[D14, MA] prayer (open)

[Agasha Yuna]

"Oh, it would mean such much to us if you could come! And will be quite understood if you can't."

"Alas, we do not control the exact timing of it. I think the weddings typically happen a couple months after court at the height of spring, but any time prior to the next winter court is possible."

"Happily, ours does not depend on something else occurring first. There were marriages arranged of that kind - like my brother's marriage to the young Isawa skilled with the kami of the earth. That one will only happen after she has studied six months with the Ageki and decides to take the vow, or to marry another Agasha who does not require a family vow."

"But I would be very glad to see you again, at the wedding, or if the Fortunes bring me to Otosan Uchi."

"Perhaps also at winter court in a year, though I have no particular reason to think I will be asked to be a delegate again. My courtier skills were rather in demand among the Dragon which has no courtier school of its own. There are many courtiers among the Phoenix, and many with my same Loremaster training."

[Shiba Ryusei]

"But few with your experience of speaking before not just the Imperial Winter Court, but this rather difficult one. To say nothing of your inherent good ties to the Dragon Clan, and... honestly, I suspect you're more likely to get the nod than many."

[Agasha Yuna]

True.

"Perhaps. There are, for all of us, the ties we made to those here. And prior ties, like my connection to Miya Hachi and his wife."

"Ah, I like the thought it may be a chance to see many we met here again, though it is a hard duty, for sure. It is all coming to an end so quickly."
