"I never said you would make it into the history books, though I do think that a shame. You may be humble and seek no glories, but you must understand how powerful a well spoken word can be. "

"May, I do, Matsu Mogami-sama," she replies.

"Truly, you do not need to call me Sama. I am only a bushi. I understand you wish to keep on using family names, but you do not need to address me as if I am of higher station, for I am not."

"May, as you wish Matsu Mogami-san," she bows her head. "I am yet a visitor, and a traveler of the road for most. Merely I aimed to give you a greater respect, perhaps, but one I felt was due. However, if it does discomfort you Matsu Mogami-san I will gladly alter it that I might offer a greater comfort."

"In private, I do not even ask my Budoka to call me such. I much prefer to interact with people on equal footing. It makes things....Hm. How to say..."

"It makes things more intimate, when you arn't constantly reminded about status and station. It allows you to get closer to people, and feel them more."

For a moment Mai wondered, tapped her cheek, and then finally, "Then I shall address you as you might like best, Mogami-san. If that is yet still to your wishes?"

Mogami gives Mai a large, welcoming smile.

"That sounds perfect, Mai-san. Well, shall we begin again today, or was there more you wished to discuss? I am enjoying our conversation, so I am in no hurry to rush your work."

"May, I would begin if there was nothing else you wished to speak of in particular Mogami-san," she said, inclining her head.

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Fri Apr 24, 2020 2:45 am

Mogami shakes her head no.

"I believe we have gone over what I wanted to speak on. Thank you."

She uncovers her back and gets comfortable.

"Then I shall begin, Mogami-san," she said, inking her needle and looking over what work she had already done. Seeking best where she might begin today's session.

Mogami’s back seems to have been well taken care of over the last day, and no signs of improper healing are there either. As Mai gets ready, Mogami let’s out a tiny yawn and closes her eyes, prepping herself to enter her trance.

Without need for further words Mai approached her art as she had many times prior. With an intense focus that overtook, body and mind. That most near anything couldn't disturb her from it prematurely as she began to work ink into skin.

It would be some great amount of time, and hour and then some, but eventually the art itself would be etched and even closer to completion than it had been prior.

As the pain sank into her back, Mogami closed her eyes and focused on the sensation. Soon, she was lost in a trance, the pain being nothing more than a numb tapping, guiding her through many visions and thoughts. When it was done, she slowly opened her eyes and said in an almost sleepy voice,

"Is that good for today, Togashi-san? How is the work coming?"

"We are yet nearing half way, Mogami-san," she says, wiping off the excess ink. Turning her attention then to the tools of her trade, sealing the ink pots.

"I am glad to hear. Is there anything I can assist you with? Are your supplies well stocked?"

Togashi Mai · **Joined:** Sun Apr 05, 2020 4:22 am **Posts:** 417

"Hai," she responded, "there is not I would need for a time yet. May, it is merely the safety you and your lot are like to provide that will benefit me most. For which I am ever grateful."

"You never need to thank us for doing our duty, Togashi-san. This is a Lion city, and you are guests here. You will always have our protection. No harm shall ever befall you as long as one Lion still draws breath here."

Togashi Mai · **Joined:** Sun Apr 05, 2020 4:22 am **Posts:** 417

"May, I would say and think the opposite. That it would then always be the duty of one served to show thanks to those who serve them. By protecting the many who do cannot stand against a foe you do a service to many and thought it may be your duty it is yet a service."

With a nod, "Nor will I ever doubt the length to which the Lion will go to uphold their honor."

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Sat Apr 25, 2020 8:53 am

Mogami is silent at the statement, pondering over the truth in her mind, unsure quite how to process it.

"You certainly share your families famed wisdom, Togashi-san."

Mai smiles, but catches herself and returns her propriety somewhat. Bowing her head, "Thank you Mogami-san. Though I yet feel as though I am barely yet learning it brings me joy to hear you say as you do."
