Hirosho Horatami sat by himself on one of the more decorative sofas in the hall leading to the Court Room. He had seen Shogun Myamoto racing down the halls to the bay. Hirosho had previously followed him into the docking bay, curious of the alarms and activity. As the honorable shogun listened to the information about the KNF vessel and Akuji's departure, Hirosho stood at the corner eavesdropping, while munching on a ripe apple. After Miyamoto left and Hirosho was done with his apple, the Daimyo paced the halls thinking to himself about the matters at hand. When about an hour had passed, he sat down, finally by himself. He watched as several Dragons roamed the hall, although most were asleep or tending to other issues and matters. Hirosho again thought about Akuji's unexpected leave while diving into sleep.
"He must have gone to see another women! No.. no.. Ah ha! The KNF pilot of the destroyed vessel outside contained a map to secret hidden treasures!... No... Gah... Stupid Hirosho! You're supposed to know these things! Hmm.. Perhaps a secret project, a surprise for the shogunate! Haha! I'll bet it's foreign currency of some sort! That Akuji... Always full of surprises. Surprises.. Oh that reminds me!..."
Two hours passed with a Daimyo sleeping on a sofa in the most public hallway in Kyoto. Finally, several Obans decided to pick him up and drag him to his quarters. Once inside, they lied him on his embellished mattress full of traditional Dragon inscriptions and decor.
