Hanami easily read Ageha's uneasiness, but being the naturally reserved woman she is... She kept her questions to herself. It was obvious that Ageha didn't want to talk, or be around her in general. Frowning softly, she got up from her seat and approached the curious girl with the fiery red aura and matching hair. Hanami always seemed to be attracted to spirits, but this one was different... She could tell from her appearance alone. Perhaps it was a regular occurrence, spirits taking a human form, but this was the first time she had witnessed it. Strange indeed. Then again, Hanami had never left her village until now.

"Akiko-san, welcome." Hanami said softly, bowing slightly to the woman before rising with a welcoming smile. "I'm glad to see that another warrior has joined in our cause to keep Mizuki-dono safe."
