She saw no reason to hurry, so she properly tended to her long hair and nails before dressing for the welcome feast.<br/><br/>Where once she'd seen weddings as happy, jovial occasions, she now had more of a unique perspective because she was betrothed. On the one hand, her heart went out to the bride, but the truth was she didn't know whether this was a marriage that Otomo Hisayo wanted. For all Hana knew, she might simply wish to follow through on her duty to her family, or she might love her fiance, but that didn't change the fact that Hana despised the way the young were sometimes used like go-pieces in their family name. Maybe that meant her duty to the Agasha family was wearing thin, but Hana couldn't give a damn. She would view it how she would, but her duty - such as it was - would require her to act appropriately, and that she would do.<br/><br/>Once she was dressed in her clean, silk kimono - it was quite beautiful and immaculate, and she didn't wear it often - except usually when attending her Daimyo's court, shoes smaller and infinitely cleaner than those worn on horseback, and with her hair neatly styled, Hana joined the gathering. She recognised a few familiar faces immediately - Hida-san and Asahina-san, the latter of whom she'd met in the bath house. She recognised that another Dragon was nearby from his robe - Mirumoto Hideo, though she didn't know his name, but she had no wish to interrupt him or Hida Kazuhiro, so she chose to first approach Kitsune Mara of the Fox Clan instead. "Hello Kitsune-san, I am Agasha Hana of the Dragon Clan. It's a pleasure to meet you. There are a few samurai in this room who I know, and many I do not. You seem one of the happiest. May we speak?"<br/>
