"Most divination are cryptic messages that one must interpret... and well..." She looked up at Ayumu. "I... I think we should be careful to whom we give our names to... You see my divination was more like... Mind your name."

The remark triggered something in Ayumu's mind:Inga wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 7:01 amInga pursed her lips.

"That reminds me of something. Someone told me about the power of names in recent past. But not as clearly.
I think that was Reiko. Need to check my notes to be sure, but probably her. She wanted to spread the name of Fu-Leng as much as possible. To support his strength. I found the wording strange at that time. Maybe there was more to it that I initially thought."
He tried to focused back on the present:
"Thanks for the advise Inga. I'll be careful.
Maybe you should also talk to someone with the knowledge and the skills to actually understand the full ramifications of this name thing. Dunno who though."
A concerned look at her clean unease:
"Also... Just... Are you alright?"

She placed her hand on the Jiyo's shoulder and gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks, I think I'll go to that place they call library. I heard there is information there." Inga smiled to try relief his concern letting go of his shoulder. "I am fine... Don't worry... I still live." The girl giggled.Jiyo Ayumu wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 2:32 pm

Ayumu looked at her with a tiny smile who he hoped was reassuring:
"If you need my help for anything, you know you just have to ask. And if you just need to talk, I'll happily listen."

"Thank you." The young woman smiled. "Now, let eat... I sure you made the best food." She walked towards the table not before giving the skeletal man a brief hug. It was not often she was appreciated.

"Aw, but I know that you're secretly a ray of sunshine behind it all, Sora," Saruko teased as she finished her breakfast quickly. The Saru Daimyo certainly didn't waste time picking at her food.
"Oh, by the way, if you want to bring something back to the children, I've been pressing the flowers I've found so far on this journey. It's not as nice as fresh flowers, but it preserves much of how they look like."

For the children, a piece of Nezumi craft might be interesting too. Do they make toys?"

"Ooooh... Nezumi craft of some sort is a good idea. I should look into that too." She figured her own children might be more interested in that.
"I don't know if Nezumi children have toys... I will have to look into that."

At Ayumu's mention of Nezumi toys and Saruko's taking up the idea, he nodded.
"See, that's why Ayumu's the brains of the Imperial operations on this mission. I'm just the winning smile and diplomatic grace."

She shuddered a little at the idea of flowers with teeth.
As Sora proclaimed himself the social butterfly of the Imperial duo, Saruko looked at Ayumu. "Be very afraid."

She laughed warmly. "Ah. Yes. Karasu is quite the clever little food-thief too."
"I just can't bring myself to be mad for long at either of them though... especially Han-Han since I haven't seen him in so long. The children must be very happy with him around?"
