Kiara watched Nakatani lead the others into the garden. She wondered if Nakatani had recognized her. When they had exited, leaving Kiara alone, she saw Tika being led out of the garden. Since Tika was the only one she recognized and knew, she followed at a distance. She would enter the dojo to watch, unless she was told to get out.

After her spar with Setoku, Tika returned to the courtyard, at a lack of instructions on where to go or what to do. As such, she kept herself visible as she perused the walkways, keeping to the most open plazas as she began to slowly explore the external layout of the mansion...

Physical Description: A humble, yet more rugged looking Samurai of the Hizashi Samurai, Shinamori Setoku stands at 6' evenly. He has waist length jet black hair, pulled into a ponytail, with brownish, almost Amber eyes, and is commonly swathed with a purple haori over his Black Hakama, red obi, and baggy, loose fitting white Kimono. He also sports metal plated Geta Sandals.
Clothes and Equipment: A wakizashi in a yellow saya (scabbard), wrapped with a yellow Katatemaki ito (Battle Wrap) around the tsuka (hilt.) While the Kojiri (End of the scabbard) had a black bit of burned metal. The Tsuba (Guard) was an odd circular symbol of the Shibata clan. And the weapon's Tsuka is usually seen sticking out of his kimono, opposite his heart. A Katana with a red saya with a red katatemaki ito around the hilt is normally hanging tachi style (Edge facing the ground) from his obi.

Setoku as well traveled to the courtyards, but for different reasons. He didn't know where else to go. He visibly frowned a moment, before hiking his no-dachi onto his shoulders, and casually find a wall to lean against, and blend in best as possible with a long sword.

Kiara walked out of the dojo without ever saying a word inside. She never got there in time to see Tika fight Setoku. Just the end. It looked like Setoku got hit pretty hard. Kiara passed him and felt like she would be ignoring him not to say something.
"Um Are you okay, mister?"

Setoku had just settled in, a small smile on his face, no-dachi next to him, and eyes closed. He'd expected to not be seen, but at the sound of "Are you okay, mister?", his eyelids slowly opened. He didn't respond right away, instead, his eyes took the girl in a moment, before unfocusing once more.
"I am quite alright, thank you for the concern. She was quite the girl, though. But I am sure you saw, you were there, no?"

"The end, huh? You missed a beautiful strike on her part... And my school? Well, that depends... You could say it was Ninten-Ichi-Ryu, Kage-ryu, or grupo capoeria, a style from a far away land. Depends on the weapon... Or you could call it a unique kendo mix... Why do you ask?"
Though there was some truth in his words, he was naturally hiding his only mastered style - Like in the spar, for reasons unclear.
"I am sure you have seen some of what I did before from other fighters."

"Because of your family? Must be noble, forgive my dismissive nature then, my lady"
Setoku finally looked back to the girl, and gave her a smile, bowing his head slightly.
"He seems to be taking on alot, if I may so... Even a ronin of my stature was accepted easily... Curious as to his final goal."

Shape: Rounded, more-so than usual
Hair:

Style: When working, it would be pulled back into a long ponytail - waist length - with two locks of hair barely to her chin left out in front of her ears. The pony tail would be held up with a piece of jade-coloured ribbon.
Clothes and Equipment: Clothing: Typically seen in a kimono that was mostly a plum purple that faded to a beautiful magenta diagonally from waist to bottom. In the transition would be a multitude of flowers varying in sizes, each one either a pale blue, lavender, or a powder pink. The obi around her waist would be a pale yellow obi, the obi-jime would be golden, and the obi-age a faint pink. She preferred to wear tabi and zori on her feet.
Accessories: Her favorite accessory would be a black and gold fan that she would always tucked in either her obi or her sleeve, whichever was most convenient. On rare occasions, the ribbon that tied her hair into a ponytail would be pulled out and worn as a headband, tied into a delicate bow on the left side of her head.

Dressed in a delicate plum and magenta kimono with a clashing, pale yellow obi tightly wound around her dancer-like body, would be a young woman slowly picking her way through the courts and pathways. Cradled in one arm would be a large book, it's contents unknown to anyone but herself. Resting on top of the monstrosity would be a much smaller book. Her dark eyes moved across the courtyard, looking for a suitable studying spot while her free hand seemed to absentmindedly touch two small items tucked carefully into the obi - a small, folded fan and what looked to be a piece of bamboo. If and when she passed a new soul, she would take a moment to bow respectfully and would only make a verbal greeting if they were to catch her eye. Never the less, a small smile of serene contemplation constantly brightened her face. Today was a day of calm, it seemed.

Tika was out in a garden when Anzen approached her, casually exploring the layout of the Hizashi compound, which seemed somewhat confusing to the uninitiated. She occupied the quietest of gardens at the moment, a place Anzen could easily study her material. She regarded her with a bow, making sure to decline the depth of her bow to be just slightly lower than Anzen's, as she still felt very much like a guest in the great lord's mansion.

As Anzen straightened from her bow, her smile grew friendlier. Taking a second to adjust her books and push a fallen lock of midnight black hair behind, she would finally greet the girl verbally. "Kon'nichiwa. I do apologize if I am intruding into the calm of your morning.." Anzen would nod slightly to the books in her arm. "I just had some research to do and thought it would be best to learn in a breath of fresh air."

"Oh.. I am just a recent visitor," she said softly, seeming intent on letting Anzen know that this was her turf. She operated under the assumption that anyone she met had more business being wherever they were than she was. "I only just tested into Lord Genji's service..."
Feeling self-conscious, she allows herself to adjust a fold in her kimono, a nervous gesture she may have suppressed within more formal company.
"What is it you are studying?"

Pana left the meeting room, her eyes still on the ground, and eventually made her way to the courtyard. She looked up and noticed Tika. Instinctively she walked towards the larger woman.
"Miss Seya," She said politely, "I finished speaking with lord Genji. I am here if you need my assistance with anything."

"Do not let me run you off. Please, we would like you to feel welcome and as if this is your home as well." Anzen took a moment to kneel down and place her largest book gently on the ground, obviously taking great care of the item. When she stood, she had opened the smaller book to a page full of text and the image of a body with points and notes written neatly around it. "As for my studies, I am currently looking into herbs and the like to help Genji-sama and the samurai to recover quicker from the strenuous training they do. I would hate for them to be in pain entering into a battle, if it were necessary, to do so on little rest." Anzen's eyes glittered as she glanced over the pages she had laid out of Tika to see, there was hopeful excitement in them.

Tika looked mildly curious, peering into the pages of knowledge.. she saw points of acupuncture, various herbs, and diagrams of the body in strange cryptic styles, possible representing different systems. Her eyes lingered over the texts for a moment. What was most interesting to her were the notations, which summed up areas of knowledge or proposed questions for future ponderance.
"Hmm... this is very interesting. I have always wanted to study herbal medicine," she said. Her knowledge of the subject, merely in terms of basic survival, was rudimentary at best.
Tika looked up from the pages and down at Pana Xia, who had just arrived from a meeting with Lord Genji.
"Oh. Hello.. I'm just looking around the manor," she said with a smile. "This is Anzen."
