If there's still room, I would like to throw my hat in the ring. I'm gonna put this post here and after dinner make my character. Probably going to be a rogue.
Backstory: Born the youngest daughter of Hashira Tetsuyuki, she was his last attempt at a son. With the loss of his wife during childbirth, he treated Tetsu as if she were the son he never had. He trained her in the way of the sword, and as she grew older, he trained her in the ways of deceit. She acted as her fathers spy, often being brought to parties with her older sisters. She would break off from the party and snoop around for her father. Her older sisters were married off to make alliances, but she was used to ensure them.
Does everyone still know that Prince Shotoko forced the girls out to find a new Ronin master to help them with their living situation? It's the Asuka Period currently, so they would need to open up to the Ronin in question of course.
All right ladies, what do you say? Do we feed him to the pigs in pieces? Kelumash was addressing her friends, her eyes were fixed on the 2 legged jackal standing before them in the armour of one who serves.
A Ronin approached the ladies and offered him his hand. "I'm sorry, but are you girls lost...? I have a place nearby, do you think...maybe I could bring you there? I can offer you all shelter."
(Yes to both) "My name is Matsura, I'm...a friend of the emperor. He decided to cast me out and I was looking for some maids to help me through some trouble times. Maybe, I can....offer you some combat training too...?"
Kita crosses her arms across her chest and glares at Matsura. Looking perfectly balanced on the balls of her feet, she fixes him with a measuring stare for a long while. Then she looks at her companions with one eyebrow raised as if asking their opinions.
"I wouldn't really do anything to you. You girls seem rather cold and to be honest, if you wish to sleep outside, cold with no food or shelter. That's fine by me, I just thought I'd be nice. But since you've already made your decision. I suppose I'll leave." Matura sighed. He was sad that he couldn't get a clear answer out of them. He did all he could, but it was not meant to be. Putting his leg forward and turning around, he was slowly about to leave to head back to his place.
(Would it be fine to assume that Tetsu hid a dagger on herself based on her backstory?)
Tetsu looks over at Kita, then to Matsura, then back to Kita. She is unsure of what to say. Normally she would defer to her father or sisters in social situations. Not having seen any of them since the night of the fire, she is worried for their safety. She eyes Matsura suspiciously, looking to spot any danger and wondering his true intentions.
Tsuba looks to her fellow servants and then says, "Wait Matsura. We would appreciate the help just know if you try anything funny I will have to kill you."
Tsuba uses thaumaturgy before calling out to Matsura to turn her eyes black and will cast it again to make the ground shake once he turns around and after she finishes her threat.
In case you ask me to roll.

The Ronin was getting rather tired. He gestured the girls to come to him. "Won't you come with me? I do feel quite lonely...at the moment. I swear, I'm not going to attack you."
We're not your wives, we're not your slaves, and we're damn sure not your whores. If any of that is a problem then now is your time to walk away. If any of that is a problem later then you're gonna be begging to be fed to the pigs in pieces. Are we clear?

Character Sheet
This is good
Does everyone still know that Prince Shotoko forced the girls out to find a new Ronin master to help them with their living situation? It's the Asuka Period currently, so they would need to open up to the Ronin in question of course.

A Ronin approached the ladies and offered him his hand. "I'm sorry, but are you girls lost...? I have a place nearby, do you think...maybe I could bring you there? I can offer you all shelter."
Kita takes a step forward, clearly not fazed or intimidated by the stranger. "Who are you and what exactly is it that you want?" she quizzes him.

“I am happy to follow you, Matsura. But I will not leave my friends. We all come or none do”. Kita figures if no one else will take a lead, she will.

“I believe we will come,” declares Kita, moving protectively to the front.
