Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

"I would not wish to impose any further on Tsuruchi-sama," she offered.

"Thank you for your visit."

She was unsure of the meaning but nodded and said, "Then all is well."

"Good night, my dear friend," she said in reply.

"Be ready to be up early and ready to serve, otherwise you will mostly be asked to hold the standard and act with rightness," she offered.

"Follow my lead, and you won't be lost," she said in reply.

"You do what a samurai does, their Duty and if unclear just ask me," she responded warmly.

"Do you not see the grand Honor you have been given?" she said with confusion.

"What comes next is our service to the Throne," she said proudly.

"If you carry the standard, then I doubt this is goodbye," she responded.

"I have discovered things that have surprised me and brought value to my life," she responded.

"I trust you can say the same as well?"

"Not everything I left behind was of value to me," she responded coyly.

"Welcome to life at the Capitol," she mused.

"Yes we have spoken of her child on many occasions, as to the marriage proposal. That was a surprise, though the lineage of Otomo Saisei is not unknown to me," she said in reply.

"It could be a plot by my old Master, but if so I know not why outside of the reasons given."

"Bayushi Ijihime? She's... she is a mystery to me even when we worked together I could never get a handle on her. She has known Otomo Yusuke for a long time and we have a good working relationship but otherwise she is a Scorpion," she responded.

"I would not presume, but they are mostly letters to members of importance to my lady," she responded.

"I will remember that," she said seriously.

"I... remember preparing tea a few times in training but I have never done so on my own," she said laughing politely into her sleeve.

"You can burn water?" she asked quizzically.

"I would not know the first thing about cooking," she admitted.

"But that is kind of you and far too much trouble for this humble samurai."

"I prefer spice in my foods," she responded. "but my diet is easily adjusted based on the needs of her Highness."

"Mantis cooking at least on the ship was satisfying."

"I am thankful for your company," she said in reply.

She had to think back and then replied, “I recall she is not much a fan of sweets and prefers simple if a bit bland fare, though perhaps her time as a ronin has changed her diet. I know she is especially fond of fish in moderation. At least from what I recall.” “I know we once ate with Unicorn digni...

Ishi is silent listening to the confession unsure of what to say and finally uttered an “Eto… I had no idea of such a thing. I do not think our friendship could be risked without great effort.” She stopped and sheathed her sword before saying, “I admit that is not the words I expected, nor how to re...

She nodded and said, “That was a good name.”

“You seem nervous, I assure you I have no ill will towards your person Yoko-san. You have been a kind and good friend more so than this one deserves. To carry our lady’s standard means she too sees there is worth in you.”

She smiled and said, "We trained together under Ikeda-sensei, she was my senpai. She was a good and earnest student, and always made sure that those of her class act with correctness and Honor."
