Nozomi rounded a corner and made her grand appearance for Shoan. It was not that there was much different about the priestess. She was just being dramatic for flare.

"What brought you here?" she piped, joining her clan mate's flank.

Nozomi returned the bow and then looked around. "Oh, yes. Maybe I can find some Unicorn cuisine over here."

The Kitsu turned a bit pink and looked away. "Ah, yes, that would make sense," she stammered. "Makes sense that you figured out who I was talking about, that is, after all I've-"

Nozomi looked back. "Wait, no you don't know... or do you? Hm..."

Nozomi ran a hand through her hair. "Uh, well, yes, we talked about getting dinner sometime and I wanted to see if I could find a place for that purpose."

"Doubtless? I don't even know who else she's looking into," Nozomi admitted. She twiddled with her fingers and then nodded. "I think she may be the best political match for me."

"Her popularity is one of the reasons why I haven't made her my top choice," Nozomi admitted. She took off her glasses, gave them a thorough rub, then replaced them. "Still haven't figured that one out."

"I guess," Nozomi muttered. She went ahead and looked around at the meat. "I think this is just 'Unicorn inspired' stuff. It's as authentic as Lion-clan style food when the Crane make it."

She stared forward. "Wait... are they doing that on purpose just to upset us?"

"Exactly." Nozomi tapped her chin. "Do you think Unicorn recipes would be easy to replicate with what we have available at the inn?"

"I think I'd have to look up a recipe." Nozomi tapped her chin. "I would hope I'd have the requisite traits for the Unicorn. If not, then it'd be as good as me marrying a Crane."
