Saku nudged Yuki, a confident looking man had just walked in to the inn. Oukan Saku looked impressed with his posture and the way he carried himself. Deciding that there might be a chance that he would be as good in mind as in body he appproached the corner where he was sitting. Yuki sat back in his chair sipping his drink and watched events unfold ready to intervine if the situation demanded it.

Tadakatsu, who appeared to have fallen asleep awoke and re emerged as from his solitude at his table and walked over to the bar to obtain a new jug of wine. When several new comers caught his eye.

Ujisato sat, leisurely sipping his tea when he noticed a figure coming towards him. From his demeanor, Ujisato could tell he was of some importance. He wondered to himself if this was the "approach" he had envisioned. Then he muttered to himself "time waits for no man"

Ujisato sat, leisurely sipping his tea when he noticed a figure coming towards him. From his demeanor, Ujisato could tell he was of some importance. He wondered to himself if this was the "approach" he had envisioned. Then he muttered to himself "time waits for no man" Saku saw that he'd been noticed, good an early sign of a sharp intelligence he needed in his party. "Good sir I saw that you were sitting alone and wondered if you'd welcome some company after what looks like a long day of travel?" Saku stood waiting next to the table hoping that this would be a chance to gain a powerful ally.

Ujisato looked up at his guest, and spoke"I'd be honored my lord, by all means, take a seat, and share a cup of tea with me, company is always welcome."Ujisato carefully studied the man."My name is Gamo Ujisato, and you might be...?"

Saku took pulled out a seat and sat across from Ujisato. He decided to test the waters. "My name is Oukan Saku, I am a man from the north of the island, the area known as Mutsu, in recent times I've been lucky to gain a small gathering there. May I ask why a man of your stature travelling alone?"
He poured a cup of tea, took a sip and sat back in his chair a waiting a response.

Suehiro sat patiently and another man came by him. 'It seems this Gamo is most desirable'. He wrote something down on a peace of paper and sent a sake bottle over to Gamo.
'What animal hunts others even when it does not need it for food. That has large frenzied attacks on their own species. That are ruthless and utterly destructive, even in the eyes of the gods?'
He sent another piece of paper.
'Enjoy the sake my friend'

"Lord Oukan, I travel alone because I have yet to find a lord worthy of serving. I have not been to Tohoku...tell me more of it, and your position in Mutsu." At that moment, a serving wench approached Ujisato with a bottle of sake, and said,"compliments of lord Kakizaki..."Ujisato looked at Lord Oukan,"one moment please."Ujisato read the attached card and thought to himself..."the tiger...or the shark...hmmmm."

Suehiro seemed to notice Gamo pondering his question, he smiled and enjoyed his Tea. He then stood up and walked briskly to the stoned road and watched the darkening sky. The milky mix of Orange Yellow are now deceased. What remains is the Blue, The Black, and the Violet. The moon is half full and is shining rather dimly compared the majestic Tea house just a few metres to his rear.
"I wonder if he got it right"

My position? Oukan was at a lose of what to say. He held no formal rank yet if he was to make a honest reply he might lose the chance to add this man to his force!
Stroking his beard Saku said, "I am a man of little power but much influence. I joined an army as a mere peasant but a year ago but now I lead 500 men and am an one of the powers of Mutsu. While its true I hold no formal rank of present it is my expectation that before long I shall be its lord and from there the sea is but a boundary.
Saku wondered if he had posed his response adequately and waited for Ujisato answer.

Tadakatsu sat some time watching his lord giving his attention to a stranger.
Has he forgotten me already? Tadakatsu thought to himself.
Jealous, he walked over and sat at his lords right side. Letting out a small grunt.
My Lord... He spoke to Suehiro

"Ah Tadakatsu, you're here"
Looking to the lights of the stars he turns to face Tadakatsu.
"I'm thinking of getting that man over there in my service, what do you think?"

He doesnt look like much. Tadakatsu spoke, slightly inntoxicated.
Getting an idea in his head he grabbed a cup and hurled it in the mans direction.
Hey! Over here, you! He yelled across the Inn to Gamo

Suehiro smiled with a near laughter asking Tadakatsu to calm down a bit.
"Sorry Mr. Gamo, but Mr. Honda requests a word"

Ujisato listened intently to Oukan Saku's words, when a cup of sake came flying at him. Startled, he immediately put his hand to the hilt of his katana, and found the cause of the ruckus. His eyes narrowed as he singled out the drunken oaf across the room."If you wish to address me, do so with courtesy, that is, unless you wish to have fewer appendages than you possess now, brash one", spat Ujisato.
