"I wasn't born into the Noriaki, so, my ancestors would be the northern mountain hunter/gatherers from my father's side. My mother: the feral lion-like komainu shapeshifters." She fetches a vial of red paint and offers to Yatsufusa with one hand, "This is the ointment the hunters used in their lips, faces and nails when hunting."

'' I see '' Yatsu accepted the vial, and inspected it. '' Maybe there is someone who could tell us more about such an item, through it spiritual connection...'' He passed it back to Kinsen. '' But only if you are willing to share your story with that person, Hantei Kinsen-sama. It is your decision after all.'' He said politely.

"What if I share?" She questions, cocking her head warily to the side with squinted eyes, "Who would this person be?"

'' I was thinking about Togashi Satsuki-himesama.'' The Saru told the woman. '' From what i heard, the princess has some deep connections to spiritual auras, not rare now that i think, after all she is the daughter of a Kami.'' He thought aloud.

'' If you can share your story with her, i guess she could also help us in finding the truth behind the veil, so to speak.''

“Oh!” Kinsen brightens up a smile and chuckles, “If my dear niece didn’t avoid me like the plague, I would love to.”

'' Avoiding you?'' Yatsufusa wondered. '' I didn't knew that. What might be the cause of that?'' He thought aloud. '' In any case, Hantei Kinsen-sama, indeed i think that Togashi Satsuki-himesama would be helpful in such matters since she indeed has a different type of spiritual connection than me, possibly deeper because of her direct connection to the Heavens, unlike me.'' He adds.

"I cannot assume. Yet, if I were her, I would think my auntie would try to match me with someone she has plans. Thus, avoidance."

Kinsen giggles a bit more.

'' I see...'' Yatsufusa chuckles a bit. '' Well, marriage and bringing the new generation is a duty of us all, i guess. Sooner or later, as an aunt and part of her extended family, Hantei Kinsen-sama, i guess you will be involved in the future of Togashi Satsuki-himesama.'' He commented.

"Oh, I hope so." She says, and looks to the statue of Amaterasu.
