"Pretty much... although a sufficiently catastrophic match could be fatal..."

He seemed... pleased by the thought.

"Of course, those catastrophes would involve people a hell of a lot more important than I am. Still. It's nice to think about."

"Sure, fatal if you were arranging the marriages of the clan champions, but there's nothing of the sort going on here at all. We're just... mostly average samurai. Some of us have a bit more notice than others, but not really by too much." After a quick shrug, they started stretching their arms out briefly, idly.

And we seem neck-deep in lunatics to boot

"As you say."

A pause.

"So who did you piss off?"

"To get here? The Otomo matchmaker and Benten-no-kami, probably. I know she certainly doesn't like me for some reason"

Blink.

"You?"

"My commander tells me it's a privilege. And a means of securing my bloodline, since my parents only produced the one child. But I have to assume I irritated somebody."

"Probably whoever wants you to make babies. Commander maybe? Or even your parents or lord. Though, I know I certainly wouldn't call it a privilege. Children are way too annoying for that, even if you can shove them off on a wet nurse."

"Honestly, I'd take the ashigaru over a child. At least they usually aren't trying to get into everything that would kill them like a child is."

Raizo snorted.

"You clearly haven't spent much time around them... unless they're kept busy, they will find other ways to be busy. You ever see grown men taking bets on which one can hold his arm over a flame the longest?"

"I've been around the Miharu occasionally when they're off duty. Some of them can be kind of silly, especially when you remember that they're essentially only around twenty seasons old for the newer ones. Half of them can't even grow beards and those that can are trying to show off what few chin hairs they've got." They frowned, brows furrowed, but then shrugged.

"But never around grown men trying to hold their arms over flames longer. Their flesh must be unhappy with them."
