>Smile encouragingly at the both of them
>"Congratulations, Kiku-sama!" Koko says brightly, wasting no time in applying the new elder's honorific.
>The other three mikos, though, are less enthusiastic. "Karura is right, Satori." the winged youkai says. Kiku deserves the full ceremony for the transference of power."
>"And maybe we will have one, Mayumi. Later." says Kiku. "When the time is more appropriate. But perhaps now is not the time for ceremony. Save this part, perhaps." Turning to Satori, Kiku takes a breath and says, "I, Kiku, acknowledge my new title and the role that comes with it. In the name of the Metal Tiger, Byakko, I will strive to serve this temple, this city and this country to the best of my abilities."
>Setting aside her formality, she again turns back to her sisters. "We should all now be trying to put past wrongs behind us. You may have heard, but I will say it again: I have forgiven Satori. I do not expect all of you to do so quickly, and I will not order you to. But I will ask that you at least consider that Satori was, at the very least, not wholly responsible for her actions since we have known her. For half a century, a piece of pure evil did dwell within her. But that evil is gone now, and we are all of us free from its influence. It's time we began moving past that."
>"And we owe Magical Lotus and White Rose our thanks for that chance, as well as their comrade Lily. Without their aid, we'd still be under the influence of that creature. Or dead. They didn't just save Satori, they saved us, as well." And the tiger youkai lowers her head to you in thanks. Satori is quick to follow suit, as do Koko and the short winged miko Mayumi and the canine Yuzuriha.
