((If your character underwent Gempuku in their own lands, they have access to all of their equipment, it has just been stored in their room as they normally are not allowed to carry it outside their clan lands since in the eyes of the Empire, they are not yet Adults.))
Outside of Bayushi Kaideas room, a cat scratches at his door and meows constantly and loudly.
