He took in a deep breath as the answer was complicated and he hoped his honesty would help her come to terms with her new status.
"You do not have to ask me to be honest with you Satomi." he smirked to her and shrugged "For a time I did think that and it took me some time to get over and the wisdom of some Dragon monks to accept it, but i realized I lost that destiny myself on the wall. As you said to me there is greater use for Rokugan for some of us then dying on the wall. You were also a very good general, that made it easier too." he smirked to her. "This path I have now. It is far more complicated then one could ever imagine. Which is ironic since I would have been content with just being a beserker."
He cleared his throat some and got up to pour some water from a pitcher. He dipped his finger into the glass and rubbed it between his fingers with his eyes closed and brought it up to his nose to smell it before taking a small sip and sitting back down after offering her one for himself.
"I do not harbor any ill will towards you, quite the opposite really." hoping he had answered her question satisfactorily.

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat-scorpion.jpg Neither do I, Izo. Just genuine admiration for who you are. I just can imagine some things you perhaps have gone through, but I can't truly know how is to be you. However I can say it's inherent to you… Do you imagine a berseker doing this thing with the water as automatically as you did? However being what you are doesn't exclude being a good general as well. If it's what you want, there's still time. I'm sure Rohiteki-sama would love to have someone like you commanding troops, or even an entire army. She said, mentioning the hatamoto of the clan for all she knew. I too discovered that there is many ways to serve the Empire, and as you said I just need to comply with my destiny.It of course implied to be truly a Scorpion, something she had been reluctant to do until now. If the facts raised by Asako Chisato and reinforced by her champion were true, she was the daughter of a "Junshin", and maybe it was in the blood…

raised an eyebrow at that. Someone that admires him? he wouldn't wish that nonsense on anyone! Still he felt it was quite the compliment coming from her even if the rest of her words elicited a soft chuckle.
"Lots of learning involved, the type that are hard learned." trying not to set his jaw a bit as he said it before taking another deep breath "10 years ago I would have jumped at the chance. Now if I need troops I just commandeer some Seppun and I would much rather just be in charge of a small group of trustworthy, competent individuals much as I have the last couple of years." as she referenced being a Scorpion he smirked.
"If the Tao and the Mantis have proven anything, destiny is what lies in the heart, to be wielded by and shaped by man."

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat-scorpion.jpg Very well, so be it. Hoping he was satisfied with the conversation she fell silent for a moment, if nothing else but for try and listen if the hunt to an imaginary intruder was over. It was hard to tell,as the rain was steady and muffled much of the noises coming from outside, at least in this part of the castle. You always were more literate than me.The Tao, uhn?

Watched her as she fell silent wondering if he should say anything before resting back and closing his eyes.
"I read whatever I come across. Comes in handy when dealing with nobles that assume all Crab are club wielding maniacs and you prove you know more about something then them. they get terribly upset." he chuckled a bit. "You were always smarter then me though. I have just used what few stones I have up here to a very specific effect."
He smiled to her. "Though i get the impression your not entirely sure what to talk about."

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat-scorpion.jpg She chuckled softly, imagining shocked faces of Crane artisans and Phoenix scholars, dealing with such a type as Izo. Yes, but I am sure you know what you want to talk about. She said, mimicking his movements.

He chuckled as well, of course he did. They had ten years to catch up on and hopefully they would have the time to speak about all their adventures in due time.
He slid his hand into hers unless she resisted. "I do not wish their to be a tension between us Satomi. You said yourself we do not do the rumors about us justice." he couldn't help but smile again at the words and the ultimate truth they conveyed.

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat-scorpion.jpg Finally convinced the Seppun wasn't going to arrest them, she said, a half smile on her lips. Some rumors can change one's life. They changed mine more than once. Don't pretend you don't care, I know you do. She didn't resist neither opened her good eye, the adrenalin of the last half hour finally letting her body slowly. Now, why do you want to build the reputation of being my lover?

"Pretend I don't care about the rumors or about you?" he smirked as he watched her. As he often did he paused before he spoke.
"We live in a world of rumors, but for once I would like to live in a world of truth." bold words, but that was the way he was as eloquent as they happened to be.

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat-scorpion.jpg And they say Hida can't be poets; they know nothing!
Her smile widened, she couldn't help but compare and come to the conclusion that never, ever, someone was so subtle, so romantic or so true while trying to get lucky with her. Few got it. Eventually, they all regretted of getting what they wanted; and her too. Would he? His words burned, bringing a strange strain to her heart, because a world of truth was something to where she apparently wasn't invited. Bare of all lies, what would be left of her? It was so tempting, though, for once to low her defenses truly and not only fake it as uncountable times she did. Just one way to know, though. She sighed, and said, now looking at him. Yes, Izo. Show me your truth. I'll show you mine.

Laughed at her statement. he doubted there was ever a Hida such as him and they both knew it. There was a second there while she thought in her intricate beautiful mind where he wondered if she was just going to stab him instead. Then she spoke and he could not help but feel as if a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders.
"Best be prepared for an interesting time." in all respects he figured..
He reached up and caressed her cheek before giving her a kiss. Their previous one had been cut short by the annoying Seppun and he was damn determined to make up for it now.

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat3.jpg AFTER... Cuddling in his arms Satomi noticed the first signs of dawn, a subtle change in the luminosity along with the comfortable sounds of an after-rain. Blinking and yawning, she was idly nudging the fine hairs on his forearm, while trying to gather a bit of energy and decency and put some clothes on, and failing miserably at it. What just happened was so much anticipated and imagined, and would be treasured forever, at least for her. In a moment of her life, she just gave away the hope of having this moment with the man she truly loved, but then, what seemed impossible happened… Now what? Time to walk away from this "world of truth" to the cynic world she was used to? No, maybe she could prolong that moment a little bit. Just a little bit. You. I'm hungry.

Before he knew it it was near dawn. Time certainly did fly when you were having fun. Especially when such fun was as anticipated as this. It was the Second Day of Thunders all over again for him. He cursed the sun under his breath as he idly played with her hair. Quietly staring into the ceiling until she spoke.
"Consider me informed oh general." he chuckled "What do you propose we do about it?" giving the top of her head a kiss before sighing.. annoyed that life had to continue. Duty to be done and so forth. His stomach grumbled its assent he was always outvoted it seemed.

rokuganee2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/sat3.jpg Satomi chuckled as well. I wonder why telling people I'm hungry only brings me benefit when I'm entirely dressed...
Their time came and went in a blink of eye. She forced herself to get up and face reality. She had no doubt the day waiting for her was full of intrigues, bullshit and what not. Very well, Hida-san. You mentioned some business in the city. When do I see your gorgeous self again? She casually flirted, while dressing.

Grins with the good half of his face.
"Cause those people are not Emerald Magistrates I gather." he smirked to her and moved to get dressed as well.
"That depends on how soon you can get me my meeting with Sunetra assure her it will benefit us both personally and clan wide. You can even mention I am not like others of my clan if you think it will help." he pondered a moment checking the door and the hallway before coming back near her to help her finish dressing "Otherwise tonight for an evening meal? I am curious to learn when this trip to the Dragon lands is to be taking place."
