"Well, at least your parents made it clear, and gave you space." He smiled. "I marvel at mother's restraint some times. I only hear the occasional cry for grandchildren."

He glanced at the tea cup. "Perhaps I should look while I'm here, before she looks." He looked up at her slyly. "Or maybe I can suggest that you would need some help choosing?" His voice was teasing.

[Ryoshun Rei]

"You will definitely want to consider your options before your mother does." she grinned. "While I am my mother's heir, I have the fortune of being her second daughter. She spent much of her matchmaking energy on Agasha."

[Hantei Genji]

"Well, I am certain Mother would like the challenge of finding a suitable match for you. Who knows, she might end up with less time for me. What a shame that would be."

He smirked, then dropped the teasing. "How is Agasha-san doing, by the way? She has her own family, do I know that right?"

[Ryoshun Rei]

"She now heads the Agasha family." she nodded. "She trains priests of the elements, while my mother and I focus on teaching the Void. She, of course, also has her studies and experiments, which her followers have embraced. I don't understand much of it, but it seems impressive."

[Hantei Genji]

"She now heads the Agasha family." she nodded. "She trains priests of the elements, while my mother and I focus on teaching the Void. She, of course, also has her studies and experiments, which her followers have embraced. I don't understand much of it, but it seems impressive."

"Such a responsibility, I am sure your mother was impressed with her." He smiled. "Meanwhile, you get the privilege to lead your clan in the future. Hopefully your older sister won't have a problem with that?"

He perked up.

"What kind of experiment, if I may ask?"

[Ryoshun Rei]

"I don't think she ever wanted the burden of leadership." she shook her head. "She seems content with things as they are. She has many experiments, several of which involve the iron from our mines. New mining methods. New ways to process the ore. New alloys. New smithing techniques. The last however, is more about refining the techniques my father developed."

"Ah, that is understandable." He frowned. "Sometimes the thought of leading a clan can be daunting, neh?" He smiled, though it was a bit forlorn. "I feel I don't even know myself well enough, can barely do my duties, and I'm supposed to tell others what to do? Scary." He took another sip of tea, but realized it was empty.

"What about you Ryoshun-san? Do you have any ambitions, or experiments in your mind?"

[Ryoshun Rei]

"For me, it's about continuing my mother's legacy. My younger siblings will represent our father's teachings. But, I am the one with her gifts." she explained. "I need to understand the Void better. I need to understand spirits better."

[Hantei Genji]

Genji nodded. "I do not know much about either topic, sadly, but I am glad to offer any help we can provide from the Stag. Perhaps the Seppun? I believe they are your mother's old family?"

He tilted his head with the question. "

[Ryoshun Rei]

"That is true." she nodded. "She separated from them for a time, but the tribe was always important to her."

[Hantei Genji]

Genji nodded. "Well, if you ever wish to visit, I am sure the Seppun would be very glad to host you. and who knows, perhaps I can visit as well, when we will establish our trade routers, hopefully. The mountains must be a beautiful sight."

[Ryoshun Rei]

"They are." she nodded. "But, the capital is breathtaking. All the buildings, the palace, it's amazing what we can build."

[Hantei Genji]

"Certainly." He flashed a smile. "Especially for your clan, I gather. After all, you are renowned crafters. Everything here is breathtaking, I feel. And of course, the presence of our dear uncle can be felt all over."

[Ryoshun Rei]

"Certainly." she agreed. "Being here has been very inspiring. There are ideas I hope to add to Shiro Ryoshun."

[Hantei Genji]

"Certainly." she agreed. "Being here has been very inspiring. There are ideas I hope to add to Shiro Ryoshun."

"Certainly! Any specifics that inspire you? A tea house, perhaps?"

[Ryoshun Rei]

"It is quite nice." she nodded "I like the layout of the palace garden, with the tea rooms too. The construction of the palace overall is remarkable."
