[LN Day 3] So, What Just Happened?

[Sutorenja]

'"That is the silliest story I have ever heard," she said laughing lightly.

"But I too shall flap with you Ikoma-sama."

[Ikoma Ren]

"Oh, it gets sillier" Ren chuckles. "The Hunter is a Scorpion and dresses up as a quail, and leans to make quail sounds and imitates each of the other quails to insult them and make them bicker until they're too tired to fly. And then he eats them all. It's...a less satisfying end. I like my stopping point better, and it took that troubled expression off your face, so I would say it did its job"

[Sutorenja]

"Not all Scorpions are villains," she chided with a smile.

[Ikoma Ren]

"And the Lion aren't always the heroes" There is a touch of sadness and regret in the words and Ren's gaze goes far afield "Those were all the stories I heard as a child, the myths that your teachers tell to make sense of the world. It's not until you get older that you learn the parts they leave out"

[Sutorenja]

She nodded and said, "The world is more complex than what see and what we learn. That is part of the journey."

[Ikoma Ren]

"Yes." Ren nods. "That is one of the benefits to my travels. I may love my Clan, and my homeland, but there's a lot to see. Strange dancing rituals to fundoshi included" He snickers. unable to help himself

[Sutorenja]

She nodded and then said, "Well I am going to sleep, tomorrow is another day."

[Ikoma Ren]

"That's a good idea. I'll head to bed as well"
