Mitsouko’s pupils widened, reacting to Omigawa’s words, but her face kept the smile. Yes, Omigawa, there’s always a hint of truth in any rumor. So this sailor said a “Spawn of Jigoku” would have been brought to the Nanhan province? I’m interested to know the difference between what is a “Spawn of Jigoku” for you… and for an ignorant sailor. The hanko danced through her fingers, her green-gold eyes observing his face and his reactions with more attention now.

He held up his hand. "I apologize if I was misunderstood," Omigawa said. "This sailor merely made mention of the fact that his ship went to the shores of the Shadowlands and back. The idea that something from there may have followed him back is entirely mine." A wry grin appeared on Omigawa's face. "We can be a paranoid lot, always expecting the worst."

Uhn...If it is possible, I guess Cran need to check every new face with double care from now on... As we cannot count on the usual sort of enemies our sad civil war is bringing to these shores... but on a sort that doesn't believe in honor... Not a blink from her fixed eyes, while checking for a minimal trace of threat. Omigawa was of course impressive, and Yamuso dangerous, but since the oni she discovered a new and wild thing just half tamed inside herself. Though, it was struggling all the time with the instincts of a mother. She knew it. Knew it in her heart all the time. I wonder why this sort of "spawns" would do such a thing. Landing in Nanhan during an army gathering. Unless they are crawling slaves of a traitor's will, I mean. Slaves of a weak, vain and mad man that dared to betray his clan and his lady... Though I'd love to hear what his new hosts think of him. Are they as insane as him? Though her tone was of utter disgust, her voice was mellow as always.

Omigawa's eyes narrowed slightly. "Clearly I have upset you, Kakita-sama," he said, "and for that I apologize." He straightened, and offered her a bow of deference. "I hope you will forgive my curiosity." He gestured toward the tent's exit with an arm. "Our conversation has been pleasant for the most part, but as you said, you are a busy woman, and I have kept you here too long. I will consider your gracious invitation; perhaps we will meet again, if the kami will it."

Yamuso noticed the change in the Kakita's eyes at his companion's words. As the tone of the conversation changed, Yamuso tensed. He had enjoyed the verbal 'game' he had played with the Kakita, but the change in her eyes set Yamuso on edge. She knew something. But he wasn't sure it was about their current query, or something else entirely. He wasn't sure if his companion had picked up on it or not, but he was certain of what he saw.
He tensed at the exchange between Omigawa and the Kakita, and knew that there was something there to dig for. But how? With the tension building, Yamuso smiled, and looked at the Kakita while Omigawa spoke. "I have the type of face one sees and never forgets... " Yamuso said quietly, as if not realizing the words had left his mouth.

"You didn't offend me, if it wasn't your intention, Omigawa. Please, get me some ink. " Mitsouko wasn't leaving before doing what she promised to. Then she heard Yamuso's quiet words. "Yes, Yamuso, though in one occasion, it was your eyes what I glanced. I'd recognize the... thirst in your eyes anywhere."

Omigawa bowed stiffly. "Of course, Kakita-sama," he said. He left the tent, and a moment later returned with writing material.
OOC: Just a short one to move things along.

She made sure the paper she was giving to the sohei group was Able to provide them supplies while in Kakita provinces, though it was quickly written and sealed. She delivered it to Omigawa, once again scanning his pale face to make sure she wouldn’t forget him as she didn’t forget Yamuso.Then, she turned towards the tent’s exit. Anyway, Omigawa, Yamuso, I’d say I’m pretty interested in sailor tales about this the mysterious “spawns of Jigoku” and whatever they may wish in my homeland. Anyone who thinks they saw, knew, or heard about it, can be made aware that Kakita Mitsouko will listen with great interest. As you know, I like to listen and make acquaintances. She smiled, but this time, her eyes didn't share the expression of her lips.

Omigawa's eyes narrowed again, and his mouth twitched. "As I told you, 'spawn of Jigoku' is just a phrase I chose. It doesn't mean anything specific. One of my monks heard a rumor about a party of mercenaries entering the Shadowlands. You now know as much about it as I do."
He leaned back against the table again as he spoke, and his hands gripped its edge tightly. "I asked you about this story merely out of curiosity, Kakita-sama," he said, "but you seem to have a more serious interest." He glared. "Is there something I should know?"

Her face was serene when she said. "Yes, Omigawa, I am always interested in such adventures and tales. In fact, they are not myth, or at least it is not if is refering to 'Lord Kakita' assault ship." She moved to the exit, and turned with a final word; in fact standing with her back against the light, so her face was obscured when she said. " Unfortunately, we haven't found what we've been looking for in our raid. But it seems we'll have to do it again, and again... until we find the traitor. We Crane are patient, and persistent... and accostumed to have what we want, in the end."

"Of that, I have no doubt," Omigawa said. "Thank you for the supplied Kakita-sama, I assure you they will be put to good use." He stood up straight, and bowed. "I wish you luck in your search."

Yamuso bowed as they Crane left. As they left, he placed his hands on the twin hilts of his blades, and took a large breath of air through his nose. "You know, we will have kill them sooner or later. "
He stood and watched as the Crane retinue moved away from the Sohei Camp, unmoving.

"They have what we're looking for, Yamuso," Thrakhath said. "Of course we'll have to kill them." He looked down at the paper in his hand and smirked. "But first, we're going to steal from them." He stuffed the papers into his sleeve for safe keeping. "Then we'll go to Benten Seido and see what we can find out."

Yamuso huffed. "I will defer to you, I just feel a little exposed is all. As much as we know they have what we are after, We would be fools to think that they don't suspect... something
As he watched, his hands flexed against his blades. "Their involvement is baffling. It makes no sense that the Crane would do this and yet, they have. "

"I'll admit, it does seem to be against their nature to run into the Shadowlands after one traitorous Cran," Thrakhath said. "Perhaps it's something personal between Alesha and the Kakita daimyo." He turned around to face the map, staring at the spot that marked Benten Seido. "Why they did it is academic at this point," he said. "Our job now is to find out where they've taken the artifact, and to retrieve it." He turned his head to face Yamuso. "Any ideas?"
