[ Unaware that his homeland of Rokugan - and its people - are merely his world's reflection of Japan as it was in the old days, Tashime is fooled into thinking that Japanese people like Minato are in fact of Rokugani descent. Since none of them carry daisho, he further assumes that those who do not carry the scent of having worked the fields or stables to be either monks or oracles. He kneels reverently before speaking. ]

Heaven's blessings upon you, Brother. I am Seppun Tashime. How may I serve a disciple of the Tao?
