Yōsái Village

There was a pause, but no other members of the village stepped forwards. The village elder nodded. "Very well then, you three shall make the trip to the capital. If you have anything that you need, then ask, and it will be provided. You will find some extra money for train tickets in the reward fund."

Kyo smiled and inclined her head, "We shall set off as soon as we are able, Elder." she said, excited at the prospect of being able to ride on a train, something that most of the village had never before experienced. The massive metal vehicles were often talked about by travellers.

After a short number of additional announcements, ranging from cautions about dangerous places to instructions for repairs, the crowd began to disperse. Kyo approached her two travelling-companions to be with a grin, slinging the large satchel containing the reward money under her arm. "There are only a few things that I need from my home before we set off. Have either of you been to the capital before?" she asked.

As soon as everyone dispersed, Zhiya let her eyes inch up to Kyo, slightly uncomfortable. She slid her sword around her sash so that it was behind her, and folded her arms. "I do have someone I need to visit before I leave, as well. And... no. I'll admit I really haven't set foot out of Yosai before."

Masaeyu grinned and pointed to his chest with his thumb, the other hand on his hip. "Looks like I'll be the expert, here, once we do make it. I've been to the capital on several occasions!" He looked behind him for his brother, who had also walked off. "Though I've left each time for reasons. How about you, Kyo? I don't remember you having ever gone out of town before."
