Warui shirase

The man arrived both promptly and silently just as Ochi had expected. The colorful giant approached and she noted the way that his pale eyes looked her over before he finally addressed her. Ochi couldn't blame him for not remembering her. It had been a long time ago that they'd met. Snowy ears shifted forward as he waited for her reply. Despite his position of power, the woman's blue eye never left his face.

"I am Ochitsuki Ishii," she informed the man, her tones soft, yet clear and precise. "My father was Shogun of a province allied affiliated with your own." Their fathers had been friends and allies. Things had gone awry with Hattori, but Ochi wasn't privy to the details. It didn't matter anyway. In this world, the man was the only tie that she had to her homeland.

Though she would ask for charity from him, the air of confidence never left the black, white and grey fae. "My father's kingdom was taken. My whole family slain. I would have joined them had I not been able to escape." Some thought that escape was cowardice, but there was no shame in the woman for protecting her own life so that she could thwart the usurpers by keeping the Ishii line alive and well. "I sought you out to ask for sanctuary, Hattorisan." Only then did her gaze shift, looking back towards the north where Valta lay. "Danger could follow me, so if you are unwilling, there is another place where I may be welcome."
