[QUOTE="Dark Nemesis, post: 2348749, member: 11714"] [b][u]Zhiko and Cho[/u][/b][u][/u] At Zhiko’s words of protest, Bayushi-sama turns his eyes toward her, his gaze as sharp as a dagger. When she catches herself and acquiesces, he nods slightly, before turning his attention back to Tamori-sama and Cho. “Excellent. The tournament is to take place tomorrow. Until then, we shall see to it that your accommodations are comfortable.. Yogo-san, return the statue to the crate so that our guests may be escorted to their quarters.” “A you will, my lord.” Trying to conceal a look of disappointment, Yogo-san carefully placed the statue back into the crate. Bayushi-sama nodded in satisfaction, before getting to his feet. “Goro will escort you to your quarters for the evening. Tamori-san, Togashi-san, Bayushi-san, I appreciate all that you are doing.” With that said, Goro, a slender man dressed all in black materialized from the shadows.
