Orin

Take off the Iga uniform and my shoulders feel lighter. I never knew light could feel this cold.

• Hachibe'Course a traitor's shoulders are light. Nothin' left on 'em to carry.
  OrinOld man, is that why your back's bent like that, from carrying so much?
• JintaSenior... if you're cold, you could just come back.
  OrinStill so sweet, this one. That's the most dangerous thing about you.

The tea in this camp is bitter. Wonder if I'd lose my head for saying I miss the barley tea from the Iga charcoal hut.

• Kamono DogenIt won't. I'll simply have barley tea served starting tomorrow instead.
  OrinThat's the scarier answer, you know that?
• JintaWe've still got a little barley left! I could bring some... I guess that's not allowed.
  HachibeNot allowed.

A picture of my student. On her first day of seduction arts I taught her how to rest her chin like that. I won't ask who she uses it on these days.

• KirimaruShe never once used it on me.
  OrinI taught you to use a blade, remember?
• SojoboTake that picture down.
  OrinMy, the great tengu leaves comments now.
  KurobaMaster just came in and walked out three times, caw!!
