"Hm?" Takomaro asked. "Do the two of you know each other?"
"No, well, not personally," Ioko responded. "She's a Zayama. Apologies, I got distracted. Where were we?"
The Zayama general then began to explain his plan to the Lord. Keiko could barely focus on it though. In between the details, how he wanted the lines of catapults behind the walls, that archers could be placed around the portal to pick off enemies as they come out, all she could think was "Seriously? He's a Zayama too?"
She wondered if maybe they'd met sometime before, though she doubted it. Nobody liked to associate with failures like her.
"Thoughts?" Nathan asked everyone in the room.
"Well..." Satsuhiro started. "If escaping truly isn't an option, then, fine. In addition, I'd suggest we let the first streets go."
"What?" Takomaro asked.
