Despair and Wisdom: Imperial March

Meilin bows allowing the Crab to return to his renewed preparations while she returns to her duties.

With the troops dismissed, Masayuki notices the Unicorn waiting. "Greetings, Shinjo-sama. How was the first day in the Second Kaisha?" "Second Kaisha is performing admirably, Hida-san, thank you for asking." she replies. "Your own efforts seem to be paying off as well." She nodded at the departing ...

Meilin surveilled the scene with a hard to read look. She sighed. "Take him outside, Usagi-san, this is no place for children." she said. She called out to the Utaku as well. "Utaku-san, if you've got any spare rations and/or spare blanket, give it to him. See if once he's outside, and has a little ...

Melin nodded at the Hare to go ahead. Her bow was ready to strike down any threat that he might encounter entering the structure.

Some of us ain't riding by anyway. Kaigen hunkered down on his haunches, surveying the scene. "Dunno many peasants who sleep late. Also dunno many farms that look this empty without obvious signs of violence." Melin nodded. "Still, I don't trust this quiet." Meilin said. "Usagi-san, take point, Uta...

Meilin nodded approving at her subordinate's caution, if not her hope. "One of a few possibilities." she offered, dismounting and also drawing her bow. "May have fled due conflict with the Lion, or were preyed upon by bandits while the Crane's forces were distracted by such...or even fell to disease...

In their respective journeys, A small farm comes into view. As fortune would have it, the Unicorn's sweeping of the area and the Hare's running in the same general direction happen to bring them there roughly at the same time. Meilin brings her steed to a halt surveying the farm with a frown. The re...

As the Hida diligently trained the troops, a woman in the colors of the Unicorn watched on approvingly. It was clear from her stance that she intended to speak to him once he had completed his instruction.

As soon as the first rays of Lady Sun showed themselves, the second kaisha was on the move. Shinjo Meilin was certainly the type of leader to lead from the front, and so the first horse out of the herd was hers. She galloped along, enjoying the wind on her face as the Crane lands were easy to ride a...

Mukai nods along, despite her earlier issues around troop movements she did have a basic understanding of tactics, "A wise review and I'll keep it in mind. Are there any other concerns, legion or otherwise, that I should know?" Meilin shook her head at that. "I don't believe so, at least not within...

Meilin frowned a bit at it. "I don't have anything" that I'd care to duel over to prove, but there are a couple of concerns I have. I don't particularly have a lot of faith in the leaders of fifth and sixth kaisha. I could be wrong, but I get that feeling you have when you're considering crossing ov...

Mukai smiles and taps the Shinjo dojo mon near her heart, "I've learned from the best. So no worries there." Meilin nods. "Good. And it goes both ways, Utaku-san. I have a few moments if there is something you would like to ask me....beyond reporting walks with famous Dragon generals. A leader has ...

Mukai nods, "He ended the conversation at that point but I couldn't say if that was dissatisfaction with the response or if he was just done talking. As you said he's not easy to read... and I'm not that skilled a reader if I'm being honest." "Frankly, Utaku-san, I would be much more concerned if y...

"That makes sense. It's not a currency I tend to trade in though he did seem to try to impart it. He asked what I saw in the stars and which did I favor. I took the last part, though context is also not my strong suit, to refer to the current... concerns... about the throne." She took the water and...

There is the briefest of frowns at the thought that there were any problems with the second kaisha, but it vanished a moment later as the Shinjo realized the context. "Ah....you went on one of the general's walks." she says with comprehension. "You probably needn't worry yourself about that on two c...

"I had intended to meet at some point to make sure I knew of any needs of the Kaisha beyond simple duty. Last night I chanced to encounter the commander and he asked me to pass along his regards. So it seemed as good a time as any to do both." Melin nodded. "Efficient. However, the second has the h...

"No apologies needed, Shinjo-sama, thank you." After a quick bow Mukai follows the other Unicorn into the tent. Having seated herself, the Shinjo set some documents to side, and gave the Utaku an appraising glance. "So, what can I do for you, Utaku-san?" she asked, curious for the reason for the vi...

The commander had told her to give his regards to her chui. She suspected it was probably intended as an empty politeness but, still, she had intended to meet the Shinjo soon anyway so killing two birds with one stone seemed a proper approach. Having made sure Meilin was not otherwise occupied she ...
