Mai smiled, "I am happy to call you a friend, like a brother to me. I hope we continue to see each other over many seasons."

Mai shook her head. "You are most welcome to join for food, but unfortunately I am unable to patch people up. I know nothing of medicine."

She began passing out bowls of glorious food, skipping herself for now and leaving some in the pot as she was expecting another to show.

"It is yours if you wish it. If you think there may be someone better equipped to handle it on the expedition, I will hold on to it for now. Then, if such a person is not located in two days time, it will be yours."

(OOC: I don't know of any strength 4 staff users, much less any other staff users)

"We Bat will aid as we can. We are not fighters, but smiths. We are trying to properly outfit as many as possible on the way, and will be able to help with any needed repairs and provisioning. If needed, we can carry our weight in a fight of course."

"I guess it could, the Bat don't interact with fire spirits as far as I know. Still sounds painful, and useful for us if it does damage them." "Hard to imagine one of those size Rats raiding your granary." She laughed, "or the person sent to catch it. I am glad he is on our side." "I have seen peopl...

"It does have a lot of meanings. I guess it just means boy close to me. I am not entirely sure on it either. Then again I am not an expert on language or formalities, simply crafting." She shrugged, "I like a way to acknowledge someone close to me without yet defining how. For example, Taiko is a cl...

"I love to experiment, tradition be damned. Taiko is like that too. Though, he is currently trying to learn how the rats make that stronger metal we plan to use it different ways than they do. Sometimes, you have to tale part of an idea to base a bigger idea off of. Our clan as a whole aims to impro...

Mai sat outside her tent laboring away on her newest creation. The Magnolia wood was hard yet supple and proving a bit of a challenge. It would make for a great weapon once it was finished. In the meantime, work was slow. It was going, just slower than planned. To make a wooden knife one had to be p...

"I believe Taiko was on a journey when you visited. We have known each other long." She paused, "I believe two more are on their way. Do you wish to start eating now or when they get here?" She moved the pot back a bit so it would stay warm but not cook further.

She offered the handle of the weapon to Ryoko. "Here why don't you try swinging it and see how it suits you? Where we are going I want people as best outfit as we can get them."


(It counts as a jo staff, 0k4 unbreakable)

"Something introduced I believe by Lady Doji. They started using it when they became a Clan."

"They just randomly burst on fire? Sounds inconvenient for them. I hope the small one are easily killed, as often small things come in numbers. I wonder if we met the same rat? Ch'Jak'Matt, I think it called itself. Carried a big axe?" "I like to use those gross slugs that eat the vegetable plants. ...

"I make them alone, yes. Sometimes I make them with Taiko. We've known each other since we were young and joined the same clan. We don't need so many, no. We trade them to other Clans in exchange for things we need or to improve our relations."

"Tao for Taochusu. -kun is what you put on the end of names for close men or boys, such as close friends, perhaps a spouse, or one of your children, or even a brother. You use -chan on the end of a name of a blood relative or close friend."

"Metal skin? I wonder how well they would melt down..." Her line of thought was far from normal there. "Was there any further description of the small creatures? The one ratman I met was as tall as nearly two men together." "I was told you see them coming too. A fin like a giant knife comes out of t...

"If he and his...pack are willing to teach a few of their words, I would be happy to learn."

"Are you Ryoshun Mai?"

"That I am. Assuming you are Reiko-san, your bodyguard talked about you a bit yesterday. It is nice to get a chance to meet you."

"By making one friend? So from now on I am calling you Tao-kun, and you are my friend. Wherever you end up, I will consider you such."

"I meant the safety of a village allows for marriage and the eventual security with food supply to support extra mouths to feed. I wish I was able to tell you more of the gods." She looked a bit sad.
