[D5-LM] Working away whittle by whittle (ask)

[Ryoshun Mai]

Mai sat just outside her tent with a blanket wrapped around her. Working away on a wooden Aiguchi that seemed to be taking a painfully long time, she still made progress none the less. She wondered if she would find a good owner for the knife soon. The notches for the shark teeth were already shaped.

[Kanna]

Walking around the camp was a certain Kanna. It seemed, at least, that even out here she wasn't completely attached to Reiko's tent. And then a smile crossed her face as she happened to notice Mai at her tent. The Spider approached, giving a lazy salute. "Mai! I didn't get a chance to thank ya proper for dinner. It was real tasty."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"Ah! Kanna! Come, sit! I am glad I got to make us a decent dinner before we got too far into this area." She gestured around her. "I imagine swamp fish aren't too tasty."

"I am working on a shark tooth Aiguchi. It should be done this evening. I need to find a proper owner for it."

[Kanna]

Kanna sat next to Mai, looking towards the aiguchi curiously. "It's a hell of a knife. I ain't much for small weapons like that, so it'd be wasted on me. Maybe lil Ninube would like it." She considered for a moment. "Or maybe we can give it teh Matsu. Though she might think we were makin' a joke about her bein' a kid and get mad."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"I have heard Matsu is pretty tough for a kid. Maybe the teeth will convince her it is a good weapon. Nice at tearing chunks out of people. I mean it is a bit longer than most Aiguchi. Can she handle bigger weapons yet? I have a good feeling this one has serious potential."

(OOC:about a foot))

[Kanna]

"Ye'd wanna ask Old Man Yama about her training. I think I've seen her trainin' with wooden swords that are about as heavy as a normal one, but I'd not speak personally to her experiences. Just her temper. She's got fire in her belly like no one would believe."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"Alright, I will ask. I will also ask her directly. Maybe that will help her feel less like we are picking on her, and more like a proper warrior."

[Kanna]

"That's a much better idea," she grinned and nodded. "I should find a way to repay you the meal, but..." she tapped her chin. "I have no idea what such a repayment might look like..."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"No need. As I said, on this journey, such food may be few and far between. Life is best enjoyed when you can."

[Kanna]

"I suppose." She smirked a bit. "Yeah, you're right. Less time worryin' about who owes who what, more time enjoying the time we get together, eh?"

[Ryoshun Mai]

Mai smiled meaningfully, "I rather enjoy our time together."

[Kanna]

"Same," she nodded, her smile becoming more warm. "You're pretty great to be around."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"You are always welcome to come join me in my tent."

[Kanna]

"That there," her smile widened. "Is an offer I am glad to take."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"I mean, it is pretty tight in there, but you are welcome in."

[Kanna]

"I don't take up that much space," she responded with a mild laugh. "And I certainly don't mind a tight fit."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"I didn't mean to imply you take too much space."

[Kanna]

Kanna stopped and blinked a moment. Then laughed. "I wasn't takin' it that way. Just a shitty joke on my part, please forgive my bad phrasing."

[Ryoshun Mai]

"Perhaps we should test the fit now?" She nodded at the tent and allowed herself the smallest of smiles.

[Kanna]

"Fine by me," Kanna grinned, standing up in response. "Lead the way."
