"We will take these bandits to the headquarters of the Thunder Guard." replied the gunso. "From what you say, we will have them questioned, and then they can be punished in a few days."<br/><br/>"I do not know the name Silence, but we shall check our records. It may be this name is known. As for guards, I do not believe the Crane would appreciate Thunder Guards showing up without good cause. I have seen Kakita swordsmanship, and have no wish to make them think we think they cannot protect themselves. Besides, with the festival tonight, every guard will be on the streets. The Crab Caves can be a bad place at the best of times, but tonight, with sake flowing like water, we'll need to be more attentive than ever. Perhaps that was what your bandit meant by a thousand screams. There will be plenty of trouble tonight, drunken peasants brawling and such."<br/><br/>The gunso does not appear particularly worried by any of this.<br/><br/>((Akane and Emi would return about this point))
