Things were different than they had been in the past and yet they were surely the same steps she had taken on many nights. Walking the path to the Emerald Offices, the ones of old, back the same path she took when she used to visit Tsukuro here. Words so often spread lost meaning amid the sea. Every memory had the fondness of the past, the allure of a time that is getting impossibly further away. Though walks like this made her feel a touch closer if only for a moment.

Slow steps brought her ever closer, greeting those who didn't stop her directly warmly and waiting for person that eventually would. Every step she took the time to simply relive the past for a few fleeting seconds.

Having needed to go to the Crescent Quarter to collect something, Koharu was in the vicinity. She held onto a big bundle, actually a new kimono wrapped in protective cloth. She decided it had been right to collect it in person.

Nearly passing by Kaiya without spotting her she does so at the last moment. Pausing, she gives the Crane turned Imperial a bow. No longer being kin made her feel distant to the other woman, but she put on a brace face and a smile. "Seppun-sama." She offers uncertainly, lifting her hand in greeting.

Largely in thought Kaiya had not noticed Koharu any sooner. Only reacting to the woman as she herself was noticed. With a graceful turn she exchanged the greeting with a bow and a pleasant demeanor, happy to find an old friend. Allowing Sakia to take the lead, "Doji Koharu-sama, a pleasure to see you again," Sakia said and offered a deeply respectful bow to the Samurai.

"Hai, it's a pleasure to see both of you too. Seppun-sama, Sakia-san." She dips her head again for good measure. "Ano, congratulations again."

At the congratulations Kaiya seemed unsure, questioning of what she was speaking. While Sakia said much more simply, "Thank you, Doji-sama."

Smiling a little more she stops there to see if there was anything Kaiya wanted to communicate.

Whatever thought it was, Kaiya let the moment pass if she were allowed. Not seeming to have intended on giving pause to the conversation.

Koharu nods slightly. "W-well, if you'd like to catch up some time I'm back at the tall building by the Wharf where I was before." She wasn't sure Kaiya would be interested, but she thought it best to offer something. She had a small hope that Kaiya might be. Then again, as Kaiya was an Imperial now, Koharu really couldn't say.

There was a pause, not a long one but long enough that she had surely properly considered it. Turning to Sakia Kaiya offered the other woman a look and that was all Sakia needed.

"Seppun Kaiya-sama is grateful for the invitation and will certainly need to consider a time that might be most appropriate to visit," Sakia said, having turned back to look at Koharu.

The long enough pause followed by what seemed to be a deflecting answer, much more civil than enthused, told Koharu everything. She dips her head in acknowledgement and doesn't press further.

"Hai, of course Seppun-sama."

"Perhaps it is best we allow you to continue on your way?" Sakia suggested, seeing little else to bring up at current.

For a moment Koharu's On faltered and she looked both a little sad and dejected, but it was fleeting and her brave smile returned a moment later. "I would not want to delay you. Ano, have a good day Seppun-sama, Sakia-san."

Bowing politely she moves to leave.

Kaiya reached out and tapped Sakia's side before Koharu got too far away. Prompting Sakia to call out, "Doji-sama, is there something more?"

What Koharu would find when she returned her gaze would be a rather perplexed Kaiya looking back at her.

Turning around gracefully, the Doji fiddles with her right sleeve as she notes Kaiya's perplexed look. She wasn't sure what it meant... but she did want to find out.

She lets go of her sleeve and stands up straight. "Eto..." Now to contrive a reason. Come on Koharu. Sensei spent a week on lessons just about this. "I-I suppose I was wondering how things are going with your sign language efforts?" Koharu asks, taking a few steps back toward Kaiya and Sakia.

Kaiya's confusion remained for a moment but soon settled back and away as she glanced over to Sakia before making some signals with swift hand motions. One's with a fluidity and grace, something that would surely be expected of someone raised as a Crane.

"Seppun Kaiya-sama would like me to inform you that they are going well, given the winter in Kyuden Seppun she had an ample amount of time to use preparing it further."

The Doji wondered about that turn of phrase, or in fact even mentioning Kyuden Seppun. It felt like an invisible wall.

"I'm pleased to hear that. Ano, I had liked to learn it before." Koharu ventures uncertainly.

"That could still be possible," Sakia answered dutifully, "it would require a deal of effort. If we are to occupy the same ship on our journey I imagine Seppun Kaiya-sama would be quite willing to offer you the chance to learn."

Sakia spoke and then looked to Kaiya who agreed with that assessment.
