Action [Day 4, ME]

[Otomo Saisei]

If eyes could narrow more without closing, he would. Saisei inhales a bit snaps out of the zone of comfort. "Is Yoko-san implying I cannot trust Yusuke-sama, or that my master cannot count with me?"

[Yoko]

"Neither, normally," she shook her head, looking to Saisei and dipping her head. "Sorry if I implies otherwise with my words. Just meant that the ones caught in the loop, the ones who don't remember, are of.. limited use to fixing this whole mess, eh? Takes time to remind them of what's going on."

[Otomo Saisei]

"Indeed." He bows in returns. "I apologize for my questioning. The intention was not to be rude. I take it as a warning. Checking if my master is aware is a good call."

[Yoko]

"Don't worry about it Otomo-sama," she says, waving off the need with her hand. "Takes a lot more to offend me and my sensibilities, eh? Just.. dangerous time, be careful out there, hmm?"

[Otomo Saisei]

He nods to her, "Hai. I'll do my best. Thanks for worrying once again, Yoko-san."

A thought occus, and he replies, "Forgive my lack of attention, but, didn't you mention you were in service to someone when we talked previously?"

[Yoko]

"Likely," she nods, quirking her brow. "Tsuruchi Shouji, of the Mantis. Although.. well, it was Moshi Minari who performed the process. They've been good to me in the time I have shared with them, and I do what I can to honor that. Although.. I am afraid I've made things more difficult through my actions. Something I will repay them for,' she said with a touch of confidence, giving him a short nod.

[Otomo Saisei]

"More difficult?" He blinks a bit, "I do not understand how these negotiations go. Care to share with me?"

[Yoko]

"Hiring me means to associate with me, eh?" she shrugs. "It still reflects a bit," she said, looking off into the village.

[Otomo Saisei]

"Reflects to what. I am confused. What is this that Yoko-san owes the Mantis?" He raises an eyebrow.

[Yoko]

"Nothing to worry about, eh?" she looked to him and offered a smirk, a nod. "They stuck their neck out for me further than they needed to and it went over well. That's all. Gotta repay the kindness you receive."

[Otomo Saisei]

"I am unsure if that's commendable or uncouth, yet, I do give the benefit of the doubt through compassion. I hope that you fulfill that which you must repay the Mantis." The Otomo remarks, having somewhat a similar feeling for a personal matter.

[Yoko]

"I'm not sure myself, but I'm gonna hope it's commendable, eh?" she said with a smirk, "anyway.. unless you need me for anything else, maybe I should get going eh? Least we got an idea of what people know now."

[Otomo Saisei]

He nods. "Indeed. It is good that we move forward. Thank for the tip. I'll check with Yusuke-sama when I get a chance. May the Kami light your path."

[Yoko]

"Doubt they'll care much for little ol' me, eh?" she said, leaning off the fountain and stepping out a few before turning about on a heel. Opening her arms a bit, "Just another ronin, eh?" she said with a smirk but waved off the thought with her hand.

"But you do that. Even in days like this we gotta remember who we are, what we are, eh?" she said with another little chuckle but before he could say more she gave him a quick dip of the head and turned, starting to walk away.

[Otomo Saisei]

The Otomo provides a bow as she departs and a quirked eyebrow to her reply.
