"If I must, Aoki-sama" Zanza bowed

Jiye bows to Aoki.

"Have yourself a good evening Seppun-sama. This was fun. We should do this again sometime."

Jiye sports a bright innocent smile.

Zanza's eyes dart to Jiye's expression, "You know, I really wish I could pull that look off...the best I can do is make people think I'm up to something"

"What do you mean? Its easy. Just think happy thoughts and have your head in the clouds."

Jiye smiles smiles.

Zanza coughed at the implications of that statement. "That's an interesting view Jiye-san, I've never before equated innocence with stupidity."

"Though I suppose it bear considering--maybe the reason I always look like I'm up to something is that I am always up to something"

"Not necessarily stupid, I was thinking more whimsical. as for your other statement, well I guess its hard to hide what you really are sometimes. Unless you had training I suppose, your true body language speak volumes more than what you actually say."

Jiye puts on a thoughtful look as he continues his smile.

"I wondered why they always cast me as the villian." Zanza stares heavenward.

"We are merely players set upon a stage. Whether we are villians or remain so is completely up to us."

Jiye gives Zanza a friendly smile.

"Speaking of villains...how's that whole loyalty beyond honor thing working out for you?" Zanza said with a smirk

"Whatever do you mean Zanza-san?"

Jiye smiles back politely.

"Oh you know," Zanza said to the ceiling, "that whole 'we will be villians if that's what it takes to preserve the empire' mistique the Scorpion have cultivated over the years...what sorts of villiany have gotten yourself into in the name of the empire?"

"Nothing specific of course." he added quickly, "Just curious how you spend your time."

"I don't know what you're talking about Zanza-san. The Scorpion do their job of protecting the Empire honourable. Any allegations otherwise are obviously fabrications meant to confuse people."

Jiye splashes some water on his face.

"All the assignments I've ever been assigned have nothing villianous about them."

Jiye says with a matter of fact smile.

Zanza stared at him for a moment, "You're one of those "junshin" aren't you?"
He said "Junshin" like it was a swear word

"Junshin? What's that? Is it something good to eat? I just follow my orders like any good samurai. That's all."

Jiye smiles.

Playing stupid are we? Zanza thinks, Well you can't argue with stupid...

"Not exactly, Jiye-san" Zanza replies evenly, "Just a word I heard on the street once--apparently it describes a Scorpion who wishes he was a Crane. Pay it no mind."

He holds up a hand and contemplates it for a moment, "Hmmm, I suppose I should be getting out soon."
