Aimi drums her fingers on the table in thought for a long moment, studying her friend. Then, slowly, she shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Koi-chan," she says with a sigh, "But that sounds... like your line of work, not mine. I'm not looking to do good for the minor clans, and frankly the idea of spendin...

"Raizo," Aimi says, a soft smile on her face, "That was actually rather lovely. Unconventional, to be sure, but well spoken and heartfelt, with some decent wordplay and imagery." She lifts a hand. "And, before you engage in another layer of performative self-mockery, remember that there is a differe...

"I have been made the Imperial Secretary of Minor Clan Relations for the Governor Seppun Yuzu as of yesterday, and I have been advised to begin forming a team to work directly with me in the future." Her jade eyes, flickered as she spoke. "I believe that the Fortunes have drawn you into my life aga...

"The kimono was a gift from an... anonymous admirer," Aimi says with a wry smile, taking her seat again. If Koi wanted to play coy, well, that was her prerogative. "The hair piece was from Raizo-san.

Oh that makes sense, I was wondering why you might want to do literally anything other than "strike" on your first turn. But if fatigue doesn't 'count' for most cases, it... honestly still might be better to strike if it's a lethal duel, since damage is damage, but I can see the idea.

Good point, especially since 5E assiduously shied away from the blastomatic shugenja of yesteryear...
