[center][i]They were met with more rejection as Baji spoke and it was upsetting him but Takumi advised him to  let it go and investigate the possible impostor.  He put trust in all of Takumi's political and foreign advice.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"I understand and I apologize if I offended you or your lady's word.  I humbly ask that inform her of our presence at her earliest convenience and I will personally investigate the possible Shima impostor."[/color]  [i]The two moved past the guards respectfully and started their search.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"We should probably check the local inns since it's late at night.  I suggest we start with the cheapest one.  If he's not who he says he is then he wouldn't probably want to stay in the smallest one to avoid attention.  You ready for this Takumi?!  Jiang and Takumi, prowling the night for liars, allies and clues!"[/color]  [i] Probably not the best idea to shout that out and he wrapped his arm around Takumi and pulled him in as they walked side by side.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"A neko in strange armor, how hard can that be to find?  Oooh!  How should we play this?  Good town guard, bad town guard?  Surely we won't pose as Ru guards out of respect.  Maybe I could be a drunkard with a vendetta against Shima, or you could pose as a son of Shima!"[/color]  [i]Jiang struck a new pose every time he came up with a new idea and stared at Takumi with such excitement and glee in his eyes, hoping for some positive feedback.[/i][/center]
