D9 EA - Black as the heart [Expecting]

Post by Kitsu Moshumaru » Wed Aug 25, 2021 6:50 pm

Black Tea, Rice, and some Meditative time. Is there anything more a man can ask for?

Definitely, but Moshu wasn't expecting more anytime soon. Today had been... good, so far. It would have been nice if he could speak to Raizo-san again, considering...

As if summoned, Raizo appeared, and as had become customary, his pot of Akina put on to brew without his actually having to order it.

He looked around, spotted the familiar face, and nodded.

Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.

The Kitsu nodded in return, inviting the Shiba to take a seat.

Raizo took his teapot and headed over.

"Kitsu-san. An even weirder day than usual around here, hm?"

"Oh, I've been doing swimmingly. I'm still waiting for the Deer to ask us to compose a haiku while standing on our heads and brewing tea with our feet, I'll be sure to shine when that comes."

He chuckled and poured himself some tea.

"But beyond that... it's been odd for me, being in one place for so long without a gunso shouting about something or another..."

"At this rate? I wouldn't be surprised if they literally gave us that test as one final test just to see who was dedicated enough to do it."

He turned more serious.

"..How is Soyokaze-san?"

"Better. He's found a bit more... equilibrium."

A nod.

"True enough - the poor man looked ready to die when I came to his forge to negotiate. We talked earnestly about our disagreements, and at the very least walked out respecting each other."

A sip.

"A shame he didn't take my offer, however - perhaps I was simply too late with it."
