[video] un: matsukaze

[Not everyone is a natural at public speaking— the samurai in the video makes it clear he's counted among the many that struggle with this with the way he shifts after he turns the video on, almost pulling his leg up into a more casual sit, before resettling into seiza. He smiles but it's hesitant, guarded.]

Hello. Some of you may be seeing me for the first time— I'm Kaedehara Kazuha.

I wanted to make an announcement and an offer. I recently acquired a license to conduct blade-making business here in Nippon. As the last successor of the Isshin Art, it's my duty to my ancestors to restore our traditional smithing practices.

[He doesn't have this all as well planned out as he hoped, as he pauses after, his eyes lowering thoughtfully, somewhat hesitant.]

Some of the techniques cannot be replicated with the materials usually available in Nippon and I am admittedly inexperienced, though I hope to prove myself through skill. I plan to experiment utilizing the local magics and hopefully, eventually kizuna.

...I do not take commissions currently. However, I am offering free restorations, reforging, and other services on existing weapons, in exchange for being given time to study your weaponry.

Thank you.

[He smiles at the camera, bows a little in gratitude, then shuts it off.]

It makes me nervous at times!

[ Because she would like to be perfect all the time. No mistakes. And also because she's not quite used to this kind of work just yet. ]

But it has been a learning experience for me, as well. I like what I am doing, even though it is different from what I am used to.

Hehe, I suppose!

[ Practice, huh? Alright then, Kazuha. As for that part about being happy, though... ]

Do you recall when we first crossed paths here? It was the happiest I have ever seen you, even though we have only had a few instances of meeting in Inazuma.

[ He is still a dear friend, despite the minimal contact. ]

Being here in this realm has taught me so many new things, and has given me so many new experiences. I am happy, yes, especially as I have been given the opportunity to befriend so many people.
