The Day of Thunder

Ohta nodded slowly, leaning back and trying to look at the sky. She let out a sigh as she realized she couldn't really see it thanks to the mix of the mist and steam from the water. "Home... yeah, I suppose it will be. Though I can't say I have anyone waiting for me per say. I will of course take th...

"Jiyo-sama did not remember my mother, though they would be about the same age I suppose... To my knowledge, the Hikaru did have a good bit of territory, so perhaps not so surprising. As to Reiko-dono... we have met, hai. But I could not say I know her, nor have spoken to her more than a few sentenc...

"Then be safe, and if I have granted you any favour this day I will call upon your bow. When next we meet you can call me 'Anjing', it will narrow it down somewhat given how old us daimyo are getting. She nods back as Yumi bows her own head. Meanwhile, Ohta lets her sensei rest a bit and wanders th...

"Hai, it can certainly be surprisingly cold in some of those mountain valleys up north. Though I rarely went up that way, since the Crab were rarely welcoming..." A small shrug, placing the last piece of cloth in place before stepping back. "Is that comfortable enough for you then, Ryoshun-san? Not ...

Ohta simply nodded, closed the box tight, and went to help, saying nothing about it. Instead, she talked about what she was interested in. "What are Bat lands like? I've not visited really anything in that direction. Only Dragon and Lion lands, until these travels. Bat lands have always felt as far ...

"Born in. My mother, Reiko Subaru, was once Subaru of the Isawa tribe. She had a gift for spiritual matters at a young age, and she followed Reiko-dono to the Spider. My other mother had been born into the Hikaru, though she's never been much for talking about back then. Regardless, when they got ma...

Ohta politely ignored the little catch of things, continuing to pack her stuff. "Lately? The madness has spared no place, unfortunately. And the generation older than me remembers the darker times. Then again, I can only speak for the Spider really; For a Clan looking for dark things... well, Matsu'...

"Those who get injured, especially in battles, are often a mess. It is what it is. Those who think battle a clean, elegant affair have never worked as a healer before, certainly." The smaller cuts and scars were checked to make sure they weren't infected or in danger or opening, but only the worst g...

"It's one of the few advantages of being senior and you know it." Reo offers a pretend huff. "Why are you wasting your time with this old relic?" "Just waiting, mostly. I suspect there will be some sort of announcement or welcome. It beats just looking at the plants but not being able to take sampl...

Ohta nodded and took one thing from her kit which appeared to be a small sharp knife. Starting with that, she cut the bandages away rather than untying them. "This is always a cleaner option; If you untie them, you have to unwrap them over and over, and they tend to stick together because of the blo...

Don't you want to come with us?

Ohta? no. She is an observer and a tester, not a participant. At least not in potentially dangerous things.

Hey we need someone to take notes

Are you having someone take Ohta's job?

"Ah, the wolf. I had heard talk of that. Well, regardless of how that came about, they are real animal attack wounds, certainly." Ohta frowned but stopped looking, satisfied with what was needed and what she could do... or not do, "Well, I can dress and rewrap the wounds, looks like they were mostly...

Reo waves to his student

Noticing, Ohta walks over and gives a bow.

"Sitting on the job, are we sensei?"

Her tone is playful, but certainly short of mocking in any way; She'd known Reo long enough to know what was likely too far or not.

"What, accompanying you isn't enough reward in and of itself?"

Ohta successfully held back a laugh of her own at that.

"You did not bring them here with you I take it?"

Ohta slips down again, the water high as usual on her thanks to her short stature.

"Nicer? Hm... my own were horrid. Loved ones melting and cries of hatred. I'm almost surprised I slept as well as I did. I suppose I was just tired after not sleeping the night before. ...maybe it WAS smacking the dummy. I shot mine with an arrow and it's head came clear off and embedded into a fenc...

Ohta walked up to take a closer look. She would try to be polite, but... it wasn't her strong suit. Instead she looked closely, "Wounds, many of them. Both inside and out. And not from some fall or slip." She looked up into Yukara's eyes, "The dreams themselves, they did not PHYSICALLY harm you, did...

"Ah, that sort. Makes sense to me. I've met plenty of followers of Lady Matsu who think that way too. I will admit, it's not wrong certainly... What have you been up to since we last met though? Did you succeed in driving away your inner demons yesterday at the festivities?"

Ohta looked up and even got a small smile when she saw who it was, sitting up and politely inclining her head, "Jiyo-sama, good morning. I am well, though I was not expecting such a drastic cool off. All the more reason to seek something warm I suppose. Or do you not mind the chill so much perhaps?"
