Another Dragon was present. He wore a simple Kimono and looked a bit nervous. He tried to keep near the only person in the room he knew he could trust.

"Pleasing enough." Hikaru said politely. Actually, it had been very troubling, but one hardly brought that up in court. "And yours?"Ryoshun Rei wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:46 am"Good morning, Doji-san." she returned the bow. "I hope your day has been pleasing so far. I am indeed Ryoshun Rei."
The Lioness had no such luck, as Genji arrived, whose player did not totally miss the court thread over the last 48 hours.Makime Ayano wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:19 amAyano was present for court in her silken attire. But for now seemed content to not approach anyone directly.
"It has been nice so far." she nodded. "We are grateful to have a man of Kakita-san's character and skill among us. I am pleased that he has reconnected with old acquainteces."Doji Hikaru wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:35 am[
"Pleasing enough." Hikaru said politely. Actually, it had been very troubling, but one hardly brought that up in court. "And yours?"
After waiting for a reply, he went on. "Kakita-san spoke well of you, both you in particular and the Bat more generally. I am pleased he has found a home that suits him."
"Yes. He is a good man. And very driven." Hikaru took a deep breath. "We had thought he was dead. It was a surprise to see him again."Ryoshun Rei wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:12 pm"It has been nice so far." she nodded. "We are grateful to have a man of Kakita-san's character and skill among us.

Hsieh-Hsieh matched glares with the veteran of the South before thumping his tail.
"Yuzuru-sama, I will do my best to be brief. Earlier this morning, a small party went out to investigate the disappearance of some of the Emperor's subjects. We unfortuntately must report that those who went missing have run afoul of a rather large bear."Yuzuru wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:26 pmHsieh-Hsieh matched glares with the veteran of the South before thumping his tail.
"Grr, grrrrrr yip, YIP."
The fox then grinned as Yuzuru shook his head slightly.
"Old friend you need to moderate your language in Court. Sora-san, it is good to hear from our most loyal followers. What do you have for me today?"
Sasori the curious cat, she is looked at this one eyed man, that seemed somewhat lost, she approached the young Stag. "Good afternoon Stag sama I hope Inari had blessed you today."Otomo Gusai wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:26 amGusai, dressed well and his player returned from vacation, bows into the room. His one eye scans about, looking for someone to approach.
Time to scan the horizon for the new weather, he thinks.
(Wanna talk to the Pirate Stag? PM, please, so I don't lose it; I'm still catching up!)
"Shiray... Ah yes, you mean mother, Saruko!" Satsuki said with a big smile. A friend of mother was certainly to be trusted. "Yes, I'm the daughter of Lord Togashi of the Dragon Clan, and Lady Togashi Saruko of the Saru."Nozomi wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 1:12 amShe smiled as she settled down into a seat. "You are Shirayuki's child, are you not? Yes, I am certain we've seen each other, though I fear I was always busy in your family's lands whenever I was there." And Shirayuki had been careful about making sure that people weren't too close to Mayumi so as to increase questions. "I am Nozomi, of the Order of Heroes, and this is my daughter Mayumi. It's good to be formally introduced."
Mayumi chuckled a little and looked up at her mother. "We usually don't come to court, Togashi-sama. Only if we have something to report," or they were trapped here because of a snow embankment. Nozomi nodded in turn to her daughter.
"She is right. We are usually busy traveling or working from one of the few monasteries. When we are here... I suppose I talk with those who seek me out until I am called upon for some reason."
Spotting the familiar sight of Takurou, Satsuki waved him closer to introduce him. "This is Saru Takurou, also from Great Falls and a student of mother. He makes the best food!"Saru Takurou wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:16 amAnother Dragon was present. He wore a simple Kimono and looked a bit nervous.

"His has been an interesting life. Life with us will, hopefully, be a bit simpler." She paused to gather her thoughts. "By in large I think that describes the Bat, in comparison with other clans, simpler. Our numbers and the land we've been given to govern are smaller, focused around Ryoshun Seido. Most of our people are craftsmen, carrying on the legacy of my father. Some, like myself, tend to the restless spirits wandering our world or, like my sister Agasha, study the world and the elements that it is composed of. Our remoteness has allowed us a fair measure of peace, allowing us to indulge in these pursuits, but we are grateful to have men like Kakita to defend us when there is need.""Doji Hikaru wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:22 pm"Yes. He is a good man. And very driven." Hikaru took a deep breath. "We had thought he was dead. It was a surprise to see him again."
He cleared his throat. "Would you tell me about life in Bat lands? I have travelled to many parts of Rokugan, but never there."
Hikaru gently shook his head. "We may hope. But we live in interesting times, and a man like Kakita will always find a way to be a part of that."Ryoshun Rei wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 2:36 pm"His has been an interesting life.

"And, have not found there way beyond the realm of the living, for one reason or another." she nodded. "We try to guide them to Meido, where my father can guide them to their proper fate."Doji Hikaru wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:08 pmHikaru gently shook his head. "We may hope.

He studied her for a moment, expression polite, pale eyes a little strange. "You tend to spirits? You mean, of those who were once living?"
"I see." Hikaru bowed respectfully.Ryoshun Rei wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:28 pm"And, have not found there way beyond the realm of the living, for one reason or another." she nodded. "We try to guide them to Meido, where my father can guide them to their proper fate."
Gusai's single eye swivels towards the red-haired lithe woman and he smiles broadly, bowing.Bayushi Sasori wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 1:04 pmSasori the curious cat, she is looked at this one eyed man, that seemed somewhat lost, she approached the young Stag.

While she waited for the Togashi to introduce her to the Saru, Nozomi noticed Sora's approach. "I may be required to corraborate testimony in a moment, Togashi-sama. A fair warning," she said, nodding in Sora's direction. She listened and whispered to a servant to make sure that they sent word that if Yuzuru required additional testimony, she was here and available to provide it to the Consort on the matter.
She realized she was being a little too informal there, but she was glad the young woman was understanding. So many titles, so much formality. It just wasn't her way. "Your mother is a good woman, and I hope that she's been doing well. The Order and I owe her our eternal gratitude." For so many things in life. "And you've met Kuu have you? A good monk. He has a gift for many things that are not mine, for which I am also quite grateful."Togashi Satsuki wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 2:26 pm"Shiray... Ah yes, you mean mother, Saruko!" Satsuki said with a big smile. A friend of mother was certainly to be trusted. "Yes, I'm the daughter of Lord Togashi of the Dragon Clan, and Lady Togashi Saruko of the Saru."
She had forgotten that part earlier in her introduction. "It's good see others of the Order here. I've meet Kuu already the other day."
She would bow to Takurou if he approached. "I am Nozomi of the Order of Heroes, and this is my daughter, Mayumi. A pleasure to see one of the Saru present in court."Togashi Satsuki wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 2:26 pmSpotting the familiar sight of Takurou, Satsuki waved him closer to introduce him.

Ayano spied the approaching Stag. He was hard to miss even if her green eyes weren't alert.Hantei Genji wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:51 amThe Lioness had no such luck, as Genji arrived, whose player did not totally miss the court thread over the last 48 hours.
"Makime-san, greetings." he bowed to her appropriately. "How have you been since we last spoke?"
