Everyone would soon make their introductions and it seemed like they all had their unique uses that added something to the table. Obviously from seeing it firsthand or just knowing them, Kideme knew what to expect from nearly all of them. The other two would then speak up, and one was good with fire and poison while the other could play music. What a motley crew this would become, huh?

With Shien and Ayame still nearby, Kideme turned to face them. "Business is good! I'm booked solid at the parlor and with the gambling den, we get twice the business now at the tea house." She grinned wide. "Smashing. Tofu's fat as ever and makes a great pillow, and Shin always still sleeps with me and Winky. You'll have to come by and see them."

And quiet as ever, she noticed Masami just kind of keeping to herself and Kideme poked her arm. "Nice to see you again, Sami. I like the haircut." Yes, she was about four years too later but ohhh well!

When the boy tried to poke at her forehead, Kideme fluidly tilted back away from his prodding finger and beyond his reach."Just try to survive. Only during the raining months, and.... I think if that were the case, wouldn't all boys be water users?" Kideme smirked down toward the boy as he took the crackers she offered.

Not long after that, she noticed in her peripheral that the normally vociferous and jolly Duke was now quiet and looking pretty discomfitted. "Duke...?"

Now that they were all beginning to walk, Kideme took to the right flank of their center. With Hayato leading them in front, she kept her eyes peeled on her side. The music being played caused her to lightly bob her head but eventually, she would tune it out to keep listening out for any opposition. It seemed that after some days of quietude they would reach their destination, and Kideme was continuously glancing around, taking in all of its details.
