"Didn't the Empress die?" Jinkan asked with an eyebrow raise.

"But yes, consider it done. I had the tongue disposed of, but I have the knife. I will submit it to the Emerald Offices. Oh, did you have any good ideas for what Bayushi-ue might want? Getting a Scorpion a mask is discrimination right?" Jinkan pondered that thought aloud.

"Maybe a rat figurine? Rats hide secrets and are beloved by Daikoku."

"You're in the 'no-one else' category, the Empress dying was the catalyst for several other people dying. I'm just hoping it won't be too many more."
Sae's tone indicates she finds the idea of mentioning the Empress' untimely death to be borderline sacrilegious.

"The knife and your testimony and we can consider how to proceed further."

The Crane looks genuinely pained for a few moments at the gift ideas.
"As I understand a Scorpion's mask is a rather important item to the, it would be like someone buying a cheap blade in a market to replace your daisho. Rat figures are...well some women may like them, but most would just see you having send them a rat. If you do send a rat figurine maybe a lengthy explainer as to why you picked it? She may not understand the context immediately."

Sae hurriedly looks around at the nearby stalls, desperately hoping something non-mask or non-ratty was present.
"Have you considered a good dagger? I cannot imagine Bayushi-ue has too many. There is the risk she does attempt to kill you with it as some kind of poetic resolution though...maybe a trick dagger? She could appreciate the symbolism."

"I have a dagger? But I am supposed to hand that over to you folk...I should get another one I guess. Anything here scream out to you as 'cute and deadly'?" Jinkan nodded, warming to the idea. He moved to walk with her, and continued speaking as was his normal practice.

"I don't know if she drinks, so sake is out. Poetry doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Robes maybe? Do you think it is weird to buy a woman clothes? But then I would have to estimate her size. And wouldn't that be embarrassing. Oh, I have another geode, like the one I offered the Empress?"

"Indeed, best not to buy her clothes, good catch."
Sae's brows wrinkles slightly as she tries to recall how nice a geode it had been.

"Well, a geode from your family's lands, perhaps an unusual one with certain value or meaning? That could make a good gift, it would not be something she could buy."

"Well, you can't actually tell what is inside until you crack it open. They look like spherical rocks on the outside, you draw from rivers or wet places. Some have white quartz, others purple, some a mix, and others are just brown rock all the way through. I gave the biggest one to the Empress, I hope it had some crystals in it. The one I have left is egg sized." The Mirumoto explained the various rock formation details with expert familiarity.
