The Suzume hears him speak about each of the lands with a wide smile and clear curiosity on his face. At his question, he furrows his brow and takes a hand to his chin, then keeps silent for some seconds before answering.

"Hm... I don't think I have. I mean... I've heard shugenja chanting to the kami now and then. But... I don't think it's really similar to what you're saying?"
"It's... quite an unusual experience. To hear something that... human, but to not understand a word of it. A group of Yobanjin- on their side of the border- were sitting around a fire and singing one night. We were there to maker sure they didn't cross over, but... they didn't. I think they were a hunting party, they had a couple of mountain goats they were carrying. We could see a lot from where we were."

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.

The man listens attentively and seems to ponder on his story for quite some time. "That's really something, ne? I've... heard a few stories from people beyond the Empire, mostly from the Unicorn. It's hard to even imagine it, really, for me. I wonder... do they think the same thoughts? Feel the same things?"

A smile at Raizo. "There's really a lot you can learn by travelling."

"Oh, I'm pretty sure they feel the same way about a pebble in their sandals as we do. Sure they get hungry the same way."

He grimaced.

"They fight and die like we do, certainly."
