Chieko found herself disagreeing with the orc about a few things. The things about honor and educating herself were good, of course. She had intended to do that anyways. How could she possibly hope to fit in if she couldn't read or write? History as well, and any other scholarly things she could get her hands on. It was one of her priorities. She very well couldn't call herself a respectable Knight if she couldn't do any of those things. A knight had to be intelligent and know such things, after all.

The thing about pleasing people, though? Especially the nobility, and using the sword as a last resort? Well that was just absurd. The sword was a symbol of the Knight. A symbol of justice, and above all [i]law.[/i] Nobles and common folk were equal in the eyes of the law, and it mattered very little if it 'pleased' anyone. A sword was the representative of the law, and to be used as such. Either for enforcing it in times of peace, or defending it and the people in times of war.

Either way though, the Orc would not dissuade her so easily. She watched as he walked off, prepared for some job or another. She looked over at Maria, giving her an expectant look.

[color=chocolate]"When do we start?"[/color] She seemed at least eager to get things moving sooner rather than later. Chieko had never really been one to sit around and wait for things to happen.

Tsuiho silently ran up to the manor, footsteps soundless as she observed the building, peering into one of the windows. No one seemed to be around, save for a servant or two. There shouldn't have been many people around of course, but one could never be too careful. After Jiru's slip up, she had to make certain something hadn't been leaked or foiled. She moved swiftly past the window, heading into a small garden like area - with a door that would be more than easy to sneak into as long as she was quiet and careful. She'd have to find someway to get it open in a way that wouldn't cause too much suspicion.

Of course, the easiest way was simple. See if it was unlocked. You'd be surprised at how many places she got into because people just didn't lock their damn doors properly. Fools, the lot of them. Thankfully for mister Kato it seemed like he was one of the smarter ones. Well, it wasn't going to stop her, though. She needed to get someone to open the side door...there didn't seem to be any servants around the area, so she couldn't steal their keys that they might have, if they'd have them at all. Knocking was of course, out of the question here...

Tsuiho looked around for something she could use while remaining mostly hidden. Something she could use...something she could use...!! A second floor balcony on this side of the house. Chances that it would be unlocked, quite high. Most people didn't think anyone would be able to easily enter from the second floor...and well, most people likely wouldn't be able to. But well, Tsu wasn't just an adorable little fox.

Taking a quick look around to make sure she wouldn't easily be noticed, Tsuiho made good use of her superior acrobatics. Running towards the wall, she grabbed the ledge of a second story window, resting only a second before pushing off with her feet, latching onto the balconies railing and pulling herself up without much of a problem. She walked to the door...and it was open.

She was inside.
