The Ikoma had paused upon Liang's oath, his gaze upon the Otomo, but eventually he lowered his head and began transcribing the information.  Once Kotone had sworn, the Otomo glanced over and waited for the Ikoma to finish.<strong>"Thank you, Ikoma-san,"</strong>the Otomo said.  The Ikoma nodded and rose, moving to the back of the room and exiting.  Once he was gone, the Otomo gathered some papers.<strong>"There are two minor tasks that are to be completed before you arrive in Hisashiyama Mura.  The first is to receive delivery of a package, and then bring that package to your daimyo.  I have for you a map of the delivery location.  The second is a message that is to be delivered to Doji Harukiin the village of Tochigi."</strong>Both the map and message are placed on the corner of the table.<br/><br/>The Otomo stood and bowed slightly.
