Oye, was she in trouble? Was this the "final conversation"? Had he come here to tell her that she was being fired, transferred to another team or being sent back to the academy for remedial lessons? She hoped not. Kai's stomach was in knots the whole way from walking to the door to face. But when she opened it, she was shocked to see that he actually looked....pleased? Or strangely placid. Sensei always looked like he was annoyed or dismayed, so for him to look like he was in good spirits was offputting, but welcome.

Even more was the fact that he wanted to go for a walk and then train her. Itsuki and Shun weren't with him, and it didn't seem like they would be joining them. Then again, she was also aware that their last training went on without her, so perhaps today was an opportunity to play catch up? That would be good. "Eloquent. Can I change shoes?" She stepped back to allow him inside. Assuming he had done so, he'd come into a large living room that was lined wall to wall with books, with a small round velvet green sectional and a glass coffee table that was home to a pile of more books, a birdcage and a bonsai tree.

When Sensei asked about her parents, Kai turned and looked up at his searching face with a slightly worried look. "Oh, she's....MUHOU!" She turned, calling out for her mother, skuttling off to the kitchen and dining room beyond, shucking off her gloves and depositing the parrot back into its cage on the way. Hardly a couple minutes later, Kai returned with a woman who looked to be in her early forties, with black hair pulled into a neat chignon and sporting an apron and short lab coat. Unlike her flighty-natured daughter, Ayako Hirasaka-Sagara was stoic and calm. Upon seeing Tomomi, she nodded in respectful greet to him. "Good day, Lord Hyuuga. Is all well? What can I do for you today?" Behind her, Kai stared at them both while she hastily slipped on a pair of jika-tabi sandals.
