Michiya the number "and there's computers in all the hotels right? I'm sure we can find it on there! In fact I'm certain we can!"

She nodded, taking the densai. She connected to the network and downloaded the book from her account. She signed out and deleted her information. "There you go Kuni san. I hope you enjoy the book."

"Your welcome Kuni san." She smiled. "So how are you enjoying this evening?" She decided to put the book back into her bag. "Are you enjoying the exotic things?"

"I'll look through what the Snow Maiden has available, but most of what I saw earlier was religious sermons and some Phoenix programming. Though as I understand it, it's not common for the clans to carry shows and networks outside their own, unless there is an alliance between them. One of the things I'll miss about the capital I imagine. Most of the shows that the clans produced were easily available there with all the clans having a presence on the planet."

"Of course, I have no doubt," she noted. "Not that I plan on finding a partner based on their desire for free fashion. A partner, not a sycophant."

"I doubt there is an embassy for clans here... I also feel kind of strange. More like a worm in a chicken coup." The Moshi chuckled. "A book worm in chicken coup." She scratched the back of her neck sheepishly. "Lame joke neh?"

"Hmm, I think you're right. Still, even if we can't watch my show, we could watch something. I could even give my artistic commentary!" Nara said with a giggle "the Phoenix and the Spider sadly have no alliance, meaning they'll be missing out on our wonderful programming. There's some documentaries on the planets the Spider have claimed for Rokugan that I think would be fascinating."

He grins, "Not that lame, unless you count that the worm has no legs?"

"I would hope not. That would be a waste of time and of life and most hold those two things to be quite close. In any event, I wish you good fortune on your hunt for a suitable partner."

He offers a bow and would depart barring any attempt to further hold his attention.
