 The garden is a small and charming little corner of the Hizashi residence compound, an offshoot of some of the courtyards and walkways. Here is the nearest entry and exit to the most commonly used private meeting room. |

Tika Seya walked out into the same garden that Inaba and Ketsueki had spoken in, dismissed from the room in which Lord Genji was meeting with his visitors. She stood by herself, staring at a display of vibrant flowers, her umbrella out and over her right shoulder. She wondered where Kiara had gone, but had a feeling she should not go too far, as she might be summoned shortly and didn't feel comfortable poking around or getting too near the high officials, who were immersed in discussion in a central plaza.

She would enter the gardens alongside Hosokawa Gentarou Masahiro and Hosokawa Aya. "As you can see our Lord is very fond of nature. He always likes to make sure his guests can enjoy only the most beautiful views wherever they might go in his mansion." She spoke friendly and would always keep a note of if they were following, staying polite and respectable at all times.
She would lead them to a small stone table with pillows in the grass were the both of them could sit down. It was under a blooming sakura tree and next to the water where a wide array of colorful fish could be seen swimming.
"If you would be so kind to take place here and enjoy the view Hosokawa-sama. I will return soon with tea." She bowed down to them both before leaving to get the tea that was promised.

Arriving at approximately the same time from the other end was Inaba, Shinamori Setoku following. He had arrived to request that Tika follow him. From there they would walk quietly to the dojo, leaving the garden empty for Kojuro, Nakatani, Masahiro, and Aya. |

The hatamoto quietly waited for the lordling alongside his wife as he sat at the low seated stone table. While Nakatani left to prepare tea for them he took a moment to appreciate the gardens as a sophisticated man of class was ought to do. His eyes focused on the pond of koi and watched as the colorful carp swam around. One decided to leap out of the water with a splash, stirring the silence that had settled in the gardens. With a gentle breeze that stirred the sakura blossoms, the well tended gardens all blended together to create a lovely feast for the eyes. Masahiro was appreciative of their brief respite as he turned his eyes to Aya whom he regarded warmly in the brief privacy they were afforded. However, the stoic samurai said nothing as he merely regarded her.

Kojuro disappeared into the main house to wash and get changed before meeting the Hosokawas in the garden. Looking down at his left hand he noticed blisters forming from holding his bokken awkwardly and gave a wry smile. That hasn't happened for a long time, he thought. This really is going to take more getting used to than I thought. Kojuro was already taking steps towards relearning kenjutsu, having placed an order at a bookstore in town for works on iaijutsu and nito-ichi , but there was only so much to be learned without a teacher. Still, for now, he had other things to think about, and he couldn't leave such important visitors as the Hosokawas on their own.
Changed into a semi-formal sage green kamishimo, he made his way back to the garden. Standing on the veranda, he could't help but notice the very subtle body language between the two that spoke of genuine affection. He thought it quite sweet, it was rare enough to see a husband and wife enjoying each others company in such a way, and perhaps it hinted at least a little at something under the stoic facade of Masahiro. "My apologies," he said, giving a short bow to the two before taking a seat with them. He looked to Nakatani, indicating she could begin serving the tea. "It's a beautiful spot, isn't it?" he began, "Lord Genji made sure to improve these gardens when he settled here after Katashima, I'm afraid it was rather bare before then."
Turning to Masahiro, he said, "Your presence here is most welcome. You have a great reputation, Hosokawa-dono. I'm sure there is much I could learn from you, if you can be patient with my slowness and inexperience."

Shortly after Hizashi had returned Nakatani would arrive with the tea. On a carrying tray, there was an expensive looking tea set that appeared to be quite old, though in a good state. On its surface, a garden was depicted quite like the one they were in with a blooming sakura tree as its focus. It was the exact reason she had chosen this spot to drink tea with the visitors. Hoping the matching design would help them experience the serenity of the garden even more.
"I have returned with the tea." she said before bowing her head to all of them in turn. She would then serve them, showing the skills she had learned in her younger days. Not a drop would be spilled and all cups were filled equally. Soon an aroma of Jasmine would reach their noses. Only upon tasting would they discover the slight hint of orange blossoms that was mixed in the blend.
She found it a bit awkward to take her place among them. She knew she was the one that had invited Kojuro for tea, but now that those important visitors had joined them it was hard for her to not feel like the servant she was used to be. Even so she would sit down elegantly and smile to them all, trying to drop a bit of her etiquette. She figured she would just speak when she was spoken to.

Aya looked up from her quiet enjoyment of her husband's company on such a lovely day as Kojuro and Nakatani arrived. Shifting to adjust herself into a perfect seiza, Aya lowered herself into a respectful bow before the young master. Everything about her suggested propriety, pride and honour, as well as the modesty appropriate for a woman in the presence of her betters. Her expression smoothed and blanked as Nakatani sat down with them. A servant joining them for tea? How...unique... She was certainly not accustomed to such a thing and wasn't precisely sure how to handle it. Fortunately, it was not her place to order around the servants of Hizashi-dono. And so she acknowledged the woman with a cool nod. As the men began to speak, she listened intently. Of course, having not been addressed and knowing that it was not her place to speak, Aya kept her silence.

The hatamoto regarded Nakatani with the bare minimum requirement of attention a woman of her station required before the lordling arrived. Masahiro acknowledged the young master with a seated bow before he settled his hands on his thighs and sat erect in his seat. He carefully articulated his words then, saying in a low, reserved voice, "Your admiration is appreciated though unnecessary here, Hizashi-sama. If you require some form of tuteledge you are not receiving elsewhere, speak freely and dismiss this notion of adulation. I am here on behalf of your uncle though if my duties permit it - and my Liege gives me leave - I can assist you as well."
The Hosokawa banner lord cut to the chase, deciding not to dance around formalities with the young man. He maintained the same stoic disposition, a mask of stony resolve replacing and semblance of humanity he may have betrayed before beside his wife. He dispatched the stiff illusion with the tea Nakatani presented as he took a gingerly sip.

Kojuro accepted tea from Nakatani with the slightest nod. If they wanted to talk, they could do so later. For now, since the Hosokawa's seemed to pride themselves on propriety, he would have to maintain the proper distance between master and servant. Hosokawa Masahiro and his wife were the perfect picture of samurai etiquette, and Masahiro's reply got straight to the point while still being impeccably polite. Kojuro smiled, "I'm not trying to flatter you," he said, hoping that Masahiro didn't think he was being disingenuous. "Kiyonai has been - mainly - at peace for many years. It's not often that a general of your experience has been seen in Hizashi mansion. I wish to make myself as useful to Lord Genji as possible, and as such I hope there will be an opportunity for me to learn from you in matters of war. Of course, I would in no way wish to interfere with your duties to Lord Genji."

"Ah, I see."
A boy on the cusp of manhood.
The seasoned warrior gave Kojuro a look of appraisal, scrutinizing the man with dark discerning eyes. So, the lordling wanted to prove himself to Lord Genji? Of course he wasn't surprised and he was quite the same when he was younger. Young men were full of vigor seeking to test their mettle after all. With a slow, firm nod the samurai took a small nod and gestured to the flowers in bloom within the garden.
"Tell me, young master, what do you see within this garden?"

Aya raised her teacup to her lips as she suppressed the urge to smile. The young lord reminded her somewhat of a young puppy, hopeful and eager to please. They were all like that at first, she reflected, malleable clay for her husband to mold into warriors. Kojuro would probably do well under Masahiro, so long as he worked as ardently as was his desire to please.
Aya's eyes rested on the young master, as she waited to hear his response. This was an important question, one which would reveal much about how he thought.

"Ah, I see."
That could mean pretty much anything, and there was nothing about Masahiro's demeanour that gave away any clues. The perfect noncommittal answer. So very diplomatic. Kojuro had no way of telling what to think, but he got the feeling that so far Masahiro was less than impressed with him. He also wondered what he thought he saw? Kojuro maintained a resolutely neutral expression as Masahiro looked him over, pretending not to notice as he took a sip of tea and stared into the garden.
He didn't answer Hosokawa-dono's question straight away, instead taking a moment to consider it. The garden meant many things to him. The sakura tree had been there hundreds of years, and lent its petals' form to the Hizashi clan crest. Since he had recovered enough from his injuries to leave his room he had been to the garden every day and sat contemplating it for a while. "I see harmony. The world in miniature. The transience of each individual thing, and the permanence of the whole. I see home, hope, and mono no aware."
"But, it's best appreciated by experience rather than analysis," he added with a slight upturn to his lips, "in my opinion."

"A perfectly cultivated answer, young master. I will give you that."
Whether Masahiro was being roundabout in his ways or simply pragmatic was left to be seen. The banner lord of Hizashi Genji looked over the elements as described by the lordling as he sipped his tea with Aya at his side. They were both images of polite etiquette, equally observant as they were paragons of decorum. He spoke with a practiced cadence while maintaining a subtle illusion of courteous conversation. Of course one could not expect anything less of a man such as him.
"We are men of violence, Kojuro-sama. Have you considered this contradiction before?"

Kojuro laughed. "Maybe I've had too much time to think recently," he said in reply to Hosokawa's answer, not quite certain what he implying with his response. He was certainly an intriguing person with his impeccable manners and ambiguous words.
Kojuro watched the garden with his guests for those few moments, content to sit in polite contemplation with them. It seemed that Masahiro had another question for him though. "Hmm, I don't see a contradiction," Kojuro replied. "Sometimes we are the sakura petals that fall, sometimes we are the gust of wind that cuts them down. As bushi, we don't kill indiscriminately, and when we do, we are prepared for our lives to end as well. Our adversaries likewise. All things die, so better to give our opponents the chance of an honourable death.
"I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject, Hosokawa-dono," he said, turning the focus back on Masahiro, hoping to hear him express some kind of viewpoint, rather than just give his own. After all there was no fun in having a conversation that only went in one direction.

The veteran swordsman lifted his teacup to his lips once more and took a small sip. It provided him a moment to collect his thoughts, organize his words, and forge ahead in their meeting. After that moment to compose himself, his eyes - which had settled on the garden on and off during their dialogue - settled on Kojuro with attentive purpose. With an off-handed sweeping gesture he retorted, "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." Neither here nor there and spoken with quiet indifference, it was hard to discern his intent. Still he watched for the boy's response.

"It's hard to argue with that," replied Kojuro in an amiable tone. Nevertheless it didn't exactly provide any insight into what Masahiro was actually thinking. Feeling as though he wasn't getting anywhere cracking that particular nut at the moment, Kojuro turned to Aya who had been sitting silently and patiently all the while as the two men carried out their somewhat cryptic conversation. He had invited both of them here after all. "So, Lady Hosokawa. How are you finding the move to Kiyonai? Is your new residence to your liking?"

Aya carefully replaced her teacup on the table, careful not to waste a motion or spill a drop. "It will do quite well," she replied as she folded her hands in her lap. "It is well located and there is a pleasing look about it."
She bowed her head forward a little more. "Perhaps my lord would honour us with a visit, that he might enjoy the grounds with his own eyes? The ride over is not overly long, and is quite pleasant."

"That's good," Kojuro replied as Lady Hosokawa seemed happy with her new home. "Thank you," he smiled as she invited him to visit, "Once you have fully settled in, I would be pleased to come to see the gardens." He passed a little more in the way of small talk with Hosokawa Aya, asking after her children and other such pleasantries, but after a while there seemed little more to say. Unless Aya or her husband had anything pressing to add to the conversation, Kojuro would excuse himself with a small bow. "It has been a pleasure meeting you both. Please feel free to stay and enjoy the garden longer if you wish. I'm sure Lord Genji will send someone to let you know when he is ready to see you."

Yasuke entered the garden where Kojuro sat upon what could just as well have been a throne with a lot of guards around him and inside the garden. This sense of vigilance from the guards did make Yasuke feel slightly unsure as earlier in life he had been used to avoiding such vigilant eyes like the plague. But now he was a part of them... well technically he was above them as most of them had probably never spoken casually with the lord's nephew before. So instead of cowering, Yasuke just pushed his chest forward just an inch and straightened up as he entered. Yasuke hadn't put armor on because somehow he felt that going into the sack would be some kind of agility feat, so he'd prefer just to wear his clothes.
