Senshi sighed, regarding his arm, "I am told by my finest medical minds that I should relax, and rest while it recovers. It has been reset, and just needs time to mend. And truth be told, I can't stand that. I follow a particular teaching that states any inaction is an insult to bushido. That rather one should always be a step beyond vigilant and be acting toward the cause. It has bred a sense of impatience in what I do. But frankly, I can think of nothing I'd rather be doing right now. This hunt will be good for me. I can actually take a chance to relax my arm, somewhat, and still feel like I'm serving a purpose."
He looked down at Haruka, "But that could only be possible if you came along on the hunt. And for agreeing to keep me company, I thank you." He bowed to her, but never averted his gaze, as he straightened a cloud shifted, causing the moonlight to grace Haruka with a very favorable glow. Senshi noticed then that his gaze may have lingered on her body a little long, and looked back into her eyes. Which were equally as breathtaking in the moonlight.
"That same drive to action may be playing against me right now, actually. I need to excuse myself before I do anything more unbecoming then I already have. In fact, my servants will want to check up on my arm, so that they may chastise me gently about my misuse of it this evening. Thank you again, for being able to talk to me, regardless of the awkward situation I put you in. When next we meet I will indulge you with a few stories, to repay in kind your generosity to me."
He took a step back, then bowed again.

"I look forward to our hunt Senshi-sama, and if there is anything you may need of me, you need only ask."
She gave a deep bow in response as she let him return back to the main party along with the others. She had noticed his gaze, but hadn't taken the least bit offense, but her pleased mood seemed to show that she was happy that he at least admired the way she looked, and not just the fact that she could hunt a decent stag.
She would remain in the placid garden, allowing him to return and tend to his needs as her mind would stray watching the small pond reflecting the crescent moon. She found herself amazed to have found such a fine man as a companion. She'd met so many people in a single day it seemed simply bountiful in acquaintances from all over the empire.
But even so with all she had to be proud of, representing her family in a victorious competition and making an honorable presentation before champions of the other clans. She still found her mind lingering on the still fresh memory of her gentle meeting with the scorpion champion.
She could only wonder what might be in store for their next meeting, with that silky smile on her face. She would return to the party then after, rejoining the diners as she continued to mingle as usual, and no one seemed to suspect a thing..
