Seichiro lifted his sake cup, nodding at Zanzen-san, kinda showing him the cup before the took a sip of it. "Well, like I said, I'm not good with my arms and legs, though from what you described, it seems I took the right decision in taking part in the lore tournament. I must say, there was a lot of people in the Lore tourney. I came in third place, though. I was so close, too. I could feel it. So, why'd you decide to become a Bushi, Zanzen-san? I often wonder how my life as a Courtier or mayhaps a Shugenja might've been had I gone down those paths."

@ Scorpion Tent:
Upon Kojiro's question, Maru would shake her head. "Nothing more needn't be discussed....." she said solemnly. "Thank you Kojiro-san; thank you Naizen-san. I believe turning in would be in all of our best interests."
Naizen actually seemed put off by this. "Then I will return presently. There's some loose ends I need to take care of." He would bow to the two of you, before leaving the tent.
--------------------
@ Crab Tent:
"Don't mind if I do!" Jiro would say, stepping forth and entering the tent. He instantly saw Kaori, and bowed his head to her. "Oh, pardon me, Kaori-san. Are you feeling ill?"
She would shake her head slightly, but not taking her eyes off of the man. "I don't think this is a good time, Unicorn..."
Jiro would waggle his finger, and grin. "On the contrary, my timing is impeccable. Ide trade secret. Now, I was promised tea, I believe? I actually haven't had the luxury of tasting Crab Clan tea before, so I'm eager to see what it's like!" And with that, he would plop himself down on the nearest mat, rubbing his hands together.

@ Crab Tent:
Jiro would take the cup in hand, and drink from it with no hesitation nor fear. Though he would cough a bit afterwards. "Okay, that will put hair on my chest. You guys don't half-a** anything, do you? It's quite a bit stronger than what I'm used to..."
He would laugh modestly, rubbing the back of his head. "I, of course, mean no disrespect. I imagine this tea is a paragon amongst teas when it comes to keeping your Clanmates alert and focused."
{30 + (Free) Raise on Jiro's Etiqutte roll to show how sincere and unoffensive his comments are}
"Down to business, huh? Very well, very well. We both have something the other needs. And consequently, that thing is the very same thing. We both have, and need, Shelter."
"You wouldn't be here if you didn't know about the... accident. Kuni Raicho-sama said I was not allowed to have any assistance repairing the tent," Kaori explained plainly.
"And you'll receive none!" Jiro would explain happily. "As a gift from Shinjo Gemmei, I come bearing a spare tent for you to use. In exchange, I request lodging from the incoming storm. I wish I could request lodging for Kenichi-san as well, but... I suspect he's found a warmer place to sleep tonight."
--------------------
@ Scorpion Tent:
"... Kojiro-san..." would be all that Maru would say in response. Clutching her arms, she would turn her head.
"Goodnight..." she would say meekly, going to her own bedding, not undressing this time.
Kojiro would think about Naizen's reaction. If he was observing the lore competition, and observing what happened outside the lore competition, he probably saw the exchange between Maru, Kyumi, and Kenichi. Likewise, Kojiro has expressed concerns about Jiro and Kan, and he vocalized curiosity of the former. Whatever it is, Naizen seems intent on following up on something...

@ Crab Tent:
And Jiro would laugh. Probably more than he should have.
"Come now, Kagae-san! You proved your brilliance this night! And you even faced the dreaded psycho-b***h Sayoko in combat! What makes you think a man-hating loon like her would want me in her tent, and what makes you think I'd trust her not to gut me in my sleep? She's an abomination to our Clan, and the sooner she's put down, the easier I'll rest, that's for sure."
After blatantly disrespecting his own Clan Mate, he would very calmly drink from his tea.
"Gemmei-san is a good soul, and she means no harm to anyone. She's far more tolerant than I of Sayoko's dishonorable actions, to ends that I cannot fathom. However, after speaking with her after the Lore competition, she was willing to lend me her own spare tent that she had brought. I was averse to setting it up for myself, in fear of spurning Sayoko and having her wage a tent war against me. I've been residing under the stars the past few nights, but I don't think it will be an option tonight. Hence, why we both have something the other could use."
Curiously, he would pull out a few tea leaves from his cup, and chew on them identically to how Kagae was doing it. He was watching the Crab as he did it, so it was clearly a form of imitation.

@ Crab Tent:
Out of all the families in Rokugan's Great Clans, none have more experience dealing with foreign cultures than the Ide. Part of their training is to fit in within the society of such foreigners as seamlessly as possible, one such tactic they use is to imitate the peculiarities they observe.
Though he didn't seem to care for it as much as Kagae did. He didn't do it exactly the same, and seemed to be doing it out of principal now.
"Then you don't know Sayoko like I know her. Of her, rather. So, is it a deal?"
"But, Kuni Raicho-sama said..."
"Yes, yes, I heard the instructions the first time. You can repair your own tent at your leisure. This shouldn't be breaking any of her rules, yes?"
"I... don't think that is in the spirit of her instructions..."
"Then, if nothing else, do it to further relations between our two Clans. A debt is a debt, and I would be incredibly gracious in this regard."
Kaori would look to Kagae, clearly undecided and needing convincing, one way or the other.
