Sapphire Ambassadors

He smirks a bit "Oh that certainly is perilous, and you tempting me toward it rather safeguarding against it. Quite perilous indeed." It was his turn to look thoughtful before nodding resolute "I believe I'll risk it. I have a feeling such a journey will be worth the risk." Otoko nods. "I like to t...

Otoko's mask, as always, betrayed nothing of her reaction to the Crane's words, though an expert courtier probably would have noted the tightening of her grip upon her fan. "Ah I see. A difficult choice indeed. But hopefully one that won't come to be regretted. We all must live our lives facing forw...

Yoshiaki chuckled a bit as she spoke shaking his head in amuesment "Well I can't say I know a monk with all those laudable qualities but perhaps I could make a suitable stand in until you find them?" Otoko brought her hands together. "An excellent idea, Yoshiaki-san. Though there is a reasonable ri...

Almost as if on cue, Shosuro Otoko strode into the manor, ready to lay claim to her prize. Though she did slow a step when she saw the blob of a Phoenix had already rolled himself here. Her mask, though, betrayed no sign of surprise. "Ah, Doji-sama....Shiba-san, an unexpected but welcome guest here ...

Yoshiaki nodded "Indeed, I didn't think you had a strict schedule you adhered to. Was just looking for a time frame." They walked a little further "how would you feel about a monk as a companion on that circuit?" Otoko struck a thoughtful pose. "Hmmm, depends on the monk. I don't think I could take...

He listened "having people around doesn't mean you can't feel lonely sometimes." He said casually. "I have enjoyed much of being here, many new exciting things. But I still miss some things from home, people I usually talk to, curious about them and what's going on." He thinks for a moment "when do...

He smiled looking to some of the flowers before focusing more on her, he could see her better since she walked close to him. "Does that get lonely? Staying on the move so much? Does it make it hard to create lasting connections?" Sh raised her sleeve to her mask as if covering a laugh. "Oh, I am ra...

He chuckled lightly "Yes but at least you were well supported." "As for me I'll return home for a time. Return to my craft." He was quiet for a moment "but I think eventually I will set out again. This trip has shown me so many things I have missed working away in my mountain top home. I believe I ...

Otoko nods. "There is indeed. After all, it would be sad for one of my supporters to not have their time in the light. You've certainly been both well supportive and not nearly as prone to catching rumors as my other supporters." she offers. Walking the garden, she takes time to enjoy a particular r...

Yoshiaki took a large breath in "Indeed it is. Refreshing." He replied with a small smile as he began to walk through the gardens at a casual pace. "How have you found the tournament Otoko-san? Did you spend time with those you wished to?" He asked recalling their conversation earlier in the week. ...

He smiled back "Indeed it is, and feel free to call me by my chosen name Yoshiaki. I feel we've shared enough tea parties to warrant that." He said with a small chuckle "I had thought about seeking you out regardless so it seems fate has done the work for me." His grin was small and a little subtle...

Yoshiaki had done his usual routines for the day and now simply wished to relax a bit. This time he chose a garden more his speed walking along the path between the petals of the flowers. It was between showers at the moment. Yoshiaki loved the way the flowers looked, still wet, droplets rolling do...

"Sound like a good story, Shosuro sama." Shizenko finished her tea. "I think many people will enjoy it." Otoko's, meanwhile, was untouched, but apparently she had somewhere to go. "Indeed. A pleasure sharing tea with you, Kitsune-san. I'll be sure to give your regards to your family when the time c...

"There is this one about a daughter of the moon that came to earth and fell in love with a mortal men. It's a sad love story... but it has some moments of comic realease." Otoko nods. "I believe I know the one you are speaking of Kitsune-san. Romance is a topic ripe for both tragedy and comedy. " S...

"I like romantic stories and comedies as well." She smiled. "They tend to convey many emotions. They give me hope and ease of mind."

Otoko nods.

"I expected as much. Might I ask what your favorite one is?" she asked

"I have seen a performance or two. I always wonder how the troupes choose what they will perform." Shizenko wondered. "As for being a performer myself... that is not really for me. I am not subtle and not to good at saying lines." Otoko looked her up and down. "Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that ...

This eleicited a small shrug.

"Ah well, I strive to bring the performing arts to the far flung corners of the Empire, Kitsune-san, but I am but one woman at the end of the day." she said, a hint apologetically. "Is Kitsune-san particularly interested in the theater?"

"The Fox will receive you. I on the other hand be heading to Daidoji lands. Probably won't be there to receive you when you arrive. But I can send a letter for my family to receive you." The Kitsune offered. "The Scorpion land are close by so you won't be so far from home." "Oh, I've no worries abo...

Why then not live in one? She thought. "Must be a great sight. I am yet to visit Dragon lands. But Rokugan has many places to visit. I just pass by many places. I miss out on their beauty." Otoko nods. "It is, though the lands of the Fox have their charms too." she allows. "Though it's been awhile ...

The Kitsune tilted her head. "I have seen the mountains from affar... I have visited Mori Isawa." The Shosuro seemed eager for the Kitsune to meet this Shiba. "They are quite beautiful." Otoko nodded. "I am rather fond of the mountains myself, though my travels tiypically take me through the Dragon...
