[D9, EM - Expecting] A Morning and Imperial Constitutional

[Daidoji Sae]

Snip

"As you say, I might not have that greatness. But with many samurai working together there can be a greatness in the sum of all parts."
Smiling slightly.
"A more talented orator might then link that concept to the Empire itself. But I shall simply motion at it."

She gestures to the short path back to the gate.
"It has been surprisingly nice to be in close proximity to so many different Clans at once. For all our differences we are much more the same. Hopefully that will lead to more of that greatness and unity."

Snip

"You do not have it yet. Daidoji-bugyo. That does not mean. It is beyond you forever," Tomaru says.

He manages to get a couple of deep breaths in. They seem to help him.

"And you are right. We are more alike than not. Family all, ultimately."

[Daidoji Sae]

Sneep

"And it is family that often squabbles the hardest."
Sae smiles very slightly and dips her head as the two return to the Kyuden Gates.

"Thank you for the conversation and the company, this was an invigorating way to start the day. I seem to always have something to reflect on after our conversations."

[Seppun Tomaru]

The rally continues

"Do you, Daidoji-bugyo?" Tomaru asks as he falls in with her. He smiles crookedly as he adds "I'm glad of it. Does an old man good to hear young folk listen to him."

The famous non-snip

"I try to listen to everyone, Seppun-san. But some I remember more than others."
As the two approach the gates she drops her voice slightly.

"Could I ask you to pass on a short letter to Lady Seppun-sama when the opportunity avails itself. I wish to keep her appraised of some investigations occurring in the Eye."

[Seppun Tomaru]

not going to go there

"Of course," Tomaru says. "I will report to her before my duty shift, in any event; it will be a good time to do it then.

"Though I do not think you have it with you at present? Unless you have some Miya magic about you, to keep good paper good without a case for it."

[Daidoji Sae]

Snip

"I think Lady Seppun would perhaps look askew at a letter quite so warm and damp."

She gestures at the Kyuden.
"I shall have it run over from my room. It is nothing of note, but I would prefer she is aware of any concerns"

((It's a very polite missive from Sae noting there have been a couple weird occurrences in the Eye, but that of course the local authorities are onto it and nothing definitive has emerged))

[Seppun Tomaru]

Snip to you

"I shall look forward to it," Tomaru says as they reach the gate and are waved through--whether because he was recognized or she was matters little. "And I will ensure it reaches her."

He looks back where they had been.

"I will have to do more of this, I think."

"Thank you, I am sure it is nothing."
She nods at the guards as they enter side by side before turning to look back at the track.

"You move faster than most of the samurai in the castle. But a daily jog suits most samurai. I hope I will see you on the trail again."
Bowing politely.
"This was a pleasure. May the rest of your day be blessed."

((/scene? Thanks for the RP ))

[Seppun Tomaru]

Once more

"And yours!"

Tomaru bows his farewell.

(Thank *you*!)
