Makoto opened the door to the sake house and entered quietly, gauging those who would be her fellow compatriots. A scorpion, a carp, a dragon, and a unicorn... Quite the diverse cast. Though she couldn't lie, as she was slightly upset at the time. She was tracking the whereabouts of her brother when she got the summons, at least a lead she hoped would take her to her brother. Nevertheless, she was Duty bound to obey and follow as she took her brother's position with the Magistrate. With a careful mask in place, she took a calming breath and bowed to them in greeting.<br/><br/>"Doji Makoto greets her fellow magistrates", with courtesy observed, she took her place and enjoyed a glass of sake that was poured for her. She did have to be careful about not drinking too much unfortunately, a very careful vice after all. Still, with a taste of alcohol reaching her tongue, she did relax a bit and let her frustrations release.<br/><br/>Who knows, maybe her fellow bushi could help her find him as they come from various lands. Jin did not seen to be in Crane Lands any more..<br/><br/>"hmmm... Adequate", she said, looking to her saucer. It wasn't the best, but it worked.
