				The lands of the Crane never lacked for beauty.&nbsp; Indeed, if any could find flaw with the picturesque landscape of rolling hills and gently swaying foliage their lips were forever kept closed.&nbsp; So it was that the travel to Tsuma could be seen as a pleasant one and a quiet diversion from the bustling life of a figure soon to join the ranks of he samurai.&nbsp; Time would pass quickly enough for the political maneuvering of the many families gathered.&nbsp; Elders would argue and petition for the lives of the youth, while the young would jostle for position and notice.&nbsp; An age-old cycle that would play out next year as it would play out in just a simple day.&nbsp; <br><br>A bird quietly passed away the time with song somewhere in the distance.&nbsp; Imperial roads were well maintained here with frequent patrols so there was little to be concerned with regarding attack.&nbsp; This was the land that the Emperor envisioned and the one a small group of would-be samurai were blessed to enjoy this day.&nbsp; An odd assortment really as a Dragon, a Lion and a Crab now took up the pathway to Tsuma.&nbsp; Each had come from a different land but in the way of so many things now found their path and so Fate shared even if for a brief time.&nbsp; Ahead of them the road stretched with the fluttering of many flags already seen in the distance.&nbsp; Each of their Clans was to be found there bickering and fighting, but for now each could enjoy their company without judgement.<br><br>A grunting noise could be heard just over a rise.&nbsp; That grunting complicated with a simple curse and the sound of flesh striking flesh.&nbsp; Another curse and the sound of wood coming to a crash could be heard and then followed by lazy hoofbeats moving away.<br><br>“You foul animal I will sell you to a starving fishermen for the promise of dinner at his house that night!”<br>

But besides that he was curious about others who accompanied him. Both socially talking, telling stories but one ear also keep in mind store details about their skills and training. As they all will be competing in tournament. Of course he noted weaknesses if any but not plan exploit them, just be aware if there will be chance for teamwork as sometimes some challenges as such. Also who knows what long term future will bring. He measures strenghts and weaknesses instinctive level thanks his training as future commander to be.<br><br><em>"Albeit depending where to I marry I may be quite limited promotion wise or even army leading."</em><br><br>Akodo had managed buy time not slap down the marriage plans into fruition, not very least until he has participated in tournament where his future lord will be chosen which he is going to serve. As lord may have opinion or two as well.<br><br>The serenity of Crane lands have calmed those worries, until serenity was broken by noises and curses. With gentle tap with his both feet his horse flanks quickly urged the steed climb over the rise to see what's going on there. Albeit noises gave some ideas but better confirm than assume.

				The crest of the rise gave way to a scene that many might find comical if they were not victim to the situation.&nbsp; A simple seeming man was wrapped in a kimono of blue flowers or at least the kimono had been blue.&nbsp; Currently mud now caked half of the kimono while white powder covered the other half.&nbsp; The target of the man’s fury seemed to be a rather stubborn and unamused steed that was now wandering lazily away.&nbsp; Already the man had resorted to throwing items but they had little consequence to the animal’s behavior.&nbsp; Soon the man was out of breath and his generous frame eased back onto the cart the animal had been hauling.<br><br>On seeing the young men coming over the crest he immediately stood as if ready to flee.&nbsp; The mud at his feet thought otherwise and he was quickly deposited back to the ground.&nbsp; He came sputtering to his feet grasping at a stick in his hand.<br><br>“Who goes there?&nbsp; Who would come upon a man at his lowest!?”<br>

I cannot...."<br><br>But after couple second, he bursts into short chuckle on the sight. Laughing and smiling! A break in his composure! But he manages return it, best as he can, as man attention turns to him and he rides slowly closer and speaks; "I am Akodo Akachi, I came investigate source of the sounds coming beyond line of sight to see is there trouble. Do you desire help rein in your mount?" Doing his best politely offer help to the poor man, miserable as experience it is he shows all due respect to the elderly, despite their status.
