"I'm still struggling with etiquette, but so far I've come across some interesting things." He shrugged. "I'm trying to take in as many recipes and stories as I can!"

Takurou absolutely loves hearing stories. He loves to listen to people and find out what everyone wants to tell with their story and what feelings they convey with it. That's why it was no wonder he was here. In his simple kimono he sat with a hot cup of tea and listened to the people who were there...

Asking if anything occured in his dreams tonight:

Another night of nightmares passed. Takurou wandered through the freezing garden and chose one of the small tea alcoves and sat down inside. He began to empty his mind and reflect on the previous night. Perhaps there was something he had overlooked. --- [D2, LM] Meditation/Void TN20 : 5d10o10k4 30 R...

"So full of energy!" said Takurou, clapping his hands. "I pray that our harvests will be bountiful enough to give you a long life, little goat."

"Oh i hope you may find it! I'll hope to acquire more storys and recipes to share with our people back in Great Falls!"

"Good Morning!" he said, reflecting the same warm smile. "My night has been the same as every night" he replied. Some, maybe most of the Saru Family knew about his condition. Since the day he was accepted as an orphan in Great Falls, Takurou had been haunted by prophetic nightmares. Not all dreams c...

Although he didn't quite know what this "ball" was supposed to be, he was told by the servants to dress smartly. Something that Takurou also did not particularly understand. However, he had already seen some beautifully dressed people at court and took them as an example. He supported his evening dr...

"Maybe? I could guess that some would be willing to get some, just to see a fish from the grand sea,...."

"I will try to conjure up something very special for you, say, would you have time for me the day after tomorrow?"

"Me offended?" Takurou was confused. "Why should i?"
He wasn't really listening and relaxeduntil his name was dropped.

In the dining hall sat Takurou. In front of him was a selection of dishes that he had carefully prepared . Although he tried hard, the result today was not satisfactory for him. However, it was no use crying over spilled milk and he simply accepted that today there was only average food. Instead, he...

"That sounds wonderful and beautiful. I can almost see it in my imagination,...." Takurou's gaze wandered a little again. "I thank you for this story, and if I ever get to see the sea myself, it will remind me of you." A warm smile formed on his lips. "Tell me, how would you like it if I invited you...

"I also came here for the wedding,....," Takurou began, but quickly lost his train of thought. "This town's pretty damn big, isn't it?" he muttered...

"One could say so" he said sheepishly. "The food of Great Falls is mainly vegetables, buckwheat and fruits. Now that it is winter, a lot of pickled food is eaten. Meat is not scarce, but it is usually easier to cook without. Many, many things can be conjured up from it all." he replied and paused fo...

Takurou smiled at Yatsufusa and was about to say something back when the springs were suddenly stormed by several unknown people. Inwardly, Takurou rowed back and thought about the lessons in etiquette to restore his dropped defenses. "Um,... yes,... uh, nice to meet you, Samurai-sama" he said from ...

Takurou tilted his head and spoke, "A story is a story, regardless of the age of the teller. The value of a story lies in what you want to tell with it."

He smiled, "If you could tell about the sea, that would be nice."

"Hmmmmmmmm" he thought out loud. "Seafood is a rare commodity in Great Falls,.......... maybe i'll get a chance to try something new here,......" His gaze wandered aimlessly for a moment. In his mind he was picturing what dishes he could create. "But tell me... you say you've traveled a lot? Do you ...

"Oh, very much! I'm interested in the cusine of the city. Maybe copying a recipe or two!" he said smiling. He lloked around, trying to catch the smell he smelled earlier. "Shall we follow our nose?"

"Yes!" he beamed up. "I am supposed to look after the well-being of the entourage, at least I think so, what exactly I am supposed to do no one has told me,.... but I can cook!" it began to bubble out of him. "Oh, that reminds me, do you have a favorite dish Makime-sama?"
