Mm. I assumed as much. I don't expect anyone to do anything just because a stranger asks nicely, after all, even a trustworthy stranger. But, I have found one thing that can bring people together regardless of things like politics and old feuds, it's just a matter of coming up with a plan of action.

[ what that thing is he deliberately omits, mostly because he likes to see how other people think.

everything ryouma ever accomplished in his life he managed to do in an extremely short amount of time but he had more at his disposal then too, in a way. he knew his country and the people and could understand the shifts in politics and war and trade. not so much around here, so it's going to take no small amount of effort to play catch up. ]

Well, I have a theory about all of that but it can get a little long. I imagine it has to do with the higher ranking Kappa and their access to lower levels. Whoever is behind all this knew where to apply pressure and if the other clans are getting ready for a fight they're playing right along.

[ now, here's a man with initiative. but that does make shylock wonder if it is even possible to strive for peace in such a lawless land -- enma rule notwithstanding. guess he still has a lot to learn about this realm and its culture. ]

So they're waiting for the outcome of the upcoming showdown, then. [ closes his eyes. ] I still can't fathom the appeal of this area by the two groups, to be honest. So there might be something here that both groups want for themselves, not just the location.

[ so let's look for it! ]
