Kyuden Shika

He walked into the temple, looking neither left nor right.

He stood in front of the tree, his hands on his hips.

And said nothing for a good, long while.

Slow, dragging footsteps Raizo would probably recognise by now indicated, after that long while, he had some company. The man in the wicker hat and the dirt-covered clothes approached slowly and calmly, a neutral, calm expression not particularly readable in his face, his eyes facing the ground.

Seeing the Shiba's body language and hearing his silence, he kept silent as a grave as he approached, and equally so as he placed himself besides the man, respectfully waiting for him to acknowledge his presence - or not - before turning to him and bowing.

Raizo glanced over his shoulder.

"Suzume-san. I rather doubt you're here for the sweet sound of my voice."

The shrine maiden was around but didn't interrupt the two bushi. She just kept sweeping like the dutiful keeper she is.

After a low bow and a "good evening" to both Raizo and Oubaihime, the Suzume offered Raizo a respectful calm, friendly face, but not quite a smile. "That's a warranted doubt, Shiba-san. I came to look at the temple that's kept me company so many times these past few weeks. But seeing one I respect apparently troubled has added to that."

A nod to Oubaihime. "Kaito-sama, it's a great pleasure to see you here one last time, too.

She looked at the Suzume and joined the conversation. "I hope Inari no kami has blessed you this evening." She looked at the Sparrow and smiled. "Like wise Suzume sama. I hope your travels will be swift and you get stories to tell."

She turned to Raizo and sighed. "You know... Raizo san.. I think I have something you may need."

"'Troubled' is a bit too mild for what I'm feeling, Suzumue-san."

He glanced at Oubahime and managed a rather sad smile.

"Kaito-san, I need a great many things, so you probably do have something along that line."

"You know I don't have that much to give but please accept my med kit." She knew that his road was going to be hard.

He sighed, smiled, and shook his head.

"I'd barely know what to do with it, Kaito-san. Besides. Our superiors might look a bit askance at anything you choose to give me, hm?"

"Like you said many times F them. Besides, it might come in handy. You should still change your name better. How about Raitsu?"The Kaito smiled.
