The Lion had been... absent from the endeavor. She said, "The enemies in the play, those that serve the forces of Hell and still seek to turn the wheel to darkness."
"I see..." Ayano frowned, her eyes drifted to Genji as the last of the battles wind down. "A topic for another time I am afraid. I believe we have our victor. If you will excuse me Doji-sama."
Ayano bows and moves to meet up with Hantei Genji. "An exemplary performance Hantei-sama." She smiles warmly, "I may take your notes to Lady Makime herself, but for now." The Lioness carefully opens her scroll case and pulls out a worn copy of Lord Akodo and her Mother's famous book. Unrolling it she shows him a section covered in comments and thoughts in the margins. While few may recognize her own writing, or even her mothers, the Hantei almost certainly recognizes the handwriting of his uncle.
"I...take copious notes and Lord Akodo and Lady Makime were generous enough to add to my own musings and expand on some aspects I had questioned." She rolls it back up and gingerly puts it back in the case. Her eyes linger on it for a moment, a small hesitation at losing something she had carried since childhood. "May it serve you as it served me." Ayano takes the case in both hands and offers it to Genji with a bow.
