@ Unusual Shop:
"I do not, sir. Rokugani horses can run around as much as 25 koku, and aren't a very affordable resource to men of my trade. I'm sure you can find someone who might be willing to trade or sell one if you asked around, however."
He went to take the koku to make change if the Crane bushi seemed intent on the matter.
If so, Zanzen, 1 koku gets turned into 4 bu, 7 zeni, and a trio of bamboo poles. And 1 point of honor loss for being seen conducting trade in public, as the items being purchased are not viewed as a traditional gift in the public's eyes.

@ Shrine to Bishamon:
Akodo Sakuya approves of Seichiro's level of devotion. At least, that's the impression Seichiro has after his meditation.
The monk is gone now, though probably not too far away. Seichiro is alone in the shrine as he becomes aware of the world around him, and night was upon him.
Anything more either of you wish to do?

Her shopping complete, Kyumi would think on what she wanted to do next. Internally, she debated whether to just go straight back to the inn or... Something else came to her mind. She never found out what exactly had gone on with those ashigaru earlier. She certainly wasn't feeling confidant enough to ask Toritaka about it, and... Considering the vibes she'd gotten from the men earlier, she had a feeling that even the jr. magistrate didn't learn the truth of the matter. However, if she was lucky, she knew of someone else who she could turn to for answers.
"Hold onto those for now. You can head back to the inn, if you like. There's still something I need to take care of..." Kyumi would tell Omi, referring to the sake she had just purchased. The attendant would bow her head in compliance.
"And if your companions ask about you, what should I tell them? Is it not getting rather late in the day?" Omi asked, perhaps a little critically."Forgive me, but... It is one thing to say that you are uncertain of your arrival. It is another to allow that to serve as an excuse to arrive during the late hours of the night."
Kyumi's cheeks would begin to puff out at her attendant's attempt to chastise her. "I only have one or two more things to do! They won't have to wait too long! You can tell them that I have gone off to commune with the kami."
The attendant would obediently bow. "As I said, My lady... Forgive me. I merely wished to remind you of the time." She would quickly head back to the inn, before she inadvertently goaded her mistress into a tantrum.
Kyumi would quietly grumble to herself as she set off to find a proper place to commune with the kami. It would take only a minute of searching before she found an appropriate spot. There, she began the rituals that she'd memorized long ago to speak with the kami of air.

@ Shugenja Tiemz!
The very air around Kyumi would flow around her, like a strong current of water, except exceptionally gentle. The air would caress her excitedly, exporting its answers into Kyumi's mind.
Quote: "Oh, I know, I know! The two people I see every day! They come and go and come and go, but they are always this when they come back!"
Then, Kyumi would have an odd sensation that would probably catch her a bit off guard... but only slightly, considering her clan. She would feel a sudden welling of pride in her heart.
Quote: "They like to hide this, but I'm good at finding! Can we play a finding game? I like games!"
The wind would whirl around each of the flowers, making them dance with apparent elation as it awaited Kyumi's acceptance.

@ Shugenja Tiemz!
As Kyumi wound get up, the zephyristic air kami would practically push her along before zooming ahead. It would constantly dart forth, circling back to tease Kyumi and ensure she was keeping pace as fast as a human could, then escape her touch to fly forward once more.
Light was becoming a rare commodity now, but it didn't stop Kyumi from navigating by focusing her spiritual awareness on the kami instead. That is, until the air kami stopped.
Quote: "Hello! Look! Look! Hello! They hide in here!"
the kami would announce to Kyumi, hovering before the door of a warehouse. Kuda Mura was a big village, but it was still just a village, so it appeared to be one of the few such buildings the settlement had, probably to store supplies for the community's need. It is by no means a warehouse of the abandoned variety - however, no one appears to be 'home' right now.

@ Shugenja Tiemz: "W-wait a moment, Kami-sama!" Kyumi would call out to the air kami. It'd be too late, as, by the time she'd spoken, the air kami was already inside the warehouse.
She'd look up to where she'd saw the kami enter the building, and would look around to see if there wasn't a way to get up. There was... A drain pipe that went up high enough. However, it was obvious that it wasn't made for curious shugenja to climb. Still... If she was careful, she might be able to make it up there.
She'd take a quick look around, if only just to insure that she didn't have an audience should she make a fool of herself. Once the coast was clear, she'd take a breath, gather her courage, and begin her climb.

@ Shugenja Tiemz! Lioness Shenanigans:
Climbing atop the empty and unsteady rain barrel, Kyumi would begin her arduous climb up the warehouse's drain pipe. She definitely was making progress, when...
*SNAP!* *ting!* *Crrreeeeeaaaaaa*
Her heart would skip a beat as the drainpipe would become unhinged by the excess weight it was not meant to carry, and found herself moving farther and farther from the wall, clutching the tube for dear life!
As the unwanted ride would come to its climax rather suddenly, Kyumi would find herself:
1.) Crashing suddenly and painfully against the ground, taking 1d10 damage. 2.) Landing in a rain barrel of uncomfortably warm water across the way. 3.) Losing her grip, and falling into the empty rain barrel beneath her, getting stuck! 4.) As above, and the barrel rolls down a hill. 5.) Crashing through the wall of the building across the way, which leads to a large peasant family finishing their prayers around a table and about to eat their dinner! 6.) Crashing through the wall of the building across the way, which leads directly into the jail cell of the two ashigaru. 7.) Crashing through the wall of the building across the way, which is a barn, and gets her kimono ruined in the cow stall she lands in. 8.) Falling right on Kaiu Ieyasu as he walks by on his way home for the evening. 9.) Falling right on Omi as she walks by, looking for her mistress. 10.) Falling right on Toritaka Tokugawa as he walks by.
Kaiu Ieyasu is an older man, in his early 40's, with a very wide build. Someone who would be REALLY buff if he worked out, but he did not and it's all turned to flab. He has a very stern face with piercing eyes, big lips, and a large scraggly beard, down to his chest. And he's currently beneath our beloved shugenja, and is NOT happy about it.
