"I say it's pointy, like yours." Karura leaned on her sword as she spoke with Urutori. They were discussing the unattached males in the Palace as they had fell into the habit of doing every now and then.
"No, I say it might be like Hakuoro-sama's, that's why he hides them all the time. What do you think, Karura?" Urutori asked, turning to the third member of their group.
A small respectful silence settled on them like a cool mist dampening their spirits a little. They still missed their leader who had been father, brother, and uncle to most of them.
"Well, I don't know..." Touka replied, quirking her long furry ears a bit. The Evenkuruga was reticent at first at joining the other two females but was quickly warmed by Karura's brash attitude. Still, there were times like these that made her doubt why she joined these weekly chats.
"Why don't you ask him Urutori?" Karura's ears waggled mischievously at the blonde, she always thought the priestess and the Commander would make a dashing couple.
"I--I don't know...it doesn't seem proper somehow..."
"If you're not asking, fine! I'll do it." Before her companions, could stop her Karura waved her arm and called out. "Yo! Commander, can you come here a moment?"
"Is it important, Karura, I have a lot of paperwork that needs to be done..." Benawi was striding purposely to his office and did not appreciate the interuption in his routine.
"It will only take a moment, just to settle a small argument."
"Alright. What is it?"
"Benawi-sama..." Karura purred, leaning to whisper into the male's ear, brushing herself on his person in the process.
In spite, her reluctance to be involved in the proceedings, Touka's ears perked up showing as much interest as Urutori. The question that has been puzzling them was about to be answered.
"If this is one of your frivolous..."
"Well, I'll be, we're both wrong, Urutori." Karura flipped the Benawi's long bangs to reveal a pair of furry ears, both twitching of irritation.
