Sabu kept his eyes to Michi's until she looked at the next of their companions. He wondered if the rumors were true that one could never read a scorpion's eyes unless it was too late. He judged the woman to be unconfrontational, if not entirely proper in her stance, which never bothered him. The strange gaijin ways his clan was used to saw to his easy acceptance of others.<br/><br/>He considered his companions for a moment, having an idea on who would become the natural leader among themselves and to others' perceptions. It would suit the group's On if they could decide upon and stick to said decision. Whether his guess would turn out correct, he would ensure that his role would foster greatness and growth for the group as a whole. Ide's blessing to Rokugan would be his to them.<br/><br/><span style="color: Purple">"I'll see that our travel papers are in order. If we're going to spend an evening here, I can think of a few errands to run.

His expression was warm and inviting, with a slight hint of teeth when he smiled at his companions. His palms smoothed over his kimono until he was satisfied that it looked as good as it did when he entered the room earlier this day.<br/><br/><span style="color: Purple">"I may visit the temple and see if any of the monks require letters to be delivered on the way. I am certain that such is not unreasonable and valuable to our efforts for peace."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
