Dragons and Ponies and swords, OH MY!

[Togashi Dao]

"The Miya have a large quantity of swift messengers, that is true. The Togashi have a few individuals blessed by their mystical tattoos that can cover great distances in little time. But I will be grateful for whatever opportunities are afforded, be it one letter or twenty."

[Vutall]

"I would like to see that race. Miya, a Battle Maiden on her steed, and a Togashi with their tattoo. It would be quite the sight."

[Togashi Dao]

"If will could manifest so easily, I would make it so. Perhaps you and your steed might visit our lands, then not only might you see it, but participate?"

[Vutall]

"I have thought of making a trip.I have ridden along our northern border and observed the mountains of your land from a distance. They are majestic."

[Togashi Dao]

"I am sure that one with an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world would find much to like about my homeland. I would be honored to show it to you, should circumstances put us both there at the same time."

[Vutall]

"I may get cold though. I'm more used to the heat..."

[Togashi Dao]

"W...we are creative people Utaku-sensei, I'm sure we can c...c...come up with a s...solution." Dao had a habit of taking things at face value, and he might have interpreted her incorrectly, but a teenage boy will think what they will.

[Vutall]

"I wonder if our furs will be enough. In any case, I certainly look forward to it. Though, do you not reside at the High House of Light? How am I to find it?"

[Togashi Dao]

"Kyuden Tonbo sits at the foot of the mountains." Dao explains, feeling a little foolish.

"From there, a guide can be arranged, although it is said that those destined to find it, will. How brave an explorer are you Utaku-sensei?"

[Vutall]

"I am from the Clan of the Wind, Togashi-san. Exploration is out lifesblood."

[Togashi Dao]

"Perhaps one day soon you'll return the favour and help me explore your huge tracts of land. I hear the open plains are quite an experience with the four winds blowing through your hair."

[Vutall]

"It is quite breathtaking. A ride to remember."

[Togashi Dao]

"Then I hope to have an experienced guide to share my first such ride with." Dao replies as his bokken traces small circles in the dirt under his downward gaze.

[Vutall]

"I think that is enough for today, Togashi-san. It has been pleasant workign with you, and I hope to do so again."

[Togashi Dao]

"I hope so too Utaku-sensei." Dao offered Oichi a deep bow. "I thank you for your time today and will meditate upon the lessons I have learned."

[Vutall]

She returns the bow and smiles, but says nothing, watching him as he goes.

[Togashi Dao]

Dao returns the bokken before heading off to the games event.
