The Way of Sensei Wu

I would definitely reprise her. She's a survivor who can turn up anywhere.

I never got around to talking to Wu. I was going to tell him to stay for a while and let that poor fox rest.

This was fun. I'm still a bit confused by 5e, but I'm slowly learning.

He should travel with Hibiki, in search of tea.

"It will be a pleasure," Ketsudan says, and he seats himself.

"What blend, if it may be asked? Hoji-cha, perchance?"

She nodded. "This was harvested in Crab lands. It is delightfully light and refreshing."

Ketsudan notices and makes his way there.

"Would Seppun-sama accept some company?" he asks with a bow.

She nodded. "Please, Kitsuki-san, join me for tea."

"I've enjoyed our discussion, Kitsuki-san." she nodded. "I would welcome another one at another time."

The Imperial had found her own place to sit and watch the revelry. There, she had set out a tea set, and requested hit water. She had her own ideas of how to party.

Leaning on her staff, Hibiki followed the procession.

"I apologize. We should not have involved ourselves." Hibiki bowed her head. "I had hoped that our presence could calm the situation and allow everyone time to consider the concerns you both had. Instead, I fear we added to the tension and pressure to resolve things quickly. Good day to you all." Wi...

She shrugged. "It could also be suggested that they are things that feel natural in one's hand. That would certainly be a personal perspective, however."

Hibiki listened quietly, gathering her thoughts. "There is certainly much that Hiro-san can still learn. And, from my experiences with him, he seems eager to do so. However, knowledge can be a dangerous thing on its own. Without guidance, without focus, it can be very easy to lose oneself, to step o...

"For me, they are items one should only hold up with purpose." she said. "Only when you need it."

"My apologies for interrupting, mina-san." Hibiki dipped her head respectfully to both monks. "I overheard your discussion and thought, perhaps, you might be wiling to take a moment to reflect on the situation and share your concerns with others." She glanced towards the other samurai who had been d...

Hibiki was searching for the abbess to thank her and the other monks for tending to her after her collapse, and to discuss her health issues. She did not intend to eavesdrop, nor did she wish to intrude. But, hearing that the discussion involved Hiro, she felt compelled to see if se could at least m...

She nodded. "And, what does the saying mean to Kitsuki-sama?"

Kindachi nods. "A lengthy journey to be sure. However, I suspect that Sensei Wu will be training his students through extensive travel, not by holing up in Circle's End monastery. A journey is not as long when in good company, ne?" he offers. "Ah, that is very true." She nodded in agreement. "That ...

"Remembering lessons, Seppun-sama," Ketsudan replies. "As is recorded in Niten , the way you stand with the sword in your hands is the same way you stand with a tea cup in your hands. "And Seppun-sama's words called the words of the Dragon Thunder's successor to mind." "Mmm..." She sipped at her te...

Combat is probably a bad idea for this Imperial. I'm up for intrigue, though.

"You're right." she nodded. "Moving forward means traveling further than I have before, to southern Crane lands, to the Scorpion, to the Crab and to the Minor Clans. Long journeys. I think that's what I am dwelling on."
