[Day 2 MM closed] Dragon planning huddle

[Agasha Yuna]

As discussed, the Dragons gathered mid-morning over tea and breakfast to discuss how to divide up the work to make sure the clan's obectives were met.

Yuna poured tea for each of them, using the beautiful tea set that Agasha Masao-san had brought for the delegation to use. A green tea with a hint of ginger to warm the body and bring the mind to its sharpest focus.

She waited for the others to get settled and enjoy some tea and rice.

[Mirumoto Jinkan]

Jinkan looked like garbage. His eyes were completely bloodshot and he swayed while walking. Thankfully his fancy clothes were well cared for and fixed appropriately to his body such as it was. He would sit like he wanted to go back to sleep but take the tea anyway.

"What did you wish to speak about Agasha-san?" He began, after sipping the tea and rubbing his eyes with his other hand.

[Agasha Yuna]

"I thought we could think about how to divide up the work, or what other strategy we might use to determine how to prioritize who we should each be talking to, and how we can work out which trade deal to prefer when there are many options and we are all talking to different people."

"A simple way might be to keep touching base daily and exchanging what we've learned and what we think is important to do next."

"Another thought might be to divide the list of goods and each focus on a particular set of needs and surpluses. And there are the other tasks, too."

"Do you have thoughts?"

[Mirumoto Jinkan]

"I have forwarded the Crane's proposal to the daimyo and the delegation. I will try to meet with a Lion delegate today to discuss our alliance. Aside from that...I got nothing. I am considering going into court and asking for a kenjutsu exhibition to give the bushi something to do this winter." He shrugged. "Something something niten."

[Agasha Sanjuro]

Thank you, Mirumoto-san and Agasha-san. Keeping informed shoudldkeep us in good stead.

A niten demonstration! A grand idea.

[Agasha Yuna]

"I think I am close to a Phoenix deal. I'll follow the same process of forwarding to folks on both sides for confirmation, and I won't use any of the resources currently held for the Crane deal."

"I think we most need to find a source for tea next. Do we want to divide up contact with the remaining clans, so we can prioritize making some contacts?"

"There is still Scorpion, Crab, and the minor clans, since Mirumoto-san is already working with the Lion."
