The Fox may have been quiet and apparently dancing the night away, but he wasn't stupid or oblivious to the Crane and Osprey. He also wasn't as drunk as others thought he was. Two drinks on a Kitsune constitution with access to Kitsune Biopharmaticals products? Just a gentle buzz tyvm.

So he did exactly what the Minor Clan Alliance had decided to do earlier that day. Help. Help by keeping everyone else at arms length by his 'erratic' dancing.


FOXEH HALPS!!!!!

Jin shuffle towards the bar, taking a break from dancing, asking for something cold...water, actually. He waved towards Chiyoko and the other unknowns, but not butting into the conversation.

"Hopefully we'll return to some Usagi Drop soon."

She chuckles, "indeed. And now we've lived just a little bit more."

With that same awareness of the space and dancers nearby, Mumei is aware of the Fox's actions and lets the back part of her caffeinated, buzzing brain cycle through the implications of anything more than a fun evening. They were both pretty happy running around on ships. Consorts were pretty much a given for the whole carrying on family lines thing. Crane were a little too close to Spider and Mantis these days, but that may change with another winter court or two. So....well into the 'would not have to refuse and commit seppuku for the shame' territory. And her smile really was pretty adorable.

So she gives the Fox a happy-conspiratorial grin as they spin past, and aims to keep that smile going as the music carries them through the night.

(Seemed like a natural spot where dance/conversation were winding down?)

Ishiyo's smile remained as the dance continues, for her own part she had been caught up in the moment. Whatever political game could be played was far from her mind. The Fox's antics had amused her as well, even if she hadn't seen the purpose behind his moves. A part of her would have appreciated it. But even with her military trained physique the Crane was beginning to tire, even a Daidoji's stamina had it's limits.
