With a smile, Kideme hugged the boy tight when he wrapped his arms around her. It felt good to help out someone who had it a lot harder than she did and Kideme hoped Akui would thrive with having a chosen family to support him. She lightly rubbed her hand over his silvery white hair as she felt him sob with joy, not expecting that sort of reaction. "Of course!"

When dinner rolled around, true to her promise, Akui's favorite meal and dessert were prepared and he was naturally allowed to enjoy it in her office while Kideme feasted on her own and leisurely read over some documents. Truthfully, she couldn't help but smile at seeing his horrendous table manners. Even if she hadn't grown up wealthy, basic dining etiquette was one thing she'd been taught and raised to know. So whatever this boy had been through to not know just showed how rough he had it. If she, the nutty girl with an affinity for the strange could learn how to act like a lady, she could certainly teach Akui how to conduct himself like a gentleman. And when he got up and brought her a cricket in a cage for good luck, she graciously accepted it and hugged him with her free arm. "Thank you, Akui, I love it! I'll be sure to wear this on my mission next week." After the two of them finished eating, Kideme would escort Akui to the little house attached to the Okiya where overnight security resided. The two men, Tenku and Yasuke would be introduced to their newest housemate. Tenku, who was a stockly built young man in his mid-twenties wasn't much of a talker but very friendly, while Yasuke was quite tall and a bit older with long dirty blonde hair and much more talkative. From there, the men welcomed in Akui and Kideme left it to them to get the boy's lodgings in order.

Two weeks later....

After a grueling nightmare of a failed mission, Kideme returned back to the teahouse. She needed a couple days to recoup but after that, she was back to work. But with clearing her showtime schedule for a little while, Kideme was helping out on the first floor during the day for now. So now that she was feeling back to normal and in the right head space, she came to check on Akui. From what she had heard, quite a few things transpired and a LOT of changes were made, so now she was here to find out everything. Dressed to the nines as usual in a baby blue and kimono, Kideme would approach him now and take a seat nearby. "Brown morning, Akui. How are things?" If he looked closely, he would see that the little cage he gave her was hanging by a red silken cord from her obi ties. Inside it was the same cricket too, since it would have survived the attacks of everything and assuming it was willed back to returning to her person.
