Dark Edge Village

Shinjo Akil was still not feeling well as he began walking around the various yurts. He hadn't really any direction, if one was telling the truth. More, he was simply moving around and making himself available if someone wanted to talk. It seemed the polite thing to do... even if there was part of him that hoped they would ignore him until he had some time to not have the most upset stomach ever.

A tiny Moshi came out of her Yurt with her basket with her divination kits inside. Still she felt ill from the dinner but the fortunes and Lady Sun wait for her to aid their followers in the path to enlightenment. Asakiko looked at the Unicorn who was doing a round and gave him a bow. "Let the blessings of Lady Amaterasu shine upon you Unicorn sama." She greeted.

Noting the woman, and utterly failing to know anything at all about her mom, he opted for a low bow. Could be another imperial for all he knew. "Samurai-sama, it is my honor to meet you. I hope you are doing well?"

"I could be better but I hope that the rays of Lady Amaterasu fixes that." She smiled. "This one is Moshi Asakiko."

"May the Sun provide you with the relief you hope for," he offered with a nod of his head. "I am Shinjo Akil." He considered her for a moment before he spoke again. "My apologies, your family name is not one of the ones that I have been taught. Are you one of the Imperial families?" If he honestly didn't know, he was at least going to aim at being flattering about it.

"Iie, I am from the minor clan known as the Centipede but we have worked along side with the Seppun for a few years now." She gave the Shinjo a bow. "It is an honor to meet yoi Shinjo sama."

"Ah, like the Mantis," he nodded, "I met another samurai from a minor clan yesterday. It is quite fascinating how much I am learning, I must say." He blinked a moment, then his face reddened, "Not that I am comparing you to another clan, of course! I am simply contemplating and... well, now I am simply rambling, my apologies."

"No need to apologize. There are a few things that have changed since the Unicorn departed." The Moshi nodded. "The Centipede is a group of mostly female shugenja... it can be compared with your Otaku family. We revere Lady Amaterasu and her blessings." Asakiko explained.

"Ah, how interesting," he nodded sincerely, "So then Moshi-sama is a shugenja?"

"Hai, I am a shugenja. My specialty is air and Lady Amaterasu bless us allowing us to have fire as our affinity as well."

"I see," he wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but he could at least understand the gist of it. "Have you enjoyed your time here thusfar? I know it's only been a day."

"I have... I just need to get used to the food." She smiled. "It's quite different. I am not quite used to the spice."

"I know the feeling," he nodded, "the fair native to hear is so odd to me, I've never had anything like it."

"It is part of a new adventure like exploring a new place." Asakiko smiled. "In my travels I have found that all depends on what the lands provide."

"indeed. I have tasted many interesting foods for that very reason," he nodded.
