Much to his delight, there was little in the way of fiction, and instead was a healthy myriad of nonfiction, medical/pharmaceutical studies and historical books on the shelves. Given her appearance and the arrangement of the front lawn, Tomomi could likely deduct that all the more biological books belonged to Kai's mother. Meanwhile, on the lower shelves closer to the girl's height of reach were biographies on famed dignitaries from the samurai and ninja classes, as well as a few volumes on  philosophy, the past shinobi wars and a full appendix of weapons, metals and their uses in combat. The rest were mostly books on the elements on how they can be applicable in everyday use, ranging from paper and water, to glass and obsidian.

"Of course, I shall be in the back garden should you need anything from me." She  bade with a furtive nod of her head. Although no kind of concern registered on her face, Ayako did crack a slight smile from his added comment as her eyes slanted to Kai. Kai, in turn, gave her a crooked grin that looked more like a serial killer's grimace. "Be good," Was all her mother would say before looming back toward the kitchen. With the right shoes on and strapping on her hip pack, Kai trailed back towards Tomomi, letting him exit first. Once he had, she was right behind him, securing the door locked with a pair of dead bolt keys.

"What did I miss?" Kai let him lead while she put her hood over her head and then let her hands disappear into the shapeless void beneath her cloak. Without moving her head, her eyes darted all around, watching to see where they were headed.
