Ram Jam's appearance outside the tent made the woman go quiet, unsure what to say in regards to his comment. Finally she takes a calm and neutral tone that was a blatant lie to her inner turmoil. But this was a representative to the warlord - he deserved that courtesy, at least.
"We did as was needed. Indeed, it went better than it could have. No casualties for us and a few for them."

"Right, I was about to go ask Lord Nishida if I should go on another recruiting mission, maybe scout out some new locations." Ram Jam waves and starts to walk toward the tower.

Age: 23
Physical Description: As most women of Katashima are, Kasumi is not terribly tall, and stands at an unimpressive 5'4". She has skin that is considered of average coloration for her people, slightly darker than that of non-Katashimans, and is of a slender build, with delicate features. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and are brown, although the exact hue changes with her emotions, ranging from dark to light and often flecked or streaked with gold; her hair, though often kept up and out of her way, falls to just past her shoulders, and is a sleek, glossy black. Though she appears weak and not at all like one would expect a combatant to be, she is muscular enough to do her job, and do it well.
----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Kasumi wears an outfit that is both comfortable and easy to move in. This consists of a sleeveless, midriff-baring black shirt that gapes open at the sides, revealing the bandages wound around her bosom, on her top half; around her neck rests a loose drape of black cloth that can be pulled up to obscure the lower portion of her face. On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Kasumi fell silent as Ram Jam poked his head in, watching the man with an impassive gaze. Once he departed, she looked at Ketsueki again.
"I will hold off on speaking to Shintaro until you have made your decision. But we do not have much time. Please think it over and let me know what you choose to do." She was leaving, there could be no doubt of that. She stuck close to Jou, insistently (but gently) pulling his hand over so that she could examine the wound.

Jou nods at the man, but doesn't speak. He was normally affable and easy going after a job, not after this job. Too much had gone wrong. Sure by many standards it had been a success. Aspects of it would normally even give him some hope. However, his injury, Kasumi's worry, and his own belief that Nishida wouldn't do what needed to be done made him worry. Worry and pain closed his mouth. He let's Kasumi take his hand. He slowly relaxes the fingers that were clenched in a tight fist around the bandage. It is a wound that looks worse than it is. The arrow had gone clean through, but had skipped off the bone. He was very lucky, he'd only lose some mobility in his left hand.

Ketsueki felt a tightness in her chest as a stone dropped into her stomach - what was she supposed to do?
"... I'm holding all my faith in Nishida-san's venture. It isn't even just about myself - how can I walk away from this?" she pleads, sounding very much distressed in the prospect of having to make this decision. It's here her tone betrays her concern and the bit of fear that was creeping up her spine. Her hand comes up to tug down the cloth over her face, revealing it for once and her youth - just barely an adult. Her gaze switches between the pair of shinobi, as if expecting them to have the answer to her dilemma.

Kasumi had unwound the bandage and revealed the wound, and by the time Ketsueki spoke, she'd produced a small pot of salve and was smearing it carefully upon the stitched-up arrow wound in Jou's hand. She glanced briefly up from this task as the other girl spoke, her gaze locking with Ketsueki's, then looked back to what she was doing as she replied.
"If you feel you cannot, then I will not try to make you. All I can do is attempt to get you to see the truth - that Shintaro is going to get you killed, because he cares more about the people of some village than he does about his own troops. It would be easy for us to take the town and provide him his victory if we burned it to the ground, but instead, he would see all three of us - and how many other of the rest of his troops it would take - dead just to protect some villagers. This is not a battle we can win, Akiyama-san. But if you wish to stay, then so be it. Jou and I are leaving, to seek a peaceful life somewhere far from this would-be warlord's mad schemes. I wish you luck." After applying the salve to both sides of the wound and applying a fresh bandage, she released Jou's hand and stood, the cold gleam of her eyes and the firm set of her jaw a sure sign that she was about to go tell Shintaro her decision.

Jou remained still as Kasumi tended his wound. His eyes turn to Ketsueki and regards the woman silently for a moment. He didn't think he was much older than her, but a few years can often be a big difference. He had three masters in his time, not including Nishida. He wasn't like Kasumi who had been part of a proud family of shinobi. He had been a mercenary since he was fourteen years old. He was mostly self taught, with the occasional teachers to improve his skills. In his time he had served two types of men.
"Shinobi can be used one of two ways Akiyama-san. As a tool to defend or a weapon to attack. A warlord, one who wishes to conquer should use us as a weapon. Defense requires stability, some of the best men I know have been the kind to use shinobi to defend. Nishida-sama wishes to be a conqueror, but he strikes me as the kind to use his shinobi to defend. He is trying to use us as a weapon, but he is tying our hands. He is keeping us sheathed. A sheathed weapon is next to worthless in a fight. It can't be used to hurt your enemy, it can't be used to defend your people. Your only hope is that the person wielding it will take off the sheath before it's too late. That or since you aren't a simple dagger, you walk away."

The man's words were daggers in her heart, and she couldn't refrain from bringing her hand up to rub at her chest - almost as if to alleviate the pain from her twisting heart. Kasumi was strong in her own words, and this made the war in her head all the more complicated.
"... you sound just like my father," she murmurs. She goes quiet for a time, unsure what to say - she was truly torn. And she hardly knew these two to put any solid faith in them... then again, she had practically done the same by following the warlord. Treating this pair differently wasn't fair.
"... you say you seek a peaceful life elsewhere. I'm seeking the same thing through the end of this warpath... I am no fool - I see only a grave to be earned here rather than the promise on the horizon," she murmurs, bringing her eyes down and fidgeting once again - watching her hands. "But where could I find such a place? Please understand, this... this isn't about me. My training nearly failed me in the field last night - I know my skills are sub par and little in comparison to the two of you. I've shamed my legacy...
"But this venture isn't about finding a place for me. It's for my mother and father... after we fled Katashima, we've struggled to try and find a new life - and for everything they've done for me, they deserve a place to settle down and call home. To make what they will of their years... and not shoved into a foreign city," she adds with a bitterness in her tone. "That's what this was supposed to be... a chance to find them that place at the end of this."
Her gaze comes up but she is still unable to look either of them in the eye. "But I can't go back and tell them I failed..."

Kasumi paused before exiting the tent, looking down at Ketsueki as the girl spoke. Memories of her own parents, now dead, filled Kasumi's mind. They wouldn't want this for her. They wouldn't want her to throw her life away on the plots of a man who would be a conqueror. That was part of why she was leaving. After mulling over her thoughts for a few moments, she spoke again.
"There is such a place out there. I do not know where, but I can feel it." Fingertips tapped to her chest, and then again to her stomach, indicating where the feeling originated. "A shinobi must always trust their instincts. I ignored mine when they said following Shintaro would be folly. I now seek to rectify that oversight by finding my destiny elsewhere. If you come with us, Ketsueki, I truly believe that we will find a place to belong." She reached her hand out to the girl.
"Will you trust us?"

... they were asking her trust and for her company, in their search for a place to call home. By that extension, for that of her remaining family. Suddenly... she felt a bit cold. Mostly numb. Disbelief settled in the oddest ways sometimes. Perhaps is was the fear of the unknown beyond her answer.
Her hands lifts, hesitating for only a moment, before she would carefully clasp hers with that of Kasumi's that was extended towards her. It was with their connection that Ketsueki could finally stand to look the woman in the eye, and it was all laid bare in her gaze - a bit of relief. Overwhelming uncertainty, spilling into fear. A touch of desperation. And a little hope.
"... if... you will have me in your company," she murmurs quietly. "If I can find a place in this new journey, for them... I'll be forever in your debt."

The rarest of expressions (when not alone with Jou) flickered across Kasumi's face as Ketsueki took her hand - a smile. She gently squeezed the other kunoichi's hand, then let her go as she nodded firmly, before turning to grab Jou by the arm and haul him to his feet.
"Thank you for trusting us. Come, let us speak to Nishida." Leading the other two out of the tent, she moved over to where Shintaro was waiting, her features once again back in their usual blank mask. She approached the 'warlord', waiting for him to acknowledge their presence so that she could speak. How she'd ended up as their spokesperson, she didn't know. Perhaps because Jou had only joined due to her, and as for Ketsueki.. she wasn't certain. But it didn't really matter, she supposed. The result was all that mattered.
"Nishida-san, we have come to a decision."

Dimitri awaited the shinobi within Nishida's command tent. Should the warlord have taken his starting advice, he would be here as well in order to plan out what is to occur next. He was fully equipped in his armor with his halberd sheathed. Thoughts running through his mind on what could have possibly occurred within the village. Any answers to his questions would have to come from the shinobi, he only hoped they were agreeable answers.

Shintaro had just finished talking with Ram Jam and Ming Lee. Dimitri was here as well as they awaited the shinobi. "Welcome you three, how are your injuries?"
The Warlord cared for the well being of his followers, he wanted them to be healthy and ready. "I have also come up with a pair of decisions. I would like your to give your report first once more so we can survey the options. Engaging in a battle would be too taxing on our forces, we need more time to train. If what you say about a local lord is true, we must depart from the watchtower and head to our next destination. If an army of militia comes up the hill to attack us, we may be at a disadvantage, and they know of our presence now. If we do leave, I know exactly where we are going to go, there is a castle that Salam told me of, it would be further away from here and we could use it to bide our time and become stronger, having a castle would also give us more space than this tower does, and with better defendability. Even if they don't come here to attack us, I still believe we should withdraw, after speaking with everyone."
This may seem like a shock to the Shinobi, because when they had last left him, he was talking about attacking, but now he changed his position. "What's your say on this?"

Kasumi firmed her jaw. So, he was planning a strategic retreat to a safer, more defensible location, where he hoped to.. what? Build up his forces? It didn't matter. She spoke in clipped tones, laying out their report once more.
"We infiltrated the town with ease, but we were not in there long before we realized that the bandits - although it seems they are much more than that, in light of what we learned - had enchantments set around the village that alerted them to our presence. We were able to set one of their storehouses on fire and burn some of their supplies, and we managed to escape. Barely. They are holding the women and children separate from the men, and they are extremely well-stocked in both food and weapons, and they are very well-organized, as well as having at least one individual with strong magical capabilities. We believe they are being led by someone, possibly a lord of some sort. It is our belief that the town cannot be taken without destroying it, which we know is not the.. ideal solution, in your opinion." She hesitated for a moment, then forged ahead.
"But we have come to the decision that this war is not our place. We have spent a lifetime fighting for other people, and now we wish to live for ourselves. We are leaving." Inclining her upper body in a quick bow, she then straightened and turned away. Assuming no one tried to stop her, Kasumi would return to the tent she shared with Jou and begin to pack her meager belongings. That had been easier than she thought it would be, and there was a weight off her shoulders.

Shintaro listens to the report and nods, when she said they were leaving, Shintaro had a look of disappointment. "That's too bad you have to go, but as I said when we began, I will not force you to stay. Your service to me has been valuable and I wish you safe travels. Know that you will be welcome in my lands in the future if you ever find yourself in them again."
Shin bows to the Shinobi as they leave. "We shall go forward with our plan to withdraw. Ram Jam, send out my orders, we're packing up. Salam suggested this place first, but I believe the Castle would better suit our beginnings. We will return here later."
Orders went throughout the camp to pack up and empty the camp.

Jou looked at the man still working his injured hand. He had to strike a delicate balance with it. If he exercised too much he'd tear the stitching, not enough and he'd lose more mobility in it than he'd like. At Ram Jam's question he nods his head.
"I know how to set the traps. Though this is not an ideal place for it. I can do one last service for Nishida-Sama before departing. What do you have in mind?"

"Well since we're leaving the watchtower and the camp, it'll be empty. Shintaro doesn't want anyone taking the tower while we're gone, so he wants the place booby trapped until we come back to claim it." Ram explains the situation, he's not really sure what sort of traps they could do and was open to what Jou felt was best.

Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Kasumi listened to the conversation, then turned to look at Jou, speaking quietly.
"Can you set the traps with your hand the way it is? If not, I will come and assist you to hasten the process." Anything to get out of here faster.

Jou crosses his arms and shakes his head at Ram Jam. Looking at the tower he says simply.
"There are no traps we could set that would do that. Not with the time restraints we have. Trap making is an odd thing. You can spend years creating clever traps to keep people out of something. But no matter how clever you are someone with the right skill and determination can still dismantle what you built in a few days. However, a trap laid to catch an army can often be set up in a few hours and be devastating."
Jou turns back to Ram Jam and shrugs.
"If you ask me to make a trap to keep the tower empty for future use, I tell you now it can't be done. If the bandits want the tower badly enough they will have it. However, if you want a trap that might devastate part of the bandits force. That I can do, just don't expect the tower to survive the experience."
Jou shrugs and let's Ram Jam contemplate the choices. He turns to Kasumi and smiles at her.
"A hand would be appreciated."
