[Good morning, Lunatia. The video starts with a view of hooves, a too close view of a face... and then finally... a centaur? Who keeps looking off screen while she talks and never seems to actually focus on the lens correctly.]

Hello? Can everyone see me? Connor, am I doing this right? Okay? ... Okay.

[She clears her throat and dips into a bow, the camera bobbing along with her.]

Hello! This is Konoha... some of you maybe think my name is Shizu, but- It's Konoha! I'm from Echigo province, in Japan, if you know it... and I'll be in your care.

If you don't know me, which, I figure is most of you, this city must be even bigger than the capital I'm the... well in my world we say jinba but I'm the "centaur". I haven't seen anyone else like me so I think I can say "the"...

Anyway... what I wanted to ask was... if anyone had an recommendations for... shops? I've never really shopped before, and I haven't seen any locals quite like me, so if you know somewhere that does... I don't know, tailoring? Or a restaurant with really big seats or tall tables? Anything like that!

I'd appreciate it, so... thank you very much!

[Another bow, another bob of the camera... and a blurry flash of android helping her turn the dang thing off. Thanks, Connor.]

I understand.

[ responsibilities - be they big (unifying a country) or small (lumberyard work, he assumes) - were like that. both of them were constrained in their own ways back home, but the same thing that bound them could be a big reason to return. and it's honorable that she would answer that way, that she would rather return and take care of her things there than remain here.

at least, that's how he's projecting onto this conversation. it's probably a lot to read into for a five minute conversation with a centaur he's never actually met. ]

[He says he understands, but... what he wants to get back for was... that, right?]

I think the reasons we need to get home are really different probably.

[ nobunaga just laughs at that ]

Well, naturally. But I can still respect your determination.

[ even peasants have redeeming qualities!! ]

[lumberlady]

[............. does she feel good about being respected by Oda Nobunaga????

She has no damn clue.]

... Ah.

[goban]

[ you're welcome! ]

I'm glad to have me someone else from a home like my own. [ i guess its like his?? not totally, but ok ] I wish you luck with your shopping endeavors.

[lumberlady]

... Thank you.

[She thinks. At least this one doesn't seem as... outwardly callous and evil as the other one came off????]
