> "Thank you for meeting me here, Lady Shiki. I will get straight to the point, so you may resume your normal duties. I am here to discuss with you the incarceration of Miss Aya Shameimaru."
>She nods again, then glances to "Komachi, wouldn't it have been better to take her to Higan for this?"
>"What, and let her wander around there lost?" says Komachi with a raised eyebrow. "Unless you wanted me to take time out of ferrying to flag the Messenger down a guide who could leave her post."
>The yama sighs. "Speaking of ferrying, the line is getting a little short."
>"I keep an eye on it," says Komachi, "You still have, what, a good six hours worth. So I've been letting them unwind here and get over all the trauma and stuff."
>Shikieiki sighs again. "Just get to it, please?"
>"Yeah, I'm on it," says Komachi.
>The yama shakes her head and says, "My apologies. Please, continue."
