She nodded slowly.

"No and you wouldn't necessarily. Forgive me again, Shosuro-sama. You open the gates to me and grant me reprieve and for you I have only questions. Questions and a handful of ashigaru who are worry about their farms and wonder why they are in Lion lands with spring around the corner and families to feed."

"Hardly the only ones worried", said Kitamaru. "If you have business, ddon't allow me to keep you. Perhaps we can meet another time when you are settled."

Yuko rose, bowed and apologized again.

"Arigato, Shosuro-sama. You have set my mind aflame. Please," she said, catching sight of his flute, "perhaps I can listen to you play some time."

She smiled.

"I will likely be at the Embassy, I expect. Thank you again for opening the gates. May the Fortunes guide you, Shosuro-sama."

With that, she took her leave to go and find out what had become of her clan.

Kitamaru bowed as she left, then refilled his tea. Though perhaps he'd warmed up enough.
