The words of Doji-san.  Would cause Asahina Meiwha to look up and over towards Hashimoto-san.  Tossing the scorpion a questioning look.   Why he had not produced the tsangusuri.   As she clutched the ofuda of earth, to call upon the earth kami for a jade strike.  For the expectant encounter with the oni again.<br/><br/>However, the look is one of distrust.  Is he serving the imperial court and the emerald magistrate.  Or is he serving another.  Most notably his own clan.  And what of the other.  Her gaze flip towards the new comer.  Then towards Shosuro-san.  Why were they always a step behind. And why is it always that the one leading them is a scorpion.   Was it just circumstance, or was something more sinister at play within the magistrates.<br/><br/>She will have to tell Hanzo-san her thoughts.  The one person she trusted the most within the group.
