The Otomo, of course, hadn't answered the question of when to begin, though the question hadn't been directed at him.  Now that the door was closed, it was just the five of them, Shiori holding the map and plotting the location of the delivery they were expected to receive, and Keitaro and Maseko looking at the map as well.  Liang, having taken a moment to compose himself now that the ordeal was over, stepped closer as well.  He casually glanced at the map to get a rough idea of the meeting point, but it made little sense to him.  He was relieved when Shiori seemed to make sense of it, though a small amount of anxiety descended on him as Shiori suggested they leave immediately.<br/><br/>When Kotone asked when to begin, Liang looked around expectantly, noticing that it was the other Lion who answered.  He briefly, mentally, corrected himself, then disregarded the correction.  He wasn't actually sure if he was prepared to travel immediately.  He had a week's worth of food on him, but nowhere near enough for the distance they were going to be traveling.<br/><br/>When Maseko spoke up, Liang nodded, a small sigh escaping.  He was glad that he hadn't needed to be the one to ask the question.  Like Maseko, he lacked hunting skill as well as food for the trip, though despite not having much coin, he expected that he'd have enough for the journey.  He smiled gratefully at her as she made her way out of the room, looking back around at the rest to see their reaction.  Kotone proved a poor source, as she immediately excused herself as well.  Alone with the two Lions, he nodded to them awkwardly.<strong>"Did either of you bring enough rice for the journey?"</strong>he asked.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Kotone</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The arrangement of the coins speaks clearly.  "Things will not be as they seem."</div></div>
