Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

She bowed deeply and said “Miya-sama, I am honored by your presence. I apologize but if you have a message for me, then you may do so here and now. I pray no insult given.”

She was wary and did not want to be parted by those that had aided her.

Hifumi glanced at Sutorenja when the expected proclamation came. This was only the beginning.

She lowered her head to consider everything that was just said... the Monkey noticed that after delivering a letter to Fuboshi he made a beeline for the ronin.

Sutorenja was there but hanging back from the front, Ikeda Hiro nearby and Ishi as well.

Hiro just smirked, now reclaiming his birthright looking resplendent. Freshly shaved and removing the grime of the ronin life.

“Ikeda-sensei, do you have any… way to prove your identity?” Sutorenja asked.

She nodded and said, “It seems my days as Sutorenja are coming to an end. Too many know who I was, or who I will be and if my enemies are willing to act so openly then I cannot be naïve and think that ignoring it will just be fine.” “I apologize to you Tsuruchi Shouji-sama, this is not your fight,” ...

Sutorenja spoke, "We do not recall what has really happened. I am somewhat aware that the day has been repeating and that Ikeda Ishi tried to take my life and we suspect that Otomo Yusuke may be the culprit behind these actions. And you became involved by your connection to Ikeda Ishi and the ronn, ...

Sutorenja nodded though she was obviously still uneasy with the turn of events.

"You have just listed several impossible, incredible things," she said taking a seat to gather her thoughts.

"I have no memory of any of this, how is that so?"

Sutorenja looked back and forth and said, “You both know? How… wait… who all knows?”

She rose and said, "Fuzake-sama, how can I help you?"

She frowned and then said, "That... is quite the tale. I can guess then you know of my previous life then?"

"Okay?" she said curiously and then spent the next few minutes to finish her duties before taking a seat and said, "Okay, tell me."

"I think the festival, right?" she said as she chopped.

"I cannot ask someone to do a task that I have been tasked to do," she said warmly as she chopped.

"I suppose I can listen, if that is all you require of me while I work."

"I suppose, can it wait till I am done?" she asked politely.

The ronin was out back chopping and preparing wood.

"I suppose my burdens are heavier today, do not fault yourself," she said in response.

"Wasn't yesterday just today but different?" she responded.

She smirked and said, "That is a rather silly story, but well told. We shall flap together."

"You are an odd if amusing one, Ikoma -sama. Your boundless optimism is amazing to watch. Still, I am just thinking on the impossible events we have endured," she replied.

"It's a bit daunting."

"You are seeing it, I would hope," she said honestly.

"It is not so glamorous."

"I had no idea, it was not my intention to form anything but learn to be a better samurai, see the Empire from the ground level, and master the blade," she said honestly.

She spoke, "Know what, Ikoma-sama?"

She nodded as she cleaned her weapon.

"I am only Sutorenja," she said after a moment of thought.
