Utaku Hisui looked at the rain.
Once, many years ago, she took a cab to the shopping district. If she was being very generous, she might even think this was the same cab. The only thing missing was the lovely visage of Kakita Natsume, who shared the ride with her all those years ago.
Today, though, the trip wasn't to a shop that specialized in exotic goods from the Colonies. Today, she was after decorations. As she walked the streets to seek out Gothic decor for her room, she clutched an order slip in her hand. Two ceramic cups, custom-made to her specifications. The idea came to her, amusingly enough, as she watched the craftsmen work.
With that special purpose done, she decides to look around. There were other things to see. Maybe other gifts to give.

"Looking for something in particular Hisui-San." When had they been so close for Otomo Katsumi to speak their given names. Otomo Katsumi approached behind Utaku Hisui. Ahhh alone at last my tasty delectable dessert. Again it was all Otomo Katsumi could do to avoid licking her lips in anticipation of a delicious meal to be devoured. "I was wondering if perhaps you would enjoy some... company."

"Otomo-san. What a surprise." She smiles, perhaps a little unguarded. She bows as suitable, holding her things in her hand. "I wouldn't mind, as long as you don't mind the rain."

Otomo Katsumi smiles and nods her head to the Utaku. "I suppose a light bit of rain never hurt anyone Utaku-San." She takes her place beside the older woman. "So tell me Utaku-San what is it you are shopping for this day?"

"No, but a little light rain might lead to one of those twists of fate," she says, remembering why she was in the infirmary that day a bloody, delirious little Crane was brought in. "As for shopping, I'm thinking it's time my quarters looked less like a barracks and more like someone actually lives there. So decoration is in order."
"Primarily black."

She shrugs her shoulders. "A bit dreary don't you think." She glances at the Utaku and smiles at her. "Trying to impress a crane perhaps? One with an nontraditional sense of style?" She shakes her head and chuckles. "What a fascinating answer. I'd love to know how you two became a thing? When I saw you in the Hot springs it was as though you two barely knew each other and then what two days later you are a thing?"

"My father's side of the family are priests of the Lords of Death. The tastes of the Crane you speak of align well with more than a few memories of my childhood home," she answers, very pleasant. But still a little guarded. "As for your other question, I'm sure you'll agree a lady must keep her secrets."

She chuckles and nods her head. "I would normally agree. However it is just us two ladies and I confess I find you two oddly adorable." I must break you. She smiles sweetly at Utaku Hisui. "I guess it seems so rare to find someone who seems so truly in love is all."

She sees that sweet smile, and something familiar stirs. The attraction, sure. But also a memory of someone who smiled in much the same way. "Why so curious? One would expect the sensei for Bushido to understand love is a distraction. One that most samurai would prefer to avoid, at that."
"Or am I to be a lesson to your students on the dangers of such attachment?"

She smirks and nods her head. Is there something about me you don't trust dear Utaku-San. Come now you seemed so much easier the other day. "It is true that Bushido has strong opinions of what love should and should not be." She looks the girl up and down. "Love is a distraction to inner peace. However I do not believe you to be one searching for enlightenment Utaku-San. No offense I say leave such things to the Dragon. I find love to be a rather lovely concept don't you?" What better way to break someone right?
