"Such elegent words, perhaps they could be taken to the Gaijin at our borders. I'm sure those at the front lines would welcome the chance for civil conversation."

"It is a great thing to recognize the importance of being on the front lines of the battle with the Gaijin threat... especially here, so far away from such dangers..."

You again state great wisdom! I agree that an imprudent samurai might find their dangers ithrough words rather than deeds. With your great experience, perhaps you will provide us such an example.

"The finest thing about these Sadane games is that they offer not just diversion but education. It pleases me greatly to see so many Samurai here who wish to educate themselves, and demonstrate so clearly what form of education they seek"

"Thank you, Doji-san for bringing to life the wisdom of the Little Teacher. 'When a simple man learns he is a sage, when a sage learns he is a simple man.' I'm sure these words are kept close your heart at all times."

Ichiro just sits and sips his tea as all the compliments fly. He finishes his cup and places it down.
"Toku-san, I must thank you for the witty banter you and I have shared this gathering. If your sword is as sharp and quick as your tongue then the Gaijin at the gates have much to worry about. You serve the Empire well, even here.
"Doji-san I must also thank you and yours for this grand Court. My education has come along splendidly. I do hope that after Winter Court is over that I can continue to stay in the land of your family to enjoy the wonders and beauties that it holds. Your long pauses of silence I will take as a yes, I sincerely hope."

"The honor has been mine, Shosuro-sama. Even with the wolves at the gate there is always time for a civil game amoung like-minded samurai. The contest may be almost at an end, but I will take the memories and the lessons I have gained and keep them close to my heart. The Winter Court ends soon and I'm sure during the next we will all be speaking of how our combined might ended the Gaijin menece."

Ichiro nods his head in respect to the Toku's comment.
" Too true. No one knows what anyone means with intent. All I know is that my means are intended to help the Empire as best as I can. As are yours Toku-san. Either way we both strive to honor the Empire by helping it in its time of need.
"I think we can both respect that truth."
Ichiro turn towards the judges and bows his head to each one in respect saving Yushahime for last. The bow, for her, just a little lower than the Otomo judges. He then goes back to another cup of tea.

"Indeed, Shosuro-sama. Some are chosen to be bushi, others are chosen to serve in the courts, still others are chosen by the kami. Each of us has a distinct duty to the empire. It would hardly be using my talents to the best to ask me to create a painting just the same as it would be a waste to ask a courtier to serve as a hohei. Though, the final choice for what we will be used for lies with our lords, of course."

The Tortoise looks out from the table where he sits while at court...
"Truly there is a place for everyone. While this court is now ending, may you all have safe journeys home, profitable reports to your clans, and most importantly... more opportunities to enjoy this fine company of samurai in the future. I for one look forward to it. Should you be in Kyuden Kasuga, I will make sure to make special preparations to ensure you are treated well and have access to all it has to offer..."
And with that, the diminutive courtier bows and steps away.

" Thank you Kasuga-san. I will endeavor to travel there when the time permits. Also know that you should be applauded as well for your insightful comments. You have done your Clan proud."
