"Whatever wounds there are, they'll be gone by morning," Yamada says, before stepping lightly over to Rentarou and going to put a hand on his shoulder. However, just before actually coming into contact, he will stop and send the smallest of electrical jolts through them muscle, in an attempt to alleviate the pain. He isn't as good at it as his mother, who is quite talented with the Gift and it's many possibilities, but he may just be able to manage it.

"Well he's impressive so I guess that makes sense. Kinda weird, though. He likes to be alone a lot despite being a wolf." She does not censor herself at this, and doesn't seem to notice the potential faux pas.

Though it is tough work (the sea beast still has plenty of thrash surely), Nairube helps Kotone get the boat back to shore with his paddles, switching between keeping the fish in check if he has to with rowing.

Ren lets out a small chuckle, even that seemingly slightly practiced in how to perform it though it was genuine. Looking back and fourth with a small smile. "I am glad to hear, you will both be alright but please do not hesitate if you need care. I shall be residing here and I do infact have access to such care available." He says giving a respectful half-bow to the two,"For your hangover, I think I have a way to help with that." He says with a positive smile. Despite being young there is this wise air of wisdom that seems to flow a little from the young noble boy.

Meanwhile Mana giggles slightly to Koneko, failing to keep up her practiced appearance. "Boys are always odd, they never tend to make a lot of sense." She says with lightly, just going with whats on her mind as well.

Kokoro was nearing another village - another opportunity to learn from another blacksmith. Currently she was wearing one of her finer jackets together with a wide Hakama, the first impression after all was the most important one. Now with her here she would need to find an inn with a free room for the next few nights. After that was done she needed to find a good blacksmith willing to take her as an apprentice for a few weeks or months so she could hone her skills.

Before Tarou can get up, he can feel the jolt...no, not jolt exactly, but it gave him a little shock anyways, heal his pained muscles. Rolling his neck a bit, he gives Yamada an appreciative nod before he stands, much easier than he would have prior, even with his developing hangover symptoms.
Heading back towards the door, he glances at Ren. "What did you have in mind?"
Market Street
"Oh, I see. That is very good! Mister Tarou always seems so lonely, I'm glad he has a new friend." she answers with a smile. "As for me, I have been ok. I've been working a lot more at home, but it is just part of becoming the successor of the family business, I suppose...I have been missing out on more lessons from Master Date because of it, too..." she trails off clearly saddened, then immediately looks as if she's done wrong. "O-Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to complain about myself...how rude of me. Please, forgive me."
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either."No, I love hearing about your problems!" Aiko says, eager to repair any misunderstandings. "Not that I like that you have problems, of course! It's just nice that you consider me a good enough friend to tell me! I certainly hope that your work isn't too hard on you, Minami-san... Is there any way I could help? I'm free for a while!"
Market Street
"Ah, sorry. I was just worried I was burdening you with it. I appreciate you listening, Aiko, thank you." You are a good friend." she says, her smile returning. "Well, today, all I had to do was go and pick up a package for father. So, I have the rest of the evening to do, well...anything really. Would you like to go for a walk?" she asks, hoping she wasn't imposing. "I would like to at least go say hello to Master Date."

"I do know of a new kind of medicine that would be effective against hangovers, I believe I have a small amount of it available still." Ren says with a polite smile as he walks along back towards the inside as well.
A look of deep thought as he spoke, thinking about the cure in question and the few times he has used it. In truth it was a medicine he has been making with aid from Mana and their unique condition for a while but it has been quite effective when used.

Tarou steps inside and takes a brief seat at the barfront, closest to the stairs, waving to Mira before looking back to Ren expectantly.
"Well, I do not fear trying new things. Let me have some."
Market Street
Minami turns and starts walking in a random direction. "Well, aside from Date-san's...anything is fine, really. Do you have anywhere you;d like to go?"

Finally a tavern, hopefully it still had some free rooms. It seemed to lie fairly central so searching for a blacksmith shouldn't get too problematic. Kokoro for a last time fiddled a bit around with her Hakama and straightened her jacket before walking into there.

The young noble boy nods with a particularly proud smile. "I'll just be a minute to fetch it then." He says as he heads to go gather his medical kit from his horse and get the medicine. Ren likely crossing paths with Kokoro but not paying any particular mind in the crossing as he briefly leaves the tavern. A graceful and purpose filled gate to his walk.

Kokoro briefly saw another person pass by her as she was about to enter the tavern, with a short nodded she stepped past him and into the tavern itself. As she stepped into the tavern a nice smell of freshly cooked food entered her nose, it was only now that she noticed how hungry she was - not particular surprising considering she had been on her legs since quite a while now without taking a break. Quickly she decided that her room could wait. She went to the counter, t her surprise behind it was an appliance for making Taiyaki - which happened to be Kokoro's favorite food. She ordered one with cheese and as she waited for her order searched for a free table in the room.

Tarou gives Ren a simple nod as he waits. As he watches him exit, he spies Kokoro enter, noting he had not seen her before. Another newcomer perhaps. Well, at least she didn't look the type to cause trouble.
"H-Hey..." he says, trying to keep.his voice even as possible.as he calls to her. "If you need a seat, take mine. I am soon to retire, anyway." he says, standing to offer her the spot if she wishes.

Kokoro looked into the direction of the voice and directed a friendly bow at him "Thank you for your kind offer stranger, I would be glad to take it." She walked to him "Say, before you retire would you be so kind to tell me if there is a blacksmith nearby?"

It is a few minutes before Ren walks back in with a large satchel bulging a little. A confident look on his face as he walks over. Placing it down on a surface and opening it up. "It's all in here. I think it is already mixed up so I should just need a little bit of water to mix it with." He says to Tarou as he digs through the bag whose contents clearly includes alot of medical supplies, bandages, herbs, ointments, some small medicinal vials.
Mana looks at Kokoro as she sits down, giving a friendly nod and smile before getting up with the glass of water, which she hasn't actually drunk any of and walks towards her brother. "You are obsessed with your work aren't you." She says affectionately, putting a arm around him and poking his side, putting the glass besides his bag.
"It's not like you're any better with your own craft." Ren replies, not returning any affectionate gestures. "I'm sorry, this is my sister Mana." Ren says introducing Mana to Tarou. Mana turning, releasing her arm from her brother and smiling. The twos appearance being strikingly similar. Easily able to pass for one another with the right outfit, changes to their hair and demeanor.
"You must have been one of the fighters that caught my brothers attention then. It is a pleasure to meet you, ..?" She says with a friendly and impressed look leaving the end open for a name.

Kokoro bowed "Thank you very much." With that she started to eat her Taiyaki, between bites she turned to face Mira "Oh, forgive me my rudeness, but do you know where I can find a capable blacksmith?"

Kokoro bowed her head "Thank you, I will make sure to to search for it then. Also, am I right to presume that you are the one responsible for the tavern? If so I would like to ask, if you would still have a free room for me until I find what I'm searching for?"

Mira counts on her fingers under the table and mutters a bit under her breath before turning back to Kokoro.
"Yeah, I'm the owner of this tavern. I think we do have some rooms left, so just sign this and you're good. (And pay me, but we can work that out later.)"
She slides a slip of paper towards her.
So many people rooming today...

Kokoro bowed her head again "Thank you very much." She signed the papers after reading through them shortly and slid them back over to Mira along with some coins probably enough for the room, her food and a small tip.

"There is a blacksmith, yes, like Mira said." Tarou finally answers, seeming to have briefly spaced out. "His hut is located not far from hear, just head out from the market area and go north. I noticed his apprentice was out and around while I was engaged in my fight...if you want, it could be good to speak with her if you see her."
As Ren introduces Mana, he greets her with a nod. "Nice to meet you." he answers simply, and watches as Ren roots around in his bag. "Are you studying to become a doctor?"

Tarou, now using his sword to help keep himself upright, shakes his head. "If you happen to know some way to treat a developing hangover..."
