Day 12 [Late Evening] I Am Kasuga Kairi (Closed)

[Kasuga Kairi]

"Not yet... Right now, I just want to enjoy where I am. Right now. With you."

[Otomo Shibosha-e]

Shibosha-e nods and reaches out for Kairi's hand.

[Kasuga Kairi]

Kairi takes her hand and caresses it. While doing so, she has another sip of wine.

“Have more wine. Please. This is celebration...and we have much to celebrate.”

[Otomo Shibosha-e]

Shibosha-e accepts the refill, then takes the bottle and tops off Kairi's.

"I'm not sure if the proscription against pouring your own holds for this, but best not to take the chance, eh?"

She takes another drink, and the warmth is spreading out from her belly to her throat and face--and elsewhere, it must be admitted.

"And every time I am with you is a celebration, Kairi-chan. Every time."

[Kasuga Kairi]

“Is that right?!...How so?...Do I make you feel something worth celebrating?” she asked with a wry smile.

[Otomo Shibosha-e]

"You do! Every time I am with you, I feel full to bursting; my heart swells within my breast, and my limbs surge with strength. I shiver at the thought of your touch, Kairi-chan, my love, and melt at the recollection of your lips on mine!"

The warmth of the drink has stoked the passion in her, it is clear; the dim light in the room is bright enough yet to show the flush in her face.

"Do you not for me? Do not I stir you?"

[Kasuga Kairi]

Awfully eager...

Kairi set her cup down and took Shibosha-e by both her hands.

“You do. You very much do. I also learned to enjoy every single moment. Rush and you miss something.” she brought her hands to her lips and kissed them softly.

“If you rush into battle, you can miss a tactical advantage.” Kairi turned Shibosha-e’s palms up and softly kissed wrists.

“If you rush in a duel, you miss an opportunity on your opponent and give your opponent an advantage. You die foolishly because you rushed it.” Kairi then took the Otomo’s right arm and kissed up to the fold of her arm.

“If you rush strong drink you only make yourself sick and you never enjoy what comfort the drink can bring you.” Kairi then moved to the Otomo’s neck giving it a soft kiss and then she whispered in her ear.

“If you rush eating, you never get to enjoy how well the meal was made, how well it was presented. You will fill up too fast making you sick never wanting to eat that meal again because you rushed and did not truly enjoy it.”

Kairi then gave Shibosha-e a soft kiss on her lips then smiled warmly at her.

“Do you understand me Shi-chan?! Rush, and you mess up everything. Take your time, and you enjoy everything and more.”

[Otomo Shibosha-e]

The flush that suffuses her is only partly from the drink and from the excitement of Kairi's hands and lips upon her, the thrill of her breath in her ear.

"I have always been more eager than skilled."

She palms Kairi's cheek gently, her thumb tracing an arc on her face.

She takes Kairi's hand, lifting it to her lips and kissing the tip of each finger in turn, then the palm, then the inside of the wrist, letting her lips linger where the flutter of her pulse could be felt.

She continues up the arm to the fold of the elbow and breathlessly whispers "But I am trying to be a better student in such things."

[Kasuga Kairi]

Kairi smiled at her then took the Otomo by the nape of the neck and drew her close.

“It is a good thing that I have read the book you gave me, cover to cover. It is a good thing that I like to study.”

Kairi gave her a long, soft kiss then parted just enough and met her eyes.

“I like to show what I learned. You like being a student. This will be our first lesson together. Lesson one...” Kairi kissed Shibosha-e’s neck then looked back at her.

“Patience is a virtue.” with a playful smile, Kairi began to show Shibosha-e the virtue of patience.
