"We train extensively with the Shugenja of our clan.  To the point that our more experianced bushi can make it easier or more difficult for a hugenja to cast their spells.  I do not disrepect the Kami or the way of the Shugenja, but the last Emerald magistrate and the Shugenja Yojimbo were killed in a Carriage so quickly the Shugenja couldn't cast a spell.  That means you might be able to get out a cry of help and be dead before I could get the door open.  Until the culprits are found, none of us can afford the luxury of true privacy."  Hanzo would say, trying to weather her shots at him without retorting.  He didn't think she was specficly mad at him, the oni attack had everyone on edge.<br/><br/>"I have trust in your skills as a Shugenja.  I just also have to trust in the skill of those that might try to kill us.  I've never let you be out of sword strike range from myself and now that we've been attacked by an oni, I can't change that now.
