Nesshin nods. "I've seen several, swimming about through these waters we have here. I believe one of them is the heir to the Clan, as well."

"You don't say," Jin considered storking his chin. "I'll have to look into thatl You have my thanks, Shika-san."

Nesshin nods. "A worthwhile thing, certainly," he says, "helping to raise spirits across the Empire. But for distribution, you'd think a Unicorn or an Otter, really, with overland and riverine...endeavors," he pivots, keeping crass commerce from the talk in the dojo. Zang-sensei only indulges so mu...

"If I may know what you seek," Nesshin says, "I might be able to make one or two, yes. I've had the good fortune to get to know more than a few here." Jin nodded. "Really, what I'm looking for is someone whose family is involved in the production or distribution of sake." he admitted. "It's a parti...

"We do what we can," Nesshin responds, "with what we have. It serves well enough--enough to merit an Emerald Magistrate in residence, for one, and hope to serve in such capacities for the Clan, given that example. "But I digress!

Jin sighed. "Jus' wanted a nice night of drinkin' and relaxin, yknow? Any idea whose cheatin?" he said, keeping his voice low. "Ronin woman over there, Aimi?" She's never been introduced, just heard everyone's names bandied about and announced at events. "Needs the coin more'n most, yeah? But that'...

She raises an painted eyebrow. "Pretty much anyone as'd want a few extra coins." She shrugs. The Kuni did not view invocation of the kami in any particularly reverential way. "S'why there's usually one of us monitoring it, yeah? Not certain, just suspicious so far. But it's your contest." Does she ...

"Just checkin' and all. Long way from home, maybe do things kinda different." Her head tilts inquisitively as she leans a bit closer to keep things quiet "No one monitoring for this one for tricks? S'fine if that's the way you're runnin' up here. Earth-touched can have their fun. But you know someo...

.. Yasu, otherwise drinking at a seat near Tanabe, and feeling pretty good about both of those things, gets a bit of curious look watching the ronin pack away drink after drink. At her size, she'd almost need to be secretly pouring them into something besides herself...she'd seen someone try that o...
