[quote=Fabricant451] If say, Kaede or Yuki or Akane were to, perhaps, reward Noriaki with, oh... she could be persuaded to fight. [/quote] Akane: Just close your eyes and bend over. *Smiles as she picks up a Naginata* I'll find a way to reward you. [quote=Fabricant451] Noriaki is kind of preoccupied with Ariiko so the village could be on fire and she'd not notice.But imagine what the others would think if bandits did come and Noriaki defeated them. [/quote] Those are some crappy bandits?
