[Day 15, EN] A Dark and Stormy Night

[Togashi Saruko]

"I realize I likely cannot do skitch both." he admitted. "Agasha's knowledge is fascinating and vreeesss eclectic. I'm very krinckt curious about what she may make of it all. But, I would be happy to learn chirk from Jin, if he would have me, and I would be very willing to follow Shinjo, if I was with Miuna."

"Ah." That simple sound was enough to encapsulate that she understood what was going on. "It seems the two of you noticed eachother quickly," she chuckled, "I'm happy."

"Miuna is set on her path with Shinjo-Kami?"

[Hanzou]

He greeted Wu with a wave, before nodding in response to Saruko.

"She adores sristsss Shinjo and I can understand why. I don't fully understand your clans, but I imagine heeecht joining her as a follower of Shinjo is the simplest way to be with her."

[Togashi Saruko]

Likewise, Saruko gave a wave to Wu, to show she was aware of him.

"Mm, that is the easiest way to be together, yeah. I don't think you would find yourself misplaced among the Ki-rin though... Shinjo-Kami is kind and compassionate, and there are many exceptional people who can teach you much there too. Even for tribes, it would be different to belong to two tribes at once, no?"

[Hanzou]

He shrugged. "I assume so. I don't really chirt belong with the koumori, but I have limited experience with humans. It hasn't been as vrip difficult as I imagined, however."

[Togashi Saruko]

"I think you seem to be doing a good job with humans," she said encouragingly.

"Did you grow up with the komouri then?"

[Hanzou]

"Normally, I would have been left to be raised by my screeee human father." he nodded. "That wasn't possible. One of our chirrr elders, Unmei, taught me human culture."

[Togashi Saruko]

"I see. It seems he taught you well then. Will you be returning to him after this, before you leave him for good to follow Shinjo?"

[Hanzou]

He nodded. "I hope so. There are things I'd screeek like to tell him about our journey."

[Togashi Saruko]

"I'm sure he'd love to hear it. Apart from Miuna, what would be the highlights of what you'll tell him?"

[Hanzou]

"Mostly, I simply intend to report what I've learned about the vreek Kami and what they are crating." he shrugged. "And, I think he should skisht investigate those ruins we explored."

[Togashi Saruko]

"Ah. Hmm... yes, I can see why that would be of interest," she nodded thoughtfully after giving it some thought. "Will it be safe for him to travel here? Or rather... hmmm... if he has the ability to traverse the realms, he might be able to find a different way there - as it felt like all the realms gathered together there."

[Hanzou]

He nodded. "If such a portal exists, chrich he and the others should at least be aware of it. It should probably be skee watched over, too."

[Togashi Saruko]

"He might have some answers as to who built it too? It didn't seem to be Nezumi architecture to me."

[Hanzou]

"He might." he nodded. "I am very chisss curious about that. It would require very kreent strong magic."

[Togashi Saruko]

"That is sadly outside of my expertise, but I hope you find someone who can help you with it."

She looked at their surroundings to make sure everything was as it should be in this part of camp, stifling a yawn briefly as she did so.

[Hanzou]

"So do I." he nodded. "For now, my focus is on niskt tomorrow's events."

[Ninube]

Ninube quietly made her rounds. Though maybe it was nerves, her observations were not as good as she would have liked.

[Hanzou]

Unaware Ninube was nearby, Hanzou took a closer look at Saruko's banner.

[Togashi Saruko]

The banner seemed to be coming together well. The banner itself seemed to have been constructed from clothes that had been cut and repurposed into a more flag-like shape. Though it was bundled up, he could make out what seemed to be a large bird embroidered on in the center. Perhaps the Imperial symbol? There was also a scorpion, a bat, a ki-rin... each symbol seemed to have a different color.

Noticing he was looking at her work, she smiled briefly. "I won't be able to finish it all tonight, but, I'm confident it will be ready in time for tomorrow's push."

[Hanzou]

"It's good scract work, especially under these circumstances." he smiled. "I've heard the various names the crickt Kami have chosen for their clans. But, seeing them all together, what they are making is reeech impressive."
