Nagiha turned around when she was stopped by a woman who looked as if she belonged to the class of artisans, probably because she was one.
Nagiha huffed. "I might not need it yet. I feel, the person I am searching for is not far away"
When the artisan commented on her fighting a grin formed on Nagiha's face. "Naturally. Owari's spearmanship is well-known and feared all over Japan. And I can say, my katana skill is pretty much equal"
Unconsciously she started her bragging again, like usual.
Suddenly another woman appeared, this time, obviously older and considerably larger than Nagiha. A challenger! The grin already planted on Nagiha's face broadened even more for a second, just to completely disappear afterwards. "Naganita, eh? You want to test your skills against someone who fought in wars already?" She shrugged.
"You want to fight against a katana or a yari? I have used both in battle frequently" A smirk enlightened her features as she mounted the sashimono, the little banner, on the back of her armor. Then she drew her katana and quickly whirled it around her body spinning it like crazy sheathing is again in a fluid motion.
Her smirk even widened now that she could finally show off to someone again after her long travels.
