While the silver-white haired Agasha was frequently seen in the Dragon's Pan, it was almost a rare sight to see her in the yang-part of the Pan with all its busy market stalls and shops.

Some last needed supplies had been picked up for the trip, but she was also enjoying the last chance she would have in a good while to move about in such a lively marketplace.

Not enough money. Damn commerce... Kuuru was looking wistfully at a collection of firearms at one of the stalls.

The sight of the displayed firearms did catch her attention, and she was curious of they would even sell the powder needed for the weapon.

"Hm," she exhaled in a contemplative tone, taking note of the other samurai looking at them. "Don't see many of these in Crab lands?"

Kuuru glanced at the silver haired woman, smiling slightly as he did. "Ah, we see our share. I actually work with much larger weapons than these. Cannons. I still do not own one of these smaller ones myself though... I wish I did, I have many ideas concerning them..."

Yet another Crab fascinated with cannons? Sigh...

"Heh, you are the second Crab I have met who speak of cannons," she remarked with a small smirk. "Hm... it is a high-maintainance weapon compared to traditional ones, with much greater risk to the user. I don't own one myself, but my husband has done many studies on them when not caught up in his other works."

The woman gave a shallow bow. "Agasha Utsusemi, my husband is Agasha Ryuden-sama."

Kuuru bowed himself. "Kaiu Kuuru... My wife is Kaiu Masako." He added with a small chuckled. Afterwards he cocked an eyebrow. "Your husband has scientific inclinations? How interesting... Hmm. Yes firearms are quite risky. I am interested in making them less dangerous to the user, and more dangerous to the poor enemy... But firearms and weapons are not my main interest, which is a good thing to my wife's peace of mind." He chuckled again. "No my main inclination is what I like to call utilitary engineering."

"Ah, is that so? Well, it's kind of you to not worry your wife too much," she chuckled playfully. No, no, not a little jealous at all. Perish the thought. "Ryuden-sama specialises in metallurgy and large-scale manufacturing, but I know he has taught many different subjects at the Imperial Naval College. Are you perhaps one of his students?"

Kuuru raised his eyebrows further. "Oh well, I am afraid I did not attend the Imperial Naval College, instead I attended the House of the Waning Light. Metallurgy and large-scale manufacturing you say... Your husband sounds like a great man, I would quite like to speak with him some day. I have many ideas he would find interesting." He nodded excitedly.

"You do seem like you would have a lot in common," she chuckled warmly. "I'd be more than happy to introduce you to him at a later date... he is unfortunately unavailable at the moment, as he is at home with our children, working on some personal projects. I will not be returning home until we come back from Hantei-no-kimi's voyage. Are you perhaps a part of that group as well?"

Kuuru contineud nodding. "Why yes! I could not resist the opportunity to travel and learn... So much information and knowledge I can bring back to my clan..." Kuuru looked off into the distance before sighing heavily. "Although I cannot deny that it's quite hard being away from home for so long... Especially since my wife and I just had our first child last year. I wish this journey had come earlier... Or later. Would have made everything easier." He was silent for a moment.

"Oh, congratulations, Kaiu-san!" she smiled happily and bowed her head as she congratulated him. "Having two children myself, I fully understand what you mean... the youngest is only three. But I'm certain you can find something truly unique at our destination to bring back home to your child. But... it is always difficult to be parted from them, no matter how young or old they are."

Utsu sighed wistfully, thinking of her own children.

Kuuru sighed but he was smiling again. "I wish it would get easier. I'm sure it won't." He paused before continuing in a determined tone. "I am completely sure that I will find many things on this voyage, which I can use to help my children have a good life." He looked off into the distance again before continuing. "It's why I do what I do. To make everyone's lives better. The weapons I perfect are to wipe away the enemy to the south so that no child has to grow up fearing them, or losing a family member to them. The machines and disciplines I create will make sure no one ever runs hungry, or sick, or afaird again. In my dreams I see a perfect world, forged by technology and human ingenuity!" After his rant Kuuru froze for a moment, and then shrinked sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I sometimes get carried away. But... That is my dream. For my children to see that perfect world."

Utsu waved her hand a little, indicating that she took no offense to his passionate rant. "No, no, it's quite alright, Kaiu-san." Though she was less impressed with the whole 'enemy to the south-routine.

"We're all a little enthusiastic when it comes to our children's futures, neh? Heavens know I would not want my own children to see war or danger, so I completely understand your sentiment." But probably best to angle the conversation away from that particular worry. "Were you and your wife blessed with a son or a daughter, Kaiu-san?"

Kuuru perked up again. "Ah, a boy. My wife was overjoyed. We named him Haru."

There was a certain fondness in her smile as she listened to him. "Such good news. It is considered good fortune that your firstborn is a son, Kaiu-san. A year old... sounds like he's around the time when he's becoming more than a handful, walking and soon running. I remember my own son, Yoshi, around that age - made me wish he would return to being a little baby instead, seeing as he is so full of energy."

Laughing softly, she brushed a few fingers over her hair. "If my daughter was like him, well, then this would be my natural colour."

Kuuru chuckled. "Yes, he's an active boy. A handful is a good way to describe him... It was hard enough looking after him when it was both of us in the house, I can only guess how hard it is for my wife... But she's a capable woman, and she'll make me pay my debt for my absence I'm sure." Kuuru laughed again.

"As a wife should," she agreed with a laugh when he said his wife would make him pay. "Is this your first time in Dragon's Guard City then? You would probably be wise to bring her back something too from your trip, and this market seem to have many things that could make for a fine gift."

Kuuru appeared quite excited. He paused as he dug something from his backpack. What he retrieved was three pieces of parchment. He handed them to Utsusemi. On the three pieces of parchment were drawings, drawn in expert detail. One was of an old house in the rain, it seemed melancholic. Another one was of the sun above the ocean. And the last one seemed to be a case study of an exceptionally large and exotic looking fish. "I will be documenting my journey in these sorts of drawings, and once I get back I will gift the best ones to my wife. It is an useful gift as it will allow me to practice my skills as well."

The Lady of the Golden Moon's Words looked over the drawings with a gentle scrutinizing glance, appriciating the attention to detail. "That is very thoughtful of you, Kaiu-san. You seem very skilled with the medium... perhaps do some with colour, for the times when you encounter something that requires more? My brother-in-law is quite the expert on creating magnificent inks and paints, if you are interested?"

Kuuru looked puzzled for a moment before answering. "I've not much practice with inks or paints, as I mostly do my work with charcoal. But I suppose I should try to gain as many new skills as I can. So yes, I am interested." He smiled again.
