Day 2 EM | The Outcasts

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

"Ahhh a woman of many talents, I'm sure you're considered very valuable then to your Lord." He nodded with a smile.

"Me? I'm an engineer. I specialize in designing custom fleshcraft but also kind of anything mechanical or electrical. Can sort of do a bit of everything."

Upon the mention of the Lord part, there was a clear deflate on the woman's.shoulder, having touched a very sore spot. A.sharp breath in.and she was back.

"Can you work on drones as well?"

[Kaiu Ryosei]

He caught it, the change in the woman. He thought to ask her about it but maybe not in so public a place? He didn't know the intricacies of social acceptance often eluded him. She might notice him hesitate, almost say something, hold it back and then answer her question.

"Why yes I could. Ive done it a little bit here and there. Do you do drones for battling or other kinds of drones?"

"I like to think as something with tons of potential. If one applied the same level of artisany that jewelry get on the manufacture of them, one could get amazing results on small packages. Imagine a recording drone that could fit on your pocket.. It could change the stars."

Ryo pulled out a folder up holoslate and started scribbling lines, equations. Erasing and rewriting as he did so. "Hmmm" he says back looking at the slate "no" and he starts again drawing and redrawing.

"well miniaturization isn't actually a focus of the Crab when it comes to our engineering and manufacturing, that's more of a Crane thing but I think conceptually I can see what you are talking about. It would be hell to design, really the power supply and motor are the biggest hurdles. Lenses can already be tiny, a small camera isn't that hard to make. But making everything else small is a challenge." He threw in some more technical jargon as he looked from the slate up to the person across from him.

"So the idea has merit but honestly if it isn't about how to blow something up or build then our lessons don't really cover it. It's something I might be able to figure out but it would take me months or years maybe."

The Fixer chuckled, and rested an elbow on the table. "Well, sure as hell I didn't expect some kind of instant solution. Seems you're really talented and good at this stuff. I barely can jumpstart a car."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

He chuckled back "ha sorry, I just do that sometimes. I hear a problem and my brain starts working out how to solve it. But as for being good at it, id hope so. I was practically raised in a workshop, it'd suck to be mediocre or bad at something you've been doing your whole life."

He took a bite from the rice ball that had landed in front of him at some point "so do you mind if I ask?" He said motioning to his own face but looking at her mask "it's ok if it's personal but given my line of work I'm definitely curious."

The fellow samurai tilted her head, curiosity curling up her spine satisfyingly. Every question was a door into other's minds as well. "Ask away, Kaiu-san."

He nodded "Well it is rare for dragon to wear masks from what I understand. Does it serve a purpose? Medical?"

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

He nodded "Well it is rare for dragon to wear masks from what I understand. Does it serve a purpose? Medical?"

Ichitaiyo nodded. "Medical, I have a lung issue."

As their food and drinks arrived, Ichitaiyo took off her mask, revealing a.. rather normal looking face. More handsome, rather than beautiful, befitting of her lower deeper voice.

"Had an accident where I breathed something bad. Since then, I kind of need an air kami purifying the air I breath, or part into coughing fits."

He nodded "ah, I am sorry to hear that. Was it an accident or something along the line of your duties?"

He studied her face a bit and perhaps lingered a little longer than was strictly proper before he looked back to her eyes. He then began to dig into his food.

"You could it say it was on the line of duty." How would you call being a collateral in an assassination? Regardless, whether she noticed or not, she didn't make a comment of it.

"So, how's Hida Secunda? Was it nice to live?"

[Kaiu Ryosei]

"So, how's Hida Secunda? Was it nice to live?"

He nods in an apartment seated bow "To get injured in the line of duty is taught to be a great sacrifice for your clan. It is honorable and I commend you for it.

When she asks about Hida Secunda his smile dips a little "It was something. The first year wasn't too bad." His body language had become more closed off and his way of talking certainly sounded more reserved.

She knew the gesture, something she mirrored enough, she took other bite, and decided to not delve deeper, at least not for their first meeting.

"Well, at least you're retired from the frontlines. Found some peace here."

"Well, at least you're retired from the frontlines. Found some peace here."

"Indeed. Took some searching, not sure if I've fully found it but this has been a nice place." He commented, there was a touch of gratitude in his eyes when he regarded Ichitaiyo.

He was winding down on his food. He also sensed something of a kindred spirit in the dragon, at least in some ways. He felt drawn to learn what was going on behind her other mask.

"Kitsuki-san, how would you feel about spending time together again, in a few days, if your duties allow. I've enjoyed talking with you and would like to do so again. Preferably without having to tackle you before hand." He finished with a grin.

The Investigator levied an assessing gaze, openly looking up and down and weighting up the options. She responded with a counterquestion. "If you would specify what drew you in, Kaiu-san."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snip

He thought a moment for the best answer "Well there is a....vibe maybe? Some sort of energy you give off that I resonate with. You've done things you aren't proud of. You aren't exactly happy with your past. I don't know could be me projecting but I sense a little bit of a kindred spirit within you."

He paused "You are also rather good looking if we're going for full transparency here. But that is definitely secondary."

Her scrutizing gaze remained for some moments more before she sighed and relaxed. "Alright. What is your schedule? I have to attend all those events planned by the Governor of Green Carp, so my schedule will be.. bouncy."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snips

He smiled a little wider happy to hear her yes "Well mines a lot more open. I have a day job but because of the nature of it I'm rather flexible as opposed to bouncy. I've been going to the events the governor puts on but I'm not duty bound to. So we'll work around your schedule. Give you a couple days of time to know better what it might look like, text me when you're free." He said scribbling his number on a napkin and sliding it to her.

Ichitaiyo took the napkin and read the number, committing it to memory, before folding it into her jacket. She stood up and left a little smile. "May your favorite fortune steer you well, Kaiu-san."
