Something was obviously bothering the young lady as she all of a sudden stiffened. Ryuunosuke was concerned though. How did Touka know that they were being eavesdropped? Something was very strange, but Ryuu just could not understand exactly what was going on. The atmosphere had changed drastically and even Ryuu felt a bit unsettled. There was a small conflict going on, but not a physical one. Rather, it felt like a war of presence. Perhaps, Touka was skilled in the spiritual arts? That would make some sense considering where she was from and the history of her clan. Still, something was bothering her, and this was a problem. The last thing that Ryuu wanted was to offend a guest. So, he said "Although I do not know exactly what you speak of, I will believe you. After all, something is bothering you, and as the lord of this house, I refuse to have a guest feel perturbed. If you will excuse me..."

Ryuu then swiftly got up from his seiza position and walked over to the fusuma that led outside. He then swiftly slide open the door and there sat Kanaka, much to his surprise. She spent a lot of time at the shrine and rarely ever came to see Ryuu. The fact that she came to him meant that she wanted to talk to him about something important. Ryuu said "Kanaka! I am glad to see you, my dear imouto. However, it is unbecoming to listen on to the conversations of others." Ryuu then turned back to Touka and bowed. He then said "My sincerest apologizes, Hakurou-san. It appears you were right to suspect. This is my younger sister, Kanaka. I hope you are not too offended about this. I did not intend for this mishap to occur."
