Sora chuckled.

"They must be a good friend, to deserve such devotion," she responded warmly.

Ai was unsure of how to reply to that so she just nodded. Either it was a term of endearment or this was a very complicated situationship.

She had an inkling of who they were suggesting at least.

"In the worst way."
Ukyou sighed. "He's such a pain. But what are friends for, but to pull your rear end out of the fire when you need it?" He shrugs with a half smile.

He looked to Ai and Wu. "Did whispers of Thunder call the two of you, or did you have a different reason?"

He looked to Ai and Wu. "Did whispers of Thunder call the two of you, or did you have a different reason?"
Ai gave this question some thought and then said with confidence, “My honored father spoke to me of this, the matter of the wheel the battle between good and evil and those who would play a pivotal role he used the term Thunder.”

“It was a story he told to us many times when growing up.” She affected deeper voice trying to add a masculine quality to it and said, “Father swears this tale is true, he was there on the way to the forsaken pit of Hell, when a creature masking itself as the silly charlatan tried to murder a young girl of the Spider clan, claiming she was a Thunder or some such.”

She continued her tale, “But your Father was two times too quick, and struck the creature down, so quick was his blade. Devil Eyed Sora and others were present when we learned of this Thunder matter… those destined to save us all from Evil. Surely my children were destined to play such a role, for thou are two times blessed.”

She paused and regained her composure and spoke in her normal voice, “I never gave it much thought really but I feel now the pull of the Heavens, and I feel I need to be here, perhaps if only to witness those that will play this role.”

In truth she felt in her heart, she felt the flash of heat and the Thunder ripping through her soul. But to say as much would be far too presumptuous. Instead she preened with humility and a smile.

Zhe was not sure if the talk of thunder was a reference to something or a metaphor. He knew of the events of Hisomu's rescue but Ai's recount of the events did not seem to match.

Sora's tone was dry.

"The thing got away, actually. We were all pretty pissed off about that. But he's right that it called Matsu a Thunder and tried to get at her. We complicated its life a bit- I stomped down what felt like half the damn tents in the camp trying to flush it out, but Old Man Yamadono did most of the hitting."

He paused. Grinned at Zhe.

"Wu-sama was most forgiving about my sandal-prints all over his tent."

Ukyou looked amused. "That's a fact, and no doubt. We've had five years of gathering. Now we'll either have a storm or see the clouds dissipate into a clear new day under the gaze of Doji-sama's inimitable grandmother."

"At least the original. These last few years have shown its dreams to be at least as stubborn." He rubbed his chin. "It's different than either realm on its own. Makes the Nezumi term for the realm and its effects even more appropriate."

“We have a great deal of work ahead, our dreams are under assault, our people corrupted,” she said grimly.

“This storm will not just go away on it’s own, the Wheel demands an accounting before it can turn.”

''Have you people eaten lunch yet? The village is not far but this is not a bad place or time to break bread if there is need.'' Zhe piped in

Seeing how the impromptu group intended on travelling towards the same destination but were now taking a pause to discuss destiny and such

Ai turned her gaze to the ranking samurai, in this case Jiyo Sora, decorum and etiquette mattered in her world.

When in doubt pass the koku to the Imperial.

Ukyou's head actually perks up and he tilts it, eyes sharp and interested. "Cheese? Cheese? I like cheese. That's a wonderful idea, Wu-sama."
