A Chorus In The Darkness (1x1 with Jikkah)

"I had heard the story of Urashima, who was brought to the Palace after saving the emissary, a sea turtle who was tortured by a group of children...I have loved the sea all my life and knowing there was an even more beautiful part of it I had to see it and experience it for myself." Motochika said, "Now that I'm here, it seems selfish.."
 
Motochika saw Nana lean up to whisper in the Kings ear, something about the hundreds of sea life he had saved, even going so far as to watch over the newly hatched baby turtles while they made their crawl to the sea, shooing off wild dogs and birds that would have made a meal out of them.
 
The king nodded knowingly, "Indeed, it was a rather selfish desire to save so much life just to be invited into our home. Though so much life was spared that we cannot turn a blind eye to such deeds. Therefore you are welcome here for as long as you wish."
"Thank you so much." Motochika bowed deeply.
 
Nana sat back in her chair, using her sleeve to hide her mouth, cheeks flushed softly as she gazed at Motochika.
 
Nana watched Motochika with her own entranced gaze, heart beating in her chest as the voice in the back of her head urged her to go to Motochika and invite him to dance, so she did. Standing, she moved over to Motochika as he devoured the many different plates of food set out -which strangely wasn’t soggy even being underwater- and offered her hand to Motochika. “Would you.. like to dance with me..?” She asked softly.
 
He looked up, mouth full of food and eyes wide before swallowing it all and grinning as he took her hand. "I would be honored."
 
Her cheeks flushed and she pulled him along to where there where a few people and Dragonions were dancing. Nana’s movements were fluid and graceful, and she led Motochika along to the music that was being played, a small smile on her face as the two danced. “What’s your name?” She asked.
 
Her cheeks were red at this point, and upon noticing he was struggling to keep up with her dancing, she slowed down a bit, offering a shy smile. “You don’t need to worry about dancing.. Just have fun.”
 
“Are there no beautiful women where you live?” Nana asked curiously, ears perking as she looked up at Motochika.
 
"I'm intimidating...I'm a lot more, how do you say, robust than a lot of the men in my village...they fear I'm actually an oni in the guise of a human.." He answered
 
“Oni are nowhere near as handsome as you, what a foolish thought.” Nana spoke before she really thought about what she had said, face and ears flushing as she looked away. “F-Forgive me..”
 
The two danced for what seemed like hours, laughing and having fun, eating and wandering the grounds of the palace.
 
She nodded. “Of course, we can provide a place for you to lay your head at night, food to eat when you’re hungry- You’re welcome to stay as long as you please.”
 
She looked down at the floor as they walked, ears burning. “O-Only if you wish... I may be busy at times... but I will do my best.”
