Daily History Lessons V (Day 6, Late Afternoon)

[Yogo Yuichi]

Perhaps people didn't notice but Yuichi was there since the beginning of the history lesson! Such a ninja-Yogo he is...

Histories about the Wall, Oni, the Ninth's legions and death in general? This was the place for a Yogo. This was an interesting lesson, especially if the topic of discussion is considered taboo.

For now, he just listens silently to the Usagi.

[Matsu Kogo]

She looks at him and understands what has likely happened. "Do not let this one's curiosity be a trouble to you. I do not mean to impose." Losing another in battle is a painful experience.

[Usagi Tomoe]

"If Kaiu-sama would share with us, that is his choice, but I understand it is still soon after Otaku-sama's death for many of us," the Hare added, hoping it could give Hiroji an honorable way out if he chose not to divulge what happened.

[Shinjo Liu Fei]

Fei had separated herself from any grouping, all the better to be able to listen to the details of the story after all. While the others spoke Fei was thinking, thinking about the story. Until she realized something about it. However, as the others seemed to be busy she didn't speak up just yet.

Instead, she just moved closer to get a better idea of what they were actually talking about.

[Usagi Tomoe]

Noticing the approaching Shinjo, Tomoe acknowledged her with a bow and a friendly smile. She was growing accustomed to the different Unicorn that were showing up for her lessons, so she was ready to answer any questions this one might have.

[Shinjo Liu Fei]

Sharing in the custom, Fei offered a bow of greeting to the Usagi. Of course, first, she kept to an attempt at remaining proper.

"I am Shinjo Liu Fei," she said more for the group than Tomoe. "Foremost, thank you for sharing this lesson Usagi-san," she bowed in thanks.

"Might I ask... perhaps you covered this on other days," she admitted possible fault. "What of the other Clan's?"

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Hm?" the rabbit tilted her head slightly to the side, trying to guess at what the Shinjo was really asking. "... Do you mean... the history of the other clans? Or in just this specific battle?"

[Shinjo Liu Fei]

"In your lesson, I only ever heard Crab names or of the Crab. Surely a conflict such as that would inspire a reaction from the others?"

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Well, I mentioned the Mantis Clan Champion Hotako was there," she said with a slight nod now that she knew what Liu Fei wanted to know. "There were a group of Daidoji Iron Warriors from the Crane Clan there too, but there are few records of their deeds, but it seems they served mostly in a defensive capability on the flanks or guarding important targets like shugenja and commanders."

"The other clans played a larger role in the aftermath of the battle, with many clans gifting the Crab with food and resources to recover from the fight. Some did not." She had spotted a Scorpion in the audience, so she didn't feel like bringing that up.

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

Monkhbaatar had been present for the lesson and discussion, but for now chose to remain quiet, simply thinking on the lesson.

[Yogo Yuichi]

Yuichi was close enough, so he heard Tomoe's comment about the Scorpion. '' Like us. You forgot to mention. Usagi-san'' He interrupted their conversation. He was smirking behind his mask.

[Usagi Tomoe]

The Hare gave a puzzled look to the Scorpion. She hadn't said anything about his clan... or much of the actions the other clans either.

"I'm sorry, Yogo-sama," she bowed, "but I've never come across any records stating that the Scorpion were at the battle of Cresting Wave. I will gladly hear of your accounts."

[Yogo Yuichi]

'' I'm not talking about that. Your story is totally correct. I'm talking about your comment that some clans did not help the Crab after the battle of the Cresting Wave. Like the Scorpion. You -forgot- to mention that part.'' He explained.

'' I'm Yogo Yuichi by the way.'' He presented himself with a bow.

[Kaiu Hiroji]

"If Kaiu-sama would share with us, that is his choice, but I understand it is still soon after Otaku-sama's death for many of us," the Hare added, hoping it could give Hiroji an honorable way out if he chose not to divulge what happened.

Hiroji nodded to her, his expression hardening again. "Yes, today is not the day to speak of such matters."
He gave the Yogo a long look.

[Iuchi Yukarin]

Yukarin arrived late and out of breath, having missed the link in the Open Threads. As she caught her breath the best she could and listened to the conversation, she got the impression she'd missed a very interesting lecture and conversation.

Frowning, she found a spot out of the way to sit.
