(D8, EE, Open) Tea before Art

[Soshi Eiji]

Eiji nodded.

"Well, I feel like I should toss my favor behind Raiden, though they are not favored to win the match." he admitted.

"That's right, Raiden's from Ryoko Owari," Ryoichi nodded. "I know he's not highly ranked, but surely he has some tricks to even get into this tournament. What's his story?"

"Ah, well, I'm sure Yasuki-san understands there are many who misunderstand sumai. They're intimidated by their stature and think that such people cannot grasp the finer things of life. As if they live to but eat and grapple. But Raiden is quite the cultured fellow. Did you know he has a permenant reserved seat in the Imperial Theater in Ryoko Owari Toshi? True, training comes first, but he is always welcome to attend the performances and makes as much time as he can to attend." he reveals.

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Raiden is quite the cultured fellow. Did you know he has a permenant reserved seat in the Imperial Theater in Ryoko Owari Toshi?

"Truly, Soshi-san?" The Yasuki tried to picture a sumo wrestler sitting and enjoying theatre. "His reserved seat must be very ... uhh .... magnificent in order to accommodate his stature. Still, it is admirable that he patronizes the arts. Perhaps such a refined fellow would do well in Winter Court if given the chance."

Eiji nodded.

"Truly, Yasuki-san, on all counts. If you cannot tell from the design of the seat, his house mon is emblazoned above it making clear just whose seat that is. In fact, he probably would do quite well at Winter Court. He is quite well versed in the etiquette of sumai. Plus if some reed thin courtier tried to opposed him on the court floor, he could easily launch them back into the galleries." he said.

The last part was humorous, but the rest was true at least.
