Mako was dressed up slightly - her hair was done up in little buns, and her makeup lightly done for propriety's sake, her skin like pale porcelain. She couldn't do much else without breaking school rules, but her choice in which uniform to wear fit with whom she promised to meet - for 'some' reason her golden, imperial trim to her skirt was missing, and replaced with a black and white trim. It could mean many things, but Mako was proud of herself for having thought to wear it. It wasn't much, but it felt special to her, as she waited at the entrance to the temples. She was, of course, planning to pay heed to Benten first, hand in hand with Ichiro Priya |

Priya is so so touched when she sees the trim, running her fingers along it. She has to fall to her knees to do so, almost as if she were in worship herself, taking her lover's hand and smiling at her with eyes filled with such love.
"I have been blessed, by Lady Benten. For she has seen fit to place you in my life." her breath is heavy, and her love sincere, she wasn't expecting to be so overwhelmed
"You make me feel so loved, so worthwhile. How can I ever show you the love and the devotion that you do to me?"

Mako blushed deeply at the way the woman fell to her knees at the simple switch of what color she wore, wrapping her arms over the woman's shoulders, and leaning in for a kiss, to the overwhelmed, easily touched woman. She lingered there, in that kiss deepening it just slightly, for a long moment. But she had to pull away, she wasn't going to take her girlfriend's mouth right here, and ruin the cuteness of the situation, she simply wished to share her love, "You already show me your love and devotion. In every moment that you stand with me. Please, raise yourself." She smiled, giggling softly, "As much as I love the sight of you on your knees..." That was a pretty blatant flirt there, with lewdness as the only real answer for what it meant, "I prefer to stand hand in hand, to share in our worship of Lady Benten."

She stands up and takes Mako's hand firmly in her own, wondering if she can explain why wearing the colour meant so much to her. She has no skill with words though, so perhaps best to just let her think that Priya is easily overwhelmed... Sometimes, to be fair, she was.
She squeezes her lover's hand as they go to pray together, blushing a little at her conversation with Hinata the day before
"Mako and I prayed to Lady Benten last night, but not at a temple!"
Please don't hate her, fortune of love, for she is a devoted disciple.
How could she be anything else, hand in hand with Mako? Mako who had guided her from darkness into the warm light of friendship and more

Mako led Priya inside, without a word, shifting from holding hands, to wrapping fingers together, to having her whole arm around Priya's whole arm, practically walking on top of the badger. She loved this girl, so tall, so strong, so beautiful and sweet. Who would be moved by something so simple to her, as Mako showing off the clan that held her heart on this morning, the clan that birthed this beautiful woman?
They came to the shrine upon which the name of Lady Benten lay, the iconography of Her, the offerings, the statue, the beauty of it. And Mako, arm in arm with Priya, prayed openly, "Lady Benten, for all of my life I have felt your eye upon me, as if I was special. I have felt love, and romance, I have had a happiness uniquely mine, in seeing the value in those things. But for all that time, I did not share it, I... was spurned, or chose the wrong people. But I see now, that I was correct. You watched over me. And have granted me your greatest gift. And for this I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, this lowly Samurai-ko thanks you."

The prayer is so beautiful. Priya knows that it isnot just for her, but being the one here to share it... That is special. When it comes her turn to speak, she gives a laugh, a slight one, not mocking the prayer, but embarrassed for her own lack of courtly ability
"I wasn't special... Or I never felt special. I was just Priya, and I had a hard life. I thought that I could not know love, that it would not be for me. It was for pretty girls and strong men. And as a strong woman, I would have to find a different meaning to love.
I feel special now though... Because you brought one of your favoured children into my life. She shares her love with me, gives so much so freely to everyone. And you have walked her into my path so that we might be there and care for each other. I never felt special until now. Lady Benten, this humble Badger pledges herself to your service"

Mako was blushing at how she was named in all but explicit naming, holding onto Priya, holding the woman closely to her, and leaning up to kiss her - forcing her to bend a little to do so, "And here you say that you have no way with words, my love." She giggled softly, "That was the most beautiful thing I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. And you have stolen my heart even more with it."
She showed her love in front of Benten's shrine, kissing the woman deeply as soon as she allowed herself to be.

Priya kisses her back, letting her hands touch the back of Mako's head, a deep and passionate embrace so that she can show Lady Benten exactly how she feels.
There is nothing held back from this kiss, it is emotion, passion and communion all in one act. She had never considered herself a religious woman. She was probably more of a Taoist than a fortunist even. But this, she could never claim to be anything other than Lady Benten's servant, ever again.
She had been gifted an angel, and she had been blessed as worthy.

Mako let that kiss linger, a long kiss full of love, full of lust even, full of emotions of all range, everything she felt for Priya in that kiss, right there, in front of Lady Benten. It's long enough that Mako doesn't even notice her head become light, as she remembers she has to actually breathe. And then finally, it's broken, and Mako lets herself look over Priya, giggling.
"Hello." She says the greeting, with a giggle, "I'm Mako~ nice to meet you~" Her tongue came out as she teased.

"Hi. My name is Priya..."
She runs her hands through her hair, blushes and smiles
"What are you doing for the rest of your life?"
