The Pan had changed and the streets were more crowded then ever but Susumu found some degree of solace in it. He did not enjoy a marketplace monopoly but he had to admit that the Yasuki still managed things admirably. Pad in hand, he began taking notes. He had to make sure his ship had anything it needed but also that his investments would be secure once he left.

A familiar dog came up to the Mantis and began to follow along side him.

The Gusai was focused on his task and so did not notice Nari for quite a while. It was only when he turned around from inspecting some wares that the dog finally bumped into him.
''Well, well...don't I know you?'' he said while crouching to scratch the god behind the ears
''Where is your human? Didi he lose himself? Again?''

The dog licked at the man's hands and his tail wagged excitedly. After a few moments of indulging in the attention, he turned and began moving down the street. A short distance away, Miya Edogawa could be seen in discussion with a merchant.

''I see, Little Edo is stuck in the well''
Taking a break from his work, the Mantis moved over to the dog's human but waiting for the conversation to be over
He was a 'polite' Mantis after all

The remainder of the exchange was brief. Looking over, the Miya smiled.
"Nari-kun, you always bring back the oddest things."

''I feared you might have been in trouble Edogawa-san...you have quite the talent for it'' he replies with a grin
''How have you been?''

"Oh? Have we met?" he looked at the man quizzically, before breaking into another grin. "I am well, Susumu-san. Perhaps a bit anxious to be underway."

He cocked his head looking confused
''What? Anxious? Why would that be?! We are only at the eve of the First Voyage, an entreprise that will define the fate of the Empire for centuries! What could possibly go wrong!?''

"With us? I can't imagine." he laughed. "I was going to look over the Walrus again, to see if anything was needed. Is there anything that comes to mind?"

The captain passed a hand through his hair
''I can't think of anything right now. Wata has been doing a great job fixing the bits and bobs'' he said while crossing his arms
''Say, are you coming on the First Voyage with us?''

"On the Walrus, you mean?" He shrugged. "It depends on where I am needed. Each ship will need skilled sailors, the large ships more so. If I am needed aboard the Ahitae Maru or one of the others, then that is where I will be. You and Wata-san may not need me as much."

''And who will be our acting damnsel in distress?'' he says with a chuckle

"Not my sister, that's for certain." he grinned. "We'll find someone. The question is whether you have enough sake."

''Trust me, I always have a bottle or two near.'' He crossed his arms
''Speaking of sake, in for a drink?''

''The Carp then?'' he continued pointing the establishment with his thumb

"Hai." Edogawa nodded, and led the way. "We should drink and enjoy Dragon's Guard while we can."

''Quite true'' he pushed the establishment's door open
''Sake will have to be rationned for these long trips''

He nodded. "Everything will be rationed. That may be difficult for some of the others."
