"Doji Sakura" softly scratched at the door of a certain Advisor.

"Doji-sama, it is I, Doji Sakura. May I bother you?" she asked softly.

The door opens to reveal a short, white-haired woman in traveling cloak. She looks the "Crane" up and down, then smiles warmly. "What a pleasant surprise."

'Sakura" bowed low. "Doji-sama, gomenasai!!" She apologized in an energetic manner.

"Has Doji-sama heard?"

Suiminko tilts her head slightly to one side. "What are you talking about?"

Shosuro Sara · **Joined:** Fri Apr 03, 2020 6:50 pm **Posts:** 689

"Of the evacuation of course Doji-sama." 'Sakura' stepped in and seemed like a busybody. "We must run from the enemy, from its many forces and ghosts and monsters! The governor said so! How can I help?"

The room was sparse, and decorated in the colors of the Lion. Suiminko didn't seem to have any personal effects with her.

"You should evacuate with the Lion as quickly as possible," the Advisor replies, still standing near the door.

"Ie, the Lions can handle themselves." She seemed on the border of panic.

"I shall not lose you Doji-sama! We cannot afford to lose such an important samurai! The Crane need you!"She was trembling at this point.

OOC:
Forgot to note, tn 40 to see through disguise. Lemme know if any Sincerity roll is needed at any point.

Suiminko watches 'Sakura' for a long moment, then sighs soft and steps forward toward her. "Calm down," she says, her tone firm but understanding. "Deep breaths. Panic never solves a problem."

'Sakura' took deep breaths. "Gomen Doji-sama, but ever since my older brother tragically died in that rock gardening accident, I am prone to hysteria."

She knelt on the floor, bowing her head. "Gomenasai!"

Suiminko sighed once more. "I am leaving for the evacuation. You can remain her me, of you can leave the city. Those are your options."

She steps out into the hallway, leaving Sara alone in the sparsely decorated room.

Sakura followed the advisor as she was leaving. "I am of course coming with you Doji-sama! How can I help? Do you need perfume? Or paper? Or someone to braid your hair?"

"Perhaps once we reach Nikesake. None of those are necessary just now." She pauses in the hallway to wait for 'Sakura' to catch up. "Just stay close and try not to stand in the way of any bushi moving quickly."

"Hai Doji-sama, of course." Still affecting the airhead, Sarasakura followed the Advisor. "Was Doji-sama there when it happened? When....when the Emperor was killed?"

"I would prefer to focus on the matter at hand," she says, walking quickly and not looking back at 'Sakura.' "Do you have everything you need?"

Shosuro Sara · **Joined:** Fri Apr 03, 2020 6:50 pm **Posts:** 689

"Hai Doji-sama. Sadly I lost everything in the....you know, Doji-sama." She seemed flustered running after the woman as best as she could.

Damn woman, why isn't she a gossip like every other Doji out there?

"I will gladly assist Doji-sama in everything that must be done. Perhaps we can think of things to do while on the road. Oh! any letters that need writing?"

The Imperial Advisor pauses at a hallway, glances both ways, then turns right. "My letters have already been sent, Sakura-san. Waiting until the last moment to act invites disaster. Remember that." Her tone was such that she didn't seem to be paying too much attention to her Crane shadow.

"Hai Hai Doji-sama. Such sage advice." She nodded.

"Doji-sama, I left something in my room. I am just going to get it, if that is fine. I will join you in the evacuation."

"Very well, do not get lost." Suiminko presses forward, not even sparing a backward glance for the airheaded Crane.
