What's on the nails?

[Nozomi]

Nail cleaning and grooming's fine and dandy. Have to get the blood and dirt out or you get cracked nails. Not good for anyone.

The rest... seriously, Koyama, do these lowlanders spend all their time primping and making themselves pretty before their fights?

[Bayushi Umeno]

You know, wearing gloves all the time really cuts down on the nail cleaning.

Just saying. It seems a trend.

[Hantei Kinsen]

The northern mountain folk paint their nails and faces before the hunt. Tradition.

Or handwraps. That, at least, is sensible advice.

I just don't really 'do' this whole beautifying process. Never saw the point.

... ah. Never went that far north. I stick to the Spine.

Kinsen-sensei, please tell us the story of how it became a tradition.

If I could afford gloves that would be great.

[Bayushi Umeno]

Find someone hiring muscle to beat up bandits for a reward. I'm sure 'gloves' or 'handwraps' would be in their budget.

[Taochusu]

Only ever worked for myself. Don't make much money, but I get to go where I want when I want.

During harsh winters, food is scarse up there. So, many of the tribe's wives are huntresses. They leave their nails long and coat them with special paint in a ritual to honor the komainu spirits that bless the tribe with strength, wisdom and protection.

Eat the rich.

There are three ways to get what you want in life. The first is to buy it or trade for it. Everything, and everyone, has a price.

The second is to take it. The strong have whatever they wish, as long as stronger (alone or in a group) doesn't come along.

The third is to make it yourself. Gather the ingredients, do the work, figure out the how of it. That includes making allies, making friends, making lovers.

Since you're not going to do the first, and the third sounds not really your thing... I'd find a bandit with a nice set of gloves.

Why am I the cushion?

[Seppun Dawei]

Seems to be instinctive.

Think of it as a chance to help.

I have to change it up occasionally. If I only sit on Reiko, people will think me one dimensional.

[Hanzou]

Nail hygiene is particularly important when gathering the mushrooms or tending to the gardens. You need to be careful when mining and smithing, too.

I could also try wishing it into existence too!

*eye twitch*

Yes... yes, you could.
