The Day of Thunder

Kenji took a slow sip of his whiskey thinking over what Sora said for a few moments before speaking. "Well, maybe you're here to hit people over the head with a stick, as the saying goes. Lady Makime is a fine commander, but it's a commander's job to give orders not to instill discipline. So likely ...

"There might be some here that could answer some questions you may have about that, Lady Makime for instance." She could be a bit hard to approach though. "And I think I've seen a few other older individuals about camp, it could be one of them could point out which are the older buildings, and which...

"Oh, I'm sure monks would argue something along the line that there is no one future is destined, but its people that are, and it's up to them to fulfil that destiny not up to the destiny to fulfill itself." It sounded like a bit of nonsense to him, but he'd listened to a monk more than once in his ...

"What's the point of the Empire if we don't fight to defend it? Or what's the point of an Empire if there is no one alive in it to defend?" Kenji asked, they probably had different answers, but did that really even matter. "Either way you don't have to worry about me Jiyo-san. I'm here to do my duty...

*looks at Sora's nightmare roll*

I see the Shochu worked.

Perhaps it was the drinks he had earlier that night, perhaps it was because he was a Lion and a Lion Samurai truly knew no fear. Either way as the nightmares descended upon Kenji he was able to push them away. They had no sway on his rest this night, and he woke in the morning truly refreshed. Day t...

"If, you're going to drink it might as well be something worth a damn." Kenji said with a smirk. "Nothing against the weaker stuff but that's for fancy parties and those that attend them. I'm a soldier, so I drink like one." He finished making sure the jug of liquor was in easy reach of both of them...

"A lot of people around here are struggling to get some sleep, so can't exactly say I blame you." Kenji offered lifting his cup too his lips and taking a sip. "I figured a drink or two wouldn't do any harm in helping find a good night's rest myself." "You're right about the keeping us sharp part tho...

Kenji heard the approach and turned his eyes in the direction of it a moment later. Seeing it was the old man that liked to talk about babies he offered a polite nod of greeting. "Evening." He offered easily.

"On watch duty this evening?"

You add in the singing, and I might start to think you're interested in courting me too.

Hey!

I'm not the one making pacts with women when I'm already promised to another!

One from me

Day 2 Late evening.

And this is how the old codgers got to knocking boots late at night.

Kenji found himself spending an increasing large amount of time around the Lion part of the Camp, not that such was a bad thing, as the Dragon girl had pointed out earlier in the day someone needed to keep an eye on the camp. Not that such was what Kenji was doing, he was instead relaxing on the log...

"Yeah." He admitted as he finished cooking the porridge and started to spoon into a bowl for Hoto-Hori. "Otherwise, I'd have never slept in this late." The young lion frowned. "Wasn't exactly the best sleep I ever had either when i got to it."

Kenji was probably missing the reasoning behind why Shinsei was a donkey, nevertheless he smiled along with his two elders. If Anjing agreed she likely had good reason for it, at the very least. "Ah, that's not good, and I must admit I had some trouble getting to sleep myself." His dreams had not be...

I technically have medicine as a skill. Though if you need me to use it it's obviously an emergency. I'll ponder taking a guard shift too. I'm wondering how much things will interact with sleep events though.

"The Donkey?" Kenji asked raising an eyebrow as he continued to stir at the porridge it would still take a bit before it was ready. He had been taking note of the conversation but not really taken part until now. "And it's going to be trouble if people are going mental overnight." He frowned for a m...

We're Going to need Satsuki to light a lot of fires.

I'll allow it.
