"I don't know a lot, we went to the wrestling match together, she bet on the Warden, I bet on the Menace." He smiles, "She is a Mantis Shugenja, and she likes books a lot, we talked about philosophy a little and spirit realms."

Ryuu perked up. "Moshi Atena-san, Kuni-san?" He pondered for a moment. "Take her for ice cream." His eyes focused on his roommate.

"I went out for Mochi with a Crane yesterday. Don't want her to think I take everyone on the same date. Tonight we are doing a boat party"

The Moshi seemed like someone that might work for Koryn. A shame about the current relations between the two clans now...

Meanwhile her fingers began braiding, a process she was plenty used to as this style of braids were popular among the Unicorn and she had done it many times on her brothers.

"Have your fellow Crab mentioned to you which clans you should focus on to meet, Kuni-san?" She asked, hoping it would remind him to keep duty in mind.

"The top three they suggested, were Crane, Mantis, and Unicorn. They seem to think I should pursue any of the female pilots I could, or the Moshi Navigator." He chuckles, "My fellow Kaiu trained engineer is courting the Pheonix Navigator currently"

So. That is the game. Not surprising. He remained silent as Hyeon-ju went about her work, keeping his neck relaxed so as she pulled, he would easily move with her. Direct opposition to Spider goals.

"It sounds like they have your best interests at heart. Excellent to see after the ruse that brought you here was uncovered."

Hyeon-ju on the other hand felt confused, and gave a slight shake of her head. Guess it will be the Children of the Winds that will have to make the move then...

"Yes. It's good that they aren't pulling the same tricks on you, Kuni-san," she agreed, with some relief that Koryn wasn't the bullying-victim now. "I'll have to see about meeting one of your representatives then, if the Unicorn are of interest. I believe Yasuki Nishida-sama whom I met briefly would be the one to speak to?"

"Yes Nishida-sama is our senior representative. I don't know if everyone got the exact same orders or not, but those were the ones passed on to me, I know they seem REALLY interested in an alliance with the Utaku specifically"

Well that seemed strange to her, and she was aware of the fact that Koryn had seemed gullible before, so she had a feeling of scepticism... but still, she would keep it in mind.

"Thank you. I will speak with him." A single nod.

The fancy hairstyle for Ryu was taking shape quickly underneath her working fingers.

"So what sort of places does everyone have to recommend for dates so far?"

"Top selections I have found. The StarCade. One can use Moshi Moshi Super Sunrise OverDive Three and Hyper Dance Stars to see how one cN work in tandem with a potential partner." He was almost a statue as he spoke, eyes closed, letting Hyeon-Ju work.

"The bubble tea shop in the mall is quite nice. And..." he flushed slightly, "... Akaboshi pool can be nice for conversation while exercising."

"I like sitting in the garden," Ichika commented, her voice clearly distracted as she continued to flow words out onto the page. "It's.. quiet, nice," she added just as distracted as the first.

"I hadn't thought of a date at a pool, couldn't that be forward? I thought maybe the Gym, I like the Mochi shop, and of course there is the arcade."

She nodded. "I've liked Kayama myself... and seconding Tian's Bubble Tea. It's a very good place and the cheesecake is so good."

Hyeon-ju put some hair-oil in her hands, and once it was evenly spread across her palms, she used it to smooth out Ryuu's hair. It also had a nice and kind of spicey scent.

"What is it that's too forward about the pool, Kuni-san?"

Ryuu had a very good reason as to why it might be too forward. Instead, he kept his eyes closed, taking in the scent of the hair oil, and focusing on it.

Koryn's blush starts at his dimples and slowly spreads all the way to the tips of his ears. "Ummm..welll...nothing I guess?"

Wiping her hands free of oil, she moved around to look at Ryuu's face. "Well then... if it's just about the swimwear, I don't see how that is a big deal. People are naked in the baths and that's not causing you to blush."

Or maybe guys were more distrated when swimsuits were involved?

"I will add just a little soft eyeliner to your face, to make your eyes stand out more, Daigotsu-san."

"Actually partially clothes is much more attractive then fully naked" He speaks quietly, while not looking at anyone, just feeding his bird.

The Spider nodded a bit. Keeping his eyes closed, his posture rigid. "That is fine, Utaku-san."

"Huh, is that so, Kuni-san?" she said curiously, picking up her brush and palette.

"Maybe it's because the swimming trunks of men aren't particularly exciting that I don't really see it..."

Leaning closer, Ryuu could feel the soft brush tickling across his eyelids, as Hyeon-ju started to create a delicate smokey-eye effect. Going in too hard would look very harsh against the very pale skin of the Spider, so it was a challenge there to make sure it wasn't too dark and that it was blended out right.

"I used to swim a lot by a waterfall with a bunch of friends," Ichika continued, her sorta half distracted addition to the conversation. "Boys, girls.. I don't think anyone had any problems like that," she furrowed her brow on a memory.

"Have any of you done a lot of swimming like that where you're from?" she glanced up, raising a brow as she looked around to everyone. Resting the glance around toward everyone on Ryuu.
