Yajinden nodded. There was indeed little else that could be said.

"Orders will reach you tomorrow morning. The Explorers shall undertake an expedition north in force the day after tomorrow, against the enemies of the Empire that disclosed themselves last night. Hantei-no-kimi has transferred the command of the Imperial Marines to Captain Kitsu Keiji, who has recently equipped Kunshu Maru with cannons."

"It is but a misunderstanding; I thought it was the expectation for the event. I am still... learning the way of the land, figuratively as well as literally."


"Ah, I understand. There really is quite a unique combination of circumstances on this island, even if one is used to dealing with a mix of cultures. I've never been to an event quite like this, certainly."

Yasuhiro nodded. "I will await them then, Asahina-sama." Was the easy reply, there was very little else he could do after all. The Lion would then wait until he was dismissed before bowing again and departing,there was still a short amount of time before he intended to leave, and as the Crane had said, there were likely a few people he should confront.

She audibly sighed at the sight of her betrothed when he entered the ball.

"Wataru-kun," she said under her breath, and looked to Kenzo, who had stood by her and made small talk with her to keep her mind busy. She very much appreciated his company.

She downed the last of her second glass of wine. "There he is," she motioned to Wata with her fan gently so Kenzo could spot him, but before she moved she saw the approach of Bellena-sama and her liege toward her betrothed. Curious.

Edogawa moved about again, casually watching the various conversations from afar. He could only imagine some of the topics being discussed.

The duo walked over to where the man was standing after he arrived. Bellena nodded graciously, "Gusai Wataru-san is it not?"


Wataru was unexpectedly greeted by a pair of samurai of the Tortoise. Could it be that they were interested in him because of Ran-chan? he wondered while holding his facade perfectly.

As the pair reached him, the samurai bowed gracefully, in the way of the gaijin, placing one hand parallel to his waist, and the other at his back. "I am honored, Muhaki-sama."

"Carry the Fortunes, Matsu-san. Thank you for the conversation." Yajinden politely bowed back.

Before they could go up to him, he was approached by the Muhaki pair. "Oh." Kenzo said. "Ah... shall we approach them now?" He looked at Ran, his eyebrows going up. "Actually, did you have any news for Muhaki-dono?" He'd been there when the offer had been made, after all.

Ringo tries to slip into the party quietly. He wears a 1/2 mask on his face.

Image

He is success with slipping into the party. He is not successful with the quietly part as he accident bumps into a table and knocks over some of the glasses and bottles. He bows deeply in apology quickly and then non-chalantly walks away and lets the servants clean that up. Nothing to see here.


/ Never a 2nd Chance to Make a 1st Impression
Aw/Etiquette. 2 CR vs tn 20 = 19. Fails.

Dismissed Yasuhiro walked away, though he didn't depart the Ball quite yet, instead making his way towards the young woman he has talked with the day before. Seppun Hinami was dressed well, and in a manner he felt acceptable, well expect for the garish mask. Though he'd still have prefer if there was less gaijin influence.

The Lion wasn't sure of what he planned to say, but he'd at least promised his opinion. "Seppun-sama." He greeted her with a bow. "I hope you are enjoying the festivities."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Muhaki Berena, and this is Muhaki Saionji, Lord of the Tortoise clan. We understand that you are betrothed to marry Muhaki Ran-san, is that right?"

Hinami bowed to the Lion once again. '' Matsu-san. It's a honor to meet you here.'' She looked around. '' Well, there are appropiate, I guess? Not like our own festivities but until now I have not seen something that shocked me. Except the lack of humility and decorum of some...'' She refered to Zabieru in particular.

'' And you? I saw you talking to Asahina Yajinden-sama.'' She gracefully drank some of her wine.

The Lion held no glass, having left his at the table he had been at untouched. "I admit I'm not surprised, or shocked, the things I have seen here are largely what I expected to see Seppun-sama." At least for the most part.

"As for Asahina-sama, he had some concerns about me, and reminded me that my own concerns if left unspoken would remain unheard. I thought is a good time to do so, and to inform him that I will be returning to the services of my clan when we return to Rokugan. To give him ample time to find a replacement for me on the Ashitae Maru."

The first made Kenzo smile warmly. "I would expect so." He said. Indeed, he was pleased to see Ran find someone who she so clearly felt for.

The second... Kenzo's eyebrows went up, even as he bowed low. "That is indeed news." He said mildly. He straightened, smiling. "I'm... very impressed with you, Ran-san, if you don't find it presumptuous of me to say so. Since we met, I expected that you were destined for great things."

He glanced towards the other group, and then back to her. "Did you want to tell them now? I'd understand if you didn't, of course."

Tori flags down one of the servers, and takes to glasses of wine, offering one to her new friend. "To new firsts." she raises a glass.

Hinami nods. '' A shame, really. I think that we lose an important member, the Imperial Explorers will not be the same without you, Matsu-san. You are an important part of this expedition.'' She sincerely said. '' I admire your sense of duty and your wisdom, truly I do.'' She praised the lion.

'' So what were your expectations?'' She asked.

He wasn't quite sure of that, being an important member of this expedition. Few truly seemed to take any advice he offered, or wanted his opinion either.

"That I don't fit in this world Seppun-sama, and tonight would confirm it." He offered in return, with a soft smile on his lips. "The one that the Explorers are creating."

"Progress by sacrificing who we are. Or that's at least how I see it. " His gaze moved across the party, taking in all those in foreign garb.

She observed around. '' Then you should fight for what you believe. And I don't think you don't fit in this world, since there's only one world, Matsu-san. There's only one Ningen-Do.''

'' Will you leave and let those who not share your views do what they want? Or you fight for your beliefs? Making yourself an example to follow...'' She asked. '' I don't think you are alone in your beliefs, Matsu-san. Probably there must be many souls that share your sentiments.''

'' But If you are determined to quit the explorers, then, I can only offer you good luck and hope that the Seven bless you and the path you choose to follow...''
