You go to the dojo to finish off the week. It's not the ideal time, with your leg hurting and all, but who knows when the ideal time will be?
Although you are slowed down noticeably by your wound, it isn't quite as bad as all that. You do manage to pick up a few more tricks, and go over some of the things done in battle with your instructor, who doesn't seem that surprised that you'd have to defend yourself.
Anyway, you do feel you have learned something at the end of the week, although you don't think there is much more there to be learned here. the Wind school has some more advanced defensive techniques, and further training is available, but your dojo is a fairly low-end city dojo intended for beginning students. Furthermore, they teach unarmed techniques. Some things are fairly universal, but if you're fighting with a weapon, further unarmed instruction may not help much.
This week, you experience no dreams.
The weather continues fair with the flowers blossoming and the city full of sun and calm ocean breezes.
It's a good week for shopping and travelling, with the roads clear and a great many caravans and ships arriving. The markets are full of goods, both mundane and exotic, in addition to more than the usual amount of travellers and rural folk, coming to the city for their annual purchases. The city is full of action and there's much hustle and bustle going on, with people going about their business.
You have six actions available this week, as the weather is excellent and the city is full of people, so everything takes that much less time.
