"Yes, it is." he smiled. "I found her shortly after the storm this morning. The jungle is teeming with life. Some of it is dangerous, from what I've been told. But, there's so much more."

"Quite remarkable," Kazushi agrees. "I'll have to remember the coloration for my next project...maybe a custom work for a valued customer..."

He glances over to Yakura to see if she'll take the bait.

"Oh, what a bother, if only I would know someone like that." She let out a laugh. "Perhaps we can discuss an appropriate arrangement...what is your stance on gambling away your fortunes, Bayushi-sama?"

When the (ugh) Dogcat (Fox, I guess...) (/ugh) was invited, Yakura did not spare the stink eye. AT least for a second, before she put on her perfect waitress smile and begrudingly gestured towards the tray of drinks. "Care for one?" The Mantis patriot inside of her was seething.

"Not much of a gambler, I'm afraid," a smile finally appearing on his face for the first time since the governor's gathering. "I get enough of that in my day job. I am always looking for new scenes, though - fashionable places to see and be seen, you know..."

"Well, I know the perfect place for that...come down to the pier sometimes. The Azure Dragon is the boat to be." She glanced towards the dancers, and smiled at O-chan's enthusiasm.

The dance had been OK enough for Ki-kun to recognise which one it was and he instinctively dropped into the matching moves, although the ever present threat of sudden Dragon fire was obviously still on his mind.
She gasped. "I could never! I'd recognise Ki-kun anywhe--oops, should I use another name?!" Kanna got a little bit closer so that she could whisper very loudly, even holding her right hand near her mouth to kind of disguise that she was whispering, but it was pretty obvious to anyone looking what she was doing.

"I expect Ki-kun from hordes of adoring fans . . . and friends."

Friends was better than sudden, random, yet inevitable fire . . .

"Of course you'd have to want to be friends . . . . wouldn't you Tamori . . . . . . . -san?"

He left the questioning gap, after all he didn't want to draw attention to the fact she hadn't introduced herself . . . but he did anyway.

"Oh gosh, I'd love to be Ki-kun's friend!" she seemed like a fan. Or just someone overly enthusiastic. "Tamori Kanna. But you can call me Kanna-san, since I get to use your special name!"

With that, Kanna twirled along with the music.

OK definitely a Tamori. Mental note to keep flammable things a proper distance away from her. Including flammable Crane Idol Singers.

"So who's going to be the Queen of the dancefloor tonight? That Mantis in far too much gold over there? The other Mantis with the mosh pit moves over here? or maybe even Kanna-san herself?"

With direction from Hiroki, Kanna viewed the competition.

"Oh, that's Ochiba of the Yoritomo. She's like... super-cool and awesome!" Then she pointed to the pale-looking Dragon, "and that's Ichitayo of the Kitsuki. She is also my friend and is super-nice and helpful!"

She didn't know who the others were. "... Ki-kun, do you know the others? Or are they our unknown rivals?!"

"I barely know anyone here yet, Kanna-san, but a club like this is a battlefield for moves, and there may well be Murder on the Dancefloor at any moment."

He pirouetted around the equally small Dragon, keeping any eye on the other dancers closely.

Kanna spun around to follow Hiroki, her eyes wide. Her hands even came up to cup her cheeks. "M-murder???"

Wow, she had heard the Crab could be rought, but MURDER?!

Oh wow that's how Ta-kun would react if I said . . . . Oh OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He put on his serious face while still moving.

"Not actual murder, Kanna-san. The Crab would not do that. It's a metaphor."

Kazushi is momentarily distracted from his conversation, giving a slightly annoyed look to the squeaky Dragon.

"Ooooh... phew! Ki-kun, you had me worried for a moment there!" she was visibly relieved, having clearly thought something terrible was going to happen.

"I had heard things could get rough in Crab space, but I didn't think it could go that far."

Kanna was totally oblivious to onlookers.

Oh Ta-kun, if only you were here and could see your firery Dragon twin . . . . actually scratch that. Two galactic derps in the same place might cause a rip in reality . . .

"They might get grumpy. They might not understand true art at times, but I doubt they'll actually condone criminality of any kind. Anyways, time to slayyyyyyyyyyy."

Perhaps he could have phrased that better . . . or maybe he did it on purpose as he launched into the moves Kanna might recognise as those used in the verse break of Orbital Drop to Your Heart!

What do you mean slaayyyyyyyoh!

It was probably another metaphor! So Kanna forgot all about what he said and just launched herself into dancing, sometimes trying to copy the moves of the Usagi Drop!-performer, and sometimes just grooving to the music she thought she heard. Mostly off-beat.

Just as enthusiastic as Ta-kun. I really hope she doesn't know any fire stuffs.

KI-kun just let the music take him for a while. "In the moment" Yu-kun called it. No choreography, just moving as the music dictated.
