There were those eyes again, different than those of the eyes she remembered looking into the night before, when both women had moved as one. What was with those eyes? They had appeared before, when Ariiko was first thinking of leaving, of leaving Noriaki behind alone and unsatisfied. It was because of those eyes that Noriaki fought so vehemently to keep Ariiko from departing…and now, here they were again, toying around, toying with the young princess, but more importantly – toying with Noriaki’s expectations, to say nothing of her feelings.

The whisper spoken to Noriaki caused the poet to glance towards the princes and then back to the crimson gaze of Ariiko. What kind of offer was that? Such language, so foul and forward. Noriaki was not one for defilement, despite having been with her share of pre-bloomed flowers, and she had a suspicion that until the night prior Ariiko was one of those, but she never considered it defiling. Such negative connotations that word held, and Noriaki found herself shaking her head.

“If what you speak is true, Ariiko, about my pleasure being only for you,” Noriaki cared not that she was speaking aloud, “then why do you need the princess as well? I was willing, I still am willing, to turn my back on an assignment from the top, all for you. That’s akin to desertion, that’s akin to signing my death warrant. I am willing to give my life away, all for you, for you are my muse. And this is how you think it best to treat me? To instead offer a chance for both of us to bed the princess? No. No, I’m not going to play this game, Ariiko, and if you were not serious in your words the last night as I was, then say so now. Say so now, so I will not be hurt down the line. Say so now, so that I may continue to long for Kaede or Akane or Asuka in good conscience. It is Starlight, or it is darkness.”

Noriaki’s eyes were narrowed, showing a hint of anger that, until now, had not been seen by any, least of all Noriaki.

So this is what dancing felt like. It was even better than the movies made it sound like. She let Hans lead, clearly he was more experienced when it came to such things, and that was fine with Anna. While they were dancing, Anna simply looked into Hans' eyes, oblivious to the camers snapping photos, oblivious to the whispers, no doubt other business execs voicing their shock or their negativity. None of that mattered. Anna gave a quick, momentary look of concern when she felt Hans' hand dip a bit lower than what the movies show, but Hans was the expert, maybe this was how the professionals did it.

And that's when Elsa walked over, interrupting the dance and causing Anna to wonder waht the problem was.It was a party, right? Dancing was allowed at parties. "Oh, Elsa," Anna replied, slightly awkward, not sure if Elsa was angry or just....protective, "This is Hans. He's showing me how to dance. Isn't he just so handsome?"

At this, Anna craned her head, pointing it towards Hans, wanting Elsa to see for herself.

Noriaki gave the princess a pat on the head and a smile, a genuine smile, at the acceptance of her being allowed to leave, to turn her back on the protection in order to carve her own path, to become the best poet, and the best warrior, her muse at her side. And, as if on cue, the woman that was hre muse appeared, carrying Noriaki's blades as well, without even asking. Noriaki turned as she heard the familiar call of Starlight, and she beamed, like a proud parent.

"And here she is now, my muse, my precious Ariiko. It was she who shared her self with me, it was she who woke up in my arm, and it is we who will be travelling together, and spending more sleepless nights for years to come. Take a good look, everyone, for this might well be the final time you see myself or my muse."

And then things got worse.

Ariiko dropped, literally dropped, Noriaki's swords to the ground and scooped the princess in her hands, leaving Noriaki wide eyed and confused. What was going on here? Was she, Noriaki that is, the victim of a classic Noriaki move? The bait and switch? Promising eternities and then switching when someone else came along? Is that what it felt like?

"Ariiko, pay no mind, my muse, pay no mind to this girl or her followers. Do you not remember our promise? Our agreement? We are to travel together, now let us go, we have the blessing of the maiden here,"

Noriaki bent down to pick up her blades, affixing them to her waist, before pulling gently on Ariiko's clothing. This was getting embarassing, Noriaki getting out, well, out Noriaki'd.

Hanami won't hate Noriaki, x] She just finds her actions to be poor and is choosing to ignore her until she takes a stand for what she signed up for. >:D

Everyone seems to think Noriaki signed up for protection.

She literally signed up because it was stated that there would be FEMALE WARRIORS.
