<strong>Mirumoto Ichirou<br/>Tagged: Tetsuya, Yukiko, Riel, Misaki, Ayano, Hachi</strong><br/><br/>Ichirou considered Tetsuya's words, "Certainly, I have nothing against accompanying Yukiko-san to speak with the lord here, but since I've stated my intent to accompany Ayano-san to the sake works, it behooves me to follow through on my words.  Once I've been properly impressed by it all though, and can craft the appropriate praise, then I will make my way to visit the lord of the estate.  I am a Mirumoto bushi after all, the lord would be pleased if a fellow family member was filled with a sort of personal investment in protecting this place."<br/><br/>"You flatter me," Ichirou smiled at Riel, "and were it not for the fact that you're yojimbo would split me in two with her blade, I would repay those words in kind.  Instead, I will have to rely on your imagination as to what clever compliment I would deliver to you if I could."<br/>Ichirou inclined to his head respectfully to Misaki, to show that he meant his words in light jest and that he was not making fun of her.<br/><br/>Moving his horse to catch up with Ayano and Hachi, he nodded at both of them, "Onto the sake works then."
