It is a perfect spring day; cool and sunny with fat, puffy clouds drifting lazily overhead. There are multicolored tents trying hard to look as they did in the Renaissance period, and people in costume everywhere doing the same. Mallory had been wanting to attend the faire since she had learned it was being moved to her town after the previous

Ryu is wearing a formal kimono, edo period style, gray hakama and dark blue haori. Different from most men in their medieval suits, he carries no visible weapons, just a walking cane. "Hm, I am not going to suggest places for you to carry small objects..." But a glance at her chest and a mischievous smile are hint enough, right?

"Where do you think my cell phone is?"

She winks at him and pulls the tickets from the bag. She is doing her best to ignore all of the people staring at Ryu with interest.

"Did I mention that you look amazing?"

[falconryu]

"There is a dangerously wrong joke lurking around us. We better watch out." Ryu smiles to Mallory, and bows politely to those who look his way.

Lets see them keep 'in-character', right?

[mallory_grace]

It isn't long before some young teen aged girls in gaudily wrong costumes work up the courage to ask if they can have their picture taken with Ryu, and Mallory is retrieving that phone of hers to take some of her own.

"You're going to put the actual employees to shame. I hope none of them are silly enough to challenge you to a duel."

Actually, that would be fun...

"Is there anything you can't do?"

She's sure he can probably even juggle as well as they three men currently tossing torches between each other at the center of the crowd.

[falconryu]

He chuckles a bit. "Probably a lot of things, we just did not run into them yet."

Oh, it is likely he would: juggling is a great deal agility and hand-eye coordination.

[mallory_grace]

She just shakes her head.

"Like give birth?"

She can juggle three tennis balls, but has not really pursued the matter beyond that.

"At least you have an occupation to fall back on, if the dozens of other things you do fall through."

[falconryu]

"Like... painting." True, he can do excellent calligraphy, but not painting.

Calligraphy, flower arranging, rock gardening.

"Oh, the curio shop is more of a distraction..." Even if a very nice and neat one.
