Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

Naida nodded and melted into the stromg Hida, letting everything go to focus on the thrill of that promise.

"As a duelist, I live for that thrill, in a way. Not roughness per say, and it's not the same as many Crab, of course. But the thrill of laying it all on the line, no in between being a hero and utter failure." A smirk and Naida sat up, scooting a bit until she sat on the table in front of Daichi on...

"True... she might be an exception though, with those dancer's legs of hers..." Naida's smile stayed, "But here I am, gossiping about her when I'm here for you. Truth told if I hadn't been so busy that day I would have drug you back out of the baths with me to the inn; You are quite the looker, and ...

"Mmmm... the kind of heavy weapon you showed Yuuwaku-sama? We may have been gossiping a bit, but she seemed quite impressed with your techniques." Naida crawled around the table as she talked, sitting back on her feet as she got close, "Color me kind of jealous she got to you first, Daichi-sama. I s...

"Hm... Well, I was thinking of perhaps getting some heavy weapons training in, if you had one handy. You could show me how you handle it, then I could have a go." Naida set the empty cup down before leaning forward on the low table, giving quite the eyeful of some rather large cleavage, "Though I am...

"That's all I could have asked for, so you're most welcome." Naida beamed a smile as she sat back and picked back up her teacup, finishing off what was in there in a few sips. "And you said you can accommodate me you say? That's certainly a gift for me in turn then." She smiled over her cup at him.

"Oh, it's nothing that needs reciprocation, I assure you. Consider it something to pass the time." Inside the box was a booklet of sorts, a series of alternating pages attached together and bound to lacquered sheets on the ends. https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/fS8AAOSwJJFfePmZ/s-l300.jpg The c...

"Did I not? I had promised to come see how a Hida warrior handles a tetsubo, something that I was delayed in doing thanks to certain spiritual happens, of course. But now that things have calmed down and the wedding is over, I thought I would be remiss if I did not keep that promise, for my own sake...

"Hm... I suppose so, having been to both. Though I'm not sure the parties those on the ship were throwing were necessarily representative of Mantis parties as a whole. Still, it did have the same sort of atmosphere. For now though... just a party of two." She poured the Hida some more tea as she pou...

Naida genuinely enjoys her time walking, both that day and the days to come. She already enjoys traveling, but it seems good company is truly the spice that makes everything better.

/fade to traveling?

"Exactly! Now, as I was saying about my pet bird before that cart passed us... oh, I never did tell you his name; It was Tenten. So yah, so Tenten didn't mind the cold at all either, which meant he and I..." Naida walked along talking about her adventures across the Empire, mixing with the sound of ...

Naida beams a smile as she stands Yuuwaku back up on her feet, "You really are the best, Yuuwaku-san. Apologies for being swept up like that; The way you look at me is just so intoxicating though. For now... the weather is nice, so I'll focus on that until we get to the next town so I'm not too drun...

Naida turns her head and places a kiss on Yuu's nose in return, "Well, we have a few more days traveling together in Crane lands before we should head our separate ways; Togashi Minaru-sama will be arriving by boat in four days with his bonsai... so I will have to make the most of my time." Seeing t...

Naida looks down at Yuu's grin and smiled softly, "You have a lot of your plate, and you're a wonderful vassal to your lord. I can't blame you for getting wrapped up in things in the slightest. That said, it seems I have some work to do in making sure you're more aware of how utterly I adore you, be...

Naida scratched her cheek self consciously, "N-No? Well, that's how it is. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I would be your yojimbo if the Crane would allow such a thing. My little dancing crane is so precious and beautiful and talented, I want to show her off to the world. And she has such a prett...

Naida realized what she was doing and relaxed lightly, with a small sigh. "I... No, everything is fine. I suppose I just worry that I won't be there next time you need me. I don't want anything or anyone to ever hurt you. You... are far too precious to me."

"Well that depends I suppose; Would you rather have a safe but uneventful situation, or an exciting but dangerous one?" Even asking that made her protective instincts towards the Crane woman fire up a bit, and she found her palm resting on the hilt of her peace-knotted katana at her hip as she walked.

"Hm. Well, the exhibitions are up for a week, and will be there a bit early. So maybe two weeks? Another stop kind of like here. ...well, here if the says had planned on repeating the whole time. I imagine I'll have pretty free reign to head out exploring; I hear there are some nice mountains nearby...

"Well... I suppose that's all the more reason for me to write you letters; I can keep you up to date on my travels. Maybe I should learn to draw so I can send that too."

"Jukami Mura. Some port city. I'm to meet up with a Togashi bonsai artist and escort him and his trees to Wall Above the Ocean Village for some sort of exhibition." The hat went back atop her head. "Apparently it's some village known for it's artists and views, and they're having some sort of plant ...

"Just so long as I never need to ride on an ox again. And hey; Maybe I could find excuses to find myself in ports more often if I'm working with traders. You know how I like my seamen." She suddenly thought about jumping off the boat in shame but settled for pulling her hat slowly over her face. ".....

Why are there not more votes for letting the Phoenix burn?!

The Phoenix are a cool clan.

The Phoenix wouldn't be so cool if they were on fire, I agree. They might be hot even.

Naida sat across from Daichi; She wore a green and white set of traveling clothes, robe like with a leg slit up one side for easier movement. She'd either not worn one of her hats, or left one with her swords at the gate. "And here I thought Hida were immune to such things as hangovers and such. I'l...

"Exciting, hm? I suppose so, in some ways. Not in others; Most of being a wandering yojimbo involves lonely days walking the roads between events, followed by sitting and watching courts and art exhibitions and negotiations play out. There are sights to see and people to meet and conflicts to step i...

"Hm. I do envy you that, certainly. The Dragon are likely to need ship captains about the time we start needing to import stones." She put away her machi kanshisha thoughtfully, "Although... Hm. No. Well... Hm. They say caravans are ships of the land, in some places. I could see if my lord needs a d...
