I think it'd be best. I 'preciate it." A strained half-smile flickered across her face as she nodded gratefully.<br/><br/>Kotone approached and offered to share her tent, and Maseko could only shake her head and smile at her.  "Ah, Generous Kotone!" she sighed, "That'd be wonderful!"  Again, she knew that Kotone could see her plight, and that she'd be willing to share her shelter regardless of Maseko's condition only underscored the generosity and acceptance she'd already displayed today."The kami were feelin' a mite impish, sister," she offered in explanation to Kotone. "But they're settled now, an' they were kind enough to stop rainin' on us an' clear the sky," she continued, as she held one hand out to catch the rain that wasn't there anymore, along with a quick glance heavenwards.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shorter post I think.  Was gonna bookend the post by going to sit by the fire and dry off, but didn't want to just walk away. I'll wait for a fire to be confirmed in any case.  I don't want to steal Shiori's thunder.  Or fire.</div></div>
