*sets up volunteer service for helping old folks crossing streets during the wedding*

[Makime Ayano]

Honored elder is surprisingly nimble for her age.

Also *puts a fire hazard sign on the Togashi*

And of course I wish Hida-san luck in her journey to a happy family.

[Doji Dojihime]

Obasan is a wonderful person.

[Hisomu Ayeka]

I will of course show proper obeisance to our elders and assist them across the street

[Hantei Kinsen]

Obasan is a wonderful person.

Such is the education of the Doji: an example to all.

So proud of this nephew.

*squints eyes at Ayeka, Ayano and Ume*

Obasan's eyes are clearly failing. Calling her niece a nephew.

*shakes head and gently pats Dojihime for being called a boy*

[Hantei Kinsen]

*winces at forgetting current Rokugani*

*old age hitting memory*

You all know I was a Noriaki, right. The accent might tell.

I am very respectful to my elders.

I hope to be as radiant as you in my old age, Honored Elder.

*proper bow*

[Hantei Kinsen]

Well. Thank you Makime-chan. I am not even in the old age and radiant. You might be so in a couple of years. I am sure.

Marriage would do you wonders.

[Jiyo Ayumu]

I'm kind of surprised the tailor-made kimono Ayumu weaved for Kinsen with what we had at hand at the time (lit. on the trip to the Shadowlands, by recycling other clothes) is still in one piece after fifteen years.

If anything, it proves Kinsen has kept her good physcis in her old age.

Or that the fabric has loosened up.

Maybe she put it aside after the Shadowlands to save it for special occassions?


... This reminds me I need to get back to drawing ideas for Dragon fashion.

Easy.

Take out all clothes and tattoo your body...

done.

[Hantei Kinsen]

*poses her very healthy and ever alluring shape*

Jiyo-san is indeed a master artisan. The clothes he worked have been truly an inspiration I followed fit. The same form after all these years.

[Makime Ayano]

Dragon fashion:

[Ryoshun Ume]

I can only imagine fashion taking a somewhat similar path. I doubt Shiba would be any less inclined to look to Doji than Hantei did. I wonder about the Crab keeping their penchant for heavy armor though, what with facing more men rather than oni.

[Doji Dojihime]

I mean heavy armor works against everyone.

Still better to have more protection and not be killed, than less protection and armor and getting killed. My take

[Makime Ayano]

Depends on the ground and nature of the warrior.

Heavy armor on a line samurai fighting on open fields? Great

Heavy armor on a samurai who has to climb a mountain routinely? Maybe not so great.

[Ryoshun Ume]

That's my thought on it too. Lots of mountains in the north, and few open fields. Still, the idea of no penalty for climbing in heavy armor...

Sounds like the start of an elite Hida school to me!
