It was a small start for now, but even the smallest of beginnings could blossom into great things as he knew. One could only hope that that was the case here in this growing conflict for the realm.<br/><br/>To their benefit, they had successfully managed to take some territory, increase their armed forces, and begun construction of new facilities that had previously been the primary focus of other clans. In all that he still found the time to do a bit of artwork as well, in addition to some preliminary negotiations via letters. Recently though he had received some news that it looked like other clans were making hostile moves towards Clan Oshiro, which would delay the negotiations a bit due to the necessity of handling that crisis. He didn't feel too bad about it.<br/><br/>For the moment though he had some other things to handle, and the Lord paused to listen to the sound of combat as he neared the dojo. Training was hard at work it seemed, to ensure that the new warriors were of a proper skill level for anything that might be demanded of them.They were going to be needed, and they would have to be ready.<br/><br/>Entering the dojo, he said nothing to the combatants ad he observed the ongoing spar before walking over to where Tsukiko sat nearby. "You wished to speak with me?" he said, standing for the moment. He had some idea of what it was about, but wanted to see what she would approach first in this meeting.
