There was no getting around it - she didn't want to be here. Oh, she was honoured to be chosen to attend, but it was her Lord's wish, not hers. Perhaps that's what duty was, but she didn't truly believe that.<br/><br/>She just wished.. she wished for so much, but she also knew that if this hadn't been her destiny, she wouldn't be here now. There was obviously more that was meant for her than a life behind temple walls, even though there was nothing she wanted more. Even now, years after she'd begun her shugenja training, her mind went back to that place... back to Amaterasu and found solace there.<br/><br/>She knew she should keep her wits about her, though. These were not the safe family lands of the Agasha. She was not among her own family, and the future was bound to be full of surprises. Hana didn't know how to prepare herself for that except to forge on and take each situation as it occurred, one step at a time. Perhaps that would be enough.<br/><br/>Shiro Matsu was beautifully-decorated with its fluttering banners and within the city, paper lanterns. It leant the city a festive atmosphere, and raised Hana's hopes that this may be an enjoyable occasion after all. She entered the city on horseback, riding the dark mare, Airi. The horse was not hers; she belonged to her Lord, who truly didn't deserve such a fine animal, though she would never say such a thing. It was uncharitable to think it, but no one was perfect.<br/><br/>She stabled her horse at an inn, arranged a room and secured her possessions. From there, Hana approached the castle on foot. She would likely be staying at the Matsu castle for the wedding, but it was good to have options, especially when so many guests would be attending. There were several other people she noticed who stood out among the largely Lion population - one of whom wore the colours of a Crab.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC: Dice Rolls - Elliquiy Dice Roller</div><div class="spoiler_body">Int/Lore (Theology) 4k3<br/><br/>OOC: If I've done any of these wrong, please let me know.<br/><br/>Roll Result: AmberStarfire rolled: 4d10, keeping 3 dice, extra dice at 10<br/>Comment: IntLore Theology for L5R Dice Explode<br/>Result: 2, 1, 9, 1,<br/>Total: 12 (Met TN)<br/><br/>Int/Lore (History) 3k3 (I don't have the skill so I assumed non-exploding dice)<br/><br/>Roll Result: AmberStarfire rolled: 3d10, keeping 3 dice<br/>Comment: Int Lore History for L5R Dice Not Exploding and No Lore History Skill<br/>Result: 9, 1, 3,<br/>Total: 13 (Didn't meet TN)<br/><br/>Awareness/Courtier 4k2<br/><br/>Roll Result: AmberStarfire rolled: 4d10, keeping 2 dice, extra dice at 10<br/>Comment: Awareness Courtier for L5R Dice Exploding<br/>Result: 6, 10, 6, 5, 10, 9,<br/>Total: 20 (+ the result of 2 dice exploding.
