Nanzi had tea prepared by Jigutsuji as he waited for his guest. He did enjoy the time he spent with Akodo speaking of this Bushido and what was expected of a samurai under this still growing code. It would be good to speak with one that studied under the tactical Lion.

Makime Mineko was punctual as ever. She announced herself in her perfect, polite military tone.

"Good afternoon. I am Makime Mineko, reporting to your invitation." she bowed deeply.

Nanzi rose and bowed and said, "Makime-san, Nanzi is honored by your arrival. I have always thought fondly of Akodo-ue, we have had many an interesting conversation."

"Join me for some tea?"

"Thank you. That is most kind." she joined him as requested.

"You've met with Akodo-kami?"

“Several times, he is my brother by oath, it would be unseemly otherwise,” Nanzi replied warmly.

"I have been a most devout follower of him. I have so much to learn and I am thankful for his guidance. Have you had the opportunity to study strategy with Akodo-no-Kami?"

"Not so deeply but we have spoken on his ideas of what a samurai should be," Nanzi replied.

"Nanzi hopes to learn more from Akodo-ue."

"His insights on what a samurai should be are most inspiring. It is my hope to be a shining example of his teachings."

"The Crane and Stag agree, if only such wisdom was universal," he said wistfully.
