"I do wonder if they've ever all gotten together to have that sort of conversation. No spouses, no hangers-on, just the Kami..."

"Children to see to again, stories to tell, libraries to set up, a wedding to endure, a marriage to enjoy, a war to prepare for, and noses to tweak... I think I'm going to need to remind myself to take breathers when I can get them..." He grinned. "But what a time to be alive, hm? The only possibili...

"Hisomu's return makes for a good reason for such a get-together- and letting them coordinate is probably also wise in light of the coming war. They should make plans for that as well."

"But it doesn't matter who makes the first move- what matters is how it's dealt with. To use an example I don't see happening... what if the Lion decided that the Stag needed to get with the program in some fashion, and applied pressure. What course of action would you recommend to defuse the situat...

My goal is happily funded. My donated point is happily received.

My last point... might become something Kolaty.

"And that's the problem- the impatient sorts are also the ones agitating, trying to make rapid changes."

"See, that's what has me so... agitated with some. They don't understand that the Empire will become what it becomes long after we're all dead. They're stampeding to institute the changes they want in their lifetimes. Their haste will make all changes- good, bad, indifferent- run afoul of more resis...

"Because they have as much to learn from us as they have to teach. Yes, they show us heights to aspire to- but as their abilities are at the pinnacle, so, too, are their failings."

I guess don't play them often!

More a quip about how a dedicated courtier can cheesedick their way through a game on nothing but Awareness and some secondary Willpower. Courtiers are L5R's kings and queens of min-maxing.
