*Contemplates*

Waves, hug and happy christmas.

That seems like a reasonable thing to do:

Heiko bows to Kyo, "Forgive me, Kaiu-sama, it appears other duties call me away."

She turned to Matisutou and went to where he was indicating, grabbing her jacket on the way, "I'm Hiruma Heiko, Ikoma-sama, let's have a look at these. Coming Daidoji-san?"

...should've taken Kyujutsu... Anybody want to set up a training montage? I'm not bad with a bow, are you looking for practice or tuition? The latter. Got no Skill, need to foster it. So far, this bushi only know sward. Well, I can sword, but bow and knife are my preferred weapons, so I'm willing t...

Matisutou looks up to see if any of the others about are currently available, particularly the more scouty types. They always have a certain air about them, after all. He's learned to recognize it over the years. (OOC: Quote me, please, if this fits you!) Heiko had been keeping half an eye on the o...

Heiko lookes slightly put out and bit resigned but realises that Kenzo is closer to the truth than she'd like, so just continues to work.

What's the water at the beach like?
Warm or cold, rough or calm, is the beach steep or long?

Bathing after hard work

With the tree-felling finally completed, or at least as completed as it would be today, Heiko really wanted to get the sweat and dust washed off. Lacking a bath-house or hot spring, the best option was the sea. Not ideal, but better than a rag and bucket. She piled her clothes and belongings on the ...

"You want to dig too, Daidoji-san?" Heiko asked incredulously, "I hadn't thought that the Crane were quite so interested in physical labour."

"Huh, guess I'll just have to make do with the sea then."

She continues to work for a bit, then whispers to whoever is nearest, "Is he doing anything in particular?" nodding her head at where the Lion had gone.

After working for a whie, Heiko was beginning to feel heat and humidity and stopped cutting for a bit to take off her jacket and hang it from a nearby tree. "This isn't really the best weather for hard work, but I understand why it's important to do it now. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm de...

"Hey, hang on! Has Shiba-san talked to that one yet?"

"Well, thank you for your work on our behalf with the kami, Shiba-san. I would not wish to be accosted by an unexpected spirit."

[OOC Akari, to whom does the 'she' refer to in this case? I can't tell which of the two female axe-wielders it is...]

Watch out... Zombie!

"Hi Shiba-san. Are you also here to watch us at work?"

Taking a pause from the chopping, Heiko looks over at the others, "Yeah, I bumped into Doji-san at the docks yesterday, but haven't met Shiba-san yet. She nods her head as a perfunctory bow. "Mornin' all." She grips the axe-haft firmly once more. "I shouldn't take us too long to get what we need wit...

Heiko arrives and surveys the area with a look of resignation. She hefts the various axes before picking one and propping it effortlessly on a shoulder, "Okay, Kaiu Kyo-sama, which one do you want to start with?" After having a tree indicated, she sets to work with the look of someone who's done thi...
