Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor
The man's face is stony. "Clan and family can have... priorities, as well. Practical considerations," he says, sounding slightly distant. "Bushido will not allow me to do less than my best in the challenges presented. But to the extent there are choices to be made... There will be much to consider."...

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai
"Those all sound like nice things," Ishioka says emotionlessly, as if his companion had suggested people would marry to make dragons appear or to bring rain during a drought. After a bit of a pause, the Lion looks at Oubaihime. "Are you here for one or more of those things? Or simply to heal any, uh...

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor
"So Usogawa-san counsels that I consider entering, not necessarily that I enter. Interesting." Ishioka has a slightly curious look on his face as Narumi's steps forward draw him into taking a step closer as well. The impression is of his feet having made a decision without consulting his brain. "Doe...

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor
Ishioka raises an eyebrow in response.
"While I may not need an Otter's permission, why would I not welcome their counsel?" the Lion asks curiously. His voice is like the gentle rumble of far-distant thunder. Being without one's armor and being at ease do not always coincide."

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai
The Lion nods. "That's very important work. Most honorable."
As he notices another Dragon samurai entering the inn and then heading upstairs, there is a small flaring of nostrils but little other reaction. "This miai is well--," he emphasizes with a sarcastic tone, "attended."

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor
Ishioka's eyes narrow slightly as he considers the question. "It is useful to consider the reasons for the differences between the various lands of the empire," he says, not really addressing the question. "I think a good samurai shows awareness of their surroundings." He glances at the building and...

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai
"Do you often find injured people in your temple? I wouldn't think a temple would be a dangerous place." His voice didn't sound joking, but like he was genuinely curious about her temple hurting people.

Re: [D0, MA, expecting] Being a conscientious visitor
Ishioka's head slowly turns toward the Otter, and he blinks as he considers her comment. "Of course," he says, sounding a bit skeptical butt not argumentative. "It is... A bit different style than one sees in the Crab lands. The... discrete exterior... is less essential there, perhaps." After a paus...

Re: D0MM A short stroll
Ishioka raises an eyebrow as he watches the swift-moving Dragon leave him in the dust. "Most curious," he says, a tone of genuine curiosity running through his short comments. "Unfortunate that I must have misunderstood her." As he begins to pick up his things and ready for the line awaiting entry, ...

Re: [D0, LA, common room] Being a sociable samurai
He looks up at the young woman completely expressionless, his eyes consider her for what might be an uncomfortable moment, then he gestures lightly toward a seat. "Of course," his bass voice rumbles quietly. As his eyes return to tracking other people, he comments rather blandly, "Matsu Ishioka of t...
