Heavenfall

Kaze looked to the left, then up at the wall, falling silent for a moment.

"Hida's people are expecting this time to end."

"How do you mean?"

Dawei's gaze follows Kaze's.

"One doesn't build a wall that high or thick if one doesn't expect someone to attack it."

Kaze frowns. "Or something, one supposes."

"Ah."

Dawei considers.

"Even with the Kami, though, there has still been fighting. Not as much, perhaps, but still enough."

Kaze frowned.

"We haven't needed a wall like that one. These people know something that we do not."

"Different places, different dangers. But I can think of a few times we could've used one."

He sighs, looks away northeast.

"More than a few, really."

"No walls in Shinomen," Kaze murmured. "We will want to know about these dangers before we are without the Crab's walls."

Dawei nods. It's a sensible notion.

"Suppose we could ask some Seidou."

"Then that is what I shall do."

Kaze smiles and falls silent for the remainder of the journey back to town.
