>To Kiku: "Did you still want me to lend a hand with the assembly?"
>"What assembly?" Karura asks.
>"I had intended to call a general assembly tonight." Kiku informs her. "To address the events of the past. I had planned on including Satori in that assembly, which is one of the reasons I am glad that Lotus and White Rose are here. I was going to ask their assistance providing security."
>A confused Koko asks, "Security?"
>Yuzuriha answers her, "For Satori. From us. Right?"
>"Precisely." Kiku replies bluntly. She aims her hard gaze at her fellow sisters, especially Karura. "Would that have been necessary?" The silver garbed miko and Yuzuriha exchange a look. A somewhat guilty one on the latter's part, you note. "However, Lotus brought it to my attention that it might be difficult for Satori to be put through that at this time. So while I still intend to speak to all the serving Mikos here, Satori will not be a part of that. At least not at this time. That said, Lotus, White Rose, the choice is yours. I do not feel that your presence is as necessary as it once was, but you are still welcome. It is unusual for outsiders to witness an assembly of this manner, but you are no ordinary outsider. You may stay, if you wish, but I feel the situation is contained. Moreso than it was, at the very least."
