<strong>"Thank you, Maseko-san."</strong>It was a bit uncomfortable having the female shugenja help him remove his armor, but Liang did his best to hide his awkwardness, though it reached an unexpected level as he turned back around to face her, his slightly downward glance catching her exposure.  The display was not the most he'd ever seen, but it was the most he'd seen from another samurai, certainly in public.  Having lingered on the inappropriate display, he cast his gaze further down, seeing the flapping of her untucked vest, and patted the front of his own armor.<strong>"I think I will leave it on until tonight, yes."</strong><br/><br/>He smiled affably, unsure how to address the situation, but the shugenja was gone before he could raise the issue with her.  As Keitaro and Shiori discussed rations, Liang walked over to Kotone, remembering that she had discreetly handled a situation earlier in Kyuden Ikoma.<strong>"Have you decided what you will be eating on this stop, Kotone-san?"</strong><br/><br/>After asking, his gaze went to Shiori and Maseko, seeing if there was more to see and attempting to casually glance.
