On the bottom floor of the teacher housing, in the common room, Akane waited; The tables and folding chairs were set up, and she'd bought a platter fish tacos from Long Jono Silver's, just in case. Now she just had to wait.

Hisui arrives too, bringing a few bottles of good sake and a platter of fried dumpllings. She hoped Fuyuko would attend this. It was a smaller party, and hosted by a good friend. It would be a good way to introduce her girlfriend to them.
"Akane-chan!" she calls out. "Where do you want these?"

Akane goes from neutral to a beaming smile as Hisui enter, "Ah! On that big buffet table with the tacos. You're the first here, Hisu-chan; Makes me happy."

"I'd gladly skip an Otomo party for a date," she answers as she puts the stuff on the table. "But I wouldn't miss this."

Shortly after arrives Fuyuko. She is wearing an elaborate white gown with a funeral veil and her eye-patch on. She has a tiny top hat on her head and is carrying a powder blue parasol on her arm. In her hand she has a basket with plum wine as well as a container of cold brew coffee and some tiny little crane shaped cookies. Also noticeable on her is her new bright purple fan she wears at her side. As she enters she bows her head. "This one thanks you for your hospitality and wishes to be allowed in?" The creepy little woman says softly.

Hisui lets out an audible gasp at the sight. Not the top hat or the other details. As breathtaking as those details were, as much as she wanted to stop and stare, they didn't draw her eye. No, the light touch that Fuyuko added that really got her attention was the bright purple fan at the side.
She wasn't ignorant. She knew the old tradition of exchanging fans. She just never considered it.
She's stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought to do the same, not with everything that went on. In fact, she'd completely neglected to have anything in a suitable color on her attire or on anything she had with her. And there Fuyuko was, making a subtle announcement to the world.
So she decides to compensate with a gesture.
She grabs her girl's hand and nudges her inside. "You look absolutely stunning, darling," she says, without a care for who might hear. "Have you met Akane-chan?"
And then a whisper. "I'm sorry I didn't think to get a Crane blue fan."

Fuyu gives a small nod as she walks over towards Hisui, taking her hand gently in her small gloved hand. "You look stunning as well Hisui-chan." she says in her soft emotionless little formal voice. Seems to be her default at large expected social gatherings as she enters. "This one does not think she has." she says before she leans over to Hisui, pulling an additional fan out of her sleeve, a simple powder blue fan. She leans in to whisper behind it to Hisui. "This one got one for you, no refusals needed. If you wanted one." she adds insecurely, lowering the fan so Hisui can take it if she wants before turning to Akane, ready to great her host.

She resists the temptation to kiss. It was what she wanted to do, but hand-holding already seemed like it was a bit much. She wouldn't risk Fuyuko's reputation, no matter how happy she was. Not only that the Crane came to the party, but at the fan being present.
"You're so thoughtful. Clearly you're the smart one in this relationship," she says, taking the fan with pride. One might even say she poses with it, as if showing off its lovely color. "Thank you."
And with that, she allows Fuyuko to greet Akane, while the Unicorn remains close to the door to greet whoever else came in.

Akane comes up to Fuyuko and the smaller woman finds an arm suddenly around her shoulders, "Nope, can't say we've met. So, you're the one who stole Hisui-chan's heart, hm? Lucky woman! I'm Ryudo Akane, but hey! I think Hisu already said that much... Oooo, wine, very nice!"

Fuyuko gives a small smile to Hisui and inclines her head as she takes the fan, quite happy they would be making the exchange togehter. Then suddenly Fuyuko stiffens suddenly at the arm around her, face going ever so still. Clearly she is not used to being grabbed too much. "Oh. This one is pleased to meet you Ryudo-san. This one is Doji Fuyuko. She is glad to meet you."
