Rolling his eyes Tadakatsu again spoke to the fool that thought his peasant lover his equal. Listen to me now! First you knock over my table, thus damaging the Inn keepers property! Not offering to pay for it! Then you have you whipping boy insult me and then bore me. You Sir are anything but civil. Your a noble of nothing and a master of a nobody! I suggest you gather up what little intelligence you seem to poses and apologize to that man you just insulted, fix my table, pay for it and then if you act like a true man and warrior, you may continue a conversation! But I assure you. I will not again waste my time and energy on you or your "Servant"*Hasshi laughs* 'you are absolutely right! i do have to apologise to you sir, i took you for a simple minded ruffian, yet Tanaka thought otherwise, so we engaged this little charade. I was hoping to have this whole thing settled after Tanaka lost, but i just *hate* it when people ignore me and i got a little ahead of myelf, allow myself to apologise' *Hasshi kowtows three times before Honda, an act incredibly unbefitting his class and status* 'I tell you what, you can keep that 500 gold as an apology and we'll duel again, tomorrow. i would be Honoured if you accept* *Hasshi bows and awaits a response*

Tadakatsu smirked.
You still havent fixed my table, have your servant do it if you will. Also, I do not duel without my weapon, it is as much apart of me as my heart.
He then turns to the stranger who his conversation with was interrupted.
Your name Sir?

A little taken aback by the abrupt entrance of this strange man he realized that the manners of this one were far inferior to that of other men. He suspected that he was in a drunken rage, or drunk with rage. It was hard to tell, furthermore he was impressed with this Honda's civil manners and well temperament. Though the immediate response by the strange man was startling. Almost as if a metamorphosis has happened before his very eyes, so fast that he could not see. Like the caterpillar that became a butterfly, once coarse and ugly, now refined and elegant.
But a little stunned when Honda asked him of his name
"What? Oh yes, right I am Kakizaki Suehiro, Daimyo of Sado. I'm here looking for men of talent and worth, you seem to be a very talented man of worth"
Of course he was hinting at Honda his desires but did not wish to flat out say it for a minor detail... He was just called a teamaster...

Tadakatsu raised an eyebrow in interest.
Sado you say? Tell me, how is it this time of year? I've never been but I've heard a few things. Also, you say you look for men of talent and worth. But what do YOU offer?

"You shall see the waves crash across it's rocky beaches while heading into port you shall smell fine cooking. From there there is Tokoyama Palace, a grand castle that is large enough to fend off invasion. There are pink peach blossoms in bloom, and the birds sing to their hearts content. What more do you want in a home?
I am a tactician, I have organized victories in battles that were never lost. I am fairly skilled in the art of the Katana, I once received one from the courts for excellent service... and also as a trifle for my home in Ezo being given to the Ainu. But I can hold my own, with out a doubt I can hold my own against him."
Suehiro points towards the man in front of him.
"Butterfly man, do you wish to test my metal?"

Tadakatsu lets out a small chuckle and envisions the place in his mind. If it is truly that nice, he will have to visit.
Hmm, this could be entertaining. I think I'll stick around and see if they fight. He thinks to himself.

Passion Tour Zhang He? *Hasshi smirked, and moved to address Honda* 'Great Warrior, since this... Daimyo, is so eager to have you in his service, why don't we see if he is worthy? Daimyo! if you can beat me, i'll leave straight away, and Honda can join your service. But if I win, then Honda will join me AND you will have to give me 500 gold, great warrior, what do you think?'

Suehiro looked at the butterfly man with distinct abstractness. he then became aware of how much money he had, but he also then became aware that if he won this man would be penniless. A beggar on the streets. So he hesitated... "Lower it to 400 and you have a deal."
(No... remember metamorphosis, if I called you moth man would you be better?)

Annoyed by the fact this man decided to take Tadakatsu's future into his own hands... Yet, he was curious. Tadakatsu was a man who never let fate decide things, he made his own destiny. But this time, he decided to let fate decide how his life turned out.
Fine. I join whoever wins. But I expect a duel worth watching damnit! I will refuse to serve a Lord who cannot protect himself, even though with me in his service... He wont have to.

'400? If i lose to you, i'd reckon i'd deserve to be a beggar'

Suehiro sighed, he was afraid this might happen. "If you wish to be a beggar then you shall be a beggar" Suehiro stood up and motioned for the butterfly man and Mr. Honda to follow him. He took out the Katana that he with him, and put the sheath in his belt. "Shall we Butterfly?"

'I saw a vacant garden when i arrived here, if you care to follow me, we shall duel there' *Hasshi bows, and then walks out, leaving the table where it is, he goes over to Tanaka and wakes him from his unconsciousness, Tanaka then procedes to follow Hasshi to the Garden*

Suehiro re-sheathed his Katana and followed the butterfly man out into the garden. Who was interestingly enough being followed by another man. One who bares a slight resemblance but not enough to make any family connection.

Finishing off his Sake, Tadakatsu follows the two men to this garden.
What a sudden turn of events, and what a shame to ruin a garden. He thinks to himself.

"What now, brother?"
"We wait. Relax yourself, Tsunayoshi. Our contact should be here momentarily."
"I cannot...to be so far from our armies, with only our personal arms...we are two high-value targets."
"This is a time of peace, for the most part. We have no enemies that would strike at us here."
Tsunayoshi nodded his head and walked away, over to the balcony, and leaned over. There was no one below, except for the occasional patron leaving the inn. Their small guard was posted by the doors in this private room, numbering a mere five people. Tsunayoshi bristled at the lack of security. Why would their contact want to meet here, he wondered. Tsunayoshi waved the thought away. If Ujiyasu thought it safe, it would be safe. Tsunayoshi had sworn on that long ago.
