The New Winds

"If I become aware that anyone within my clan, former or not, is interfering in the marriage negotiations of my house and Toritaka-san's so near to our wedding? There will be words said." And quite possibly more. "I have spoken with him once already, and should I learn more I will inform him, yes." ...

"Mmmm? Oh yes. That." He shrugged, a little dismissively. He had struggled to understand they had been competing with one another the whole time. "The lessons there have given me a certain ... familiarity with the ways of court. I'm still not great at navigating it myself, but I at least understand ...

Haha, oh Xellos. I love him so.

"It is good to be seen by you," he said, bowing right back. "Issues, you say? I'm almost afraid to ask. I wanted to thank you for your thoughts yesterday. I wish that they had not proven quite so ... pertinent as they did, but such is the way of things. Are you well?" He had not bothered to select a...

Saburo glanced towards the Yasuki and his lips thinned. "In future, it is best to be circumspect. I assumed you were speaking of this, yes." He grunted. He glanced around and pulled out his own fan to lower his voice as he spoke, grunting. "My fiance has no reason to share a fan with Kaiu-san, nor d...

Saburo’s face.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeaaaaaaaaah, can't really argue with you there.

So, apologies that Saburo didn't quite have as much time for interactions with Mirai as he did with Otoko, but I enjoyed both characters. Are you thinking of bringing Mirai back next go around?

Also - who is it that she needs to not forget, out of curiosity

*stretches* So, my plan is to reprise Saburo again next game, but while that might entail oh so many secrets? He really only has one of note, and it has yet to come up hilariously enough. So, feel free to ask away. And no, not telling the secret. That can be found out ICly. He doesn't officially kno...

His eyebrow, the good one, raised. He was paying attention to the duel but he was considering his words carefully. "That would depend upon the gift, its actual source, and the person sent to. There are several possible answers to your question. If an unmarked gift were sent in a public venue where a...

"Who? Him? No, I am not supporting that person in this duel," he said icily. "If you need to know the reasons why, the spectators can fill you in. I'm told that the proctors had a word with him when he almost killed me." "Matsu-san is a very skilled man. You did well to get that far. And you may ask...

He managed to look a little surprised before offering a very faint chuckle. It was a shadow of a thing, but it was there. "I appreciate having you here, Toritaka-san," he said quietly, sighing some. "Be... careful with him. He is a skilled duelist. His defeat of me was by a hair's breadth, ignoring ...

"I believe you're right," he said as the door opened and the food was being brought in. "I do not think that we have seen the last of many of our fellows here. If for no other reason than Agasha-sama may have her own plans and intention for us. I believe she has developed a certain desire to see us ...

"Yasuki-san," Saburo said, his demeanor easing almost immediately at this point, though the vicious and angry red scarring across half his face was a sight to see. He turned and bowed to him. "I hope the Iaijutsu duels have proceeded smoothly. How did you fare?" His voice was strained. He didn't loo...

Saburo, having had a little time to try and relax, to rest and to let the wounds at least set, made his way to the room that Mai was staying at, gently rapping at her door. "It is Asako Saburo, Mai," he said outside. "I wanted to see you off before you departed. I will be remaining in town for a tim...

Saburo watched the final match, between Sasaiko and Tanshin. The conversation was not impossible to hear under the circumtances. It was hardly whispered. His lips pulled in the rictus of a snarl at the child before him treating the fact that he had come a hair's breadth from killing his own clan mem...

He recorded the information, writing every last word that the man detailed down and pocketed it before scowling. He didn't Rememer this person, but that only increased the likelihood that this was a Scorpion. He seriously considered discussing this with Jiro, but it was better never to be open about...

"Be aware. Neither of the individuals you offered the fans to, supposedly on the behalf of each other," he said, knowing from Aiichiro what the message had been. "Has the means to hurl that kind of resource around. You have participated in throwing question on the marriage negotiations of two noble ...

"You were commissioned to present two fans to Kaiu Aiichiro and Toritaka Sasaiko," Saburo said after returning the bow curtly, his gaze meeting the man levelly and very bluntly. There was a hard look in his eyes, though he kept his tone even. "At the festivities last evening, before Kakita Toshimoko...

Last NPC request - as discussed. Apologies for lateness. Verified status of his health on d7 to allow thread only today.

Asking for the Merchant who brought the fans to Sasaiko and Aiichiro since he's well known.

Saburo was finally cleared by the healers. His face was heavily scarred, but he was an adult now, a full samurai and wore openly the symbol of status of is clan, the inquisitor's strike he had been given by Asako Himeya along with the mons of the Phoenix reflecting his status. The scar pulled at his...
