Yeah, while I do pay attention to appearance, all of them have meanings.” He guesses that bluffing won’t work with Kitiara-chan. He hadn’t noticed until now just how perceptive she is. "It isn’t anything bad, just wouldn’t be polite in front of someone I just met. Especially a young woman.” He struggles subtly with keeping his face fairly neutral, trying to prevent himself from blushing. He is probably making it sound much worse than it is, but his being flustered has him off balance socially and mentally. He takes a sip of his own water. Inside his head Susanoo is just laughing hard at him.

XXXKit merely shrugged as he said that, a little amused. “Only slightly... it was more just how sort of passionate you are about this. You know what each book entitles and exactly where they sit on that shelf. It was a lucky guess.” She said realizing she should stop admitting the level of observant she was. How quickly he got the books off hinted how often then had been taken and put back, meaning he read them more than once most likely. Then he had quoted the meanings of each of them so quickly with ease it was obvious he knew what he was talking about. “I think you are professional level. It is really beautiful” She told him before hearing his reason. She stopped talking and blinked a few times. Could flowers have such a meaning? He did not seem the type but perhaps she misjudged? She supposed to each there own, he admitted and it was obvious he did not have people over often. “O-oh....” she simply said, blinking a few more times at him. Now she was not so sure she wanted to read those books; it might be a bit much to take in. She really shouldn’t be so surprised seeing as he had romance books on the shelf. For all she knew he had a girlfriend, the flowers could be practice for her. Ah yes that makes more sense. And makes this a little less weird. She mused to herself as she took her time with taking a drink, more as an excuse for her silence. Still even as she guessed it could be for a lady friend, she could not shake a feeling something was telling her that wasn’t the case. She brushed off the strange feeling and just stayed quiet. She kept her eyes low and averted them from him, trying to not think about how that sounded. Perhaps that was why flower arrangements sold so well around holidays, then again how many knew all this information about flowers? Do I really want to step down this rabbit hole? I very well may never be able to look at the beauty of flowers again. Whereas with my ignorance of meanings I can just appreciate the beauty of the plant and nature itself She argued with herself. Osano was very keen on keeping the secret perhaps she should let him keep it, she had dumped his tea so she did owe him one. Kit slowly placed the cup back down, finding herself unable to even look at his bookshelf now. She had originally been curious what the books were about but now for the first time ever she ok ignoring a book. She was fighting the increasing push to be curious; she did not plan on prying any more than she had.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 123 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 He gives a small laugh. “Don’t try to fool someone who passes their day fooling people. That wasn’t luck. And you are right about how passionate I am. I enjoy speaking without words at times, and flowers can be great for that.” He pauses for a bit while he wrestles with Susanoo is his head over what he should do. “I wouldn’t call myself professional level. My displays are overly simplistic. I thank you for the compliment though.” He then continues to wrestle with Susanoo, eventually relenting when Susanoo mentions she would find out later from the book. “Horii stands for single. Specifically, looking and single. Hence why it could be so embarrassing to say in front of a guest, especially a female guest. Like I said, nothing bad, just embarrassing.” He runs his hand through his hair in a nervous gesture, unsure what she would think and how she would react. “I spend most of my time alone except when working with division mates, though most of my jobs then are still solo missions. So I didn’t think how the display could look to a guest. Guess I messed up.” He gives a nervous chuckle before hiding behind drinking from his cup, his cheeks red.

XXXKit fought the smile that wanted to cross her lips as he said that, trying to avoid meeting his gaze. She listened to him explain he liked speaking without words and nodded. “Someone who passes there day fooling people hu? Interesting and curious statement.” She told him with a slight smirk. “I can understand your enjoyment of the message flowers, it is sort of romantic, which makes sense.” she commented, having noticed his book selection. She set the cup down as she observed him as he admitted what it meant and why he tried to hide it, blinking a few times. “ First off flashy displays are overrated in my book, the simpler things are more sweet and the meaning doesn’t get lost in the glamour.” She told him before shaking her head as she thought about how to say her piece. “You do not have to explain you know, it is your home, and you decorate it however you like. Though you made it sound a lot worse than single. Who cares if you are single and looking, who cares if you show that in a beautiful flower arrangement? There are a lot worse things you could have forgotten were out when letting a lady come over.” She told him with a laugh. “There is nothing to be embarrassed over. People have things they wear to signify they are taken so why can’t someone have something to say the opposite?” She added. She was not the least bit bothered by what it meant. “I hadn’t thought to even ask if you were single, wouldn’t want a jealous girlfriend having issues with me being in your home alone with you. That is one drama I would rather avoid” She stated before musing on if that came out right. “There is no shame in being single, not everyone has time to dip into that storm. It is easy getting caught up in work or hobbies and... being single. Not nearly as bad as me. I am single and tend to completely avoid society. Not that I am against it just not …. Something that’s happened. “She rambled, glancing away. “Let's uh... change the subject... Outside of flowers and books, what else do you enjoy?” she asked him.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 He smiles at her comments. “I was embarrassed less by what the arrangement said, and more about me declaring it out loud in front of you. With flowers you can get away with saying things that would be considered impolite to say out loud.” He gives a chuckle at her being worried about a jealous girlfriend. “No, I do not have I girlfriend. And if me having a girl over made a hypothetical girlfriend jealous, then she definitely doesn’t know me well. And it isn’t I don’t have the time, more that no one has shown interest.” He notices her attempt to change the subject, and politely follows. “My other hobbies? Tea and swordplay are two big ones. I don’t have a wide variety of hobbies.” He takes a sip of water, finally managing to calm down his blushing. Are you going to tell her the embarrassment is because you find her attractive, sweet, and kind? Osano nearly chokes on the water. Absolutely not Susanoo! He thinks back. Susanoo just laughs. You should.

XXXKit blinked at him with her pale eyes and shook her head. “It is nothing to feel embarrassed about. Sure, a little awkward to admit and talk about, but it's all good. Though that seems...never mind. I suppose just a difference of opinion. “she stated before glancing away. She wondered what he would consider impolite as meaning with flowers. She dares not ask no matter how curious she was. She shrugged as he commented on the girlfriend comment. “With women you never know... Wait... what? Seriously? But you are so sweet. “She blurted out, rather surprised no one had shown interested in him. He is so sweet and adorable, wait no he... Yes but no not that way she chided herself as a light tint went to her face realizing what she said and what she had just thought. “But I get it... No one being interested, being busy with work... also makes it hard. “She stated before being fully ready to move on. She cleared her throat and took another small sip of the water. “Tea is a nice thing to enjoy. I admit I need to practice more with my sword. I see... just too busy or nothing else piques your interest?” She asked him before getting wide eyed. She set the cup down to go over to him. “Oh goodness are you alright?” If allowed she would pat him on the back, concern clear. She wondered what had made him choke.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 Osano quickly recovers himself and turns to Kitiara. “I am fine, thank you. Water just went down the wrong way.” He coughs and follows her change of subject. “Those are the ones I tend to focus on. There are other things I enjoy, but I would list those as the main ones. I spend most of my time with them.” He looks her in the eyes now, his green eyes focusing on her. “What about you, what do you enjoy doing with your free time?” His eyes dart to the side and then back as he rubs the back of his neck in a nervous way. In his head, Susanoo laughs his head off before talking. Look at how close she is, and so sweet and kind to dash over here when you started coughing. Osano mentally glares at him again while outwardly he waits for Kitiara’s answer.

XXXKit flickers her gaze over him with concern, wondering what had made him choke like that. She frowned but did not comment about his answer, instead she welcomed a change of topic. She listened to his answers with a slight smile. “I can understand that. It is easier to spend more time on the hobbies you enjoy the most.” She told him before meeting his gaze. She couldn’t help but notice how green his eyes were as their eyes met. That is a pretty shade of green. She admitted to herself. Her own eyes were a unique shade of light blue, that always made her feel self-conscious about. She was musing about that for a moment before realizing he asked her a question, she shook her head and looked at him again more focused. “Hm? Oh, uh well I used to not have free time but uh. Reading as you know. I like art, drawing or working with different mediums. Music... that is fun as well. I love being outside, gardens and flowers are nice, but I have no green thumb” She admits before pausing. She realized two things, the first she was rambling a lot today and two she was still very close to him. She got wide eyed and flushed before stepping back a little. “Ahem, s- sorry. I will ah you are good, I will yeah seat. “She stumbled out with as she retreated back to her seat. Oh my, ah just stop talking She chided herself as she sat back down. She caught his gaze again before forcing herself to look anywhere but at him. She knew it was bad manners, but she felt like she was making a fool of herself right then. She worked to regain her composure, hoping he had not noticed her flush or that she was staring at him. Nothing wrong with check-no not that no no no. He was single but nope nowhere did that come from. She mentally chided herself. She did not know what was wrong with her today, this was so not like her. Sure, she had always been so work driven she barely looked at people, but this was uncomfortable. She would let him do some talking now, she did not quite trust what could come out of her mouth.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 Osano notices how clear the color of her eyes are, a very pretty blue color. They were so clear he almost expects to see his reflection in them, like pools of spring water. She then answers his question, causing him to snap out of it. Before he can reply, she moves back to her seat. He starts to think about how he wished she had stayed next to him, he liked being near her before stopping that train of thought early. “Art is nice, I enjoy making art occasionally, when something particularly inspiring strikes me. Poetry, suibokuga, and occasionally a shigajiku. I am awful at music, I lack the ability to carry a tune. I do enjoy listening to it. I agree about being outside, it is often more relaxing than staying inside.” He makes no mention of her looking around instead of at him, nor the flush in her face. He felt the same way, he was just better at controlling how he acted outwardly. He is unsure of how to continue the conversation for a moment, eventually finding something and quickly saying it. “What kind of music and instruments do you play?” This girl has him completely off guard, and he doesn’t know why. You do, you just won’t admit it, Susanoo says, calling him out on it.

XXXKit could feel her heart beating a little faster as she thought about how pretty his eyes were and was disappointed to be sitting where she was. She was struggling in her head; this was so unlike her. If he had not been looking, she would have patted her face to try snapping out of it. She felt her face grow even warmer as she tried to not think such silly thoughts. She cleared her throat and took another sip of the water. “I... do not know if I am good at music but I do enjoy it. I can play and sing a little. I am much too shy to do it in front of people though. “She admitted before musing on her better answer. “I can play a violin and piano mostly, oh and guitar. I have dabbed in others but they did not take as much. I love classical music, and some more intense stuff.” She admitted with a smile. She wondered what else to talk about, keep the conversation going to avoid silly thoughts “So... I take it you have a mischievous side? I heard what you said at the tea house... about getting even?” She commented, curious what he planned to do.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 He listens to her list the instruments she plays. “Those are good instruments. I would love to hear you play sometime. I feel like you would be very good at it. Although I guess being shy I won’t get to hear it.” He sounds a little sad about it as he says it. “I do have a mischievous side. I enjoy messing with people in various ways. Are you possibly referring to the man who crashed through the roof about me getting even? I don’t know yet, but I will eventually find something. He did destroy part of one of the nicest places in Soul Society. It is right up there with the Bath House and the Gardens. Have you visited either of those yet?” He takes a drink of his water.

XXXKit felt her face heat as he said that, shyly looking away. She was not used to talking to people but it was nice, she felt at ease with him and he was rather easy to talk to. “I am shy but I suppose who knows. I do not own an instrument anymore though. I suppose if I get a nice enough apartment or house...I could look for one” She mused, noting the sad tone of his words. She wished she could be bolder but she was so nervous that she was terrible. She looked at him when he answered about being mischievous, giggling a little as he admitted it. “Oh? How interesting. And yes, that rude man who crashed through the roof and started picking at people.” She huffed; her eyes narrowed a bit. “Well, I do hope you get him good, and I can know what you do.” She told him before looking surprised at the bath house and gardens. “ N-no I haven’t. A bath house? Oh, a garden sounds lovely, I love flowers and reading outside is a great way to relax.” She said as she wondered what they looked like. She assumed the bath house had sides for each gender or rather she hoped. But the gardens left all sorts of images in her head of what beauty it could hold. “I might just have to get out more and see what else this place is hiding from me” She admitted with a laugh.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 Osano grins. “I will let you know when I do something, and what his reaction is.” He takes a drink of water while she admits to not having visited the garden or bath house. “Well, once everything calms back down, perhaps I can give you a tour? Show you my favorite places here, and some others that could help you with training.” He takes a small sip of water before continuing. “The garden is lovely, the flowers there are quite beautiful, and it is usually a very relaxed, peaceful place. In fact, those three place, the garden, the tea house, and the bath house are my favorite places for relaxing.”

XXXKit smiles as he agrees to let her know, she wanted to enjoy the little bit of revenge. She was much to shy to ask to be a part of it or admit why she was so for the revenge. The fool had embarrassed her so much, making such silly statements. She had been sure from all the ridiculous events he would surely never want to speak to her again, but here they were having a nice conversation. “I look forwards to what you have planned then. “She told him with a smirk. She looks at him as he starts talking about tour and the places he likes. She glances down for a moment as she thinks about that, she pulls herself together and nods. Not sure how tour and bath house would work but knowing where they are could be fun. A nice hot soak does sound lovely She mused to herself before willing herself to answer him. “I would like that. I know where very few things are around here actually... And that should change. I would love to see these favorite places and get a tour from you. “she admitted with a bright smile. She played with one of her braids as she wondered why she kept getting these little sparks of nerves. She forced herself to focus on him as he talked about the gardens, making her smile more. “I may not have a green thumb, but I love gardens and flowers. Being outside is so peaceful and calming. Plus, such places could be a nice hide away to read a good book.” She stated. Without causing a giant mess by running into someone. Though it sort of worked out She admitted to herself with a slight smile. “The only things that would make that list better would be a library or bookstore.” She admitted.
Reiatsu 440 | Speed 70 | Strength 120 | Defense 60 | Stamina 70 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 100 Osano smiles at here response. “Then when things calm down, we can train together and then go on a tour.” He listens to what she says next and then continues. “The garden is a great place to read. It is tucked away, so few people rarely visit it. And while I don’t know of any libraries except the one in the academy containing training texts and such, I do know of a few bookstores I could show you.” He is excited to show her around, though he debates with himself about giving her a heads up about the bath house. He has picked up on her shyness some, and wasn’t sure if springing the information on her there would be too much, or if he should play around by letting her find out for herself. Either way, he should have plenty of time to make a decision before they go there. He snaps out of his thoughts to resume the conversation, trying to think up more to talk about. “What about you, have you found any places you like here? I know you are fairly new but you must have visited at least a few places.”
