Winds of Ambition - Game Thread

"Aye, I was thinking the same thing." The vessel keeps its distance, as lights begin to shoot from the decks of the ships. Yunah quickly realises that the two small fleets are attacking each other with fire arrows. The rigging of one of the ships catches fire.
Yunah watches The Battle unfold as they sail past it from Safe Distance.

"Do You know whats this about?"
 
"True enough." Yatsebe heads into the tenshu, leaving Midori alone with only the sound of the oars rowing through the water. "You two are getting along, I see." Yatsebe's father is looking over at her with a friendly smile.
“Yes, we are.” Midori returned the smile. “I don't believe we've met before. I am Midori Hara. It's nice to meet you.” She introduced herself and politely bowed to the man.
 
'It is that involved? I've never had a servant, so I only wear things I can get in and out of myself. Well, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to practice again,' Jian smiled, as he grabbed his jacket again and put it on, not forgetting his sword either. He turned to Chitsukiko, 'Now, how about we find ourselves a cup of tea? Should we go to your room?'

@Tjf Jian asked one of the attendants to bring a pot of tea to one of their rooms.
@Mazoku A servant bows, heading to deliver the tea to Chitsukiko's room.
"Yes, the armor has many layers to protect against various threats from arrows to katanas. I wear a lighter version while I ride, and need full mobility as I handle the bow." Her main focus was as a mounted archer, not unlike the Horse Lords that Jian might recognize.

Nodding, agreeing with his suggestion. She expected most of the private rooms to be the same, so hers or his didn't matter. In her packing she had several satchels of tea leaves but allowed Jian to command one of the servants to grab a pot. If she had the time, she intended to visit the capital's markets to look for something to surprise auntie with. Jian too, since he seemed to have a taste for it.

Leading him down the flight of stairs until they came to the right section, navigating the sections until they entered into a plain cabin. Part of her packing lay on the bed, which she promptly cleaned away before offering the bed as a seat for him as she took the lone chair. Although it couldn't be called cramped, neither could it be described as its opposite.

The servants, expecting the passengers' request arrived promptly with a steaming pot and a pair of porcelain cups.

Jian looked around the cabin, and thanked Chitsukiko for making some room for him. He put down his sword next to him, and started to poor some tea into the cups for both of them. From the way he poured and smelled the aroma, it was clear he enjoyed the process as much as the tea itself. Handing one to Chitsukiko, he waited a bit since it was still very hot, 'Here. Do you enjoy tea, cousin? This is not a bad blend, though the tea I had at the little teahouse in Ryuza is more fragrant.'

"Proper preparation of tea is an important part of my training, it cultivates the mind. A little like your Tai Chi, I suppose." She smiled warmly at him, impressed by his etiquette and culture. "I'm sure that you'll find something in Hattori that will suit your tastes. Our tea is as varied as our women." Proudly boasting as she drank slowly, plotting his eventual marriage since he had rejected taking home the woman in his home town. "There's a blend of Sakura leaves, Sakuracha, we use during special occasions that we'll certainly encounter during the celebrations of the Emperor's ascension to the throne. Salty, with a floral aftertaste, and an exquisite undertone of succulent plums and cherries." Losing herself as she remembered the taste.

'I should have expected a noble lady of your standing to be knowledgeable about tea,' Jian smiled, taking a tentative sip of tea to gauge the temperature, 'Sakuracha sounds lovely, I'm very much looking forward to it in the ceremony.'
He chuckled a little, 'Though, I've never heard anyone compare tea to women. Which blend of tea would you describe yourself as?'

"We take pride in both, so why shouldn't I compare them." Huffing playfully at the suggestion. His question had her thinking before she spoke. "Gyokuro, a variety of green tea. The leaves are kept shaded for around twenty days before harvest. The taste is smoother, richer, and sweeter, than what we're drinking now." Thinking about her newly blossomed relationship with her father, only it had taken twenty-three years instead of days before he had harvested her, but the comparison felt apt. Her hand left her cup, reaching down toward her stomach, gliding a little lower before she found herself. "It takes time to properly cultivate things and relationships, patience is a virtue. I imagine that is something your monk teacher may have said too?"

'Gyokuro sounds like a blend I'd enjoy,' Jian nodded with a smile, though it was a bit unclear if he meant just the tea or Chitsukiko as well, 'It's a good choice, it describes you well.' He raised an eyebrow, as her hand went to her stomach and went even lower, not sure what thought had prompted the gesture.
'Certainly, Master Xilai was often frustrated with my impulsiveness and impatience, though he's succeeded in tempering my spirits a little,' Jian admitted, 'Did Midori have the same troubles with you?'

"Glad you think so, cousin Jian." Taking the pot, then moving over to the bed to refill his cup. She stayed there, not returning to the chair. "Life in a castle is filled with strictness and discipline, even for a child. Although I've been young and less mature, there wasn't the time to get up to mischief. As an adult, I feel freer, but I will always try my best to honor mine and auntie's relationship. She's a wonderful woman." She said somewhat dreamily, many happy memories of what had been grueling tests at the time.

"If our roles had been switched, I think I may have taken up my mother's... occupation. And stayed." Blushing, clearly, and visibly grappling with the idea. "You think you would've been as driven and ambitious if you'd been born a Yakuboo, and not met your teachers?"
 
"Mmmh!" Kyouka let out a sharp moan at the sudden pinch, licking her lips as she looks at him like a delicious meal. "Fufu. If you tear it off, I'll have to battle naked. Though, I will also have to present myself at the Kushan naked." She replied with a haughty grin, "Ahh. But then again, I may be executed if I do that." She sighed, moving away for a moment to slowly, and sensually remove her bodysuit.
"That, or the emperor will see you and make you his mistress." Shintaro chuckles, removing his own expensive clothing to reveal a toned body and immense cock. "We Yokuboo men are blessed, as you can see." Shintaro approaches Kyouka again, pushing her down towards the bed.
 
Yunah watches The Battle unfold as they sail past it from Safe Distance.

"Do You know whats this about?"
The captain grunts. "I'm no expert on the mon emblems of the noble families, but if I had to guess, I'd say that ships of the kampaku and the empress dowager are having a skirmish." The sound of screaming travels across the water, as one of the ships begins a boarding action, the crews attacking one another with swords. "A few months ago they were sailing alongside each other and shouting insults. Then, individual ships would loose arrows at each other. Now, they have small squadrons attacking each other. Soon enough, there'll be whole fleets engaged in battle." He sighs. "On the land, the situation has been mostly civil, but here on the sea? It's clear that open war is coming soon."

Kyouka's grin widens, "Heh. If that happens, I'd die of boredom. After all, no one would be taking on my challenge anymore. Since I'd either kill them, or on the off chance they win, the emperor might castrate them." She cooed, throwing her bodysuit to the side. Licking her lips as she saw Shintaro's body, "Blessing or no, it's still up to the "wielder" to show if they can use it or not." She said in a haughty tone as she lays down on the bed. Beckoning him to come closer with her finger.

Shintaro says nothing more, moving down atop the redhead to kiss her passionately, before his mouth moves to her breasts. She feels his length rub against her, before it presses forwards and he thrusts deep inside her cunt.
