Hana lifted her head from her record book when she heard the maid walking to the guest room door to signal it was time for her audience with the new lord. Blowing softly on the ink to dry it, she closed her books and set her ink and quill back within her satchel, and took out Master Tenzen's letter.

"I am afraid Hatamono-dono has decided to take a walk of the manor." Said Hana as she rose when the maid stepped in. "He bid me to meet with Mitsumine-dono before him, although I would hope he may be found before he walks too far."

Guided to reception room, Hana took her given seat in the room, placing Tenzen's sealed letter in front of her with the seal of the capital branch family shown. And thus she waited.
