"Don't worry about it. I accepted it long ago," he says with a shrug. "Miss them, but I can't do anything about it."
"But it must have been terrible! What disease could be so cruel?"

"Well, I guess my childhood is now pretty rosy by comparison. You seem to have a remarkable gift for just....getting over things, Taochusu. Tragedy, illness, beasts, enemies. It's as though they're not even really obstacles."

"I mean. At the time they were rough. But what good is dwelling on them gonna do? Easier to move on and look to the day you're living. Everyone has difficult stuff in the past, some more than others, but theres no point in being obsessed with it."

He pauses for a moment and leans against a tree to pull a thorn out of his leg, tossing it aside.

"If I didn't have to go through everything I did I never would have gotten to where I am. And I been able to meet lots of different people the past few days. Lots of real interesting folks."

Still clearly impressed by Taochusu's near inhuman stoicism
"Right, yes, very right." Clearing her throat "And who have the most interesting folks been?"

"I mean, everyone's got their thing. There's a couple of sisters that talk to each other using their hands. On of them can't really talk or hear, so that's neat. There's also a woman that makes weapons with animal teeth in them. Shark teeth. And a guy with a crow that seems way smarter than any other animal I've ever seen," he says, his idea of interesting apparently being unique more than anything else. "But everyone's got their own way of doing things and I've been alone for so long that they're all different from what I know."

"I haven't met any of them yet. Oh they sound very interesting, is the crow trained to do tricks? He's some kind of travelling performer?"

"I don't know about that. Seemed to do what it wanted to. It challenged me to a speed match while I was chopping wood. Wanted to see if it was faster than my axe. And it was, quick little bird. After that we shared a snack before I got back to work," he replies.

"No, it didn't talk. It sat on the log and... taunted me? Kept looking at me and pecking the log. Then the Shinsei guy told me that it was a challenge. And it apparently didn't hold any hard feelings cause it landed on my shoulder after," he explains.

"Huh. I guess I'll keep an eye out for any bird based challenges."
pause
"Shinsei? Wasn't he at the tournament of the Kami? I'm sure I've read that name."

"There was someone else working with me when we met him. He asked the same thing and Shinsei said something like that," he replies. "It's all over my head though."

"I don't know, you seem like the sort of person who'd figure it out, or at least not get confused."
Reaching the edge of the camp
"Maybe I should talk to this Shinsei some time."

"No reason not to talk to anyone here probably. Lots of chances to get to know folks. It's fun. I been enjoying talking with you too. Haven't really had a bad experience with anyone so far. Hope to keep it that way."

"Yeah, I suppose likewise. For a disparate group of people marching into the unknown it's...quite pleasant."
She bows politely to Taochusu
"And I wish you fortune in the hunting ahead."
