Who: Koharu & Other Mission Members PLUS anyone walking by
What: Kissing Frogs is...sure a mission.
When: All day!
Where: In a corner of a courtyard in Ironwall
Rating: PG? Kissing of Frogs WARNING

Settled in the corner of a courtyard, the sound of frogs is audible a few streets over. A dozen small boxes litter a circle around Koharu, settled as she is on bench, and a flask of water to one side. A little frog is balanced uncertainly on her palm, croaking. A thousand frogs split between a few girls was still far too many frogs, she thought, but it was a mission she was unfailingly qualified for. No one would let her do anything unless she took missions--or that's what she'd heard.

A little sigh and she leans down to kiss the frog's head--easily the least weird part to kiss--when the frog simply hops out of her hands and across the courtyard.

"No--no come back. Come back!" Raising her skirt to avoid tripping, she gives chase, trying to catch the stupid thing without actually hurting it. It pauses at the edge of traffic and she nearly has it--before it hops just a foot away from her hands.

"No--stop hopping!"

[And Ninian also bows a little, guessing it's fair to do so, before taking her stole back.] It's nothing, really... I wouldn't know what to do either, and even worse if he or any other frogs suffered any harm.

[ourparadise]

I don't know. I suppose we really shouldn't find out. [She heads back to the crates of frogs]

[afrozendance]

You have a good point... the poor things. [And then she has an idea.] I have my own crate nearby, Miss. Maybe we should help each other with this task...? It could be benefitial for us two and for the frogs.

[ourparadise]

It really would be. That sounds like an excellent idea. [She goes to look at her crate] Should I come to you, or you to me?

[afrozendance]

Maybe you should come with me... I'm in a more quiet spot, so the noises won't scare our frogs more than they already are.

[ourparadise]

That sounds like a good plan. [Koharu picked up the crate and hefted it up to her hip. It did have the side effect of disturbing the frogs and the chorus of croaks gets a little louder] Lead the way.

[afrozendance]

I will... I have not brought my crates, I hope the frogs are all right. [And after nodding, she begins leading Koharu to her more quiet "corner".] Ah, forgive me for being rude, but I do not think I remember your name milady...

[ourparadise]

[She follows quietly, trying to keep her frogs from being any more disturbed than they already are. She's unused to being addressed as milady but tries to take it in stride.] Oh, I don't think I introduced myself...I'm sorry. Izaki Koharu. Or just Koharu.

[There's an awkward curtsy instead of a bow simply because it seems easier at this point]

[afrozendance]

[She's polite like that, almost everyone is "sir" or "milady". But she means no harm, and nods politely at her companion.] Ninian... that's me. And I will remember your name from now on, Dame Koharu... I'm really glad for your company.
