Senshi blinked in astonishment, both at Haruka and at the Khan. He had never forseen this. Senshi decided to chalk up the last minute as 'can only happen in the Unicorn clan' and was too surprised to know what to do next. Acting on finely honed scorpion instincts he bowed his head and said, "We wed within the month then. You are invited to the ceremony of course, but we all understand if you need to stay due to the damnable Yobanjin invasion."
Senshi never being one to beat around the bush stood up then, realizing that he had accomplished what he came here for, even if he didn't know why he had to be there in the first place. He bowed at the waist, "I will of course be sure to direct my clan's commanders to report to you at your earliest convenience, hopefully my clan's men under your guidance will be a boon in the days to come at the keep. And unless there is anything else, Tomatsu san and I thank you for your hospitality and will be leaving now."

He continued to stand up, even after the Khan had spoken. His facial expression, much softer now, Khan-san, I understand your need to protect your clan. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. While this is not the first marriage I've attended, this is my first as matchmaker and certainly the most important marriage I've attended. I believe we are a just a little on edge about it, so let us all end on a happier note, before I must speak to the bride.
He bent down and lifted his tea cup, holding it aloft. Heres to the happy couple, may they live a long and happy life together with much honor.

Senshi pulled his cloth mask down, revealing his face so that he could partake of the toast. Smiling of course, but clearly flushed.

"To the Empire, to victory.. and to a brighter future for us all."
Haruka's mind clearly still focused on the tasks ahead, but standing strong and proud. She'd been pushed into a situation where she had to act and so she did. By some miracle it seemed to have worked perfectly.Although one could only wonder if anyone else could have done any better.
Raising her cup with the others with a nod to the three Champions.

Yoee also raised his cup, a broad smile on his face.
- Kampai! he shouted before downing his cup and laying it down on the table.
He gazed at the three other samurai around the table, first the Shiotome, then the Scorpion champion and finally the Lion champion.
- I can foresee a bright future for our three clans, he said cheerfully. As soon as we will have dealt with these gaijin dogs, I will organize the greatest feast ever seen in the Empire. To rejoice after our victory, but also to celebrate the marriage that will be a landmark, the beginning of a very strong alliance between us!
There is one saying, that the Khan had learnt before his gempukku. Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Perhaps he was trying to put it into practice? Or was he sincerely happy? His mind and intentions had never been easy to see through.

He finished his tea. Khan-san, the Lion would be honored if you would allow us to co-host the party for the defeat of the Yobanjin. In our tradition we host a large party for the returning samurai of our clan. Rather than try an compete with your party, perhaps we should join forces and host a massive party for all of Rokugan. As for the wedding, I expect you'll want to host that on your own, and I have my own duties during it, and hopefully a lovely lady to attend to of my own. He smiled looking to each of the faces around the room. Speaking of which, Utaku-san, I have a gift for you, once we are done here. Do not let me ride off to the front without giving it to you.

Senshi nodded in agreement, "We could agree to such an arrangement, let the wedding be held here then."

Haruka seemed to breathe much easier now and seemed visably relieved after all of it. She seemed very curious to know what the Lion Clan Champion had for her on the eve of battle though, especially after such discussion.
She would certainly seek him out as they readied to part ways. She walked gently over in her armor to him and his horse 'lioness' as he was readying her for battle.
"You wished to speak with me, Tomatsu-sama?"

Ah my dear I do. I had 3 servants die running this package to me from Shiro Akodo. He hopped down from the horse and went digging into one of his saddle bags. He produced a laquer box from his bag, he held it out towards her and opened it facing her. Inside sitting on purple velvet sat a long silk scarf, dyed a perfect Unicorn shade of purple.
My lady, I present to you, what I believe is the perfect mask for you. Light, breaths, and still maintains near full head covering. Its popular in the Burning Sands and I had to go to great lengths to not only procure it, but to get it in purple, appearance they do no have purple in the Burning Sands. Utaku-san, I would love to see you try it on, of course away from your betrothed. I as well, have some, advice as it befitting my position as matchmaker. He struggled to get the last sentence out, in obvious embarrassment.

Haruka genuinely smiled as she put the cloth back and resealed the box. "After the battle, before we wed we shall see that it suits me. But I do think it shall. Keep it a secret until the day I wed if you would."
She bowed deeply to him as she had him hold onto it. "I am so very grateful for your gift Tomatsu-sama. I could not have thought of a better mask for my integration into the Scorpion Clan. I will never forget this gesture and consider this a favor well owed."
