The wolf-girl's ears seemed to giggle along with her, hiding her lips behind a hand. "I have to admit; it's not simple to get Jotou to do things so easily. It either takes logic or a glare."
Jotou had arranged the stones the best she could and went back to practicing the set of attacks. The slashes of her blade echoed slightly to their viewing.

Master Tensuo and Hotaru sat on comfortable cushions, a table between them and a cup to them each. The master lifted the pot, pouring it into Hotaru's cup.
Hotaru's eyes widened slightly, "It's okay, I don't mind doing it," her hands waved around the steam pouring.
"Nonsense, you are my guest. Please, don't strain yourself," Master Tensuo replied, pouring some for himself.
Hotaru's ears folded, watching him... and the cup of tea she was offered. She smiled, tail moving gently behind her, "Thank you for your hospitality."
She held the teacup; this was unusual for Kria to say the least. For once, she did not have to argue before being served or offered something.
With a bright smile, she blew over the steam to take a sip. "It's delicious," her ears rose up.
Master Tensuo took a sip, "It's mere leaves and hot water young lady, no need to flatter," he gave a gentle smile, looking back to Jotou to make sure she was doing everything properly.
"Simple things can still be complex," Hotaru sighed over her tea.
