==Description==
Yasuke overhears a fight when visiting Rin.
<!--
==Dialogue==
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Screaming. Rin?''
[]
*'''Outlaw Rogue:''' ''Hey! Stop that!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Rin is fending off the bandits well. I should hold back. She is in control, right? I can help if she needs it.''
[Player defeats all bandits]
*'''Yasuke:''' [grunts] ''That will leave a mark.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Rin! Are you hurt? What happened?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Some wandering bandits thought my bow was mere decoration. But I appreciate your concern, sensei. And your help.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am not sure you needed it.''
*'''Rin:''' [pants] ''Thank you.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''The bandit dropped a bracelet... oh! This belongs to a merchant up by the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine. A kind man. Bit of a show-off. I remember him wearing it. We should return the bracelet. Maybe the bandits caused trouble for other merchants.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What kind of bracelet is it?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Buddhist prayer beads. Every now and then, I buy supplies from the temple town near the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''So you're not a hermit like your grandfather was.''
*'''Rin:''' ''No. I consider some of the merchant friends. Or, at least, they are some of my nearest neighbors. I remember one merchant wearing these beads. Apparently I was the only person he hadn't told about them.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You have taken to riding very well.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Thank you. I would say I mostly self-taught, after all.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''You wound me. You are a natural rider. But the horse will know if you become overconfident, and will surprise you.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Perhaps I should show you how good I am? How about a friendly race to the big lake over the ridge?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Is that wise? You're still a beginner.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Spoken like one who has already lost. Or someone worried I'm better than him.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What?'' [scoffs] ''Never.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Then perhaps it is time I teach you a thing or two. Don't keep me waiting, sensei! Yah!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''She is good. Even if I can best Rin, should I?''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Faster, Ite!''
[Player wins]
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''What a ride. Perhaps you too were born in a saddle.''
*'''Rin:''' ''So close! Admit it, I nearly had you!''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''I will do no such thing.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Next time you won't be as fortunate.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''For you to ride so well, so quickly, is very impressive. It took me years.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Where did you learn?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I started when I was very young. Back in my homeland. A country far across the ocean.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Tell me more about your home.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [sighs] ''I would not know where to begin.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Then... paint me a picture. How does it look out there?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It... is a very hot place. Different seasons, animals, and fruit. Golden sand. The rest, blue and green like an insect's wings. Before I came to this land, your country, I had never seen snow.''
*'''Rin:''' ''No winters?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A different kind of winter.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Did you say different fruit? Tell me you had plums! I cannot bear the thought of a life without plums.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''We had many other fruits.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Snow, I could do without. But no plums... what would life be?''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Here we are. Come, let's return the bracelet to its rightful owner.''
[]
*'''Child:''' ''Oh, Rin is back. Hello!''
[]
*'''Merchant:''' ''Rin! I didn't think we would see you again so soon. Are you well?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Yes, thank you. And I have something that belongs to you.''
[]
*'''Merchant:''' ''Oh! Slippery fingers. Must have dropped it between here and home. Have some onigiri. For your good deed.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Onigiri? Yasuke, this is special! You choose which kind.''
<tabber>
|-|Salmon=
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Salmon onigiri, please.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Oh. I'm sure it's delicious.''
*'''Merchant:''' ''Enjoy!''

|-|Plum=
**'''Yasuke:''' ''How about the plum?''
**'''Rin:''' [gasps] ''Really? That's my favorite!''

|-|Salted=
***'''Yasuke:''' ''The salted one sounds delicious.''
***'''Rin:''' ''Oh. I'm sure it's delicious.''
***'''Merchant:''' ''Enjoy!''

*'''Rin:''' ''While we are here, I want to check one more shop. If you don't mind. I love calligraphy. All the papers and brushes... I daydream about what I would paint.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am glad to know you have company. You have made real friends here.''
*'''Rin:''' ''What can I say? All that practice with my bow makes me hungry. And once I made friends with Ite, I enjoyed exploring all the areas that surround the hut. Here, I buy myself clothes when I need them. Paper for drawing. Oh! Another merchant sells excellent calligraphy brushes here.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I had no idea you enjoyed drawing.''
*'''Rin:''' ''It's one of my favorite ways to pass the time. I suppose what I enjoy, is... creating beauty. This world desperately needs it.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I agree.''
*'''Rin:''' ''But drawing the forest animals is challenging. They run too fast.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''I have the same problem.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''My favorite musician! Ignore the bottles. He's harmless. He's pretty good even when he drinks. He said he "purges his demons" with all that sake. He's always been kind to me.''
[]
*'''Musician:''' ''Riiin! Who's your friend? Hey, hey. The three-legged crow told me to practice day and night. I'm just doing what I was told!'' [hiccups]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Though the musician's methods are... questionable, I cannot help but admire his dedication to his art. Perhaps creating beauty is something we should all aspire to do.''
*'''Rin:''' ''You intrigue me, sensei. Tell me... what beauty do you intend to create?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The beauty of music. I would like to buy you an instrument of your own.''
*'''Rin:''' ''So, you want me to create beauty, then? I think I have enough hobbies for now. Perhaps... you could try to draw me instead? Let me see your eye for my details.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I would be honored.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Please, stand exactly as you are.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Perfect. Creating beauty is something you are already skilled at.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Come, Yasuke, I want you to see something.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Despite how we were brought together, I'm so grateful to have met you. Because of you, I can lead a different life. One I am proud of. One filled with excitement... and you.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''To be your sensei, however briefly, has been my honor. And if it pleases you, I would be glad to be counted among your friends.''
*'''Rin:''' [sighs] ''Friends. It would please me greatly. When you find that person who is right for you. I know you will make them very happy.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Thank you.''
*'''Rin:''' ''I'll go back home now. Until we meet again, sensei.''-->
