 I am throughly enjoying my trip so far. It is a treat to watch Echizen play. 

...Sadaharu, what exactly are you doing with those rose petals?

Comments

[karupin]

I'm that good.

...Whatever he's doing, don't let it near me.

[supergreatmomo]

It's probably to counter the smell of sweat.

[yanagi_renji]

I'm sure Sadaharu would be more than happy to let you have a sample.

[karupin]

Don't care.

[yanagi_renji]

I hope your winning streak continues.

Something is ...bubbling in the corner. Perhaps it would be wise not to come to our room for the time being.

[karupin]

It will.

So much for the honeymoon suite.

[seriousaura]

That's good to hear, Yanagi.

[yanagi_renji]

How are you doing, bocchan? Have you been eating at least three meals a day?

[seriousaura]

I'm fine, Yanagi. I've been managing at least two.

[yanagi_renji]

Please try for at least three. I shall remind Arthur to feed you more.

[seriousaura]

I assure you I am in no danger of wasting away.

[yanagi_renji]

Yet your honourable mother is always convinced otherwise.

[seriousaura]

It is a mother's constant worry that her child is not surviving without them. I'll call and assure her I'm well.

[inui]

I'm collecting them. I wish to take them home and make a brew to give to my plants.

[yanagi_renji]

How are you preserving them?

[inui]

In glass vials.

[yanagi_renji]

Customs might have something to say about that.

[inui]

It's the only way to keep them fresh.

[yanagi_renji]

Would they be less effective if dried and powdered?

[inui]

With what I have planned, yes. The petal oil is essential.
