Sapphire Ambassadors

Ameiko had indeed noticed Inori, but she could tell the Lion had wandered onto this situation. The idea of Gaitsu having some manner of...outing...with the Matsu didn't enter her imagination. "Then, my lord, perhaps we should go elsewhere and see to your day", she said and, removing his travel cloak...

A Phoenix, another subject to interrogate later.

"The fifth day since our arrival, Lord Gaitsu."

"Bayushi Ameiko", the Scorpion replied sweetly. "it is an honor to make your acquaintance."

Her head tilted a little bit, the smile touching her eyes. "I did not know Kaiu-san had decided to take my charge camping."

I kind of think that's her usual vibe

idk what you mean, she's totally happy there.

An aura of dissatisfied malice pervades the air as Bayushi Ameiko approaches from the roadside. It is a palpable, rumbling thing. She is, of course, smiling radiantly, absolutely beaming, in fact. Her soft features look positively pleased with the blessed day Lady Sun has granted. She wears her kimo...

"If he returns, tell him I will be coming to see him, then", the Scorpion declared and walked to the door way. "And clean this up", she added, then she left to go search for her charge.

Something was chasing then?

Ameiko shuddered, but only internally.

"This large man, was he a samurai? Perhaps a Crab?"

Most large people are

"Who was his companion and where did they go?" she asked. Ameiko didn't think the drink was alcoholic, it didn't seem so. What was the nature of this...mess?

Ameiko gave no preamble and simply played a marching song that may or may not have lyrics that talk about a whip, a way, and not really wanting to go to war, but too bad, huh?

The Scorpion did not wheel upon the servant, she merely motioned for them to follow her in.

"Where is the occupant of this room?" she asked. "Did they leave this morning, or perhaps last night?"

She walked to the cups and took a sniff of the liquid.

Ameiko was dressed and had trained, she went to appear before her charge to discuss his plans for the day. She had scratched at the door several times, thinking perhaps her charge was simply sleeping off something, but he had never failed to answer her before. She opened the door to have a look insi...

"Even if we don't wish to die, we must", the Scorpion observed. "Why wish otherwise?"

With Hatsuki's exit, Ameiko wore her most winning smile and stood on display as she had planned. From time to time she would changer her posture and move her head to catch different lighting, she also did a lot of courteous bowing. In the end, maybe it was actually her fault Hatsuki's technique migh...

"I think... that may be wise," she agreed, resisting the urge to run a hand down her face. That would be too obvious. She bowed instead. "Thank you very much for your willingness to help, Bayushi-san. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you in the future." "Not at all, Shosuro-san, ...

"So not because you would miss it, or because you prefer it, but because it does not matter?" she seemed amused as to how the Dragon would field that. Then she remembered it was a Dragon and prepared to be disappointed, remembering the Taoist sword student from the 100 Stances she studied with.

"Thank you, Bayushi-san." She took a deep breath, trying to calm down and process herself. "Unfortunately, there was a disruption last night, and I got less rest than necessary. I was hoping to be able to emphasize Bayushi-san's confidence, and perhaps inspire others to that with it, but it got in ...

Ameiko cleared her throat after finishing a bite of rice ball. Then she flipped the page. Only after a while longer did her eyes wander toward the Crane, who was perhaps not doing as good a job as she'd hoped in looking proper. At least by the Scorpion's standards. "Pardon me, Doji-san", she said af...

"That's-" she paused. "We have to wait for the judge's comments regardless." Who cares what those idiots whine about? They're worms. Filth. I'll scrape them off my sandals one day. At least Ameiko was processing internally. "Of course, Shosuro-san. I will, regardless, do what is proper and I am hap...

You said what now?

"Ridiculousness, I see", Ameiko declared. "Your friend should simply live a good life as an animal and be welcomed there when he dies, neh?" She sniffed slightly. "Unless somehow creatures such as he are excused from kharma?"

"... It's not bad. It just didn't make it where I wanted it to go. If you would prefer to leave it, of course I respect that." Ameiko bowed slightly, shaking her head again. "If there is a direction Shoruro-san wished to go, then my face will do the best to follow it", she said sweet as honey. "Wou...
