Age: 24
Physical Description: Height: 5’4”
Weight: 130 lbs
Build: Lithe
Eyes:
Color: Golden Brown
Shape: Rounded, more-so than usual
Hair:
Color: Midnight black
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.

"I would not mind taking a seat under some shade.. This book is starting to feel quite heavy." Adjusting the book somewhat in her arm, she took a moment to pick what looked to be a comfortable spot. Nodding towards it, she started walking slowly so he could follow while she spoke. "Come, Setoku-kun. Do you have a small blade on you I could borrow? I would like to show you something."

Age: 32
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 nodded to the girl, and dutifully followed behind. His expression, though, changed rapidly to shock when she asked for a small blade. With his former opponent, Tika, not so far off... He glanced down toward the right of his torso, and bit his lip. No, not that one. His expression finally settled back as he answered. There were only the females and Tika around, it would be fine.
"I do, actually, Anzen-Chan. Though it is not a normal practice of mine to allow my blades in others hands, I think it'll be OK."
Setoku pulled the No-dachi from its place on his back, and turned his head to give Kiara a small smile.
"Don't tell anyone, ok? I ask this of you as well, Tika-san..."
The courtyard didn't seem to vast, and whether the later heard him or not was kinda of moot. He flipped the five and a half foot saya around, grabbing the bottom of the sheath, where the blades tip would of reside. And pulled, withdrawing a small foot and a half blade, including the hilt.
"This Kodachi, an odd sister of my Katana, is as small as I got. Will that work?"
He offered the blade, hilt first to her.

"I am honored you would allow me to handle your blade. I shall do so with great care and promise to not harm you with it." Anzen's eyes sparkled as she looked over the smaller blade. After having received it from Setoku, with a small bow in gratitude, she laid her book gently on the ground then lowered herself gracefully to sit on her knees. Patting the ground in front of her in an offering for Setoku to sit as well, she would wait until he had planted himself across from her. "I would like to try something, do you know the kanji for 'to knit'?.." Would be the only warning and question Setoku would receive before Anzen pulled the blade across her palm, with barely a wince, leaving a small trail of blood in its wake. Smiling, she quietly watched how he would react.

Setoku bowed his head in return, accepting the seat she offered, though when she asked the question, he raised an eyebrow, clearly he did not know this, but that was quickly covered by a shock, as his eyes widened at her reaction. He went to reach for her hand, but his other hand grabbed his own arm in response,as if he was forcefully stopping himself.
"Anzen-Chan... That particular blade never bit into skin before... I... I am dishonored the first blood it tastes was yours... And a little ashamed. Such a thing should never come to pass..."
Setoku looked to the ground, but quickly recovered. This girl wasn't harming herself intentionally, he was sure.
"My blades aren't meant to destroy beauty, but preserve it... Forgive me."
Setoku bowed his head, trying to cover his own... Reaction to the situation.

"Setoku-kun, forgive me for tainting your blade.. But seeing as you have been able to connect to the healing powers as I do, I want to see the strength of your kanji.." She spoke apologetically, as if his shame bothered her deeply. Resting his blade across her lap, Anzen took a moment to look over the ground before having a small 'ah-ha' reaction to a twig on the ground. Quickly, she drew the needed kanji in the dirt then held her slowly bleeding hand, palm up between them. "Would you do me the honor of writing that kanji on my palm.. Just do what you did before and write when you feel the warmth. Kiara-san, feel free to watch if you would like to learn as well." Anzen glanced at the girl, with a small inviting smile.

"I will... Try, Anzen-Chan.."
Setoku closed his eyes a moment, before slowly opening them to view the needed kanji. He waited, asking the gods, or who so ever, until he felt the warmth. And suddenly, his hand came up quickly, stroking a rough version of that same Kanji on the ground.
"Like this? And yes, my lady. Come see me try and fail."
Setoku smiled to Kiara, and looked back to Anzen for some sort of approval.

"Look quickly, Setoku-kun." With her free hand, she wiped away the bits of blood so he could visibly see the skin basically knit itself back together until all that's left was what looked like a small scratch. The kanji he had written on her hand had gone from looking like a tatoo to fading to only a faint outline, barely noticeable. Anzen looked pleasantly surprised, flexing her hand as any pain dissipated along kanji. The smile that curled her lips was a proud one. "That worked surprisingly well.. Great job, Setoku-kun."

Setoku didn't turn his head fully to look, but instead allowed his eyes to gaze at her wound from the side, and as if something frightened him, his eyes went wide. His head slowly turned to take in what had just happened.
"I... I... Did that?"
His hands shot out, taking her own in them, and he slowly turned it side too side, as if looking for the trick. The sleight of hand he missed.
"How... Is this possible? The... Gods?"
He stopped twisting her hand about, and instead merely cupped it in his own, his eyes defocusing for a moment, and he spoke quietly, as if to another person altogether.
"If... If I always had this... Lord Shigeru... Forgive me.."

"Setoku-kun.." Anzen's voice was barely a whisper as she brought her free hand up to his, pressing it gently to the back of the hand that held her previously injured one in a wordless attempt to not only comfort him but draw him back from whatever was plaguing his heart. "Setoku-kun.. have I upset you..? I am sorry." The previous joy in her face had faded into a sorrowed, almost pained expression. Her golden eyes searched his face, glistening as they seemed to tear up.

Setoku winced his left eye, gritting his teeth, until he felt Anzens' hand on his own. Maybe it was just the contact of a physical being, or maybe it was the realization that those dark times were long behind him - His eyes came into focus, and they caught her own.
"Oh... No, Anzen-Chan... Nothing you did, just a... A bad memory, from a time... Long ago. Don't..."
The hand without hers atop it came up, and the fingers brushed her cheek lightly.
"Look so worried... It was my own pride, nothing more. Show me instead that glow that follows you, huh?"
Setoku closed his eyes, and smiled. Keeping the memory where it needed too stay. Locked away, trying to be forgotten.

"I worry about all pain, whether it physical, mental, or emotional.. If I can help anyone lead a less painful and more fulfilled life, I do whatever I can." Anzen would allow him to see a small smile tug at her lips though there was still a faint shadow of worry in her eyes she attempted to mask for his sake. She would slightly turn her head towards his touch. "Now what can I do to take your pain away? I do feel as if I owe you a new blade after tainting yours.. Do forgive me."

"Pain is a fact of life for all warriors, Anzen-Chan. Your goal is the most admirable I have seen, to be worried about a useless Samurai like myself - But not all wounds can be mended..."
Setoku turned his head a moment, smiling sadly, but his hand cupped her cheek as she turned into his touch.
"Some people aren't deserving of such care, they say. I would fall under that category. But just be... Here. Be... You. Show the same care and compassion to to others that you waste on me... And that.."
Setoku turned back to face her, and leaned in close, as if to kiss the girl. But he stopped short, leaning his head forward to touch his forehead to hers, if she allowed such.
"Is more than enough to fix my pain. As for the sword... No need. You can keep it, or I can carry it with me as a token of the day I met such a compassionate person"

"Pain should never be a fact of life.. I understand its use and necessity to help a person's soul to grow or to mature.. But Setoku-kun, do you still believe that you are nothing more than a 'useless Samurai'? Have you not shown you have more worth than you understand?" There was a subtle but sincere stubbornness in her voice. Her head would not turn from his but her eyes would stare at the hand Setoku had healed. Pulling her free hand away, she would reach into her obi and tug out something she would not make immediately known. "I could not rid you of a blade, if you must march into battle, I much rather you have more than one way of protection.

"But pain is the way of life... Whether all wounds are healed or not... Life demands a sacrifice... It's not fair, nor is it right, or just... But that's all life becomes."
His eyes gazed into her own, even as she withdrew an object from her obi.
"I was born into a clan of healers, which fell from grace. My clan was my sacrifice. I show potential I never thought possible... But does that make me any more than a useless samurai? I suppose I can't say. But now I can save others, so perhaps I'm a little more, I don't know..."
Setoku looked away again, but his gaze fell instead in the direction of Kiara. And then back to Anzen.
"But no matter, keeping that blade isn't depriving me of anything... If anything, it gives me reason to return, something this useless Samurai has not had... In a long time."

Have I lost you again, my best friend?
Roleplay posts: 89
Age: 24
Physical Description: Height: 5’4”
Weight: 130 lbs
Build: Lithe
Eyes:
Color: Golden Brown
Shape: Rounded, more-so than usual
Hair:
Color: Midnight black
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.

"I have never though samurai to be useless to begin with.. I do look up to their bravery and courage. Though I am not a fan of war, I do want our people protected. Setoku-kun, I also believe you have sacrificed enough and maybe it is time that you heal your body and soul. However, if and when you must leave, is this blade really the only reason you would have to return?" Saddened by the thought, she slowly withdrew her hand that he had been holding like a delicate flower sometime and under the guise of her lengthy sleeves, she quickly tied something to his wrist but kept it hidden. "I know you said you will be departing shortly for.. new footware.. but bring some new knowledge back with you as well? Medicinal practices from outside these walls can help us see a new point of view.. or even new kanji to better our healing. I would love to see your strength blossom outside of the battlefield." Anzen would then pull her hands hands away, leaving a jade ribbon wrapped around his wrist but tied loose enough for him to pull off should he dislike it. The girl would mention nothing of her action, but merely smile to him.

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.

"Well... It's not the blade I would be returning too..."
He tilted his head to the side, as the girl pulled her hands away, and his eyes flicked too his wrist. A jade ribbon hanging from his sleeve, tied to his wrist...? He pulled up his arm, watching as it followed. He was new to such treatment, but he understood it.
"I'll do you one even better, Anzen-Chan. I am only travelling to a village two days away, after all.. But..."
Setoku reached out to the ribbon with his other hand, and wrapped what remained along his forearm, smiling lightly.
"I will bring this back to you, blood free, and learn everything I can on my short journey... And return...."
Setoku lowered his head again, obviously this was his sure fire tactic to hide his emotions.
"Too you."

Anzen tilted her head to the side, curious at his behavior. Bringing her hand up, she used just the tips of his fingers to attempt to lightly guide his face and eyes to meet her own inquisitive gaze. "You know.. earlier I felt as if I were going to end up as a thorn in your side, I did not think you enjoyed my presence.. May I asked why you are now willing to go through so much trouble as to hide your face and avoid bloodshed?" If he were to look at her, or even if he refused to lift his face, her hands would eventually fall to lay daintily in her lap.

Setoku felt her fingertips, and reluctantly allowed them to guide them to her gaze. Why indeed? The question did deserve an answer, he supposed. At first he played it off, trying to keep the mood light..
"Well between Tika-sans amazing fight, the kindness of the Lady over there, and the fact our Lord accepted me with no qualms... It was... Trepidation, in a way. That... And walking miles with only bandages on your feet is painful!"
Setoku smiled, but his eyes betrayed the fact her gaze seem to melt him. He stayed silent another moment, and as her hands came to rest, he answered.
"The kindness, of first the Lady, Kiara, a noble, clearly... Then of you, also a noble, clearly... Is new to this humble samurai... Never in my time... Have I met kind nobles. Your beauty, your compassion... To grace me with such, even after my crude words... It was.. warming. Perhaps I myself can change, if nothing else.. too impress you."
Again, he lowered his head.
"This one knows more bloodshed will follow... But thanks to your compassion for my lesser self... Perhaps no more Death."

At the mention of her being a noble, she quickly brought her finger to her lips as if to quiet him. Even then, she smiled. "I do not want to be seen as a noble, but as a healer and a friend.. I want everyone to come to me without fear of rejection despite their place in society. Your harshness felt as if it were because of your pain, I wanted to take that away and see you as you are. So you have no need to go out of your way to impress me. And it does please me more that everyone here has been welcoming to you, I do hope this becomes your home as well and you are never gone for long." It seemed it was going to be a while before he broke the habit of lowering his head, so gently as to not startle him, she pushed a lock of hair away from his forehead so she could at least attempt to see his eyes. "Perhaps one day you will join me in the medical wards, away from the bloodshed that haunts you.."
