[DEADLY EVENT] It's Raining Dragons (D4, Late Evening)

[Soshi Taira]

Taira observed the hustle and bustle and then walked slowly to the dragon, stopping outside fang distance.

"If you can understand me... why? Why did you do this?"

[Togashi Udo]

After seeing that Yuzuki is breathing, he walks up to the orochi.

"Whatever reasons it had, it fought until the end."

[Kaiu Hiroji]

After a moment Hiroji rose from beside the mantis and joined the two samurai beside the dragon. "Indeed Udo-San. Now let's finish what it begun." With one final glance to where the Otaku lay, he walked over to his axe and picked it up.

[Mindshred]

Taira observed the hustle and bustle and then walked slowly to the dragon, stopping outside fang distance.

"If you can understand me... why? Why did you do this?"

The wounded serpent's body rises and falls as it gasps for breath. "...mujina..." it moans, eyes rolling back into its skull.

[Togashi Udo]

"Put it out of its misery, Hiroji-san. It attacked us; leaving it alive to suffer is wrong."

[Kaiu Hiroji]

Hiroji nods, the anger visible on his usually reserved face. He walks up to the dragon, raises the axe, and brings it down on the giant snake. Again and again until the serpent lays completely still.

[Soshi Taira]

Taira bowed in silence as it happened.

"May your next incarnation be more merciful."

A soft sigh, and then he straightened.

"I will need help moving the wounded, she must be carried gently and carefully."

[Togashi Udo]

Udo nods. "I will help."

[Shinjo Liu Yue]

Yue looked upon the fallen orochi. She wanted to spit upon its face, proclaim how she would make sure its body was desecrated beyond measure. She wanted to tell it that its corpse would rot under the burning sun, that its eyes would be consumed by maggots, and that its bones would be struck with rain for days to come.

But she retained her calm. As Hiroji hacked away at the beast, she retrieved her tetsubo and approached the group near Yuzuki. "I cannot carry her properly," she admitted, "But I will do all that I can, Taira-dono."

Etiquette/Awareness Fluff Roll: 18 ((Really wish that failed, actually xD))

[Togashi Udo]

Udo carefully picked up Yuzuki's body and began to walk back toward the village.

(Someone is welcome to help, just sort of moving things along)

[Soshi Taira]

Taira nodded. "Please, ride ahead and give word. Send someone to tend to your fallen kin. I will see to the mantis."

Joining Udo, he began to process of carefully moving the mortally wounded woman to shelter, to ensure he could tend her wounds once they arrived.

[Shinjo Liu Yue]

"Hai." She approached Taira, her tetsubo resting on her shoulder. "Will you attend to my wounds tomorrow, Taira-dono?"

The Shinjo walked in a bit closer. "I would like to speak with you in private."

Regardless of the answer, she went back to Hikazume and mounted her steed. "Let's go!" she ordered. And with that, the two of them rushed forward through the rain to do as Taira asked.

/Exit

[Soshi Taira]

Taira just nodded.

His attention was, primarly, on making sure the death count didn't... well... grow. It would be a slow return to camp, but he wasn't about to rush it.

/exit?

[Kaiu Hiroji]

"I will stay here and wait for the help." Hiroji said grimly. As he eyed the dead dragon. His hatred evident on his face.

[Mindshred]
