Again, Sayomi was present in court as was expected of her. Who knew what sort of drama might unfold today!

Ryusei hadn't come to the Ikoma lands to miss Court.


He seemed a bit pensive- odd, perhaps, for one who had seen to it that his Clan's needs had been met.

Honoka was there also, watching with a smile on her face as she usually had.

Yuna was there for court, wearing a green and gold kimono, with a pattern of a snow-lined road, for winter court, and along that road, wheeled baskets of flowers.

She kept her attention on Kakita-sama, and the events of the court.

Yasuki Ryoichi made an appearance, dressed in a dark blue kimono embroidered with floral designs. He scanned the galleries to take measure of who was in attendance that day.

Eiji was there, of course, where else would he be? Dressed in his relatively unadorned black and crimson courtly dress. As the season moved on, it seemed the attention of the court was becoming more focused on gifts, much like the earlier days of court. There was still one treaty that he needed to get through, hopefully the final draft would be in his hands soon, as he was feeling the opportunity to get it through was passing them by and it needed to get through.

Doji Shinnosuke is present as usual, retiring to the gallery after presenting the Crane agreement with the Fox. What if, for one day, everyone had to make her or his proclamations in the form of a song? he muses to himself, and the vision of Kakita Hajime presiding backed by a dancing chorus of Emerald Magistrates brings a faint, perhaps slightly mysterious smile to his lips.

(open to chat!)

Sanjuro was there, wearing a green kimono with black and gold dragons. He looks around at everyone there and turns his attention to Kakita-sama and the presentations made.

Yuna has outdone herself again.

Like always, Ryushi stands next to a wall to watch the precedings.

Mindful of Higashime's concerns, Ryusei browsed those in attendance... and made a beeline for the Lion delegation- specifically Akodo Sanae

Sayomi nodded approvingly at the agreement presented by Asahina Hoshiko. It would be interesting to see more cooperation between the shugenja families of the Empire.

A certain Yasuki manoeuvred to a position a bit closer to the Lion delegation, and specifically to Sayomi, and made a discreet gesture with her blue-on-blue fan, as if indicating she would like a word if possible.

OOC: Will be slow af as training for the new job is making it impossible to post except during lunch and after leaving, but if Sayomi would grant a word we can get the talk started and finish it after dayflip
