"And a samurai's first duty is to the Emperor and his law. It's one thing to accept responsibility for a shameful action from your lord, Shinjo-san. It's another entirely to be an accomplice to a crime, and wouldn't continuing to serve your lord regardless of what he's done make you complicit as well?"

"I would confront my lord to confirm what I saw. If it turns out that something truly dishonorable then I would ask to commit seppuku." He replies. "Now I'm guessing you will ask a further question."

"It is the short sighted and foolish who believe that life has no patterns, no purposes" came an equally cryptic reply before the Asako bowed to Takezou once more. Then she realizes how that sounds and bows faster, deeper!
"Sumimasen, Shinjo-sama! I'm not calling you foolish or short sighted, just quoting the Tao about patterns!"
The little Phoenix samurai-ko straightens but keeps her gaze averted, "I have no questions because this one cannot sway you from your path and will not as long as it only affects you. But this one would any action necessary if your path should lead others to a false path, bring them suffering, or violate Imperial Law."
