"Hopeful that I may yet land a magistracy," Nesshin replies, addressing his agenda roll, "and well, besides!

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.

Tameon gave Raizo a sour nod.

"That is good to hear. I am sure that Shiba-san honors his sensei at every such opporftunity." he offers seriously.

"Is there something with which I may assist?" Nesshin asks. Good for a host to be helpful, after all.

Raizo... chuckled.

"Not with a bow in my hands I don't. Fortunately, Shika-san was more interested close-quarters combat..."

Taemon paused in front of that opening.

"Yarijutsu is a more traditional art among the Phoenix than kyujutsu. Honoring our ancestors' ways is good." he replied.

"Had a very... one-sided conversation with the resident Moto on that subject this morning, actually. She appears to think that literally everyone in an army should focus on archery. Didn't seem to grasp when I mentioned that we have units that specialize in it. Which I'm not part of."

He seemed more amused than upset.

Taemon frowned at that.

"Their ways are not ours. I have seen little evidence at the miai that they have much to connect them together." he said.

For his part, for the moment, Nesshin watches the exchange.
