[ Gracia's been staring at something for the past few minutes in complete silence and mind-numbing awe, with her mouth open just a tad and her neck stretched out - whatever left the red

[Lalalala just wandering around-

Blink.]

This place really is full of different animals...

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia glances at the newcomer and smiles widely. ]

Yes, there are! Have you seen a Chocobo already? [ She moves to the side to proudly show the boy her blue baby ♥ E-Err, not literally! Not with that size! ]

[heroistics]

No. I've seen Pokemon, but not these before! So they're called Chocobos?

[kagayakashi]

Pokemon. . .Ahh, like Pikachu, Red's friend! [ She nods. He must know him too! ]

Yes. My chocobo is named Feng Huang! And I'm Gracia. Who are you? [ She smiles. ]

[6coined]

*The first place Yukimura visits after he recovers is the stables. He had heard much about it from the doctor at the clinic and wanted to check out the horses they housed. So only in his six-coin printed kimono and black pants, he wonders into the stable.

What he didn't expect is a giant bird. Big enough to be a horse.

Well whatever it is that girl seemed pretty friendly with it.*

I-Is he a friend of yours?

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia turns back to reply to the sudden newcomer, eager to share her newfound pet and friend to whoever passed by, when she was met with quite a familiar face. Her smile did not quite reach her lips as she paused and stared at him - there was no armor, he didn't have his weapon with him. . . yet his aura, his face, his presence was unmistakable. The redhead took a tentative step back. ]

You're the warrior that fought for Hideyoshi at Oshi Castle. . .

[6coined]

*Oshi castle.

The two words snap him out of his stupor and his expression visibly changes. There are glints in his eyes - a look he often wore around adversaries. It's not exactly intimidating, but rather intensely focused.*

You were at the Siege of Oshi? *She didn't look like a Hojo ...* My name is Yukimura Sanada of Ueda.

Who might you be?

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia is on the defensive when he stares at her like that - she is defiant and looks back with caution. She fought this man once, and defeated him. If it came down to it, she could do it again too.

But there were so many things unknown to her yet; first and foremost, he didn't seem to know who she was. That could only mean he was from a different time as she was, and that was the only explanation that made any sense in Vatheon. When she thought about that, she visibly relaxes, but only slightly so.

Still, she responds carefully and quietly, yet with conviction. ]

I was. That was the last battle I was in before I came here. Yukimura. . .[ Ahh, at last his name and title dawned on her. The great warrior of the Takeda. She may have been sheltered, but she knew the famed generals of her time well-enough. ]

I'm Hosokawa Gracia. [ A pause. ] Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter.

Fire hose might be easier than trying to wrangle that thing into a tub.

[Axel's been standing there listening a moment... because he enjoys spying on people in plain sight.]

[kagayakashi]

[ NINJA SKILLS - Gracia was caught unawares, her silence broken by an unfamiliar voice, but still, when she recovers she offers him a friendly smile. At his words however, the redhead tilts her head in curiosity. ]

A fire hose? Ahh, what's that?

[got_it_memorizd]

S'a... [He presses his lips together, then makes a wide gesture with his hands.] A big tube that shoots water. People use it when buildings are on fire. But it kinda kills the joke now that I've explained it.

[kagayakashi]

I see! That must be such a big help when something is on fire during a battle...[ Gracia tilts her head slightly, in confusion. ]

You were telling a joke? I didn't notice! Tell me again!

[echigo_wargod]

[ Why Kenshin was in the stables isn't exactly known, however, there he is. He hasn't seen Gracia since before she fell asleep. he recognizes the creature because of Selphie, though he hadn't seen a blue one before. ]

Good morning, Gracia.

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia greets him brightly and approaches him as he comes close. ]

Ken! Good morning! Do you have someone to visit here in the stables?

[echigo_wargod]

Not in particular. Selphie has introduced me to several, though I simply find the Chocobo quite fascinating.

[kagayakashi]

[ She moves to the side, showing off her own Chocobo. ]

How about I introduce you to Feng Huang? He's friendly, you can go ahead and touch him if you'd like! [ Said Chocobo harks and opens its beak, as if yawning. ]
