Kiru intercepts Tetsuko as she boards, to give her the spiel (mentioned in the first post). "Hida, Kiru wishes to warn about Kakashi. Kakashi enjoys playing around with Crab more than almost anyone else."
He looks her up and down and quietly asks, "Hida will not damage ship, will Hida?"

Shinwa closes the toolbox cabinet, sealing it into the wall behind yet another of the many metal doors. He turns to Itsuki. "I think I managed to find everything on the normal maintenance list. I brought extra ritual salt and cleansers...I decided that this would be a good system for them." He pauses and considers that. "If the Hida did not get her armor cleansed before we left, we shall need to take care of it soon. It sounds like I have another job. You can find the supplies by your cabin. I will need to refill my salt jar soon though."
"I also picked you up something. Not even a download...real pages. I don't think you've read Uesugi Basho's latest, have you? "Nightshade and Nightingale" came last month."
He passed Shiba Itsuki the book, bound pages of fine thin plastic, very traditional in style. It would be recycled, of course, when the reader was done with it, but sometimes there was nothing like the feel of a real book in your hands.
Real books /never/ break anyway.

Tetsuko looks up at the ship and down at Kiru. He was a nezumi, she didn't like nezumi but him and his ship saved her live so he was owed her respect, even if grudgingly given. "No."
She begins to gather the clothes in the bag, holding it in her hand with her now cleaned armour under her arm.

Itsuki bows his gratitude. "Very thoughtful, arigatou gozaimasu. Is there anything this one can do to assist Shinwa-san? If not, I will go and seek out Hida-san."

"No." She begins to gather the clothes in the bag, holding it in her hand with her now cleaned armour under her arm. Kiru smiles, baring his teeth in joy. "Yokatta! Shinwa is just finishing setting up Hida's private quarters. Should be ready soon. Anything M'thack-kir can do to make Hida's stay more comfortable? Aside from the ship taking time to adjust...if Hida will speak with Kiru in around a week's time, Kiru is certain the ship will feel more at home."

Itsuki bows his gratitude. "Very thoughtful, arigatou gozaimasu. Is there anything this one can do to assist Shinwa-san? If not, I will go and seek out Hida-san." The ronin shakes his head. "I think I have everything. The cabin is complete. I just need to get the futons into it and the other cabins." Then he frowns, remembering something. "Itsuki-san....If you do not want to have the Ikoma bunking with you, he may take my quarters, no matter what Kiru-san thinks. I can sleep in the Camel..." It might...there's bound to be somewhere that won't break... Or wherever. What do you want?"

"You're being too kind, Shinwa-san. Thank you. But no, my sole duty is to obey Kiru-senchou unless it somehow endangers Phoenix interests. And he means well."
He smiles weakly.
"Besides, I'll be too busy flying the ship most of the time to have awkward interactions, and I understand that Ikoma-san has a fighter of his own to see to when it isn't docked with our ship. But thank you."

Nanashi enters carrying said futons.
"You can always bunk with me for the time being, Shinwa. I sleep in my hammock so you can have the futon."
Nanashi turns to Itsuki. "There somthing between you and the Lion? You steel a girlfriend from him?" He says, Poking fun.

Itsuki blinks his embarrassment away and bows. "I should go see to Hida-san's armour. Please excuse me."
He walks away from the situation with haste, seeking out Tetsuko and Kiru in no time. The Shiba bows before interrupting, "Hida-san, has your armour been seen to?"

Shinwa shrugs and lets Itsuki leave without comment. He frowns at Nanashi. "I should deliver the rest of these packages. Can you move the futons into Doji-sama and Hida-sama's cabins?"

The Shiba bows before interrupting, "Hida-san, has your armour been seen to?" Tetsuko looked at the Shiba pilot up and down. Why were so many people bothering her? Couldn't they tell she wanted to be alone? "Yes," she said. She then stomped off into the ship to the corner of the cargo bay that had been set aside for her.

Nanashi watches Itsuki go with an impressed look on his face.
"Got to admit that I was not expecting that."
Nanashi turnes to Shinwa. "Ya, sure. Let me know if you want to use my futon. I'll take it outside and beat it for a bit. Get the dust off."
------------------------------------
Nanashi knocks on the screen to the Hida's space. "Futon delivery."

Shinwa picks up some of the special packages he had collected. First he finds M'thack-kir.
"Kiru-san," he offers. "I finished putting up the shoji screens and the supplies are loaded and almost all stowed. It did not take any new anchors. The shoji fit the existing anchors. However, you might want to hook up the power."

Tetsuko pulls aside the shoji screen, takes the futon without a word, then closes it again.

Nanashi stares for a moment at the closed screen. He then gives the closed screen a flourishing bow to put a kabuki actor to shame.
Nanashi then goes off to try to find the preening Crane.

Kiru is troubled, but will not gain any solace until tonight's visit to the Field of Dreams."
