[D10 LM, Soyokaze's Forge] Interesting times

Post by Kitsu Moshumaru » Sat Aug 28, 2021 6:30 pm

The Specter of death himself seemed to follow the Kitsu. It was strange - every time he was in this area of town, birds of the darker kind seemed to flock to him often heralding his arrival with a cacophony of CAW! CAW! CACAW! One could only imagine what monstrosities laid within him that his very approach made the sky weep, the winds shudder and the birds scream.

Eventually, with a rap rap rap, the Mourner approached the door.

"DAMNIT!"

The unmistakable sound of tools being thrown around booms out of the stall.

The Kitsu did as instructed, armed with more tea. Hearing the Asahina in such a state was...

His concern was obvious and to the point.

Soyokaze looked like a different man, the muscles bulging to their max from exertion on his small frame. He finished picking up the tools he had thrown and grabbed a rag to wipe down with and moved to greet his guest, not bothering to put on his kimono.

"Greetings Moshumaru-san, how does the day find you?" His words were weary but kind.

In the back of the stall his assistant lay on a mat passed out and seemingly immune to all the noise such was her exhaustion.

The Kitsu bowed, revealing his gifts.

"I bought more asahina tea and some mooncakes Kaito-san recommended. It seems I came at a good time - if your servant is exhausted, you must be near collapsed."

He looked back at his assistant and when he turned back to face the Kitsu his eyes looked more like Hikimasu's than his own. "It has been a long night and there is still much to be done. Forgive her, she is still young. I thank you for this though, I needed a mental reset I think, I'm getting no where." Were he not so tired his rage at himself would have rivaled a charging Matsu. "Please, sit and be welcome." He took a seat and let out an involuntary sigh. "What brings you here today? How was your event this morning?"

The Kitsu laid out the cakes and organized the tea, setting aside a couple of the cakes for the sleeping servant for when they awoke.

"My event was fine - but more importantly, why don't I remember seeing you at the event?"

It was obvious from the state of the forge that Soyokaze had not recently been entered, but had been working for a long time. Combined with the bags under his eyes and heat he felt, the Kitsu had his conclusion - he just needed why.

"There is much I need to do here and I lack the talent to do it quickly. My time and effort is better spent here then embarrassing myself for the Shika's amusement any longer. Thank you for the tea." He took a sip, then another. "I'm growing tired of being used for the amusement of others." His eyes were accusatory, but something suggested the accusation wasn't directed at Moshumaru personally.

The accusation was met a stern look - if the Mourner had done something wrong, he would meet the accusation head on. He thought to reply to the comment on the Shika - then to the comment about entertainment - but then he remembered why Soyokaze was in the forge.

"I am here at my own demands, the only villain here is time. I am crafting a blade for someone and a good blade takes time, something I-WE are running out of here." He took up one of the cakes and ate it far faster than was proper. "So what did the Shika have you do today, was it dueling? I'm sure that will happen soon."
