[D4, EA] Lord Ikoma and the Hostage

[Ikoma Ryota]

"I merely wished to offer my support Ikoma-sama in these trying times."

Earthquake and the Empress blindsiding you isn't fun.

"To be honest, this Winter had taken quite some turns."

"It has," Lord Ikoma replies, looking a little grim. "And the complications continue to grow."

[Asako Kenichi]

"Certwinly." He raosed his fan and glanced briefly at the dais. "You know you have an ally in me Ikoma-sama."

He tilted his head. "No matter what direction thrnwind blows from"

[Ikoma Ryota]

Ryota looked down at him. "I appreciate that, Asako-san. Very much."

[Asako Kenichi]

:Speaking of winds, what do you make of the ones maling up our current little storm?"

He gestures towards the potential heirs.

[Ikoma Ryota]

He grimaced. "Gorobei's a fool, Keihime is vile, Tomaru's an anarchist, and Noriko's a Crane. What's not to love?"
