And I suck at write ins.

And I'm as always not sure that my solution is in fact solution.

Was thinking something like hugging her tightly and kissing top of her head, then maybe just go to sleep without stopping hugging her. Not same romantic connotations or at least ones that imply "I WANT you (right now)", but pretty strong "I can't be without you". Probably. Maybe. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!

Er um...My apologies?
 
[X] Kiss Kaname
-[x] Just cuddle.

We let her into our walls, yes, but that does not mean that we are willing to see her dishonored before the courts, even if it is in a way that none would ever acknowledge.
 
Despite the fact that he's the Son of Heaven, Hisao's still a man trying to uphold an impossible ideal like any other samurai. It's worse for him though because he's the Son of Heaven.

[X] Talk to Kaname
-[X] Tell her that you were informed of two threats to Rokugan and had to decide which of the two to send your uncle to deal with, leaving the other threat free to move on Rokugan

Trying to build a relationship with Kaname without the chance of a Winter Child that will reduce both our and our child's legitimacy. (If I recall we do not have a Celestial Mandate as the Toturi). At the same time talking to her and trusting her should help with our relationship moving forward.

I think you missing the point here. We are not trying to connect with Kaname-the-minister or Kaname-the-confidante here. We are trying to connect with Kaname-the-wife. You push the wrong button.

We also do not have problem with non-wife parts - at least those that I noticed. We already connected that way. Just currently what connects us is duty and it's choice if we are trying for something more.
 
I think people seem to be misunderstanding the vote here. Its about how close a relationship with our wife we want, not whether we decide to father a child out of wedlock with a woman we are marrying anyway.

The issue is that this is Rokugan and not the modern world so yes I want to be careful. This is a world that has a caste system with the lowest being non people with no rights and no one objects, why because this system has the blessings of the Heavens and we have interacted with the Divine.

That is not to say a Samurai is forbidden love, no I can think of many Daimiyo who come to love their spouse and are loved in return along with ordinary Samurai. But they still do so in the bounds of society and Bushido.

I am going to check my books when I get home but there may be a compromise to show greater intimacy without going full in that straight kissing her and snowballing from their is.

Incorrect. It's vote about do we risk our wife's honor and our potential child's future to actually have close relationship with said wife.

Well, yes, but politics/strategy talk is definitely not that.

We were told there is a chance of a Winter child, or one conceived before our marriage if we kiss her. Right now our dynasty is very new and very unstable. Toturi I was our grand father and took the throne after the fall of the previous dynasty. The Hantei ruled for over 1000 years and were selected by the Kami through a tournament that saw the Kami Hantei win.

We have had Toturi I who towards the end was captured and corrupted by the lying darkness, Toturi II our aunt who seized the the throne after her father's death despite Sezaru being the legal heir before stepping down and bringing forth the challenge of the 4 Winds. The 4 winds were the children of Toturi I, our aunt, our uncle Sezaru, our uncle Kaneka and our father Naseru. Our father won and now we are his son and the 4th on the throne.

I did not express the write in well, I wanted it to come across more as confiding in her as one would a spouse when you have trouble and to be honest in our relationship.

My current thoughts are to rewrite to express that side of it more along with embracing her. That would be a level of intimacy you only do with your spouse without going to more. And I think it is an issue right now thanks to our emotional state, normally we could kiss her without worrying about it leading to more but right now we are somewhat unbalanced with the news and decision we had to make, so talking with her should help with that as well.
