Liang, apparently, gives his name.  Shiori head tilts curiously to the side ever so slightly, a thoughtful frown on her lips.  What was the significance of that name?  Besides it not being a major clan family, of course.  She continues to speculate as the Ikoma leaves the room.<br/><br/>Shiori pushes the thoughts aside as the Otomo speaks once more.  A tiny thrill goes through her quickly suppressed as premature.  It seemed unlikely that every little group of samurai that was being sworn to the Owl had received little duties like these.  Did this mean that they were somehow noteworthy, or was it merely an instance of being the closest group at hand?  Too early to say.  Still, as Shiori returns the Otomo's bow, her athletic body almost seems suffused with energy.  "Yes, Otomo-sama."  She says, her voice strong.  It was good to have a duty, even just minor ones like these.  Still displaying that same eager energy, Shiori steps forward, picking up map and message, unfolding the map to study.  She will allow others to study the map with her, but if others' request the items, she hands them over only after giving them a deep frown.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">History roll to see what she knows of Liang's stated family<br/>At 2015-09-02 20:46:35, Matsu Shiori (uid: 2992) rolls: 3d10k2o10 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=79744)<br/></div></div>
