<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/bb/1c87q.jpg)</div>The arrival of the boisterous Scorpion is surprising enough to cause a slight widening of Reiko's eyes, scarcely noticeable.  When the large figure is suddenly revealed as a woman... Reiko's soft lips part, barely stifling a gasp.  Her eyebrows go up at the imposing young woman's boisterous attitude.  Still, despite that, Reiko had to admit that she was managing to pull it off; clearly, their hosts were impressed.  Perhaps it would be worth keeping an eye on her.  Especially since she was a Scorpion.<br/><br/>While Reiko's lovely features remain carefully expressionless at the appearance of the voluptuous courtesan and her assistants, her lips thin ever so slightly as the opium pipes are offered.  Knowing what she did of the Iroha family, it should come as no surprise; their reputation was widely known.  Still a tiny shock goes through Reiko at the sight of the powerful and rare medicine being offered so casually as recreation.<br/><br/>Bowing once more, although only slightly to a courtesan, her lithe body moving gracefully, Reiko speaks.  "Give my thanks to our hosts, Michiko-san, but as an Asahina shugenja, it would not be appropriate for me to partake of this.  In order to speak to the kami, my family believes that mind and body must maintain purity."
