The information was written down on paper, with every detail he could write down being there.  He read it over silently to himself, nodded, then put them away into a small little bad.  He bowed yet again to Lord Shima, with a smile on his face.  "[b][i][color=39b54a]Thank you, Lord Shima.  I am sure this will come in handy during our journey.  We will not fail.[/color][/i][/b]"  He would then walk back to the group, to stare down the Half-Oni girl that was trying to make small talk with everyone.  Approaching her, he tapped her shoulder, his ears flattening a bit.  "[color=39b54a][b][i]You should try harder if you want to engage in conversation.[/i][/b][/color]"  He chuckled a bit and patted her back, a grin on his face.

After some time, he would check his supplies to make sure he was ready for his trip.  Paintbrush?  Check.  Paper?  Check.  Family sword?  Check.  Everything seemed to be in order!  With that, he stretched out, waved to everyone else, and began to walk out of the Daimyo's castle.  "[b][i][color=39b54a]I shall wait for you all outside, do not hesitate to catch up.[/color][/i][/b]"  As soon as he left the home of Lord Shima, he sat down with his legs crossed, his eyes wandering at everything around him.  A beauty this place was.  It was a perfect time to begin painting!  With his paintbrush and paper in hand, he started to paint what he saw...humming to himself quietly.  A Sasaki Clan's lullaby is a soothing, yet energetic tone.  It relaxed him as he waited for the others...though he was in no rush whatsoever.
