"You were a former student here? Or did you teach at one point and are just now returning?" Seijuro asked with genuine interest, sliding the wooden sword back into his belt.

Fuyuko nods. "I attended here when I was young." she says pausing a moment to think. " So many years past. When the thunders roamed the halls. Perhaps roam again." she says softly into the night before she turns to smile at him in her strange doll-like manner.

Seijuro looked unsettled. Not from her doll like appearance, nor her strange smile that was almost devoid of any emotion. Maybe it was her words? The Akodo slowly closed his fist into a ball, then relaxed it with a forlorn glance.
"I am envious - you got to walk among such great heroes of Rokugan. I... I think they roam here still, even now. At least the ones who had fallen. Their spirit remains at our side, ever, inspiring us to even greater heights."

"There is an element of regret. Had I still been in the school, what would have been asked of me?" she sighs shaking off the thought. "It is of no concern. I serve as I am called by Empire, Fortune and Clan. What more could one want in life?"

"I do not know Doji-sensei... I have heard the tales, about the tragedy involving Lord Doji Makoto-ue and his wife, and his children. You may have been called to give your life in their defense."
Seijuro shakes his head apologetically. "But as you say, it is no matter. You are here and you are alive and you are samurai. What more could we loyal subjects want indeed?"
We could want so much more...

"If that was when Emma-o called me home, I would have no complaints. But instead I was tasked with keeping the peace and so I did." she says before she smiles at him. "Regrets are for old men and war heroes. Let us focus on sharpening our blades for today."

"Hai, sensei," Seijuro replied, tightening his brown gi top and readjusting the bokken as a result.
"We may not see ourselves in such a situation again for some time - ah, war that is."

"We never know. I didn't dream of one when I was younger. But still it came. One must always be prepared. And there are plenty of bandits and criminals in the meantime"

Oblivious to whatever heavy conversation may be filling the air, a brown haired girl with a medium sized panther wandered inwards.
Akiko blinks in surprise as she sees there are people occupying the dojo, light glinting off her glasses. Was there no where she could go to escape? She hovers at the entrance unsure as to if she should enter now.

"True that; the duty of a magistrate never ceases, even in times of peace," Seijuro replies with a small chuckle. His golden eyes float over to the entrance to the dojo, noticing Akiko's approach. He gives the young girl a bow.
"Konban-wa, Matsu-san. It seems we keep bumping into each other."
