[Moon13: Morning- Armory, Open] Nerves

[Shiba Nozomi]

Nozomi blinks. "Ano... f-forced? N-no. Sh-Shiba are meant to pr-protect the I-Isawa. So th-that's wh-what we d-do."

Her milky eyes study the other a little more closely. "Have you?"

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"I've never had one," she admits, with a bit of longing on her voice. "It must be reassuring, to have someone watching out for you all the time."

[Ichiro Yakusoku]

Also unnerved by the sounds of the sea, Yakusoku makes her way down to the armory. Having heard where they were sailing today, the Badger is dressed in her trousers and sleeveless shirt. After all, tattoos are good luck so why not keep them visible when you need Suitengu's blessing the most. Now, if one were to look, its clear to see that the designs run up as far as her shoulders and clearly continue onto her back. Unlike recent days, her daisho rests on her hip, the woman's hand resting against the saya of her wakizashi.

Unsurprised to see other samurai spending some time below deck she stops long enough to nod to the Phoenix and Unicorn. Then, making her way across the room she begins to look through the supplies, reaching up to pull her headband a bit higher on her forehead. "Where they keep the Kami-damned sword oil?" she mumbles to no one in particular, her voice sounding pretty calm and collected for such frustrated words.

[Yasuki Himiko]

Perhaps not so much unnerved as being cautious, Yasuki Himiko found her way down into the armory. She herself was clad in light armor, as if expecting an attack. She looked at the group of samurai assembled and offered a friendly enough bow. "Samurai-sans." Her voice was calm, but low, clearly doing its best to avoid the attention of whatever might be surrounding them.

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

Rinzuki bows to Himiko and Yakusoku as they arrive. "Yasuki-sama, Ichiro-san, good morning."

[Ichiro Yakusoku]

"Mornin' Yasuki-san," Yakusoku looks up from her search long enough to offer a smile and nod at the sound of the familiar voice. Then, its back to looking for sword oil. "Found it!" she speaks the words in a powerful whisper, picking up the oil and a cotton cloth. "Now... rice paper. Ah, here we go." She smiles. The layout of the armory was starting to make a bit of sense. One more step in really getting used to being on a new ship.

At the greeting from Rinzuki her attention turns toward the Unicorn. Holding the oil carefully in one hand, the paper and cloth in the other, she offers a more respectful bow. "Ohayo Iuchi-san." Must be the one that flirts with everythin'. Certainly has the look to get what she wants. "Shiba-san," she quick greets the Phoenix as well, doing her best not to be rude, "ohayo."

[Yasuki Himiko]

Himiko looks over to the Iuchi. "Been a few days, Iuchi-sama. Trust ye have been takin' pretty well to the sea."

[Shiba Nozomi]

Nozomi bows to the other two as they enter. As much as she normally hated being in groups, right now, it made her feel a good bit better than being along with that... noise.

"Ohaiyo ...uki-san, Ichi...n."

[Ichiro Yakusoku]

Yakusoku casts a quick glance at the Phoenix then turns much of her attention back to getting situated for sword polishing. Poor girl's gonna get no end of grief if keeps on stutterin' like that.

[Yasuki Himiko]

Himiko almost didn't notice the Shiba speaking. Though when she did, she walked over to the little girl, kneeling down to be at eye level with her, and studying her intently, a curious look on her face.

[Shiba Nozomi]

Nozomi blinks and pauses in her stretch nervously. "Ah... Y-yes?"

[Yasuki Himiko]

She canted her head a bit, still with the curious look. "Why do you keep talkin' like I'm gonna rip yer head off or somethin'? No one here bites or anythin'. Just speak up." Naturally, her complete lack of understanding of concepts like being 'antisocial' made her completely insensitive to any potential misgiving Nozomi could have.

[Shiba Nozomi]

"Uhm... ah." Nozomi isn't sure what to say. The Crab did have a point. Except... "Ex-except m-maybe Moshi-sa-sama..."

[Ichiro Yakusoku]

"Ha," Yakusoku looks over with a smile, "she's got a good point there Yasuki-san."

Unsheathing her wakizashi first, the Badger claims a corner of the room, sitting cross-legged on the floor. Running a piece of rice paper over the blade she glances up now and again, watching the exchange between the Phoenix and Crab with a glimmer of interest in her dark eyes.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Pffft, Moshi-sama ain't nothin'. If ye think she's bad, ye'd never survive a day in Crab training." Himiko grinned widely. "Ain't nothin' to worry about, just gotta have some confidence and do as yer told."

[Shiba Nozomi]

Concerning Crab training, the Shiba is obviously disinclined to find the idea appealing. But in an effort to pull the attention away from herself, she decides to ask. And she takes a deep breath before doing so, managing to speak at an almost normal volume.

"What d-do they teach you in C-Crab training?" She's not sure she really wants an answer, as it's bound to be all about smashing things' heads in, but it was better than any other idea she had at the moment.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Depends, really. Most o' the Hida, like the other two o' my kin on the boat, mostly learned how to smash things wit' heavy weapons and fightin' the Oni and Goblins and Trolls and tentacle monsters the like. I learned more about using anythin' ye can get yer hold on to achieve victory. In some ways, I'm more comfortable chokin' somethin' with a rope than swingin' around a katana."

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"Yasuki-sama must be quite the talented warrior," the Unicorn suggests. "Shiba-sama and I were just discussing weapon training ourselves, though we decided that we are probably unsuited to bokken."

[Ichiro Yakusoku]

"Maybe ya could teach'em to clobber someone with a belayin' pin," Yakusoku, who was now polishing her blade before applying the oil, looks up with a grin. "Can ya imagine the fun times we could have at port if all the ladies on board learned how to brawl?"

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"A bunch of women, all rolling around on the ground together?" Rinzuki considers this for a moment, and then begins to slowly fan herself with one hand. "Oh my."
