You are welcome, [She replies with a small nod of acknowledgement. What follows is, perhaps, a sentiment that not many others will share, but - does it matter? Kimigiku isn't here right now to express her disapproval, and chances are none of the humans in the teashop have any clue who or what the Nagumo clan is.] That is a shared hope.

They're rumors that Yase as a whole would prefer others to believe were unfounded - it had left them in a disadvantageous position for her to be sick for so long, stuck in that strange, unrestful sleep. Now, the elders of her clan tend to pretend it never even happened.]
