The New Winds

After taking a good bath, Kokyou takes a bowl of steamed vegetables with rice and sits on the exterior part of the deck with the pagoda over his head sheltering his head from the rain. At the eventual light of a crackling thunder, he takes a bite, and keeps his chanting.

"Thunder..."

He takes a bite.

"Thunder..."

He takes another bite

"Thunder..."

He sets the bowl to the ground, and lifts up.

"Thunder!"

Kokyou level his arms side-to-side.

"I was caught"
"In the middle o' a booty's map track"
"I looked round"
"'n I knew thar was no turnin' back"
"Me mind raced"
"'n I thought wha' could I do"
"'n I knew"
"Thar was no help, no help from ye"
"Sound o' the drums"
"Beatin' in me heart"
"The thunder o' guns"
"Tore me apart"
"Ye've been"
"Thunderstruck!"

The boy starts dancing back and forth with a held knee playing an invisible shamisen.

From behind the lad, his Scorpion friend once again. Kaidan wears a wide brimmed hat that covers him from the rain. "That is an odd song..."

"Just like yer face, ye port swillin' sneaky gaggin' arachnid!" He boasts, returning the comment to his song with a smiling compliment to his friend.

Kaidan chuckled. "So... How did it go?" The Bayushi wondered about what Kokyuo did with the ores from the previous night.

"Marvelously!" He nods. "A pair o' beauty beyond compare. Can be wee, but I tell ya, those handles we be surely tight 'n well-rounded t' the grip. I mean, I can nah wait t' put me hands on 'em. She said she needs t' polish 'em. That they we be too hot. I wanted t' get 'em out 'n show 'em t' Osano-wo fer his mighty blessings."

"It would be a show to see Osano Wo bless your new blades." Kaidan smiled politely. I don't know if I would like to be hit by the lightening to get a blessing. "That is nice. I am glad I could help."

"Aye. 'twould! How 'ave ye been doing, so far?" He asks.

"Ah... not much... just average things." He said nonchalantly. "Just trying to keep away from the frog infestation."

'Frogs? Lucky sign. They bring good booty in things returnin'. I 'ave heard scallywags eat 'em around here. They say 'tis good fer thar health 'n skin" He mentions, shrugging.

"Riiiiiiiight.... not so lucky if you step on one and fall." Kaidan shook his head. "I doubt you would like a frog infestation inside a boat... rats on the other hand are messengers of Daikoku."
