The Day of Thunder

Yukara approached the man, crouching in front of him, a definitely reassuring and not at all discomforting sight, bloodstained hands, sweat beaded upon her, still wincing as she moved. "You should not blame yourself. It is important for your own soul, that you remain at peace. Do it for your childr...

"Don't blame yourself, there's been a lot of strange things happening lately," Ayako said, trying to reassure him. "Was she having bad dreams? I think that was one of the symptoms." The child in his arms had begun to quiet and possibly passout from the stress. He looked almost numb at this point bu...

The man looked up a few tears on his cheeks the young girl had quieted but was sniffling in his arms he looked to Ayako and shook his head "She....she wasn't herself the past few days. I, I thought it was stress or just worry but....oh I should have known something was more wrong."

Yamagato smiled and nodded at the praise "Well thank ya, I try and do as well as I can." He looked at the painting and thought for a moment "that was....six? Seven years ago I think? Soon after little kimi was born."

He chuckles a little as he finishes prepping the tea "Hai this has been easily the most active festival I've ever seen since coming here. For better and worse. It's been nice seeing all the new faces but the attacks and accidents sour it a bit." He moves to join her at the table. He looks to the scr...

The man closed the door behind her and nodded "Shame about the animal, didn't mean to do it obviously just got spooked by something and, well, I wasn't paying enough attention." His tone slightly guilty. "Oh I forget myself I am Yamagato by the way. It's nice to meet you Tai." He said as he moved to...

If he was unnerved about her appearance he didn't show it. His smile grew a bit at Tai's words and he nodded "Hai of course Tai, it's much appreciated that you would offer. She is currently at the healer in Enrou's care. He feels she'll make a recovery easy enough." He steps aside "but hey you made ...

It took a few moments but soon the door slid open to reveal a man in his late middle years, bearded and slightly above average height with a softness to him that implied nonphysical pursuits. He was looking down at the Crab woman, he had soft smile lines on his cheeks that indicated he usually wore ...

"Yup let's get this little lady home!" Yamagato bent scooping his daughter up with one arm and depositing her on his shoulders "Try the chicken korokke it's damn good tonight." He said with a wide grin and waved goodbye as he followed his wife back into the foggy night.

Her home was modest as the outside would suggest, it opened up to a family sitting room where a bearded man sat doing small tricks for a young girl. The man looked up smiling wide "Ah a visitor! Welcome! I'm Yamagato and this here is Kimi." He motioned to the small girl who had suddenly become shy h...

The man chuckled a bit and put a hand up to his mouth as if to shield his speech from Aoyama like it was just for the samurai to hear though his volume would make such a maneuver fruitless "Don't you mind her she gets a little grumpy on an empty stomach and she works past dinner too often." He winke...

The man heard the approach and turned his smile warm and inviting like a hearth with a crackling fire on a cold winter night. His eyes lit up brighter seeing them "Ahhh my wonderful wife! Ao-chan I see you have made some new friends. Come to try some of the best food in town huh?" He had turned his ...

The affable and well liked husband of the village protector, Yamagato is in many ways her opposite, friendly, welcoming and always a smile on hand for a new friend. He is a devout and doting husband not afraid to show how much he adores his wife no matter how public, and often to her grumbling embar...
