Kideme plopped back down on her bed with her single letter. It was red with her family's seal on it and Kideme cocked an eyebrow. Sometimes she got a letter from one of her friends but it was extremely rare, but never had she gotten a single one from her family. Well, her mother anyway, most of her family was either married out of the Sagara name or lost to no contact. So out of curiosity, she opened it to find a wedding invitation.

"My mother's getting married..." She cocked an eyebrow a little higher at reading the date. "In two weeks." Out of the corner of her eye she saw Hayato looking down at a letter and then mumble something. It must have been from his parents, whom she'd finally realized were just the most depressing couple she'd ever heard of. Come to think of it....had she ever seen them? She could hardly remember if they'd ever even come to the door when she came over or saw Hayato out in public. But he trailed off to have himself a drag before asking about their plan for this mission and she was about to answer when Tiatsu stood up.

He looked them both in the eye and Kideme turned her chin with suspicion. Tiatsu had only made eye contact when something serious was happening. "You're....leaving?" A look of concern and surprise was plastered across her face as she slowly rose. But he made his point, and he was right, he had gone above and beyond for both of them and she would forever be grateful to him for it.

They didn't need him anymore in general? "That's not true." She walked toward him, but gave pause if Hayato had anything to say. Whenever he said his piece, Kideme approached Tiatsu when he asked if they had anything to say. "I'll miss you." Her voice was a little sad, but she understood his reasoning. If he allowed her to, she pulled him into a tight hug, draping her arms around his shoulders.

Naturally she wanted him to stay, but if he had been planning his exit for two months, it was clear that there was no changing his mind. Plus she didn't want him resenting them for staying when he wanted to go. Perhaps he did need to go. They had seen a great deal of the world, and there was still more to see, but how much more would they actually get to see?

"I'll write to you when we come back. Perhaps we can have some tea and rice?" She offered with a smile as she let him go, listening to any responses they'd have to say. If any. But at the end of it, she gave him a warmer smile. "Thank you for being such a good friend. I promise to come find you." And coming forward once again, she kissed him lightly on the cheek.
