Ryushi sat on a rock with his shamisen at hand. He started to slowly play to check if the instrument is in tune.

And suddenly, he had an audience. A Scorpion and his dog stopped and listened to the Phoenix.

"Konbanwa Scorpion sama..." He saw the dog and remembered that the Soshi spoke of a Scorpion with a dog. "You must be Yogo sama." The Phoenix continued playing. "I met your clan mate and he spoke of you."

"Hai. You are correct. I am Yogo Kiuchi and this is Sato. That was some lovely music. I hope we didn't interrupt you."

Ryushi shook his head. "No... this one is Shiba Ryushi." The Shiba gave a seated bow. "Thank you... I welcome both your company and Sato san. Any request Yogo sama?"

"I am interested in hearing songs from your homeland if you don't mind."

The Shiba started playing a song that reminded people about the mystery and magic. Ryushi would start singing not with words but vocalizing to add to the sound. The Phoenix wasn't bad but he was an artist he just enjoyed the complexity of the art. Once finished the man gave a seated bow.
