[Day 10, Early Morning] Stir-Crazy (Open)

Post by Shiba Raizo » Mon Aug 30, 2021 6:26 am

The tea house. The dojo, The inn. The theater. The tea house. The dojo. The sake bar. The market.

Raizo took a cleansing breath... to keep from screaming aloud and jumping up and down.

He pondered literally climbing the walls, then decided the Shika would probably take issue with that.

This place is driving me insane. Can't get any privacy. Can't get away. Just...

He paced back and forth beneath the castle's walls, his fists and teeth both clenched.

A large presence loomed over the Phoenix. Said presence was Moto Bayarmaa atop her Unicorn riding horse.

She looked consideringly at the Phoenix, before extending him her hand.

"Here, come on up, Shiba-san." she offered without preamble.

He looked at her hand- then took it.

"Don't think we've met. Sure you trust me on your horse?"

A strong arm lifted Raizo up behind the Unicorn.

"Pretty sure either of us could take you, Shiba-san. Besides, I'm no frog, and you're no scorpion." she said dismissing the notion.

"We haven't met, but I've seen too tightly wound Phoenix before. That a common trait among you folks? I'm Moto Bayarmaa, and this is Pelsik."

"Best hold on." she cautions, as she gives Pelsik a gentle nudge and the trio begin zooming out of Kyuden Shika and down the trail into the woods at the kind of speed you only got from a Unicorn riding horse.

Raizo had actually been on a Rokugani pony before, so he had a reasonable handle on how to stay on.

This was a whole new level of speed and size, though.

"Name's Shiba Raizo. Nice meeting you. And I think everyone gets wound up too tight. Just a question of what over. In my case, I don't take confinement well."

The trio went speeding out the the castle grounds and into the woods. Galloping along the trail with the wind and the rain whipping through their hair, and trees racing past on each side.

"Oh, I get that. Trust me, if Pelsik wasn't around to go on these little rides, I'd feel the same way." she offers. "Sure are a lot of folks who seem content to live their lives within walls, ne?"

Bayarmaa laughed as the trio whipped around a corner.

"So...what's stopping you? Grab one of those bitty ponies you folks like to ride...heck, just run as fast as you can for as long as you can. Go swim in the rivers, go climb a tree. What's chaining you to the kyuden?" she asked.

"The need to be back by the next day, mostly. Once I get some road under me, I tend to keep going unless someone stops me..."

Bayarmaa glanced back.

"Really? That's all? You've met no one at the miai to call you back to it?" she asked, curious.
