More than happy to oblige the implied break, Kideme followed Duke to the waterfall. It reminded her of the one she'd found years ago and would eventually show to Shien, but this one was much much bigger and more scenically pleasing to the eye. At his invite to come sit down, she rolled her eyes but came over to sit by him, taking off her own shoes and slid forward so that her feet and ankles were dipped into the water. "I never knew this was out here. I love waterfalls." She admitted in earnest.

While Duke laid on his back, Kideme leaned onto her side, propping herself on her right elbow and resting her cheek on her palm. She listened to him talk of how he and his sister were close through losing their father and she nodded. Losing her own father at a young age, Kideme suffered a similar effect of her and her mother having to fend for themselves. "That sounds really rough, but it does explain why she does always seem so stressed out. But you seemed to have turned out all right. So at least her hard work has paid off." With a smile, Kideme idly fiddle with the grass in front of her. "I kind of envy you. My father died when I little too, and it's always just been me and Mame. We didn't become really close though, she took care of me while we built the tea house, but once it was finished, she was always busy and our kimono designer Yasu used to watch me  until I joined the academy..." Kideme then held up Winky, who'd been hanging at her hip always so silently. "I think that's why I like dolls. They look like little people, and you can talk to them and not worry about them ignoring you."
