The trip to Kyoto was spent with Lorelai's face all but pressed to the windows of their bus, ogling the sights with a vocal amazement that made her look ever more the stranger in a foreign land her European ancestry portrayed her as. It made her fortunate then that she hadn't brought a camera, clumsily forgotten along with the neon teal fanny pack she'd gotten to carry it, lost beneath a discarded pillowcase as she ran from her room to make it to the field trip departure point promptly.

All this went to say she was a starry eyed youth taking in the conference with an almost undue reverence for the speakers, especially the smiths for which  she went out of her way to hound down when they had a moment to roam. She made a memorable sight, lugging a lacquered box under her arm and showing to various masters of their craft to see if any had an interest in working on it. This in turn lead to a great many disappointments, what with smith's on the hunt for bulk orders of a more commercial variety, and not the pet projects of students with minimal funds and social graces. 

Yet being nothing if not persistent, the Dutch-Japanese student had come upon a man whose name no longer elicited the same glee in the buyers as it had in Lorelai, a descendant of Muramasa himself now interested in re-forging the broken magic-annulling sword into something she could use! Just the thought of it had her absolutely giddy everywhere she went afterwards, bouncing on the balls of her feet throughout the entire tour through various schools of exorcism. 

[color=crimson][i]It's all so....COOL![/i][/color] She cried out internally, actually far too distracted daydreaming to really take to heart any of the talk. Comforted by her own use of the basics of talismans and not really feeling an affinity for magic like some others did, they all pleasantly went in one ear and out the other.
