Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	A sunny day in the Yellow River. There is a lone man in what seems to be the clothing of a Ysri prince sitting in a rowboat all by himself. He seems to be waiting for someone albeit with dread as he just stares at the water. "I live in the Dreaming Sea but are riversharks a thing? Never seen one before. Oh right river dragons are a thing" He chuckles albeit grimly as he is waiting for whatever is in the water. Suddenly,  a red headed shirtless man leaps out of the water carrying a hook sword into the boat as it shakes, resulting in the Ysri panicking "By heaven's, you could have gotten me drowned!" His panic turns to irritation. "Well I caught some few fishes but sadly the really fast and big one got away." He chuckles as despite his disappointment, he shrugs it off
Fudou the Mountain	The banks of the river are usually fairly active given the activity that comes up and down the river itself..but the river is vast and so are the shorelines. As such, the area is mostly empty when man leaps out of the water to land upon the small boat. That doesn't account for wild life, though. A large hawk takes notice of this event from its resting place upon a tree where it had been observing the river for..something or another. Perhaps preparing to fish itself. Or not. It lifts up from the tree and circles behind it, towards a large boulder, where in a flash of movement and the twinkling of an eye, there is no longer a hawk but a very..very..very large man. Fudou stretches up to his full height, rumbling air and ground with his monstrous bulk and physique as he shakes his arms out to loose them up..and then begins approaching the river bank with heavy thudding steps.
Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	"Well at least you got food for later. I plan to cook your catches for lunch but too bad there are no lobsters here but I may buy some from Great Fork's wet markets" The Ysri comments while checking the catches. "Met any godblooded like yourself yet? I hope this vacation of yours was worth it" Bakunawa says while managing his catches. "I meet some in a district and particularly the daughter of a god of lucky charms. She gave me one for a souvenir. Thank god this city is filled with exigents since you can pose as o-...wait what's that?" The Ysri notices the presence of a large man near the riverbanks with fear in his eyes. "Oh its that uhh strength exigent or godblood? I don't know"
Fudou the Mountain	"H'lo there!" Fudou's deep voice booms across riverbank and river itself. A loud basso rumbling shout that is emphasized by his massive waving arms. "Going for a swim! Catching fish? Did you catch enough for me??" HIs words should make it clear that he saw that impressive leap from the water but he seems fairly affable. Cheerful even. "I would pull you to me or maybe I should pull the shore to you!" he calls out while clapping his masssive hands together. His pectorals bunch up. A rumbling sinewy obscene flex despite the causal movements. An indication that he's perhaps not kidding on literally attempting to physically move the shareline.
Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	"Your name was Fudou was it? Well you certainly are a big guy but I think we have enough for you. Mostly some fishes, river clams and crustaceans" Bakunawa then turns to his godblooded friend "And I see you haven't meet one of my lov-I mean friends Radamantus. He's a godblood but he's not from Great Forks since he is from the Dreaming Sea. He came here to meet others like him since the other alternative is Prasad, which is his nation's rivals" The Ysri gives an embarrassed look at the mercenary as he almost mentions they were more than friends. "It's ok, I steered ships bigger than this rowboat after all" He politely refuses as he paddles his boat to the shore for he is an experienced sailor
Fudou the Mountain	"I jest mostly. I don't want your food. I'd have to take all of it! I take quite abit to fill up. I'll find my own meal. I was just curious about your swimming technique." Fudou places one foot upon a large rock and leans forward, resting a massive arm atop his upraised knee and his other hand on his waist. "Ooooh..so you know me then?" There's a pause as memory returns to him and he wags a massive finger at the sailor, "HEeeey...I have seen you before. It was some time ago. A tea house? Or was it a dive tavern. Tiziri was there I believe. I thought you from the Dreaming Sea. You're far from there. Prasad eh? Did I tell you I'm from Volivat?"
Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	"Ah Volivat, land of the alchemists creating giant men right? I hear it's also one of Ysr's enemies isn't that right Radamantus" He jests to his friends but the godblood sighs "I'm not like my father or my fellows who are resentful at the sight of people from other nations in the Southeast. But I do disagree with some of my nation's ways" Radamantus responds as he finds such hate petty. "Well I'm just joking Radamantus. But anyway, for my swimming technique, it's from my heritage from a sea goddess....well one of the sea demon goddess's souls since Fudou already knows. I have gills after all that I cannot hide"
Fudou the Mountain	"Some are giants. Not all. I'm abit of an extreme case. Muscle and breeding and more muscle and fighting and breeding." remarks Fudou, sounding cheerful despite the bixarre admission. "But yes you speak of the Yennin. As to the method? Well That's state secrets now isn't it. Nevermind that I left without permission and have made my way here to adventure in the east, years ago." Fudou's massive arms fold as he turns to look over the god blooded companion with interest, "..and not just enemies with YSyr. It is both Ysyr and Parsad that they contend with. I suppose only Palanquin is truly neutral in all of that squabbling. As to your swimming? Impressive. But with that hook sword I'm surprised you're not involved in the Congregation of Victory at all."
Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	"The Congregation Of Victory? Ah that competition between exalts and I remember seeing as mortal somehow winning which surprised me. I do not have the intentions to join yet since my swordsmanship needs more work" He says while drying his blade. "I don't know if there will be one next year, so I may join if I can" His godblooded companion then comments. "Well I guess this is the first time me meeting a Yennin and thankfully not in a battlefield. Thank gods my father isn't here, since he would be pissed even if I befriend someone from other nations. Although I'm Ysri, I was born in Palanquin myself since my mother is a minor god there before it was conquered"
Fudou the Mountain	"I know another from Ysyr. a very beautiful priestess who lives in the city." comments Fudou as he looks to the god blooded. "A shame your father feels that way. There's much to glean from meeting others from other lands. If nothing else you can learn something about how to defeat them on the field of battle. Learn how they think." Fudou grins a little and then says, "I must correct one assumption. The competition is not simply about the exalted. The Dragonbood and Exigents are no doubt going to end up making the most waves but as you've just noted, a mortal was able to best an over confident Immaculate Monk. There are great skills on display. You shouldn't sell your swordsmanship short."
Lintha Sennong Bakunawa	"Ah there's a Ysri in the city here as well? I will be very glad to meet here but I wonder about her reasons staying here." Radamantus says with a curious manner as he wonders about this priestess. "Well you can meet her if you want to Radamantus, you will have lots of time her in Great Forks and your father isn't barking you orders" After Bakunawa encourages his Ysri friend he turns to Fudou. "Hmm I should try joining then even if I will loose. Even if I don't know some sword based martial arts. But anyway, We are should be busy cooking our catches so see you later"
