Momonga: I wonder if it would reflect badly upon your impressions of me that I do not feel as ill at ease as most would in these lands.

Momonga: Hmmmm. That is actually not as true as you think, but I suppose that there is not much I can say to change it due to my upbringing.

Lisa: I mostly just feel kind of stupid for being so enthused with a culture so counter to what I believe. I knew this sort of attitude existed, but seeing it first hand puts it in a different perspective that makes it harder to ignore.

Barbara: I don't advertise this, but before I was transported to Sosaria, I lived in Los Angeles. So I kind of know the Japan you idolized. And...this is a different world. All countries have their skeletons.

Momonga: “All things are necessary - war, peace, the edge of the sword, and the sound of a poem. With understanding, all things are one.” This was a quote from Shinsei written in the Tao of Shinsei, and while he had stated it about the life of a samurai, I find it can find meaning in your inner conflict as well.

No one human is perfect. No culture is perfect either. I would advise you not let your enjoyment of the beauty of a land be shadowed by the ugliness of the narrow-minded.

-Sandra seems to be a little lost. Like she's looking for something but doesn't know what.-

-She looks around at the grounds again... where can she and everyone else go?-

Lisa: -nods- You both have a point there. We have our own problems back home, too.

I still feel weirder about the whole "being a ninja" thing than I did before, though. Which... ok, I guess a giant woman acting like a ninja should never have really felt "normal" in the first place. >.>

-Its 3 main buildings in a C shape, with a central courtyard, and a beach making up the 4th side of the giant square-

-Mostly the courtyard and the buildings which are living areas-

-Iiiits mostly a place to stay while your here as far as your concerned-

Momonga: ...Let me put it like this, Barbara-san.

If I did not put your needs above my own honor, I would have challenged him to a duel so hard your eight virtues would temporarily morph into nine. >.>

@Momonga: ...You do? No offense or anything, I kind of assumed you were used to this sort of behavior given the era you're from.

Momonga: Patriarchal tradition is one thing. It is not ideal, but it is somewhat tolerable, even if such traditions are dying out as Rokugan slowly changes with the coming times.

But disrespect of such scale is never tolerated no matter the era, and no bushi would have stood for the actions of any such shugenja. I held my tongue for your sakes, but I believe that I would be best served focusing on our given task and leaving matters of diplomacy to you.
