D8LE, A Lady Has to Eat (Expecting)

[Seppun Sadako]

"Unless they are peasants belonging other than to the Lion," Sadako says, "I should think that a matter best handled by local authorities. But if there is cause for the Emerald Office to be involved, then I am certain that the Lord Emerald will make appropriate provision.

"Unless you and she think it touches directly on what we have discussed else?"

"Unless they are peasants belonging other than to the Lion," Sadako says, "I should think that a matter best handled by local authorities. But if there is cause for the Emerald Office to be involved, then I am certain that the Lord Emerald will make appropriate provision.

"Unless you and she think it touches directly on what we have discussed else?"

She seems to think for a moment. "Ihadn't considered a possible relation with that matter, Seppun-dono. Hopefully the spirits may help clear that matter. But..." she shakes her head slightly, a small crease on her brow. "As I said when Daidoji-sama mentioned this: 'Coming from the south, disappearances are something we are told since our early days to always take seriously. Too many cautionary tales'." She shakes her head a bit again, gives her a tentative smile whose friendliness tries to hide some worry. "But perhaps I'm letting unneeded worries get the best of me. If Seppun-dono doesn't think this should be cause for concern now, one less worry is always a good thing, ne?"

"Unfortunately, there is more than one problem," Sadako says. "And there are never enough of us to solve them all."

"Unfortunately, there is more than one problem," Sadako says. "And there are never enough of us to solve them all."

She nods. "The letter fro Daidoji-sama is probably incoming at any rate. If Seppun-dono later believes it might warrant attention and thinks there is somethig this one could help to help, I would be happy if you'll let me know then." A friendly smile again. "Until then, I will see to the matter we spoke about before - and keep doing whatever I can for a possible solution, or course." A deep seated bow (somewhat awkward, but such is life). "Thank you for your time and attention, Seppun-sama. And thank you for your trust."

[Seppun Sadako]

"Of course," Sadako replies, bowing with more grace because less deeply. "Carry the Fortunes."

[Yasuki Masaki]

"Of course," Sadako replies, bowing with more grace because less deeply. "Carry the Fortunes."

"May they stay with you, Seppun-dono."

(/scene, finally? I was hoping for a D10 scene with her for another reason, but let's get that 4-character scene solved first I guess XD
And thanks for the scene, of course!)
