"Hisomu Mai." A moment as Hikaru processed that, then he inclined his head. "My apologies, Hisomu-san." Another moment of consideration, his expression changing little; a shift of the eyes, a loosening or pressing together of the lips, but little more than that. "So it is to further your main area ...

"Hmmm." Hikaru murmured softly. "A garden is not just the flowers, but the dirt, and perhaps even the sweat of the gardener." He inclined his head. "I have heard of Ryoshun Mai. Her works are worthy of great honor. Has she trained you in her art, as well as medicine?" Fumi narrowed her eyes slightl...

"A worthy calling. I know that finger injuries, though ghastly looking, are rarely dangerous long term, if cared for slightly. The insides of the thighs, on the other hand, are an area I have seen what should have been a minor injury, a stone shard, hit and kill within seconds. Head wounds bleed la...

Fumi quietly hands over a koku. After receiving her change and items she nodded to the Dragon. "Are you trained in cooking Takurou-san? What types of food exist in Dragon lands?"

Fumi began to lead the way, walking among the various stalls to see what was on offer and hoping food was available.

"As I said, I only saw the one wedding as a child. Mai was born of the Bat and after training under her she seems to like things less... elaborate. Her carvings and weapons she crafts are quite beautiful but too much ceremony makes her nervous. Perhaps that was why. I have tended to stay among the s...

The crease on Hikaru's forehead deepened. "I am sure it is nothing." He said, jaw just the slightest bit tight. He took a deep breath. Then looked at Fumi, his expression thoughtful. "You study medicine. Would you tell me more about that?" "Yes, I am currently studying how certain wounds have been ...

"Not particularly well, I'm afraid. This is my first time outside of Spider lands. Though, I think the temple may be in that direction." She pointed a small distance away, roughly where she thought it may be. She paused, "it does smell nice. Perhaps there is a food vendor about? If so, would you be ...

Hikaru nodded evenly. "It is much the same as those found in Crane lands. Lady Doji's influence on courtly weddings can surely be felt, even in the Imperial Court." His smile managed to avoid being smug, if only just His chin tilted up proudly. "I have the honor of serving Lady Doji as one of her r...

"Ah, Dragon-san. This one is Hisomu Fumi of the Spider clan. You are no disturbance at all. Is there any way I may be of assistance." After the shopkeeper spoke, Fumi asked for her list of needs. "Would you happen to have a carving knife, a half dozen or so small wooden blocks, and roughly this much...

She pursed her lips and noted that fact, anyways. "I meant that there are places on the body that appear to bleed more or are more prone to permanent injury." She frowned, glad she ran into someone practical to share with not some prissy courtier. "I trained a bit with Mai-san. I am trying to bring ...

"Ah, that is specifically what I am studying, Kyosei-sama." She hoped she got that right. "Certain places seem to have bigger impact on the injured. I figure it might be better to be able to prioritize the severity of the wounded after a large battle." She figured that much was okay to share.

"Good afternoon, Imperial-sama." She appeared to struggle with recognizing the family mon. "This one is Hisomu Fumi of the Spider. I am just doing a bit of research on wounds. I am learning how certain injuries are best healed when no shugenja is present or if the kami are being fickle." She frowned...

With a graceful turn, Hikaru bowed. "Greetings to you, Hisomu-san." Hikaru said, his voice deep and soft. "And "And you, Hisomu-san? This is your first wedding, or so I gather?" "It is my first and is not. The only one I ever attended was that of Hisomu Kanna and the then Ryoshun Mai of the Bat. I ...

Fumi spent much of the morning looking through the various shops. She had forgotten to bring a carving knife with her. Furthermore, some little blocks of wood to make prototypes out of would be quite handy. Oh, and maybe a small length of twine!

Fumi copies all she finds to her notes, making a spare copy of the information about Lady Shinjo. Then comes the difficult part. Trying to figure out any deeper connections between the where on a person and the depth or type. She already knew in some places a shallow wound could be worse than a deep...

Can I buy a carving knife somewhere?

So instead, Hikaru stood by himself, not quite as he would stand while at attention, but nearly so, the only difference that his shoulders were more relaxed. Seeing one of the host clan looking a bit more relaxed than the others, Fumi quietly approached. "Crane-sama, is this your first time attendi...

Fumi searched through the library looking for scrolls relevant to her studies. There had to be something here. However, they wouldn't be easy to find. She wouldn't be able to ask just anyone. She picked out a few promising scrolls and books before heading to an unoccupied corner and sat reading with...

"As you like," she nods, finally having a servant refill her cups and taking a sip herself.

"We should mingle a bit. I will see you in our quarters later."
