[Having seen the additional draft post, Shouryuu decides to take a walk. You'll find him wandering almost aimlessly around the village, looking around the shops for a suitable weapon. He's not been too worried about it up until now, but it appears he has an incredibly limited time to get himself ready

[[Uriko has a water bottle and towel wrapped over her shoulders.

She spots a guy whom she's seen before, but, dangit where. Well, no harm in poking at him!]]

Hey there! Long time no see.

[king_en]

Hello. [Shouryuu glances over at her and offers her a smile. His eyes aren't quite as bright as they should be - that smile doesn't really touch there - and he's still half-focused on the sword in hand.]

[kenpo_kitty]

[[Uriko glances at the sword, somewhat displeased at its presence.]]

Oh... are you leaving to fight too? I got to go once.

[king_en]

Yes. [He looks down at the sword before he looks up at her.] I understand that you can't refuse when you've been named. What is it like out there? [He hasn't really been here long enough to know.]

[kenpo_kitty]

From what I remember... it sucked.

I don't really handle people with weapons very well... and on top of that, the people we were fighting had invisible weapons. I only came out with a couple cuts here and there but...

Well... let's just say it's definitely not going to be fair.

[king_en]

[There's a snort of a laugh.]

War very rarely is.

[kenpo_kitty]

Well, yeah... fighting in general is. It just seemed rather... unbalanced for you, y'know? Me... unable to use weapons while they've got ones I can't see.

At least I've got the whole cat-like reflex thing working for me. [[She emphasizes with a fist pump]]

[king_en]

That's good. [He smiles.] And I see you came out of it well enough.

[kenpo_kitty]

Oh totally! It was like... a year ago or somethin.

[[She kneels down a bit... more like squatting]] So, you got any like... cool abilities or something to help you out there?

[king_en]

Sort of. [He laughs.] A little gift from my kirin.

[kenpo_kitty]

Your Kirin? Is that like... your girlfriend back home or somethin?

[king_en]

[He laughs at the idea, and kind of wishes Enki could hear himself described as that.]

No, it's a holy animal.

[kenpo_kitty]

Oh! Never heard of anything like that. But, same goes for Zoanthropes.

[[She laughs a little too]] It'd be funny if I were suddenly considered a holy animal.

[king_en]

[He laughs as well, shakes his head a little.]

He gave me my kingdom. Amongst other things.
