Re: D5 - EA - Childrens' Games and Self-Reflection (Wide-Open)

“I hear there is a search party going out for him… But I do not know much else.” She replied with a morose expression "I heard that he has shown shows of restraint when going on his rampage, as if he was waging his own battle inside his mind," he commented.

Re: [D4MM] Recovery Tea

Naraku was no stranger to being berated by Lady Anjing so he gave the Doji a knowing nod. "Lady Anjing can be rather direct when she thinks there is something that could be done better."

Naraku had arrived earlier to help in any way he could.

He looked at Wu Zhe and nodded.

"Perhaps I should take my leave now," he smiled at Chouri. "I do not wish to impose myself on your hospitality."
