She was mostly scanning Tiatsu's face and physical while he spoke. He seemed to be acting the same as usual, but something seemed off about him. Kideme couldn't quite put her finger on it but there was something amiss. When he pushed the envelope into her chest, she looked a bit suspicious but said nothing. That was when ....a part of his cheek....flaked off? And something luminescent and bright shone from his face immediately following that. As that happened, Winky, who'd always been hanging down by Kideme's hip as ever, her eyes flashed bright white momentarily. Whatever it was, Tiatsu tried to obscure with his hand and promptly ran off. He bid her adieu, but she didn't have much of a chance to wish him the same before splitting. "Take care...."

The door had already been shut by the time Kideme pulled her spyglass from the lapel of her obi. Holding it over her eye, she went to the door and opened it, but he and his father were already gone. With a sigh, she dropped it back into her obi and turned back to the goings-on within the parlor. Now wasn't the time to play detective anyway, she'd check Winky's film roll later.

Ayame and Hayato were....somewhere. Duke was dancing his off with the girls and then there was Shien. Food seemed to sober him up since now he was quiet and waving her over. Doing so,  Kideme approached and nodded to his question. "She asked if she could work here part time. She's actually a pretty decent waitress and great with customers." Hopefully Shien wouldn't give her such a hard time about it. Plus as best friends, Kideme would naturally look out for his sister.

Taking a seat on the lounge, Kideme dropped and tucked her hands into her lap. "I've been dandy. No complaints. How about you?" She smiled toward him a bit apologetically. "Thank you for doing so. If you come during the day, it's probably because I'm either asleep or on the road. Try coming closer to twilight, I'm usually home by then." But when he mentioned Tofu, she couldn't help but break into laughter and hunched his shoulder. "What can I say, he loves bacon and he found a taste for crickets after I stopped." She looked away a bit guilty on that last part.

But when he asked the question of maps and exploration, Kideme faced him, looking a bit pensive. Admittedly since the sendoff for the armada, Kideme did feel guilty for how things went. Things were a little smoky right now, but she still liked him and surely did not dislike him. So perhaps doing this would be a good way to start making amends. Kideme had lost a few friends to drama, to misunderstandings, and naturally the ugly truth of the shinobi lifestyle. In her opinion, that was a few too many and she didn't want lose any more. And certainly, she didn't want to lose another over a grudge that he'd already pledge to make up for.

"Sure...I'll have some time off next month. But...how far do you think we'll be trailing?" She asked while mentally going over her schedule. Depending on where they went and how long they'd be gone, she could probably tweek things to where they could explore without her having to even worry about work.
