The Day of Thunder

"Things have not been well in the Earth for a long time, you are correct," she says, though her thought lingers on Shang following her words. Having to make sure she heard what she believes she did. Regarding Shang as of to root her truth out of her visage. "You speak with some certainty that these ...

Yumi remains quiet for longer than maybe was pleasantly comfortable. Yet, she would not leave her company alone in the conversation for so long as to leave her outright uncomfortable. When she returns she sighs, nodding slowly. "Would it be that I was looking at it with fewer questions on my mind I ...

Sleeping within her tent underneath the stars, Yumi was most comfortable alone. Yet the last few nights have strained that significantly and tonight would appear to be no different. Waking to the soft sound of something shifting around her the woman's eyes snap open. That sound was all there was, ou...

"You are a woman of many interests. Perhaps it is not air that lifts you, but that which binds," she comments idly, her eyes shifting away in some scattered thought. Lingering, she watches their surroundings. Looking deeper into that pervasive fog for something or perhaps simply to lose herself a mo...

Yumi couldn't bear but to laugh lightly when Shang spoke on the quality of predator meat, though she did try to stifle it. Shaking her head in leading to her response, "I do not believe it is the same wolf. Yet, I did hunt mine for a similar purpose. I met another earlier who spoke of this event, an...

"I did not come here by road, but by the forest," she says, and indicates her path that lead her here but deflates at the recollection of the surrounding fog. Pausing to recover from her blinder she finds her footing again soon enough. "I had been tracking a lone wolf for some time for a village to ...

"My father told me there are those who seem to give credit to Heaven for everything. That some things can, and would exist without it," she says, gazing over the jade before her in that thought. Shrugging she offers, "But I cannot say what the truth is. Perhaps it is a mixture of Lady Suns tears and...

Yumi found herself hearing very distinctly the suggestion that she could be used for Shang's work. There was not much she understood about how that would feel, or what it might mean, but she suddenly felt very warm underneath her freshly cleaned attire all the same. What armor she wore finds itself ...

I suspect you still wear it like a charm to ward you?" she asks, pulling string from among her things and setting the stone in her lap. Working the string through her fingers she stretches it out to get a clear working of the material. "Had you not claimed it as a daughter of the realm of Heaven I w...

"Your Flame serves you and me, friend," she says, and offers her hand to accept the generous gift. Looking at it with some intent, thoughtful in her way. "Strange, this looks as this stone once did. Perhaps they share a similar source," she ponders it for a moment and looks to the man. "What is this...

"Then I will continue to seek this village for more answers. Thank you for the guidance of my Flame," she says, and offers a slight dip of her head towards him. Reaching up she digs out her necklace to reveal the dreamstone hanging from her neck, "My father gave me this years ago to defend me agains...

"By trade? I suppose I have heard rumors of such a thing, but I had thought it a joke," she says, her gaze drifts to the space between them in thought. Shaking her head slightly she offers a sheepish smile in turn, "I do not mean to insult. Suppose I find it odd that Air's spirit might be captured i...

Yumi's focus turns toward the stone hanging at her neck. Brushing it again in that moment of thoughtful remembrance but a spark ignites in her chest that pulls her away from any such melancholy. Tucking the stone away beneath her clothing she focuses her energy toward the man before her. Indicating ...

Yumi followed the trail left by Shang's indication. Marking it best as she might before refocusing on the woman before her. "Earth embrace you Shang of the Saru, I am Yumi." All that she offered gave rise to many questions, some of greater value than others. Yet, despite her awareness of their diffe...

"Mine was a natural beast," she offers, her bow lowering to her side in a more restful stance. Though she keeps her eye on this stranger all the same. A calming breath breaks the tension in her muscles. Enough so that her mind can wander, and her free hand leaves her arrows side to grasp the necklac...

There was a fever for more cowbell but she dared not voice it, perhaps some dark urge from Yume-Jigoku… no good can come from more cowbell even if it would be so pleasing. She enjoyed the vibe and then noticed the stranger, another ronin or tribal? She gave greetings, “Good evening, do enjoy the be...

"I do not follow the ways of your lords from elsewhere- but I know no other side than they and that of man," she says, but keeps her bow ready yet. A calming breath. "My hunt was for a lone wolf, a predator that some locals more north of here complained of slaughtering their working animals. Even ki...

"Looking for the village," she says, her voice calming slowly but the edge to her showing clearly. Watching her breathing she takes a moment to relax. "Afternoon. Waters grace does not appear to be with me today. Might you be from the village here?" she asks, but even she already doesn't believe tha...

Having ate more than her fill, she found a place to sit and started playing a song she learned in the Crab lands. She was thankful for Batou's cowbell accompaniment.

Unfamiliar man-altered terrain meant she was getting close but once she'd gotten to the edge the fog only seemed to get deeper. With her best wits about her she made her way toward the village that she could sometimes best make out in the distance. At least, that is what she hopes she is seeing pop ...
