"Standard?" She raised her eyebrow. "Oh, no. I do not have sexual relations with men like that; no, at the moment I am quite desperate. As you can see, my clan's in chaos. There is no heir. My body is dying as we speak because of a monster that is sealed within me." She paid no mind to his insults, sighing at his basic mind. "I admire your profile, Keldran. From the information in this bingo book to what I see before me, I can see that you'd be a good match for this. The last man I was with was fourteen years ago; Rena's father, Esui. You won't know your child exists and they will never look for you. Despite what you think of the Hikari, we are this way because of the kidnapping of the old heir. I want my clan to stop distrusting one another; I want them to feel as if their future is secure and safe. I want this to become a good place." She murmured, her expression soft. She couldn't stand the way her clan was at the current moment, acting like the death of another familial member was nothing. "I understand if you refuse, but I just want to help my clan. I want to make the Hikari better; if a village finds out about us, then we will be removed. Promptly. For their safety, I must secure their future."

Her eyes flickered up to him, and she held an expression of sorrow. "Rena... we cannot retrieve her. It is a shame. Someday... perhaps someday, we will cross paths again, and I shall apologize for my behaviours. For not being a mother. You may look down on me, Keldran Fuma, but please do not think badly of my family. The way they are is nobody's fault but my own." She stood from her throne, walking towards him before they were only one step apart. "Keldran Fuma, you have the chance to save an entire clan. I am going to die, and without an heir, so will they. I ask of you, humbly; the most I have left is three years."

She had never asked for something like this in her life. Her clan needed an heir, otherwise, they would be lost. Their fate would be decided by a village that thought they were too dangerous to continue existing. She was putting her hopes on the line with this; even if she couldn't apologize to her own child, it wasn't too late for her clan. She knew the way she acted was contradictory; even despite his insults, she held strong. If Rena returned to them someday, she hoped that a changed clan would be enough to atone for her sins, against both her family and her ancestors.

Yuka approached Chichi. "Child, you've been called on for your skills." Chichi looked up, staring at Yuka. She stood, and strode into the medicinal shack, picking up a bag of medical supplies and herbs. She nodded to Yuka, who began to lead her back to the mansion.

Meanwhile, Sansa simply watched them cook. She glanced at Mugen. "Do you do things like this often? I don't seem to have the time for it between my duties, but I wish I did; cooking gives me a calm feeling."
