Words Cut Like Steel

[Bayushi_Taree]

"That must have been a difficult duty for all that it is necessary."

Taree is quiet for a moment.

When she speaks it's quietly "If it's not to forward... would I be able to ask how many years it has been since your gempukku? ... It's just, well, I'm curious if somehow I haven't been making the most of my past two years... though much of the circumstances were not exactly in my control... You just seem so much more experienced by comparison..."

[Soshi_Mishiguri]

Mishiguri nods quietly, "I reached gempukku at 14. I have been an aide ever since. I have currently seen 21 summers in my lifetime."

[Tsuruchi_Rekai]

Rekai has a servant bring her some tea, and sips it idly, her eyes focused on some distant horizon, obviously deep in thought. When anyone new enters court, she'll bow or nod appropriately, but stay somewhat disengaged unless someone approaches her.

[Seiren]

Seiren enters, bowing deeply to the Yotsu first and then appriopately to the samurai present. The ronin moves across the court, finding an empty table near the two Scorpion and ordering a pot of tea from a nearby servant.
