Oh What a Beautiful Morning (D5, LM Open)

[Soshi Yuuru]

He thought for a moment, "Topography... and the size of each respective field. It's a matter of trying to present it in a way that closely reflects what one would see if they viewed it from above. Accuracy is more important than essence."

[Togashi Udo]

Udo listens and is silent for a moment. "Do you climb trees to look from above? In the mountains, it is often easy to see a place from above and see how the land is shaped."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "When it helps I'll climb up a tree. But with enough practice and walking around you can start to do it even without being up high."

[Togashi Udo]

"That must be interesting. To see the world before you and also experience it from above."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled, "I enjoy it. It's a new experience everywhere I go."

[Togashi Udo]

"If we could all see as birds..." he trailed off.

"Are you ready for today's contest?"

[Seppun Aramoro]

The Imperial stretched his neck to see the map, but then retorted once he realised how peculiar that may seem.

"Impressive indeed Scorpion-san. I'm certain many an adventurer would hope for such.

Although I see the usefulness of such a thing, I can imagine some might view it as an act of war. Taking notes of another's land is also known as reconnaissance. "

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "Hence I am giving all of my findings over to the Unicorn."

[Seppun Aramoro]

He stares for a second "Let us hope they know about your intentions before they discover it out of their own cognisance."

He faces the monk: "Oohh you are an artisan of paint? Perhaps you could bless the Miai with a painting of the battle, since you observed it with your own eyes."

[Togashi Udo]

"I would not call my abilities with such lofty words, but it is something I could try... would the Unicorn appreciate that? I do not know their ways enough to know."

[Seppun Aramoro]

Aramoro gave a scoff and a smile: "Neither do I Dragon-san, but it was not the Unicorn alone that fought, it was Rokugan. If that is lost on ones with little understanding of art, so be it. It does not change the way you feel when expressing what yearns to be expressed."

[Togashi Udo]

Udo considered his words carefully.

"Perhaps I shall try, and see how I feel after. I would hate to represent it with anything less than the best I can offer."

[Seppun Aramoro]

He gave a smile when the dragon had responded positively to his suggestion.

"Splendid then. Perhaps you would show to me beforehand? I am not an art expert, but I have been in a few courts before and seen how they tend to be presented and addressed."

[Togashi Udo]

Something about the Seppun unnerved Udo, but he did his best to brush it aside.

"I may take you up on your gracious offer," Udo replies with a bow.

[Seppun Aramoro]

He held his smile "I insist that you do Togashi-san." he returns the bow with a nod.

"But now I will leave you to gather your thoughts, I wish you the comforting of the kami Dragon-san And farewell to you Soshi-san." He takes a bow to both samurai and leisurely strolls off.
