"It looks like it will be a clear day for once."

The mountains rose in white-capped succession to touch the sky itself, framing the faultless blue vibrantly. From the overhanging shelf of stone they and Akiko had made their encampment in, Sypha had finished bundling their bedroll and removed the talismans that had rendered them completely invisible and warm, evidenced by the dry, snowless border that gave their location away. And yet, it wouldn't matter as the two were ready to disembark to the next town, their next quarry.

Picking their way down the rocky mountainside that sloped gently into the embrace tree boughs that densely populated the river valley, the wizard considered the map unfolded in their hands. From what they could see, it was at least five miles to the next village and the demon rampaging through its countryside, their next mark. It was an unusual way to make a living, but it was steady and plentiful work.

"Should we stop for breakfast soon? I'm not hungry yet, but I don't mind either way."

“You’ll be safe here. Trust me, as long as the Arataki Gang is around, we’ll make sure nothing bad happens to you.” How odd was it to meet one of the Shogun’s own creations, but as those things happened, leave it to Itto to get invested and drag the whole Gang in to whatever endeavor he could. For once, Shinobu agreed with the course of action given how vulnerable Sayu seemed.

“You say you’re bored? Then tell me what you think of these.”

The process of learning of the restrictiveness of the Akademiya and their pigheaded incursions of stifling even even simple artistic expression was both baffling and frustrating, but her endeavors didn’t call for any amount of artistic expression. Just something to prove after her time spent in the Akademiya that would be concentrate enough to show something of it by the time she returned home to Inazuma. Thankfully, thirty-five certificates and degrees in myriad subjects as it was made for lucrative dealings that could easily bolster her standing in the Akademiya if she parlayed with the right people, like a certain infamous architect known for his capriciousness and pickiness in equal measure. 

“Most of these contracts are foreign, but a few are local. They all call for a level of creativity short of a prophet.” Amethyst eyes were cutting and insistent on Kaveh, regardless. “My only condition is that you include me as part of any planning team. I want to minor in the Kshahrewar in mathematics, but only if I have something to show for it.

“If you refuse, well--it’ll be like these opportunities never existed, to put it lightly.”
