"I love you." He kissed her again.

Reluctantly breaking away after a few moments, he smiled warmly.

"I'll need help, from both of you. To find my place."

I sort of built him as a potential recruit into the Bat. I knew I wasn't going to bring Nazo and I knew Agasha would be in the game. So, I was looking at building a character who could connect with her and any other Bat characters. I also wanted to give the Bat a bushi. The initial concept was a spi...

I'd expect no less. I'll stay on your good side (or blind side, if necessary).

"Yes." He looked in Miuna's eyes. "I want to stay with you."

"We'll stay and help." Hanzou nodded. "Shinjo chirrr sama, if you'll accept me, I'd like to pledge my service to you and your followers."

It's the drawback I chose for Child of Chikushudo. Crippling Stutter: The ancestor’s true form seems to interfere with your ability to communicate. Every few sentences, your words come out garbled and nonsensical. Hanzou is half Komouri, so it was high pitched. His speech is peppered with Komouri wo...

Ask and I will answer. You can ask about Nazo too, if you'd like.

All praise is well deserved. There's just not enough to give.

He hugged her tight.

"We're fortunate it wasn't worse. We'll be leaving as soon as we can, I'm sure. You can show me your lands."

He welcomed the embrace and the kiss, gently brushing her hair back.

"It is hard to believe, but we were together. All of us." He looked from Miuna to Aono and back. "You're unhurt? Both of you?"

"I know Jin chikt sama has been tending to the wounded." He signed as he spoke. "We came to help, skritch hoping he'd rest. Miuna is concerned for your chree wounds, in particular, as am I."

It was over. There were still dangerous things in the shadows, still reasons to be on guard. Hanzou wouldn't truly feel they were safe until they were far to the north. He walked the perimeter of the camp, watching fir any remaining threats. But, it was over. They were waiting for him at one of the ...

I have 1 tied up for marriage. I intended 2 to go towards bloodless casting.

He'd tried to stop her.

"Give them a moment. If we can help her, we will."

Hanzou had checked on Miuna and scouted around the camp. Now, his intention was to relieve Jin, healing any remaining wounded in need. Getting a glimpse of the conversation and no current patients, he waited a polite distance away, watching for anyone else approaching.

Yep. Ryoshun Seido is underway.

The Bat do have a Kami who can design for them, though.

Ssscccrrreeeeeeeeee......! An inhuman cry passed through Hanzou's lips as he drew an arrow. The final part of the ritual had begun. "Kaze-no-Kami, Jikoju of the East, Komoku of the West, Tamon of the North, Zocho of the South, Guardians of the Four Winds, lords of the sky and spirits of the air, he...

Hanzou focused on the whispers of Air. He knew not all of the spirits surrounding him were the playful kami he needed. There were darker voices, more malignant than mirthful. They were misleading him. It took longer than it should have, and he hoped the delay would not be costly, but Hanzou finally ...

I'm actually at a birthday party. Several relatives have birthdays at this time.
