Chisei acknowledged the first with a slow nod. The second... "I'd heard. Especially with the Noriaki, it is said." Chisei nodded again. He frowned thoughtfully, his forehead creasing. "I confess, the tales I've heard of that first encounter with Lord Hantei and his brothers are rather hard to follow...

"Demonstration, explanation, and practice." Chisei echoed, still whispering. "A fine foundation on which to build knowledge."

He narrowed his eyes, still regarding Dawei curiously. "And where did you learn these things, cousin Dawei?" He asked.

Even seeing just the back of his head, Takako would be able to tell that her kiss made Chisei smile. "Mmm, you could do that." He murmured, turning his head, his grin now visible. "Or we could go swimming again. It's been a while. I want to see if I can remember every detail perfectly." Frowning, Ch...

"Hmmm." Chisei considered this. "And how is Youko learning it? By what method, I mean, not the quality of her learning."

Chisei was silent as he followed; sneaking and speaking took more concentration than he could muster. When next they paused, though, he smiled. "There's always a deeper question, whether heard or not, intended or not." He inclined his head to the hunter. "When we cannot find our own truths, we must ...

Chisei chuckled softly. "And I spent a lot of time observing you, my doe. Like that time we were on a hike, and you stretched..." Chisei let out an appreciative sigh. "I walked right into that tree branch. Gave me a lump on the head." He grinned. "It was very much worth it." His eyes glinted at her....

"Something of an adjustment." Chisei whispered. "But less than one might think. Life in the Isawa and life in the Seppun both center around ritual. The details have changed, but the core is very similar." He continued to regard Dawei curiously. "Do you have much experience with other tribes, cousin?...

"Hmmm..." Chisei murmured, but didn't say anything more.

Instead, he stayed crouched, watching Dawei as the hunter did his thing.

"I see." Chisei considered this. "Do you have any expectations, for either threats or game?" He too glanced around, but mostly just kept his head down. "Expectations can be both good and bad, of course. It can help one to find a hidden trail, or lead one down a false path." He smiled gently. "I pref...

For his part, Chisei is not especially quiet. However, he does seem to be quite good at following Dawei's lead, stepping here he steps, crouching when he crouches, allowing the more experienced woodsman to guide him. Still, as they pause for a moment, Chisei edges closer, frowning thoughtfully. "Rem...

Chisei smiled, his thumb gently rubbing her cheek. The imagery was... strange, but it was from her, and meant for him. It might have been the finest poetry he'd ever heard. Certainly the finest involving stones of love. His smile grew, even as he blushed, just a little. "That was a very pleasant sur...

You're keeping 5 across all of the rolls? I think the expedition has a vested interest in you participating. Haha, no no. Only when spending void, and only the Int based ones. But given how the event works, it's only each person's best skill that's important, as per Birb's post here: http://kyuuen....

Who's actually interested in doing it? Reiko, Jin, Nanzi? I see a number of other people have posted their stats, but it's not obvious to me if that means you're interested or not. I would be rolling 8k5 with the contrary bonus. I made this character to have theological, philosophical, and spiritual...

Chisei couldn't help but smile in response. "Thankfully I'm here with you . My doe." He said. He gave her a sympathetic smile. "Indeed. I assure you, it grows easier with time. The first night I spent in your family's home I found quite strange, actually. It seemed so..." His brow creased as he cons...

Chisei might not have noticed most people sitting next to him, not when he was so thoroughly engrossed in study. He certainly wouldn't look up. With Takako, he didn't need to. As she sat beside him, he reached out. His hand unerringly found hers, giving it a gentle squeeze, before returning to his p...

The Seidou were practical, but they were not without sentiment. When they were told that a newlywed couple was among the guests, and one blessed by Shiba himself, they promised to give them a special room. They did... more or less. It was a little more private, being at a bend in the walls. Most arr...
