The Fishing Hour[/h3][@Rune_Alchemist][/center]
Nomura gazed at his catch in awe, going so far as to look into the fish's gaping mouth. The other fisherman's comment had earned his curiosity as well as his attention. A rare catch? He had a few questions, but it seemed most of his questioning would have to wait.

"[color=lavender]Ah, very well. I'll see to her in a bit. Just need to return something.[/color]" Nomura nodded to the Oni, before standing up. He would look for the fisherman who had lent him the rod, seeking them out.

"[color=lavender]Hello, friend! Thank you for lending me your fishing rod. It truly is blessed![/color]" Nomura had stated to the fisherman, showing him the lucky catch he had managed himself, before a silly idea came to his head. 

"[color=lavender]This rod holds a sort of hidden magic in it... It should bring you and yours prosperity. I'm an expert in seeking out, ah, hidden blessings and power in the mundane. The spirits in this rod truly are fortuitous! Just [b]believe in me[/b].[/color]"

Nomura chuckled to himself at his previous statement, curious to see if he could use that ability for a different purpose. It's not like he's talking completely out of his ass, or at least he believes he isn't. It seems the Chagawans hold similar beliefs to those of the East in his lands. If Nomura's assumption was correct, it's likely the belief of spirits residing in items was one they may also share. He wondered if his dabblings into the occult theories of his world could be transferred to this as well.

In any case, Nomura returned the rod to the fisherman and made his leave. He wondered what Mie wished to speak to him about. To his understanding, the situation with Donovan was already dealt with. He'll just retrieve the shard from his corpse after he is finished meddling with powers beyond his control. Ayumi should be there to keep careful watch of him as well, and she'll now get paid [i]handsomely[/i] for it.

"[color=lavender]Hello, hello! You called for me?[/color]" Nomura squawked as he entered the tent. He felt a rather [i]dull[/i] presence in the tent with him, but elected to ignore it for the time being.

"[color=lavender]Ah yes, regarding the shard... You shall have it by tomorrow at the latest! Ayumi's ensuring that the other party keeps their end of the bargain, and I trust them enough based on character alone. I, on the other hand, hold no such honor. If you wish for me to bring his head, I can accomplish that as well, attached to his body or not.[/color]" Nomura boasted, confidently. Not confident in his ability to win a fight against Donovan, but in Donovan dying in his quest back into that hellhole.

"[color=lavender]Ah, I also have Ayumi's payment for her help right here. Amazing, right? The fishermen here say its one of the most elusive catches in these shores, normally only caught on long days, whatever those are... Is there anywhere I can store it to keep fresh?[/color]"
