Sapphire Ambassadors

Yuiko sighed and fanned herself with her hand, "It's out of season yet to be drawing steel, I think. Besides, imagine catching the edge of a blade over art, of all things." She shook her head, "Not many stories to spin from that. Not inspiring stories, anyway." Nodding in acknowledgement to Kunio, Y...

"Inori!" Yuiko exclaimed, feigning shock and a scandalized expression. "Are you implying I, your forthright and upstanding cousin, would traffic in rumors and hearsay?" Yuiko could have been an actress as she placed the back of one hand against her forehead, overcome with emotion, the other arm hold...

"You're right, it is not." Yuiko beamed, swirling the contents of the sake gourd before uncorking it and taking a whiff. Upending the cucurbit-turned-container, Yuiko poured out...nothing. "Mugicha would have been something at least. There's naught worthwhile drink to be found!" Yuiko's smile faded ...

Strutting on down to breakfast, such as it was, Yuiko slid on up to the table where her cousin had been making with the ritual foodmaking. She announced her arrival by placing her sake gourd, loyal friend and staunch companion in these trying, kitchen-less times, upon the table next to her. "Good mo...

Yuiko shook her head. "I don't know much about what shugenja get up to, cousin. We've some relatives you could talk to who could help you, I'm sure." "I mean, go back in our genealogy far enough and I'm certain there's someone there with the same talents. They could assess you and if that's the case...

Yuiko paused. An uneaten bit of rice cracker tumbled down to the table between the two women. "Oh."

Yuiko set the rive cracker ...

N-neither do I...

Do you have fancy coffees available or just Americano?

"Eh? Why not?" Yuiko asked, helping herself to a rice cracker. She leaned on the table and waggled the half-eaten cracker at Inori as she chided playfully, "Can't stay in the dojo forever, you know. You have to get out there, bring further glory to your family's already glorious name." Gesturing ove...

In a plane!

For hours more... @_@

Sliding the door open with no small amount of force, Yuiko brushed a stray lock of hair that had fallen across her face out of the way and beamed a warm smile at Inori. "Cousin! How long has it been?" Not standing on nicities - save for the appropriate bow, she wasn't a barbarian after all! - Yuiko ...

Three cheers for art!

I lack the facility with air magic to make such things happen.

Truly, truly!

Having just dropped off her belongings in her room, Yuiko wasted no time availing herself of the extended invitation. No polite, demure scratching at the door and a quietly voiced announcement of oneself here. Not among kinsmen, not among family. "Oi! Ino!" It wasn't the most familiar form of Inori'...

I'm too outrageous to kill, tho
