Let the Dice Fall (D9 EE, expecting)

[Ide Amaya]

Satsujin settled back in place with an agile movement, as Amaya smiles, "animals are good judges of character, better than most people. But it's hard for Satsujin to trust, just as samurai are wary of him." Her smile becomes soft and wistful, "the Fortunes will surely keep you in their favour, you don't need luck, Satsujin will be your second if there is any question of your character."

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Tomonaga laughed. "I think Hiroji-san would be disappointed if I asked a weasel to be my second before I asked him. But... thank you. Amaya-san." He gave her a bow.

Sighing, he looked westward, at the little remaining sliver of sunlight. "I should go. There's someplace I need to be. Can't be late, or at least I really shouldn't." He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling, as he continued to look off to the distance.

[Ide Amaya]

"Mmm, I as well, truth be told. But I'm glad we had this time." She smiles warmly, "until next time?"

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Her warm smile was matched with one of Tomonaga's own. "Until next time, Amaya-san."

He bent down, retrieving the lantern he'd been carrying, pausing a moment to light it. Then, with a last bow, he walked back towards the village, until a distant point is all of him that can be seen.
