He gave a simple nod
"Yes, I should have an appropriate kimono..." He crossed his arms and gave a heavy sigh
"As long as I don't brew the tea I should be fine on that" be seemed to mull but over something "But for...rhetorical purposes...how would an honorable samurai act?"

There was a small frown at the question. "Simple polite etiquette Susumu-kun. I assume you would have studied it among the Mantis? Or are you concerned that what you have studied may not be at Imperial Families standards? We can test this if you wish, and I can correct any obvious errors."

"Ah! I can do simple etiquette!" He exclaimed
"I was afraid there was something more involved"

"Well there is many levels to etiquette of course. The etiquette of tea, how to act around superiors that aren't going to be enticed by your delightful charm" Suihime smirked "my mother is very proper, as one would expect of someone who has ties to the Throne. She will be judging you. Not everyone in the Imperial Families is as charming as me."

"I'll ask her about that then..." He said with a grin "So shirtlessness is to be forbidden?"
He stroked his chin
"How can I show her my best side when I must act so...formal?"

"When it comes to mother, formal is your best side."
Suihime sighed.
"Please understand that while I do not share my mothers opinions, I understand her views. It's her duty to arrange marriages, and she puts that ahead of anything else. She doesn't view it on a personal basis, but on a clan basis; what does each clan stand to gain, what do they stand to lose. It appears cruel, but it is how marriage goes."

He squinted his eyes
''I see''
He drummed his fingers on his desk
''What does the Miya and the Gusai gain from each other...''

"Every clan, great and minor, has much to gain from a closer relationship with the Imperial families. I'd say the Mantis are already seeing a benefit, neh?" Suihime pointed out, before continuing "what the Imperial families stand to gain from the daughter of the Imperial Matchmaker marrying out to the Mantis is perhaps a little more difficult. An Imperial doesn't marry out easily."

He gave the Miya a shrug.
"In truth I did not really consider what the Mantis would gain from being closer to the imperials...I just want you."
He finished his sentence with a devilish smile, looking into Suichan's eyes

Suihime was caught out by Susumus comment, her fan quickly drawn instinctively to cover her face, her eyes meeting his. "Ah...well...that's good to know" she replied with a blush "and I think highly of you also Susumu-kun. I'm certain you will be able to find a way to make this work."

He approached with slow steps, not looking away
"That, I will. I am not one to give up"

She held his gaze, watching warily from behind her fan. "I know you're not. Neither am I."

He tilted his head, sporting a curious expression
''But what is it you want? Who is it you want?''

There was a frown. "You truly need to ask? There is many likely extremely powerful people that I could become wed to. Hantei-denka recommended a champions son. Yet here I am, with you, pushing you to reach greater heights, so that we can be married." She closed her fan, a look of determination on her face. "You should not doubt my commitment Susumu-kun."

A wolf's grin appeared
''Do I doubt?'' he leaned in and whispered ''Maybe I just want to hear it''

"Baka" Suihime repljed quietly, using the tip of her fan to pretend to bop his nose without actually touching it "you're annoying sometimes, but I'm glad you're taking this seriously. My mother takes marriage extremely seriously after all."

''Sometimes only? You must be getting used to me'' he gave her a wink
''But of course I take it seriously''

"Good" Suihime nodded "I had better return though, before someone questions why I was out all evening with a roguish Mantis" she gave him a smirk "unless there is anything else you need?"

He wiggled his eyebrows
''I could think of a few things...but perhaps not tonight''
He stretched his shoulder for some moment
''Come see me before we leave, I'll give you some tips for the voyage''

Suihime resisted an eyeroll. "Such as the correct way to tie a rope in order to achieve maximum swing? I have lead a voyage now, remember."
