Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

"Good, because I always choose well," she replied.

Daichi thought for a moment "I suppose nothing that needs be addressed now. Just don't go getting yourself killed before the wedding, I doubt I'll find a match as good as you again." He said smiling at her. "I should say the same for you, mister bad boy, if you die I'll go the afterlife to kick you...

"Keep that hunger, you'll need it. Any last questions or decisions you need to make before I sail off into the sunset?" she asked.

"They will sing many songs of our conquests," she agreed looking out at the sea.

"We'll get your sea legs yet, within a year you'll be a regular seaman and won't even miss the land. Might even make you my first mate, we'll see."

"I have to return to the Isles to offload goods, refresh the crew then probably head North for more work," she responded.

"Take what is ours."

Her crew was finishing the last touches before she headed back to the isles, not really involving herself with the political affairs of the Empress. Much of the crew were dragging feet from the previous night but she gave them no slack as she wanted to be on the seas sooner than later. “Daichi-kun, ...

"Does that work for you? I thought I was a free spirit but you might have me beat, Daichi-san," she responded.

"I have plenty of regrets, sinful or otherwise," she said looking at the water. "Maybe you're the Little Teacher reborn, mister live in the moment."

"Simple is good, I can work with that," she said chuckling.

"Not looking for deep or complex just more than what is visible on the surface."

"Well then cheers to more violence," she said chuckling.

"Surely you have other interests?" she added turning to look at him.

"For sure." She nodded.

"And for me, the wise and interesting folks always tend to have their guard up due to my profession. Makes everyone think I mean business when I just mean to enjoy company."

"It's dangerous to get personal even for business," she offered.

She smiled, "Idleness is not my favored kind of relaxation. Creating bonds and sharing experiences with others may seem like my 'Duty' but it also is how I enjoy myself. The side-effect that doing that which I enjoy could potentially lead to better things for my clan is a happy accident more than a...

"Always working the angles, eh Daidoji-san?" she replied with a laugh.

"No time to relax, even at a wedding?"

"I wouldn't mind a trip to the islands myself one day given the opportunity." She said with a nod.

"Any fertility festivals that match this one out on the islands?"

"Probably, but I would not know by experience. What is stopping you taking a trip?" she replied.

“It is exciting, we go where the action is to stir some trouble up. Right now we are giving the Phoenix our attention but next year who knows. Sometimes it’s just moving goods from one place to another, sometimes it’s that but without all the encumbrance of the law. We have special dispensation to h...

“Crab men seem to be the rage this spring.” She said warmly. “My cousins will be most disappointed.” She added. “Crane will be in fashion one day, but Crab suited the needs of my house better,” she said honestly. “I am sure they will survive though, most don’t seem keen to life on a ship. They woul...

"It's our Duty, the Crab don't need more soldiers for their wall?" she said with a smile.

"I didn't get to choose my past husband and he was... okay, but I like the idea of having some control over my fate."

“Well to be honest your mother was the first to respond to my inquiries after some time. I wanted to be attached to a family of worth, nothing noble, not that fancy or worthy but somewhat connected and wanted someone that could fight,” she said honestly. “Your name came up, did some research, as muc...

“Getting your sea legs may take some time, and even the best of us can get shaken. She moved to the side that looked towards the horizon. So I am sure you have questions, might as well have it out now,” she said as she lit up and took a deep drag.

The crew let him onboard and the woman is waiting in a kimono of Mantis green. It shimmered in the light and she said to Daichi as the crew got back to work, “Welcome to my home away from home, is this your first time on a Mantis kobune?”

She smirked and nodded her head, "Funny indeed." She admired a bit of a phallic-shaped snack she had picked up along the way that had been in her fingers. "So is that what brings you here to Crab lands as well? Some food, spirits, and perhaps a funny object to take home?" "Oh... just husband shoppi...

“People love a party, it does not take much to please people when you have good food and spirits to spare,” she replied.

“Plus, dicks are funny to look at.”

"I like people that can deal directly with a thing and don't spend hours beating around the bush. This Mantis ain't got time for that," she said honestly.

"Good folks, strong arms, and they know how to fight. Have you met Fuboshi-dono?"

She gave a soft chuckle in response, "The Crab deserve only the best. I have simply tagged along with the best and brightest to offer a hand... Only one mind you." She made a gesture to her missing arm. “One hand is all you need, two hands is just cheating,” she mused. “Seems the Crab and Crane are...

“Oh… oh, Daidoji-san, as I live and breathe, didn’t realize the Crab were collecting the best and brightest for this affair,” she said in response.

The Mantis took a deep drag and let out smoke in rings as she watched the parade with a smile.
