''Perhaps but I am not an expert on these things...'' he replied as he took a cup ''...but I have experience with people like these. In troubled times people need things to hang on to and uplift their spirits...may they be a good or humorous story, faith in a higher power, a momento or just time spe...

''If it gets worse, we'll just dance'' he replied with a light smile

''Barley tea?'' he offered

The dragon began by removing his shoes, coat and hat to let them dry, at least become less wet, in the entrance. ''Thank-you, Bayushi-san. I will not hide that something hot is quite welcome with this weather.'' he gratefully took the seat offered ''Togashi Satsuki-san proposed the idea of folding p...

''If Jigoku was unsettled by the kick in the nuts you gave it when you helped rescue Hisomu-no-Kami then it will beg heavens for mercy should they try to touch but one hair on her head''

Replied the dragon, with knuckles white and a stare that could burn a hole in the walls

The dragon still had a lot of houses to visit...but he already visited many...and the rain...the raaain

''Only if I do not put a burden on you, Bayushi-sam''

The sometimes bushi, sometimes diplomat, took time to register what was just said and his face was struggling to remain neutral.

''I see.'' he began ''Thank you. For telling me this but above all thank you for saving her.''

He bowed as low has he could

The dragon bowed his head in return ''I am sorry to hear about your nightmares, Bayushi-san. As for my visit...'' he opened a waterproofed container and pulled several sheets of colored paper, handing them to the scorpion ''This is the paper for the folded cranes. I am passing door to door to distri...

Hearing those words, something tightened around the dragon's cloak.

''Oh, Bayushi-san'' the dragon seemed surprised to find him here ''I hope I did not interrupt your sleep?''

He had known. He had known she was strong even when she did not believe so. He had known she was caring and devoted to her people even when so many doubted her But he did not know just how much she had carried on her shoulders until today.

LA in the fields, meditating

This kind of scene he knew well. The farmer's fields, the cattle...He even believed he saw one of those he had brought here. He was alone here, Shou still at Chouri's house to keep her company. He sat on a stone and closed his eyes, letting the winds around him and the earth below soothe his mind. d...

''The family man''

Zhe reached inside his robe to reveal his finger of Jade, sculpted like a sprout of wheat.

''I have protection''

''You fought it so far...will you be okay? I can brew you some tea, if you'd like''

A light hand was laid on her shoulder, he gave a nod of understanding
