Hiromitsu thought for a moment, weighed his words, he was not a courtier, so perhaps his exploits were not to work. Nevertheless, he ventured finally with a brave voice.
-If I ask Daimyou-sama and Bayushi Haruka-sama to come with me to Toshi Ranbo to get care... Would the answer to that question be the same as the answer to this question?

"And if I were to travel to Toshi Ranbo, the lion would have to let me through. Either way we need to see the lion. The most immediate care will be there. Besides, Haruka has fought the Crane. It would be prudent to get care with them. Lets hurry, I have much to do here." With that Senshi marched off to see an old friend.

The envoy was clenching the message from the Doji daimyo with heavy heart. The afternoon that had just passed, Doji Naetaru wrote the typical yet courteous welcoming message addressed to the Scorpion representative that would have normally been sent to announce the Scorpion champion's arrival. There had been a fine delay from the Scorpion side that Naetaru wouldn't understand. However etiquette demanded that the daimyos had shown the proper respect and thus the letter had to reach Scorpion hands only. Even though Morisue, the envoy, searched he couldn't find a single Scorpion. Naetaru had mentioned that his sister managed to track a Scorpion, loyal to the Hantei, his name was somehow escaping his mind. Morisue exited the walls at night, dedicated on finding one Scorpion...
(OOC: Guys I figured that I would like to instigate some more roleplaying between Hanteists and Toturists. Or even more some intra-Clan interaction.)

This war made things worst in so many aspects that he did not want to bring any more disturbance, and not wanting to be recognised by the lion, or by the cavalry that served Haruka moments before, Hiromitsu somehow got lost in the middle of Senshi's entourage.
This has been a long day.
Of course the Daimyou did not needed him anymore. And it was clear that he will again be treated as before, a common Bushi. Just like a breeze, he went away.
In his way to Toshi Ranbo, he saw Morisue, clearly a envoy. Clearly, FROM toshi ranbo. He was way too clean, well fed and with thouse "stylish" clothes that are the "new black" this days to be from somewere else.
The guy would get a severe beating if He manage to get caught somehow. Hiromitsu emerged from the mists and revealed himself. -I am Bayushi Hiromitsu, Bayushi Bushi, ex-student at the Wet Rock Dojo in Goguri, now student at Bitter Lies Dojo in Ryoko Owari, third son of the Magistrade of the Bayushi Family, Bayushi Tenshi-san and the courtier of the Seven Sting Keep and Gokenin Bayushi Miyu-san.

Senshi and his wife departed the company of the newly appointed bitter lies swordsman and continued to Tomatsu's camp. Senshi had awarded the stunningly lucky bushi with a new appointment, enrollment to the most prestigious dojo in the scorpion lands. He suspected Hiromitsu would do well there.
The two arrived without fanfare, purely business as Senshi asked for medical attention for his wife.

Tomatsu was in his tent, going over the plans for the next days fighting. He told his attendants to allow the guests in. He knew his old friends would not need to stand on ceremony, he could just be himself around them. He did not even look up from the maps as he waited for them to arrive.

Morisue was taken aback by the Scorpion's sudden appearance out of the mist. He looked at the samurai and bowed low. He seemed rather confused with his words.
"Bayushi-sama, I bear a message for the Scorpion, for the one who would wish to enter the Imperial City to meet and get greeted by Hantei Naseru-tono, the Emperor."
He remained bowed, his head low. Now it was the time, either his head would be cut down or stay put...either result unwinding a different chain of events...

"Tomatsu, friend. I have favors I must ask of you. Will you care for Haruka this night? See her wounds taken care of?" Then Senshi swallowed. "And I need access to Toshi Ranbo, can you allow me an escort into the very court of Toshi Ranbo? The crane sent word that they would escort me, but I have no intention of accepting. I would prefer it if your men and women led the way. And I must ask that it be done peacefully, and you cannot follow."
Senshi hoped the gravity of his words would convey the deep sincerity he felt, and he wished Tomatsu would accept unconditionally, things had been too difficult as of late.
"Please, friend."

He turned finally, looking up from the maps, a clear look of concern on his face for either the injury his wife suffered or the need that he had for his troops. My friend I put the 3rd Legion under your control, its part of the Matsu armies, it should suffice. I shall poll my generals and see if any want to volunteer to bolster their ranks, they are short on troops as of now as I had just pulled them off the line to rest.
As for your wife, I had been meaning to take a trip up to the Unicorn lands, I see no reason why I couldn't bring her along. I promise you she will be in the best hands and I would treat her as though she were my own sister, I will spare no expense to keep her alive and safe, you have my word.
He stared at him straight in the eyes, sincerity flowing from him as a void flows from a monk. He would do nothing to jeopardize either mission, he knew how important these favors he was asking were to Senshi, and how indebted he would be to Tomatsu, not that Tomatsu really cared about who owed who what favors between him and Senshi, he was as close to family as one could get after all. And after all, who better to take to Unicorn lands than a former Unicorn.

Senshi nodded his thanks and turned to leave. Bowing to Tomatsu, and giving Haruka a long look. He hesitated as if wanting to speak to her, but left anyway.

Keisuke, bowed before leaving the command tent. Arrayed in his heavy armor that had been freshly cleaned to the point to suggest that he had not earlier this day returned from the front lines. He carried an air of confident ease hoping to in part that same confidence and strength of will to the men and women he commanded.
Presenting himself to the Scorpion champion and bowing in a military fashion. Lord Bayushi-sama, I am Akodo Keisuke, Daimyo of the Akodo family, second in command of the Lion forces here this day. Lord Akodo Tomatsu-sama has asked help carry the word of the Lion Clan with you on you visit to Toshi Ranbo.
Raising, If it please my lord, I will be adding Fujimaro’s Legion to your command. They are highly skilled archers and they will help balance out the forces you will be commanding. As part of your escort as well I will bring along my personal elite guard, to ensure our safety and send a strong message, to those still defending the city.
Keisuke, took a stance of a soldier at rest, an old war fan grasped lightly in his hands.

Kitsu Hira
A slight man, dressed in a faded but obviously well cared-for kimono bowed deeply as he came before the Scorpion Champion.
Bayushi-sama, I am Kitsu Hira, and I lead the Kitsu who will be accompanying you into Toshi Ranbo, as per Kitsu Natsuki-sama's instructions. It is our honour to serve you in whatever way you may require. Simply inform us of your desire, and it shall be done.
