"Oh... Katashima! I'm from there too!" Kiara was new to Tawakoshi herself. "Youre from one of the shinobi clans? I wonder why you're not allowed... I wonder if they know that Lord Genji is keeping you," she said. "For me...... I almost died before coming here.."

The thought of those Shogun pet shinobi knowing where she was, still in the country...
She latched onto Kiara's words, anything to keep such a thought from her mind. "I'm glad you survived. Did you struggle to get here, too?" she asks, somehow keeping her voice level.

"Yes." Kiara almost shuddered to think of what had happened. "I was at home. There was a really big war... everything was destroyed... I was with a caretaker family at the time. We were living in a country home off of the land, and they said we were some of the few survivors left," she said. "I got lost in a forest and tried to go home... and it started to get really foggy. And the fog just wouldn't go away... so I kept on going and I got hungry and I found a glowing mushroom. At first I didn't eat it but then I found more and soon I was so hungry I took a few bites," she said. Just as Ketsueki had said more than she thought she should have, Kiara had been wanting to tell this story to anyone she felt she could trust who would listen. "Well I think it was poisonous because everything got really really weird.. and I fell down and couldn't get up and I just can't even describe it... then everything went black, like I was sleeping. After that I saw a glowing man or a person, and they told me it wasn't my time yet. And it was in the most beautiful garden Ive ever seen....." She stopped now, realizing that she probably sounded crazy like she was making things up.

After Nakatani was done serving the guests she decided she had deserved some time of her own. She would find herself back in the garden soon enough, attracted by its serenity. Especially the Sakura tree in the middle reminded her of old times.
But before she would reach the tree, she would spot two people in the courtyard, she made her way over to them soon enough and when she got close enough would recognize at least one of them. "Ketsueki-san, I am so glad you seem to be feeling better." she bowed down to her in respect before turning to her smaller companion. She was a bit shocked to see the girl that was there. "Arn't you.. Kiara-chan? How did you find your way here from Isra?" Being taken back by the sudden appearance of the girl in the estate she forgot her initial etiquettes

It was, indeed, an odd tale. Ketsueki listened intently, though, and said nothing against it. It certainly sounded like the ramblings of a crazy person, but the girl spoke in a way that seemed sincere - like the youthful innocence of child that couldn't make this up.
Nakatani's voice brought her head around quickly, initially startled but quickly relaxing when she realized who it was. The woman made Ketsueki feel more at ease, and she was more than happy to see her. She might be the only person around besides the newly acquainted Kiara that the woman felt she was safe around. "Hello, Nakatani-san," she greets quietly, choosing to remain silent as apparently the two were familiar with each other and spoke of something else. She didn't want to be rude.

"Yes! I've seen you before!" Kiara had also been containing her shock for seeing Nakatani earlier. She knew she had sen her before! She had the same question for Nakatani, but Nakatani also probably had a better answer, so she didn't ask. "I ummm.... I hid on a boat," she said. "I finally made it here.." she said, feeling somewhat embarrassed still for the story she just told Ketsueki.

"Well I am glad you did." she said with a kind smile, though she was a bit unsure how a boat had gotten her to there parts. It had taken her many different ways of travel to finally find her way here. Foreigners seemed to avoid the place. "Welcome to the Hizashi Mansion Kiara-chan."
She then turned back to Ketsueki. "Are you feeling comfortable staying here Ketsueki-san? I am sure it must all be very traumatic considering..." she gently took her hands, only to find out her fingers had completly healed. Instead of being crooked they were now perfectly straight and all seemed functional.
"Your hands.. How did they heal so quickly?"

Ketsueki allowed the woman to take her hands, flexing the newly healed digits to show that they were very much mended and able to work again.
"... I trust it's a quiet matter, but I also believe you're not one to gossip. Lord Genji called in this girl, and she mended my hands instantly. Though magicks, I believe," she adds with a careful whisper. "Now it's as if they were never broken to begin with."

"That is fascinating. I wish I could have been that helpfull to you Ketsueki-san. But I really am glad you feel safe enough to walk the gardens. I find them very calming, a great place to clear your mind from the bad things that have happened to you. I take it lord Genji took mercy on you?"

Instinctively, her hand went out to gently touch Nakatani's - wanting to offer some sort of reassurance that her presence was just as helpful as the magicks that healed her broken fingers. Though her words failed her at the moment in that regard.
But she nods at the mention of the gardens - as they really did help soothe her troubles, if only for the moment. She wasn't sure she could ever come to terms with her misfortunes right now. At the mention of the Daimyo, she couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh.
"I can only hope that, in my being here and your careful tending to me rather than my being shipped out to exile, this is a sign that he is granting a mercy on me. But I do not know what it is he will want from me, nor if I will be able to fulfill the request should one arise."

Nakatani gave her a reassuring squeeze in her hand. "I am sure that whatever he is planning for you is something that will be suited for you. Lord Genji had that talent." She paused to smile at her and averted her gaze towards the water.
"If there ever is a moment you need to speak about your worries and troubles, know you can come to me Ketsueki-san. And anything you tell me will stay between the two of us. I promise."

She could only nod in understanding - knowing full well that Nakatani would likely let her spill her troubles... the problem was, the shame ran deep in regards to the actions taken upon her. She wasn't sure she could reveal those details to anyone, or at least not right now. Especially with Kiara here - a child didn't need to hear things like that.
"Thank you, Nakatani-san," she murmurs, holding on to her hand as long as she might be allowed to do. This woman helped ground her, keep her from becoming completely detached and at the mercy of this new world. "I hope to be able to speak of... of certain things to you. But right now, I'm not sure that I can."

"That is alright. I won't force you to talk to me. I just wish that once you are ready to open your heart you will do so. Don't let your past darken your heart and trouble your soul."
"Why don't you join me on my walk to the shrine tomorrow Ketueki-san? Even if you can't talk to me right now, maybe you can ask for the favor of your fanily spirits there." She smiled kindly, hoping she was making it clear she would never judge her. Nakatani was the type of person to only take judgement of the way she experienced people. Not their past or their future. She had learned that people showed their true heart at the most deperate of times. And Ketsueki seemed to be in a very sad place.

It was easier said than done. She wasn't sure how to overcome the terrors and ill images of her heart when they were always there. She didn't even feel like the same person.
The invitation to join Nakatani in a walk to a Kami shrine took her attention for the moment - perhaps it was necessary. Maybe she could find some peace there, and she would nod her head with a bit of enthusiasm. "I think I shall. It may be what I need right now - and becoming more familiar with the area couldn't hurt."

Nakatani was overjoyed that she accepted her invitation. She had been worried about the woman ever since she had seen her first in the private meeting room from Genji.
She knew it would take a long time before the would be able to break through her shield. She was broken and probably more then ones and had a lot of inner turmoil to face before she could be happy again.
Even though she was still locked off, nakatani felt as though she had poked a small hole in that thick shield. And maybe if you kept working she would be able to call the woman a friend.
"I always start my walk shortly after breakfast. If you meet me at the front gates we shall walk together. Make sure you are well rested. She shrine has many steps to be climbed Ketsueki-san."

The woman nods again, liking the idea more and more as she mulled it over.
"Then I shall see you after breakfast in the morning?" she asks, unsure if this was a parting for the time being. Honestly, the idea of rest sounded wonderful - if she could manage it with few or no nightmares for once.

"Yes, I will see you in the morning." She smiled and then started to get up.
"I have to attend to the guests now. If you will excuse me." She turned to Kiara. "I hope to see you around Kiara-chan." She smiled sweetly gain.
Then she turned around and walked away elegantly back to the mansion.

Shocked into silence by his actions, Anzen could only watch in as he walked away. It would be a few moments before she finally called out her farewell. "Matane, Setoku-kun." It would be then that she would notice the presence of Kaen. She glanced over him quickly then bowed gently. "It is fine, Kogoeshinu-san, was it? What can I help you with? Kaen smiled a but putting his arms in his sleeves, "Honestly, I am famished miss but alas I have no guide to my new home." He bowed his ead slightly " May I have the honor of having you as my guide?" There was something erriely familiar about this woman, he had seen her before but did not know where. |

"I can take you to eat. Is there anything else you need help finding?" Anzen took a moment to pick up her large book that laid on the ground and tucked it back into the crook of her before using her free hand to flick her fan open. Slowly fanning herself, she started walking at just the right pace for him to keep up.

Setoku slipped in from the gate, keeping his head down. It wasn't so much out of any particular reason, he was just in deep thought. His new flashy haori, metal lined Geta, this was clearly a man of refined taste. No more bare feet walking for him. But, with a quiet confidence and his recent discovery, too much occupied his mind to worry about paying the others much attention. He silently made his way to the least occupied area of the courtyard, and stood in contemplation.
