Tomi seeks out Samanosuke Akechi

[Ciaran]

A short, tattooed man approaches Samanosuke Akechi on the long road from Chang-an to the Iron City. Bowing, he says, "Well met, Samanosuke-sama. I have long desired to meet with you. Is it true what they say, that you seek to open a dojo of your own, one with no connection to the legendary master Darkwolf?"

Samanosuke comes out of hiding briefly for this purpose.

He admits, "Yes, this is all true. I can teach you the Thunder, Cherry Blossom, or Oak styles as you will have it."

 

[Ciaran]

"I thank you, Samanosuke-sensei. I would be honored to learn the graceful style of the Cherry Blossom."

Tomi sends a letter:

"Esteemed master Samanosuke, the warrior Dark Eternal achieved enlightenment during our bout, ceding the battle to me. A victory accrues to your dojo. May the kami bless the road you walk. -- Tomi"
