A stroll through the gardens... ( Day 69 )
Who: Seimei and anyone/everyone else he happens across.
When: Day 69
Where: All about the Bastion.
What: Familiarizing himself with the denizens.
Format: Action
Warnings: None likely.
[ Having decided against taking up residence in the apartments and bowing out as gracefully as possible, Seimei had elected to sleep under a tree, leaning back against the bark, expression serene. He was untroubled, it seemed, by his plight and the plight of others. Just another obstacle to overcome. Rising early - so far as he could judge time - before anyone else appeared to be wandering about, the onmyoji decided to spend his time exploring, pacing the perimeter of the Bastion and fanning himself idly with his tessen as he hummed a nameless tune.
Without any particular purpose or direction, he eventually begins a spiraling path in towards the center, stopping on occasion to watch the horizon, inspect a plant or, if possible, gather an idle person to walk with him with the intention of learning about the Bastion, but more importantly, about them. He has a deep curiosity and need for knowledge, and while he would be loathe to admit it, he enjoyed socializing. Without the social stigmas of his birth and occupation that he faced in Heian Kyoto, it doesn't seem unlikely that he could make friends here.
That, and he wanted to distract himself from the inevitable need to accept that he would likely never again see Hiromasa, the only friend he had ever really known.
So it is, without any particular direction, Seimei sets to explore and socialize, unperturbed by race, gender or species. After all, at the end of the day, who was he to judge?
Each person he comes across is cordially greeted and invited to walk with him. ]
Anou, sumimasen.
[ He began every time, offering a polite bow and smiling behind the curve of his paper fan. ]
I am Abe no Seimei. I only arrived yesterday and was wondering if you would have a moment to speak.

[Sorry, Seimei, you've hit on something she's passionate about, and she's not going to take no for an answer.]

Then I must gracefully accept your offer. I eagerly await an opportunity to dine with you, Lady Rin, and I am honored by the invitation.

Good. Glad to hear it.

[ The onmyoji bows deeply at the waist, rising slowly and arching a brow with a smile. ]
I look forward to sharing a meal. Hopefully I will get to return the favor.

I'm sure you'll get a chance, Seimei-san.
