Even among the swords in the army, Yamanbagiri was one of the most hard working swords. Driven entirely by his desire to prove himself, the uchigatana fought the hardest and do his assigned chores dutifully. Sometimes, this caused him to push himself a little too far, especially on the battlefield.

They just finished a battle. However, before it ended, Yamanbagiri took a blow for someone and get heavily damaged. He won’t break if they return now, which they will be doing.

Whether it’s during the trip back or at the repair room, someone on the team might decide to talk to him about it.

FREE TIME
When he have nothing to do - no chores, no expeditions, no sorties, nothing - Yamanbagiri would get swallowed up in his thoughts. So that left him with:

A: Walking around the hallways with his head down, letting his hood cover his face as always. Until he bumps into someone…

B: Sitting down outside and staring at the garden before him. His cape spills out behind him, like a large, tempting target for people to trip over it…

MAGAZINES
It was an accident. Maybe Kashuu left them lying arond, or Midare or Jiroutachi. Whoever did it, Yamanbagiri found some opened magazines and moved to pick them up. Until he saw the advice columns inside and started reading them curiously.

Anyone who walked past the room would see Yamanbagiri reading a… fashion magazine? What?

Wild Card
Throw me your best starters instead.

(OOC: If you want Yamanbagiri to be the starter uchi, let me know. Otherwise, I usually keep the starters vague and open.)

( That hit was supposed to be for him. He should be the one being carried back home, licking his wounds with tail between his legs for when they had to face the saniwa. Instead, it had Yamanbagiri who taken the blow. Who had gotten hurt because he hadn't watched his back as well as he should have.

He hadn't said anything at first. There wasn't time for words. Instead, he'd cut down their enemy, yelled for help, and helped formulate their escape plan. He'd kept asking Yamanbagiri if he was okay. Could he stand? Could he walk? Could he understand what he was saying now? Questions to gauge the severity of the damage so that they could explain better to the saniwa.

With Yamanbagiri draped over his shoulder, Mutsu carries him back across the field towards home. They haven't completed their mission for the day but they can't press on either. They needed to retreat. With Yamanbagiri out of commission and Mutsu preoccupied, the team had been split. A pair went ahead to clear the path, a rear guard would follow up behind them to secure their escape.

For the most part, they walk in silence. Every now and then, Mutsu will remind him that they're "almost there" though, that was some time ago. But finally, once the shock passes some and he's certain Yaman isn't going to break on him now, he's able to address the next issue at hand, )

The hell were ya trying to do? Ya could have died right there!

( She recognizes those magazines right away and smiles from the open doorway. She doesn't say anything for a moment but it's rude to spy so she announces presence, )

What're you reading, Yamanbagiri?

( And she'll come over, peering to see what page he's looking at. )
