Reo feels an extra pep in his step. It must be from showing off to the young ones.

"It's..." Reo trails off, breath catching in his throat. "It's marvelous." The sheer number and variety of plants was impressive, never mind the aesthetics that Reo would not have cared about when tending to his own. "You manage all of these yourself?" Reo feels like a small child again as he stoops...

"That's...a possibility that I hadn't seen. He said "Tribe of Isawa" and I assumed that meant Spider lands. And he spoke of not speaking to the kami, nor they regarding him. Name magic would fulfill some of those requirements. This...this might be how to account for the discrepancies." Reo furrow hi...

Reo pours out the tea and pulls himself up. "To the garden then?"

Reo pauses for a beat. "What I knew before I arrived here was that this village had an impressive survival rate over this last winter. That alone was worth a visit. However, he spoke of a personal tragedy regarding a wife and children...as a member of the Isawa. The last of them were integrated with...

Reo nods. "Twenty-five years ago, the creatures of the Shadowlands recoiled to the touch to jade. It had the ability to bypass the spiritual defenses that protected them from other weapons. Posion can work on them, but those who are affected have constitutions that can overcome it. Which means that ...

Reo beams. "See, you get it!" Reo bends down to peer at the vial. "We face an opponent who is constantly shifting. Running through endless permutations to see what results it gains. The Empire goes out to fight this horror just as it did before. Perhaps they will win. Perhaps not. But every edge we ...

Reo can't resist breaking out in a grin. "Excellent. It seemed like an logical possibility, but it does not do to make assumptions."

Reo looks at the vial. "Some people would have been content to see a curse. But you are actively experimenting with it. I have to say that I am impressed."

"No. But it is for the Seekers. Unless you prefer that I ask about how your blood is literally poison in front of the others." Reo pauses. "At least, blood is what we know about. There are many possibilities that I haven't accounted for yet."

"You know, the more I see of you the more I wish that my people had a chance to recruit you instead." Reo isn't particularly subtle, but the Crab had done him a favor by putting their tent away from everyone else, and Naraku wasn't exactly close to any of them . "I have been intending to do somethin...

"Take it from one who has to sift a lot of what the Libraries are taking in, the distinction between what actually happened and the stories that are told is pretty immense. Drives poor Kinyoubi batty..." She sighed and nodded. "I ... recall. With a good story, "I know academically that it was the c...

Ouch this was a bad one for me.

Reo heads to the hearth and sits, filling a pot with herbs and water from his skin.

"I was planning to compare notes on treatment plans like we discussed." Reo looks around. "And a crowd grew. You're a popular man Enrou-san. There are people who want to learn from you."

"Ha!" Reo snorts. "We seem to have that Northern Alliance that Susumu keeps going on about right here." He motions toward the new arrival.

snip "You should see what my wife can do" Reo places the bow back on the counter and pockets the coin. He take his prizes and tosses them to the small children before he looks at the other two. snip -snip- Reo smiles at Ohta. "Go. Have fun. I won't wait up." He limps off to go back to the stalls. I...

snip snip snip "Ha! I got you to call me "sensei" instead of "sama!" "Definitely much bigger bets." Akutou turns to the other, touches his hat-brim, says "Damned fine shot, sir." With a nod, he adds "Otomo Akutou." "Hisomu Reo. And one of Ohta's teachers, if you haven't guessed." Reo offers a smile...

-snip- -snip- snip "You're making friends Ohta-chan?" Reo drops in, seeing the group. He picks up one of the toy bows and checks the draw weight. "I'll be honest, I am bit surprised to see so many archers. I had thought the art was losing steam." Reo lines up a shot, trying to one up the Akodo. Mar...
