D1 LE - Which way the wind blows

[Yasuki Masaki]

Shiori's words make the smile on Masaki's lips grow warmer. "It does feel that way, doesn't it? And much as the swaying in the river isn't quite the same as in the sea, the winds in southern courts and the others I've experienced before are likewise quite unlike those the Winter brings here, ne?"

She turns to the Shiba again. "Maybe this is also something Shiba-san has previous experience with, though?"

[Shiba Ryusei]

"In point of fact, I have more shipboard experience than courtly... but I find that maintaining one's balance is key to both. And some of that is knowing when to roll with the waves."

The Crab nods, her expression as that of one hearing an important lesson. "Wise words, ne? Shiba-san seems to be learning on deck quite well." A nod. "The Fortunes allowing, the waves will roll more than crash, for most of the trip at least."

[Shiba Ryusei]

He winked.

"From your mouth to their ears, Yasuki-san."
