Seal that bleeding stump, he can still work on as deck boy with one hand!"</strong>Discreet as sailors groping had been, Takeda had seen it and what sailors had been up to with Chie's body. So when she drew steel and her slight shift on pose was for spiraling cut and not forward thrust, he had remained relaxed as royal guard he had been taught read body language in mere eye blink and predict foe's movements. Of course over years his own reflexes in body have dulled but his mind is even sharper than in his youth.<br/><br/>As Chie offered katana back, soldier took it back and Takeda continues; "What you plan do now lady Nishizu? You still got noble blood as ambassador's daughter but at moment emperor is dead and land is in chaos upon his demise and great clans claim territories left and right. It may be possible your family lands and estate may had been claimed over by someone. In sense your father's duties became nothing with absence of emperor so your not bound to his duties either and I haven't heard any duties signed for him from magistrate, which is pretty much in chaos as well as rest of the country." In background sailor with stump screams as hot frying pan was used to burn and clean wound close in his stump, rest sailors pinning man down so military medicine man can do his job.
