Shimizu quietly pondered for a moment, letting both of his hands rest on his cane. “Is she well?” Shimizu asked, and Hokushin nodded. “Given the circumstances, she is in good health, Tennoheika.” The Mazoku warrior said as he inclined his head.

“Very good.” He said with a smile. “Given our differences, both political, and otherwise. I must admit that I have a soft spot for the old woman.” Shimizu remarked.

“I just hope, whatever my sister’s up to, it does not jeopardize my standings in this part of space, I’m sure your superiors would frown at the fact that Drulovic is allowed to consort with foreign dignitaries, sharing all kinds of secrets.” Shimizu remarked, ever the manipulator. Slowly he rested his weight on the cane, and shifted his weight.

“But, I wanted to drop by on my way back to the Soja.. hm very pleasant place.” He said, nodding. “But I am here on an official capacity as well. I’ve been told my mother is coming to Shintenchi, i Had to meet with the Honorable Takara Sato, to make sure everything is going smoothly.”

Hokushin stayed mostly silent, was it deference, or fear from the hardened warrior?
