The New Winds

He got slightly hurt by the sparring with Haruki, and didn't manage to get treated in time. Now was the hour. He searched for Asako Himeya. Perhaps she also treated peasants? His Ashigaru would need, for sure.

"Kaiu-san"

Came a rather curt call from Asako Himeya

He approached, holding his hand to his chest, feeling small.

"You were unkind today. Remember than all samurai serve not only those above us, but those below us as well. Your Compassion was not found today"

So someone saw that. He knew.
"I was, sensei, and it was not." He bows. "I should have stopped. I had no idea my unarmed blows were that strong."

"The Water kami were able to heal him, so there was no loss of life, so you do not have the death of an innocent on your soul. I take it you are here for me to treat you as well?"

((What is your current wound penalty))

(11 wounds - +3)

"Thanks for healing him, Asako-sensei. You may treat me if you think I deserve it." He replies, bowing again.

"A samurai should never withhold aiding another becase of their own personal feelings, Kaiu-san. Come, let me bandage you."

He let himself be bandaged, the first time he was healed without magical intervention. "Thank you, Asako-sensei."

She nods, but says nothing more.

Kenji had already heard a lot about Asako-Sensei. In fact, he hadn't even needed help from her until today, but today it was different.

When Kenji saw that Aiichiro was just being cared for by Her, he waited in a reasonable distance until the sensei would call him.

“You are not interrupting, Kakita-San. Are you in need of my aid as well?”

"Yes, indeed, Asako-sensei. I heard you are able to cast a spell that can give a samurai the rest of a full sleep. After yesterday's fight, I went to the bathhouse to make sure... ...I didn't have the blood of those creatures on my body. That led to the fact that I am fatigued, because the hour of the tiger received me earlier than usual. But I have to be at full strength for my duty as Bushi and student. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't ask you However, we did not have a normal day yesterday. I would therefore humbly ask you to give me this blessing."

Kenji bowed deeply before her.

"Oh, Kenji-san! I was wondering where you were!"

Kazuko runs up to Kenji and hugs him lightly, the soreness in her body disappearing momentarily.

"I haven't seen you spar yet, did you get injured somehow?"

Concerned, she looks over Kenji, trying to alleviate her worries that something bad happened. Maybe he fell or another goblin got loose...? Ah, she almost forgot why she came here in the first place

"Um, Asasko sensei, I was wondering if I could get patched up too please."

(wounds 11, +3)

Himeya looks to Kenji, her eyes full on contemplation.

"Kakita-san, the ability to request assistance of the Kami is not something one calls on lightly, and especially not when their own choices have brought their circumstances."

She looks to Kazuko and begins to bandage her.

"It is one thing to ask the water kami to heal someone of their injuries, but even then I only call on them when other means are not enough. You chose to either stay up later, or to not sleep in.."

((Kenji can try a Courtier/Awareness check to convince Himeya to cast Rejuvenating Vapors.

"I have never needed your blessing before, Asako-sensei. I am aware that the kami are not called lightly. But as I said before, we did not have any normal events last night. If I had been reckless, or had it been my own fault, I wouldn't be asking this favor of you, Asako-sensei."

He bowed to her again.

"You have a point. Very well then, I will ask the water kami to refresh you, but you must take more responsibility for your actions, Kakita-san. Your duty was being conducted last night, and there will be many more times in the future when you will not be able to rest because of that duty. You must be able to continue on your own despite the hardships you face."

Kenji no longer has fatigue.

"I understand Asako-sensei. Be sure I will in the future, and this will be a one-time exception." Kenji bowed a last time to allow Asako-Sensei to care for Kazuko.

Before he ran to the training ground, he stood close to her and gently touched her hand and gave her a warm smile "I just needed a refresher, don't worry" he whispered to her before running to the training ground to fulfill his duty.
