Kitsumi had listened to what Jin had said silently, but she had groaned inwardly. A day free to herself? What did they expect her to do? She knew no one with whom to socialize, knew no place in which to pass the hours. She did not even know where to find her own rooms!
She looked around, feeling somewhat helpless and somewhat more overwhelmed. She had the strong urge to just sink to the floor, curl up in a fetal position, and cry until she awoke from this bad dream. But she knew that it was no dream, and she would never sink so low as to cry in front of anyone, especially not strangers! Besides, she was supposed to be a...guard? A protector of some sort to these young men. How could she be expected to do that if she let her eyes become misty at the slightest inconvienvence?
Still, Kitsumi knew not what to do. She looked first to one direction, then the other. In the end, she simply stood in the middle of the room, shaking slightly, indecisive and confused. If only my training had taught me what to do in this sort of situation! She thought.
