WHO: Izumo-no-Okuni (spiaconcioccie) and Giuseppe Adama (l-giuseppeadama WHAT: A friendly (??) walk and talk WHERE: The beach WHEN: Afternoon, December 26
He was intrigued, very intrigued. That it was one of the beautiful young women whose company he had enjoyed on Solstice who had contacted him held promise of some many different potentials. It went without saying that he would meet her. He walked onto the beach quite a way down from where she had asked him to wait scanning about in what may have seemed idle attention but it was more or less a facade he sometimes used to mask intense concentration.
Not that he didn't enjoy being on the beach. It was actually one of his favorite places in winter. He continued to glance around and though he saw her gave no indication as he continued to the spot she had suggested. Finally he reached the spot and stood starkly still as he gazed out over the rolling surf.
She was so lost in thought, wondering if Gipo would know anything about the red-eyed "demon" Okuni constantly kept her ears open for because of the travelling he'd done, among other things, that she didn't notice he'd been standing down the beach for his own reasons. If he'd heard anything about Kyo, or Kyoshiro if he was passing himself off with that name, she'd be very happy to know it.
But when he drew closer to her, Okuni snapped back to reality and the present. She took the last few steps and looked up at him. "Something on your mind today?" she asked, sounding calm and happy.
She raised an eyebrow. "What do you miss?" Although part of her knew the answer already, asking was the polite thing to do and didn't give away that she'd looked up a few little things about the man already. And right now, Okuni had to stay polite.
She thought for a moment before walking off the beach and towards a little blue building nearby. "I briefly went to high school with the woman who runs this place. She left town for a while, worked as an army medic, but now she's back and happier than ever. It's been months since I spoke to her for more than a moment."
Okuni seemed calmer, and for the most part, she was.
He was glad about the choice she had made. It would give her a chance to remember some happier memories he hoped. She seemed to have relaxed a bit and that was good.
"Sounds like a good choice," he said encouragingly.
Okuni spoke with the pink-haired woman for a moment and seemed very, very happy at some news that she heard, even giving her a hug before turning back to Gipo. "What do you want? Everything here is good, unless there's something new I'm not aware of."

"The best black coffee with double sugar," he said to her with a wink. "Do they serve cannoli? I'm partial to chocolate chip cannoli."
It was fun to be silly every now and then too.
