The caravan arrived at the city of Hashin, a port city from what Ryouichi observed. It was a massive city that appeared to be of importance to the rest of the country. Akane handed out a small sac of gold. Ryouichi took a peek inside and noticed quite a sum, 100 coins to be exact.

"Mitsuki, Guardsman, follow me," Akane said. Ryouichi assumed by guardsman she meant him, so he followed her general direction.

OOC: Oh, wow, I'd totally forgotten about this. If it's still going, I'm willing to make a long overdue post.

OOC: Make someone get stabbed or something, we need some action damn it!

With his payment in hand, Shu was free to do as he pleased. The trip had been short and simple, and his services hadn't even been required. It was easy money, really. With little else to do, the herbalist decided to explore the city. He wished to see if he could find any practitioners in this place. If he did, he would observe them, learn their techniques and possibly compare them with his own. Traveling abroad was a terrific way to learn.

Nari decided it was time for a little extra money. He went to the merchant district, and looked to see how he would be able to snag some extra cash. Hmm... Let's see here, this rug merchant could easily be able to be distracted, maybe some local children would be able to help me for some spare coins... Nari spotted some children, who were begging for money, which he saw one of the children slowely moving out of the scene to pick the pocket of the person who just rejected the idea of charity. "Why, hello there, boys." He said, making the kid who was about to steal from the man's pocket retreat lighting fast. "I know your ways, so I ask of your help." Nari waved some coins in his hand. "I'll give you 7 coins, if you help me. I want you to distract that rug merchant over there. If you help me, I'll even throw in some extra coins if you do a good job. You interested?"
