Is that so? Sorry to disappoint, but I probably won't be around to meet her. Hate to ditch a lady like that, but it is what it is.

I thought so. [ she looks quite pleased to be correct. ]
But since their war is over, more Natlanese people are leaving their land to travel the world. I wouldn't be surprised if the Archon of War came to the Land of Eternity to meet the Shogun. . . so keep your hopes up. ✨

Golden details... ( That much matches, but... A strange contraption? She supposes Nobunaga has always had a penchant for newer tech, but even then... )

The shadows? There's that assumption again: the idea that he skulks about in the dark. That he needs to conceal himself to kill. His face contorts with contempt.
"I am not assassin. Don't ever call me that."
His pride as a swordsman would never allow that.

Assassins bother the god king just by existing, the class represents a lot of things Ozymandias hate in people, but Izou was a bit different. Something that deserved attention before receiving disdain.
"What is your connection with shadows? You're an uncommon assassin."

are you afraid of other people? i know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, for while you may not be hurt that way, you mustn't forget that you must endure the loneliness.

the true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. it’s not what they do in life but what they did before dying that proves their worth.

Indeed. Her bodysuit is black, with red and golden details, I've heard. It seems she rides on a very strange contraption, much faster than a horse. . . .

His cursory examination complete, the warrior strides forward, blade in hand.
He lacks proper knowledge of forges and steel, his skillset locked exclusively in the art of swinging steel, rather than smithing it. Still, he evaluates the weapon as something of 'fairly high quality.' A broad and ↷

wavy red hair like the very sun's flames.
But don't let her tight bodysuit deceive you. She won a fierce battle tournament, and only because she was the strongest that she could become God. It seems she was the one to finally defeat the Abyss that has been plaguing Natlan for centuries...

The assassin clicks his tongue, performing the perfunctory motions of chiburi with great distaste. It's dishonorable that this fool's blood coated his blade at all.

Gleaming beneath the moonlight, it looks onward. Almost as if to beckon without words to the ‘Manslayer’.
Would he not claim his prize? The spoils of another man, killed over nothing… so it festers. So it rots.

Well damn, he got faster.
He'd be remiss to think 'this guy was just holding back,' but as Izou watches him, he realizes there's something more to this.
Gradually, his focus shifts from the attacks flying at him, to the way they're performed. He scrutinizes every little movement.
