"I feel both is the cruelest of all, but maybe I lack the your experiences," she said honestly. "But yes, no reason to fret on it, for now."

“I can bring tea and soldier’s rations,” she said with a chuckle. “I think the tea will have to suffice, though perhaps we can round up some folks to do some hunting? If you trust the animal meat to not be… corrupted.”

"Because, with all due respect to Lady Makime- who I do think the best choice for heading our material defenses- we're not facing an ordinary foe. In my old days in the Spine of the World, we wouldn't have dared raid a village like this, with all of these armed people in it. But if we could have turned the people inside it against one another? Nothing would have been more natural."

“This is exactly where you need to be, Jiyo-sama. Even if you don;t see it, it seems plain to me we need your critical eye… and I suppose the prophetic eye to see things we may miss. You have a certain concern for those of lower stations others may overlook and more importantly you know everyone and everyone knows you… a vital advantage when diplomacy is needed,” she said kindly.

He grinned.

"But point taken, Nanzi-san."

She smiled and before she felt awkward or at a loss of words she said sweetly, “I shall leave you to your patrol, Jiyo-sama. I should return to my Duties and see to the safety of the villagers. I appreciate your time.”
