Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai

"No need," he says simply. "I made a request already. I think there was hesitation that it might be too early, but I assured them that I will be early to bed tonight. It's been a long trip," he says, nodding slightly for emphasis. "It probably helped my request that I was very complimentary about th...

Re: [D0, EA, expecting] Being a respectful neighbor

Ishioka chuckles and shakes his head. "I won't say you're wrong about all of that. But remember, new attachments can be made. And old ones lost." Those few words come out with a little mourning in his tone, but he immediately pushes past it. "I was just heading downstairs to see the inn's offerings ...

Re: OOC Chatter

We have the cleanest campsite and the most defensible perimeter of any lodge at Camp Rokuganee.

Re: [D0, EA, expecting] Being a respectful neighbor

Ishioka gives a small smile and a chuckle at "forced to participate." "My friend the Red Demon, ever a romantic," he says with steady tone just long enough to get it out -- before letting out a healthy laugh. "Alright, reporting as ordered, then. This is... hardly my priority, but there are reasons ...

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai

He turns and lowers his voice, like he's about to share a secret. "Well, mostly, I was... Just waiting for an early dinner to arrive," he says, smiling like he finds himself very humorous. "It is interesting to see so many samurai from so many clans. Clearly there will be all kinds of people in the ...

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai

The Lion grins and emits what could generously be called a snicker, looking at the Kaito with new warmth in his eyes.

"Bushido is fortunate to have such a dedicated servant. Although I imagine it is difficult to wound the code too grievously." He chuckles again and a modest smile remains on his face.

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor

"Practicality is good," Ishioka rumbles approvingly. "Make the most of available opportunities, hm?"

He looks toward the sky thoughtfully for a moment. "I have perhaps been less than dutiful, not organizing my thoughts about the match I seek."

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai

The Phoenix wins a small laugh from the Lion with that. It's not a loud sound -- if she wasn't sitting so close, she wouldn't have heard the rumbling chuckle -- but the shake of his big shoulders makes it plain. "I appreciate having the help available, but I do not expect to be among the overzealous...

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor

"Usogawa-san's eagerness to help is admirable," Ishioka says honestly. "But a moment ago she seemed rather skeptical of working with a Lion. What has changed so quickly," he asks in a lowered voice, tilting his head in conspiratorially but giving a hint of real curiosity.

Re: [D0, EA, expecting] Being a respectful neighbor

Ishioka, having gotten used to more average sized Rokugani since he'd left the Crab lands, has to fully look up at the woman. Voice? Familiar. Size? Imposing. Mask and... With a slight angling of his head, he catches sight of the brilliant red hair. A smile starts to take over his stern face, eyes n...
