"But what is done is done and I disrespected the chrysanthemum by showing him that to me the simple samurai he should be." She shook her head "Sometimes the idea is just that, neh...Sometimes the simplest things hurt the most."

"Disrespect is unfortunate, but we will hurt others", he stated the simple fact. "What happens between people after the hurt determines whether or not you can be friends, or if anyone has learned anything important. You've made it known you'd like to mend matters, so then think of how you can do so. Feeling sad about it is well enough, but do not dwell. In order to improve things you have to move forward."

He gave Raizo a nod, but didn't interrupt his training.

"I don't know Shosuro san..." She looked at Raizo as she considered the offer on the previous day. "But being called liar and taking thing that one think are dear... shatters that trust of friendship." She sighed.

"Only if there's no forgiveness, no apology", be countered.

"That will come in time. Hopefully." The Kaito stood up, taking her bow. "For the wrath of the Water Dragon is not one to be taken lightly." She knocked an arrow and it flowed through the air reaching the target in the middle. Raizo might note the change in the Kaito. The peaceful woman she is doesn't do threats lightly.

"Hopefully", he echoed her and raised his bow as well. "What will you do now?"

"For now, we wait and..." She moved to Raizo.

Despite having been bodily carried out of the room earlier in the day, Raizo walked back in with little sign of the persistent soreness in his midsection.

He simply picked up his practice naginata and started working through his forms, his defeat in the duel put completely out of his mind.

"Is the offer still on... the last one, not the violence against the flower but the one of the latrine."

"Is the offer still on... the last one, not the violence against the flower but the one of the latrine."

He paused in his routine. Looked over.


"That sort of thing tends to get violent, at least in a small-scale fashion..."

"Small scale can be controlled. I have seen the flower trying to get Ebisu's blessing and failing." She smiled at that. "I wonder if the greens right now stay or it would blossom out."

"Well. Timing is everything, and a certain amount of discretion would be needed. As well as deniability."

Hikimasu had at least the manners to pretend he wasn't hearing all that. He hadn't been asked for help anyway.
