Kaen snapped his finger creating a spark with his flint rings, turning it into a small fire orb. "I have been practicing." he said with a gleeful smile. He played with the fire a bit tossing around like a ball, playing with it like a toy pretending to almost drop it on Kojuro. He laughed hysterically as he closed his fist dissipating it within his fist "Im sorry I couldn't resist."
As he settled back from his humorous joke he played on his friend "Oh around is he?" he sighed "I guess ill be respectful. I hope he doesn't remember me.." he took a cup of sake, starting to drink hearing this news. "He wont like the magic... Or the fact I'm a ronin.. Or the fact you still talk to me.." he shook his head taking a huge sip of his sake.
Kaens mood improved seeing his friend almost giddy of a girl "Its good you found someone my friend." he sat back a bit letting his toughts wander to Sen a bit. "Sens.. Something special too." he sighed "She doesn't look at me the same way as others do." Kaen shrugged "I dont feel like an outcast when Im with her. I lost my title. My home, people look down on me for it now but like you, she didn't." He chuckled to himself "Neither did the Red Cardinal.." he carried on thinking back to the time they hand investigating.
Kaen snapped back to reality with a simple nod "It seems she was against the tyranny at Tokung. From what I gathered information wise, and what I saw. She was very... Honorable." he continued "As a personal recommendation I would like to formally request that we bring Shiori and Sen to the capital, in a more official setting." he paused "Their usefulness will be better suited here than out there.." he thought back to watching those two working harder than most men in the field, doing what they could for information.
Kaen smiled "I might know where she it.. she likes to practice her archery in the forest, she is able to manipulate winds to guide her arrows to targets. even behind cover, its quite incredibly really." he beamed proudly as he talked about her, showing his pride at the skill of his little sister. "Either the forest or the Dojo." he nodded.

Kojuro joined Kaen in his laughter as he fooled around with his fireball. “Careful, if you dropped it by accident Anzen-onee-san would probably kill you for giving her more work to do.” He nodded. Thinking of Ryuzo took away the jokes and mischief like a sudden wind blew out a candle. “You're not a ronin any more, don't forget. You pledged your sword to Lord Genji. You're back in Clan Hizashi now. Somehow he couldn't imagine that would be a distinction Ryuzo cared about.
“Sen? The onmitsu?” Kaen's appreciation for her made him raise a sceptical eyebrow. “I'm glad you got along,” he said, wanting to add a “but”, but thinking better of it. Kaen was in a good mood, and perhaps he and the onmitsu really did have something special going. “Are you starting to prefer spying to fighting?” he asked with a teasing edge to his voice.
Kaen's recommendations were taken seriously, and Kojuro nodded, before taking a sip of his tea. “That's good to hear. I'll look forward to meeting her once we're finished with the Shogun. As for the onmitsu, I have work for them too. Just don't be seen together with her in town.”
“Arashi would be welcome to join our forces if she wishes, if not she can stay at the mansion. But Kaen, I'm afraid I will have to send you away again. General Kumagai is leading a Hizashi force to south Jeoncho, at a place called Sugimoto. I want you there with him. We intend to draw off the Shogun's forces so that we can attack Xuandao from the north. If you finish up quickly, we'll meet back at the Capital.”

Kaen sighed slightly thinking back to when they were younger "I always though your father hated me honestly. EVen though my family served yours, and for a long time. I always felt as though he though we were higher in station." Kaen shrugged slightly "Before the Magic scares started father was humble, kind even." Kaen frowned taking a large gulp. "I do miss those days." he put the cup down. Looking very serious at Kojuro "Once we gain a foothold in Tawakoshi. I would love your help in trying to get my father to see reason." Kaen shakes his head "Who knows who else he had exiled out of the Head family to to paranoid fear."
A slight smirk appeared on his face, "Ill give her credit, she is incredibly charming. Puts me to shame brother." Kaen smiled even wider "Did come with a pretty awesome name." he laughed "My presence isn't exactly known here. Its been years since I was here last, and even if people know me. They know my father is a shut in and I would have been exiled." Kaen shrugs "That little bit of information is handy when dealing with rogue elements." Kane poured more sake in both cups "I love to fight. You know that but with my situation its prime opportunity to try my hand at a bit of trickery." He took another gulp of sake.
Kaen became stone faced at hearing this plan "Good. Its about time we put that Tyrant and his thugs to the sword, my brother." he nodded as he was given his orders "Ive been wanting to try a new tactic I came up with utilizing my abilities. How decent are the archers here?"

Time for herself was rare these days and Nakatani decided to use it wisely and roam the gardens she so much loved. She would smell the flowers, watch the ripples in the pond and feed grains and corn to the small ducklings that had hatched from their eggs only a few weeks ago.
It truly was the only time she had to stand still and think. Her life was keeping her very busy these days. She tended to lady Sayuri in her every need, a task that required most of her time now that the baby's birth was getting closer. Even the nights grew short as lady Sayuri had trouble getting to sleep. And most of the free time she did manage to get, she would be called upon by Anzen-san. On her own request, Anzen had taken to teaching her martial arts so she could learn to defend herself. She was a clumsy student and the teachings had gone slow, but Nakatani felt more confident than before. She had even roamed the streets of Kiyonai on her own again a few times without feeling afraid.
She sighed as the little ducklings started to quack at her, wondering why she stopped throwing them corn. They watched her intently, hoping more would come if they just begged hard enough. But Nakatani didn't even notice them at that moment, her mind full of thoughts. Kojuro had been away for a long time fighting a war. She had been getting more worried with the day for his health. It would have calmed her mind if she would know what the messagers said when they came in, but Ryuzo-sama had decided to leave her in the dark. The only news she heard was from Anzen, who was kind enough to share with her what she knew.
She knew the war had been won, which was good news. But she didn't know if anybody got wounded or killed. She always tried to calm herself by saying saying that Anzen would at least know if Kojuro had been killed, but there was still a part of her that worried.
She missed him. Even in this big castle where she was surrounded by so many people, she felt alone without him.
"Nakatani-san?" a voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Nakatani turned around to look who was there. It was one of the guards. "Yes?" she answered him. "I am to inform you that Kojuro-sama is expected to return within the next two days." the guard informed her formally. Her heart fluttered at the sound of that. He would walk through the gates and come back to her. "Thank you for informing me." she said and gave him a light bow to dismiss him.
As soon as she left she placed the rest of the corn and grains on the ground next to the pond and made her way towards her living quarters. There was a lot that she needed to do before he returned.
