"Ah."
Sasaiko takes more tea.
"And for what future does Yogo-san prepare?"

Otoko gave a small shrug. "Preparation for every eventuality is paramount. Expect the worst while striving for the best."

"Of course. Yet everyone who only prepares for the likely will be lost when the unlikely finally happens." Siiiiip.

Sasaiko finishes her cup and begins to wipe it out.

Another small shrug. "If it were not a balancing act, life would be much more simple. Some likely things take more planning, some less, just as some unlikely things require more attention for their potential effects."

Re: Trying Tea Again (Open)
She looked thoughtful a moment as she finished her own tea, setting the cup back down. "...Nnn... for instance, it is likely that Lady Sun will rise again in the morning, but one does not need to plan around it. On the other hand, if gaijin were to attack Rokugan, there is something we could all do, even if it is unlikely. To plan for the former is pointless, to plan for the later could save the Emperor."

Re: Trying Tea Again (Open)
"Nothing is certain. How certain was it for the Kami to fall? The Heavens are stable, but beyond our control. What will happen, will happen." Pessimism was ever the Yogo way.

"One might well argue that fate ever goes as it must. But that would mean it was certain the Kami would fall, too."

"If everything is purely fate, then there is no preparation that could truly change anything. It is better to go through life believing we can make a change, that our actions have meaning outside fate. Or at least, that is what I believe."

Sasaiko nods.
"And what change would you make, were it up to you?"

"...Thank the Fortune's that it is not," she commented softly. There was just a small touch of actual emotion in her tone. Was it... bitter? "I would rather help others make the changes they see than be in such a position. It is not fitting for a Yogo... it is not right."

"Hm."
There's quite a nerve to touch, she thinks. But she wipes down more of the accoutrements.

Otoko was silent a moment longer before she gave a seated bow. "...I think that tea was quite lovely. I know the past has brought disappointment, but I know that you will find your pace Toritaka-san, and that you will do sensei proud if you but keep at it."

She nodded as she stood. "I will look forward to it."
With that, she took her leave.
