"I am no more stupid, Asahina-san, than the man who is tasked with carrying laundry and then choosing to fall into the river. What were they thinking?"
The implications were obvious.
"If the Shika pay attention to that and, somehow, miss the fact I have been moving into Seppun Unsei's chambers nightly, then no fortunes in Rokugan can help us. By simply looking at what I painted they would see my heart is hers and hers alone."
The Kitsu continued.
"Secondly, great? Do you remember the last time you had to explain the brutal, tragic truth of war and call it great? Or find great joy in explaining that no, not all Matsu are mindless berserkers, not all Ikoma are crass baggarts and not all Akodo are heartless shogi players?"
The Kitsu sighed.
"But you are right. What I propose risked a lot. But in my attempts to save the last great Crane, I have been called a villain, a puppeteer and a cheat while offering what might be literally everything you ever wanted. Twice. At no cost."
There was a deep regret in his voice.
"I am done with that now."
He got up.
"Either the last great Crane can save himself, or he was already dead to begin with. I have given you the tools necessary - use them to forge a new destiny."
The rain seemed to fall again. The wind seemed to pick up speed once more. And, simply as he appeared, the Lion moved to leave. He paused one last time, to see if the Crane had any final remarks.

The Crane simply walked back to his forge and began hammering with fury.

Out of sight, mind and the forge, the Kitsu looked up to the rain.
"You could have been something, Soyokaze. You could have been great."
Taking out his parasol, he began to walk away.
"And now all you'll be is another victim of Lady Doji's regret."
/scene, thanks for the scene, man!
