"Unfortunately, I doubt anything more than what a mutual respect could afford. But I can definitely relay expectations and emphasize the importance of propriety of action in this troubled time. I can also volunteer my assistance to them for any investigative needs and ensure any such needs that would fall in the realm of serious crime are directed to you and lesser issues are documented and reported to your office to minimize lesser issues your magistrates and yoriki need to handle directly. Minor disagreements, missing items and the like should such occur. Im also prepared to stand in defense of the city agains the threat that took our emperor."

"My expectations are that the Minor Clans will ensure that the merchants under their purview shall not consider the grave situation as an opportunity for unsavoury commercial tactics. You can make them aware that any negligence in curbing those means inviting Lion wrath. If reporting any such transgressions in the city and the nearby port is something you are ready to accept to weigh on your honour, I might accept assistance of this kind."

He looks over, sees what is happening between the Piranha and the Matsu, and adds

It is perhaps in the small things that normalcy survives, and in which those who face such times as these can retain something of who and what they were before. And in the face of tumult, in the wake of vile deeds, still did someone bearing both a daisho and a larger blade, such as is ascribed to the serpent-folk, carry three others' daisho with him, wrapped reverently and presented to a Lion officer at the gate. He seemed to stand with her a time, and it can only be assumed that he offered his services in the interim, standing with his new hosts in what we all began to understand was a time of great need.

"I will be certain to let them know. I imagine that committing such an act in Lion lands would likely result in fines that would far outstrip the benefits of such actions, and potentially worse depending on the type of goods in question? And I would be glad to assist as a pair of eyes watch for unscrupulous practices."

"Chaos and dishonour must never reign." She said with quiet firmness, the called upon an approaching yoriki to pass the swords to her. "So yes, worse."

Kin nods in agreement, he suspected that the Lion would hold such views, but he did not wish to assume. Assumptions rarely did anyone any favors. "I will make sure that it is known. Heavy penalties for preying on the desperate are in order and I will do my part to see justice done for any such actions."

"The intensity of commerce-related crimes and misdemeanours is higher closer to the coast." She remarked, resuming her supervision over evacuating the refugees from the field.

"I have been in some unusual situations." she explained. "Sometimes it is best to adapt."

Koushi could acknowledge the wisdom in that. "How unusual?" he asked, his tone one of idle curiosity.

"Of course. I will leave you to your duties then," he replied. "I've distracted enough from the concern at hand."

He bows once more to the magistrate in a respectful manner.

"I once explored a nezumi warren inside of a giant tree in the Shinomen Mori." she answered. That might have been the least unusual experience during that campaign.

Koushi's eyes widened. "Nezumi? That is rather unusual. I suppose this was during the campaign there?"

"The conflict with the naga." she nodded. "Msny odd things happened in the forest."

"It was a worthwhile distraction, Ryuuta-san. Honour guide you." She then went after her duty.

"So in a mission to find snakes, you found rats" Homura commented idly in amusement as she looked back at Miwako and and Koushi "I'm surprised they remained for as long as they did. I have heard a little of that campaign but it sounded like one surreal adventure."

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"Snakes, rats, spirits." she nodded. "It was quite an experience. It led to my training with the Togashi."

Doji Koushi · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:22 am **Posts:** 314

Koushi nodded. "The Togashi. How interesting. Was their training as enlightening as the stories claim?"

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"Possibly? There is definitely wisdom in their ways, but I am not certain I grasped all of it." she admitted. "I left their mountains before the training was complete and have been unable to return."

Spirits?

The Ikoma looked curious.

"You know about spirits, Isawa-sama? I would be interested to learn more if possible."

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"Hai." she nodded to the Lion. "Or, at least, I have some knowledge of the Spirit Realms. Did you have a particular interest, Ikoma-sama?""

Ikoma Homura · **Posted:** Tue Apr 07, 2020 8:49 pm

Yeah, they tried to kill me.

"I feel that in these times it may be useful to have a little knowledge on the subject" Homura nodded "if it would not take up too much of Isawa-samas time."

"I am available whenever you wish." she offered.
