I was sorrow-swamping on previous day, so not gonna jump in, but haz TA/HB1 goodness if needed:

4k3+5 on Sincerity and Etiquette via VP

"The conqueror, hmmm?" Chisei echoed, amused. "Perhaps I will be tonight..." But he stopped moving and flirting both as she raised a hand. He paused, looking around, trying to spot anything dangerous. "I don't think that combination is unusual." Chisei said, speaking more softly now. "But it is unu...

"Chisei the Conqueror." She murmured back, and slowed down, raising a hand to halt their movements.

"Air...and a lack of fire? Is that usual, do you think?" She eyed around for anything from the wild.

Takako sat silently, and nodded to her husband. "Arigatou Chisei-kun." She glanced around the others. "Have you heard Togashi-sama's other stories?"

Takako shook her head, her vision cutting through the fog...and seeing a familiar face.

Oh no.

"Dawei-san!"

She yelled, jumping in after her cousin.

OOC:
D5 LN SWAMP OH SORROW Resist Taint to save Dawei, Earth vs tn 15, VP for +1k1: 4d10o10 20

"Hai....a strange mix of water and earth, perhaps?" She asked curiously, though she kept her eyes roaming around the area, though she did notice Chisei's own roaming eyes...and hid a smile.

"Oh? I would not wish to be improper Chisei-kun, and invade your space.." she replied demurely.

"I'm curious what we can find here. I don't think we'll see many boars." She glanced back at her husband. "I have never seen such a place. It's so..hot, and cold. And the smells..." She shivered. "I hope it won't get colder too much..."

Takako heard a voice she hasn't heard in years. "Mother?" She stumbled in the dark, surprised as she was standing on the edge of the swamp. "How did I get here..." She looked past into the fog, seeing a vague feminine figure beckoning. Memories flooded her, the time spent with her mother, learning t...

A new face appeared...this one not a Togashi, nor even a Dragon.

"Ah, gomen minna-sama." She eyed the two strange people....and the rock?

"Am I bothering?"

Skipping this one due to RL busy weelend. Good luck folks!

"Oh, good." Chisei breathed a sigh of relief. Chisei murmured pleasantly as Takako leaned against him. He put his arms around her holding her against him. "I don't know either. But even though we are not gods, many beings working together can accomplish what a few strong cannot." Gently, he cupped ...

Takako giggled. "Ie. I am just the wife of a very wonderful yet mortal man." She inclined her head. "Though we are glad to help, and I feel Hantei-kami is also generally inclined to help others, from my brief experience of him, but Kinsen-sama knows better, of course." She smiled. "Thoguh it shall b...

Chisei briefly closed his eyes, smiling as Takako's lips touched him. "Yes. Once we're more established. I see it very much as being part of the life I want to share with you, my love." He chuckled softly. "First, of course, rescuing a god. It sounds strange to say, but, well!" He smiled. "I have n...

"I...would love to have children." Her response was straightforward. "After some time, I think. My schooling with Kenshiro--sensei is coming along nicely, and I want to study some more, perhaps. Also, we still need to rescue a god, first." She smiled, and gave him a gentle peck. "What do you think m...

Takako smiled. "Well, I am lucky too. He is a good man, and a great sage." She let out a sigh but tensed when she noticed the new arrival. "Ie...these are Seidou lands, from the Crab clan. We are of the Stag clan. Seppun Takako." She indicated to herself, though she did grip her spear just in case. ...

Chisei clicked his tongue at Takako in teasing disapproval. "I do mean that. But you're right. I am in love. And if your father would be ecstatic if I kissed you, well then..." As she leaned closer, his eyes had already drifted to her lips. They were newlywed enough that he wanted to kiss her just ...

Gonna be scarce for a few days, helping out inlaws today, tomorrow and Friday, and helping dad move on Saturday. I'll try to be active as I can be.

Her beer wares settled for the trip, Takoko noticed some of the other customers. One was....horns?!

What?!

She idly moved by, warily observing the movements of the strange bearing...until he ended up next to the Bat. "Ah, gomen...Ryoshun-san?"

"Oh? Swiming." She smiled. "Perhaps you'll beat me this time."She laughed and leaned closer to him. "Oh, you're just in love. You don't mean that." She did smile at the thought, her smile widening. "Oh, please. He would have been ecstatic if you kissed me." She smirked. "At least for goodbye you did...

"Oh, really?" She moved closer to give a kiss to the back of his head. "Ah, I recall that incident. Perhaps I shall endeavor not to be so distracting next time. A thick straw cloak might work." She chuckled, then fell deep in thought. "Eh...am I the right person to ask?" She wasn't too smart, as men...
