Ren's words slowly start to refill much of the enthusiasm lost within Horonigai. She listened, in the least. If the meaning would provide malleability for the young Miharu to fold as many times as necessary to become unbreakable, the future would tell.

Watchmen incapable of defeating the enemy, Horonigai marks down on her mind while unlocking her eyes onto each other.

"Thank you, Ren-chan. For thinking I can be better."

“What I think is irrelevant my dear... as is what you think. What matters is what we do.” She said with a reaffirming smile.

The smile follows suit, albeit temporary: as it will prove to be in the next hours of the day. "What would you do, if you were a Seppun?"

Honorigai curls her mouth a tiny bit. "I mean. If I am to be hammered heavily, should I be armor of blade?"

She smiled softly and shook her head, “A samurai’s blades are likened unto their soul, right? Fortify that... and you can do or be anything you need to be.”

Horonigai nods. "Fortify the blade of my predecessors."

Show I'm worthy of their respect. Defeat them without holding back. Is that what it takes? She ponders internally if that is proper, looking to the shrine.

"What Ren-chan knows about Matsu Hitomi?"

“Just the normal things my dear. Have you heard the tale yet?” She asked.

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"I..." She shrugs, "read it, actually." Horonigai offers her hand for Ren to take and mentions with a bob at her head, "Come, there's a plaque there."

Akodo Ren · **Joined:** Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:10 am **Posts:** 380

She followed and read for a moment with Horonigai before asking, “What strikes you most vividly about the tale?”

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"That a Mirumoto was able to issue an order to a Matsu in a Lion-Crab war." She shrugs. "It is... confusing. Aside from that, that she killed a man with her bare hands."

Akodo Ren · **Joined:** Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:10 am **Posts:** 380

“What is so striking about that?” She asked with a smirk.

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"Oh!" She grins, "Coz I..." A blink, and she comes closer to whisper. "You know, your cousin. I nearly choked him to death like that. Glad I'm not as strong as a Matsu."

She chuckled, “Perhaps you shouldn’t have stopped... depending on the impetus for the strangling.”

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"Perhaps I shouldn't..." Horonigai narrows her eyes at the though. "Ne, Ren-chan, also because, well, I sort of learned a tad more jujutsu after we sparred. We should to that again."

“I am always open to a challenge.” She smiled.

“Though I do feel guilty for repeatedly bruising your royal bum.”

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"Imperial." Horonigai corrects, adding, "Imperial bum."

And giggles.

“Semantics. You’d make a good monk one day.” She said with a warm smile in return.

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"Would you teach me how to monk?" She laughs with her eyes.

Akodo Ren · **Joined:** Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:10 am **Posts:** 380

“Can you reply to every person in the form of a question?” She asked.

Seppun Horonigai · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:03 pm **Posts:** 1054

"Matte yo! That's not 'monking'. That's just evasive, and..." she pouts a bit, when saying, "rude."

Horonigai opens a tiny smirk, adding a playful, "Is is not?"

Akodo Ren · **Joined:** Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:10 am **Posts:** 380

“Don’t you think the question was a bit late?” She replied with a matching smirk.
