Sora returned to the riverside. It had been pretty crowded that morning, all things being equal, but hopefully, enough people were eating the evening meal right now to get a little elbow room.
He supposed he could have gone for a drink at the brewery, but given how things had gone the last time Hikaru had gone for a drink in a building anywhere near Hida, that was probably best avoided.
Let's see if these southlanders can make beer and not just monkey's piss.
He carried a skin of the local brew, and took in the scenery.
No Hikaru ever really though of nature as an ally- the Spine of the World was too cruel for that- but that didn't mean it wasn't beautiful, and a source of life.
It just meant that the awareness of potential death was always present.
He took a pull and thought of one of the old songs. Then he started in on it.
His singing voice was awful, but that wasn't what mattered.
Besides, any Seidou hearing a Hikaru song in their lands and complaining could get fucked.

Re: [Day 1, EE] Auld Acquaintance (Expecting)
Atrocious singing was a trademark Kozan could easily recognise. Venturing away from the Seidou sprawling squats and farmlands, which appealed to him much less than the nature's severity, not unlike to Sora, he was carrying a beer skin that was from way up north. Xiao Bao trotted in some distance behind him as he approached his long-time-no-see-kinsman.
"Lang time na see, kinsman!" He bellowed.

Sora's song trailed off as he felt the smile overtaking his face.
"Now I KNOW that's not Shinjo Koyama, because Shinjo Koyama is married to a fine woman with way better places to be than within a mile of MY stinking carcass! I must be hallucinating from some Seidou brewing mistake!"

"Now, Kozan.... there's an absolute jerk, worthy of my presence!"
He unstoppered the skin and took another long pull, then held it out.
"It's a pale shadow of what we can get up north, but any creek in a drought, eh?"

Sora took a long pull.
"Mother of twelve BASTARDS, that hits the spot."
He passed the skin back to his friend.
"Been a busy day, kinsman. Been a busy day. How're you and yours looking at what lies ahead?"
