[ he sits at the living room table with a large red bowl of sake (yes, bowl. not cup) seemingly musing to himself. ]How anticlimactic. I had expected a battle yet one never came. I find myself desiring more, especially without Shingen-dono to entertain me. Though in retrospect, it is a relief to see the missing return and see this land safe once

Hm. It is interesting, having no battles here. There is always the option of sparring.

... [Though, yeah.]

It would feel more like home with the snow.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed there is. There have been battles in the past, mostly against supernatural enemies. This month, however, not a single battle surfaced.

[ yeah indeed.... ]

It indeed would. Echigo is covered by snow every winter. How beautiful it is.

[ownpower]

Mm. It is strange, not having enemies to fight. At the same time, it can be relaxing.

Kamui is the same. All year around there is snow. Suddenly having none... it's very strange.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed. There are times of peace in this land, often welcomed as the times of battle are so unusual. Not everyone here is a fighter. It is most difficult for them.

Echigo does have snowless springs which bring the flowers and the cherry trees, yet a winter without snow would be most unusual.

Strange, yes... but I'm thankful we were not forced to fight.

[But he's curious and intrigued.] It's snowed here before?

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed. There is no need for senseless bloodshed.

[ Kenshin nods ] It has. The year prior brought a snowy winter.

I'm rather glad I did not have to fight the missing ones. They could have been those who were close to us.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed. That turn of events would be most unfortunate; a terrible means to lose allies.

[6coined]

Yes. It's a cruel thing the island has done.

And I cannot shake the feeling that someone was responsible for this. Do you think it'll happen again Lord Kenshin?

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed I do. There is something about this place, something which causes the misery and battles alike. Not simply a curse, as the locals deem it. Something perhaps more severe.
