Oh What a Beautiful Morning (D5, LM Open)

[Soshi Yuuru]

Yuuru listened carefully. But as the man began to break down and cry he became increasingly detached from the story.

What is this...? Was Chi-pu his lover?

[Seppun Aramoro]

Aramoro was moved by the story, but the monks inability to hold back his tears was unbecoming of a samurai, especially unexpected from a Dragon. Perhaps this type of story was more suited for an Ikomo Lion.

Should I look away and save him some honour? Oh what the Jigoku, this is too interesting.

"Forgive me for staring in your time of sorrow Monk-san, but you seem to care much for these... Unicorn maidens. Am I correct in my observation?"

This would explain why he was so angry and offensive.

[Togashi Udo]

Udo looked up at the man.

"I was impressed by them. Chi-Pu's sacrifice effected me, but I did not care for them more than another." Udo stood back up and looked between the two. They were... unconcerned. Udo closed his eyes again and gathered himself.

He remembers the fortune he was given, and a calm comes over him. "I let a moment overcome me."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "Maybe you should rest a bit today Togashi-san? Battles can be pretty jarring things."

[Togashi Udo]

Udo bowed to him. "Yes. This one apologizes for rudeness earlier. This one is Togashi Udo."

He looks out over the fields and rolls his shoulders. "It is a very nice view. Just a few days ago I painted the dueling fields."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "You enjoy paintings then? I do a... type of drawing... would you like to see?"

[Togashi Udo]

"Yes," he answered, with a bit of an upward tick at the end almost like it was a question.

[Soshi Yuuru]

He showed the Togashi the map of the area that he was working on. It was of a part of the scenery that didn't include the new crater.

[Togashi Udo]

Udo looked it over slowly. "It seems quite accurate. You do this for pleasure?"

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "In part. It's also a part of my duties in the exploration of the Shinomen."

[Togashi Udo]

"I take it you've been in the forest?"

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "For most of the past two years."

[Togashi Udo]

"Impressive. I imagine you were of great service with sketches like these."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He tilted his head, "I hope to be. The Piranha need a bit of help. I'm glad to offer what I can for them in their new efforts."

[Togashi Udo]

Udo nods. "May the Fortunes aid you."

Udo glanced again at the drawing. "What do you find to be most important when drawing like this?"
