D1LE: Stone-solid Regard (Closed)

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"For myself--not this year," Tomodachi says. "At least, not in the tournament. For the tournament would be better to say; the Mantis should host it when it happens again."

[Otomo Yua]

"Should they?"

Yua picked up her cup, looking thoughtful.

"And why do you say that Yoritomo-san? One would not consider the Mantis usually when looking to an event host for a event such as this. Not to say I disapprove of the notion, just stating the norm."

[Yoritomo Tomodachi]

"In part, precisely because it is a new event," Tomodachi replies. "We are in a new time, with new challenges. A warrior who faces a new technique adapts their own to address it; so should it be for us all."
