But now he stayed in tavern, enjoying some tea alongside with his personal bodyguards. Tavern pass is far too narrow and treacherous for any armies to travel, only lone traders with single mount carrying trade goods can travel road fairly safely. If not count for potential bandits that is.<br/><br/>He had send messenger early to leader of clan Aka Ka, tell place and time for a meeting but contents not told in detail. Clan is violent, perhaps bit unpredictable as well, but Takeda believes he can make fruitful bargain for both parties involved if clan leader would show up in dawn of era of war, as war is surely coming as emperor has died and other clans had gathered their banners. Aka Ka other hand has banners always in hand, always ready for a battle and what he has heard may thirst even for bit conquest in coming era.<br/><br/>Musing on things he takes sip from tea while minstrel continues to play instrument (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujzMHLac404) in corner of the tavern.
