Yeah. She is.

Any suggestion on how to get her to give up on it? [Calling her an idiot child hasn't been working for some reason.] Although I suppose at this point she couldn't stop even if she really wanted to. [Not that she ever would.]

[She's quiet for a long moment. Because... that second meeting. Everyone that could support Kagehisa is dead. He's on his own, and though she knows he's strong enough to continue on without her, it has to hurt. Kagimura Habaki is still alive. Manji is probably enough to deal with the tank of a man she'd elected to avoid. She dealt with the rest. Who does that leave?

Kagimura, Manji, Rin, Kagehisa.

Three against a grieving man. But he's strong.

......]

I feel it's too late to try changing her mind. The last we saw of each other would be the culmination of your journey, I expect.

[It doesn't matter, not really. Should he return home, he won't remember this conversation.]

[canofmanji]

Really? [He doesn't seem too surprised. Things had seemed to be coming to a head even from when Manji was from. He had felt that coming.] I hope she can live with the person she'll be at the end.

[Opps. And then he remembers who exactly he's talking to. He quickly tries to add to the end of that.] Ah! You know-- If she survives.

Who knows? Maybe that last meeting of ours won't actually be the end. It's not like those two haven't met before and walked away alive. How many times has it been now? Three? Four?

[News to her. But then Anotsu had developed an odd sort of protectiveness towards Rin, which was intriguing. Not that it'd stop him from killing her if Rin attacked him outright, but...]

Perhaps. But if she does not kill him at the docks, she may lose her chance entirely.

[canofmanji]

Well, if she can live with herself by letting him go again then it's no skin off my nose. [He has no problem with Anotsu except for the fact that Rin has a problem with him.

He also understands that the last couple times the two of them met and walked away alive Manji wasn't there. That the fact that Rin had him there this time would likely change things a lot.]

I suppose only time will tell when we return home. [Because of course Makie would want to go home, right? 8D]

[That piece of information... she's not quite willing to part with yet. But still, her expression is anything but eager about the concept.]

Mmm. I suppose.

[canofmanji]

No point worrying about it while we're stuck here I suppose.

Anyway, I was going to go find something to drink. [A brief pause. How does he polite thingy?] You thirsty or something?

[Normally she'd knock him back. But she was already in this section of town making for a place she'd been told sold a sake equivalent, and while she's not the sort to ask company, nor is she the kind to refuse it under such circumstances.

She responds by moving past him, wrapping her shawl a little closer.] This way.

[canofmanji]

[He's actually a bit surprised that she took up his offer. He follows behind for a moment before speeding up to catch up to her.]

Heh, seems a bit familiar, doesn't it? You asking me to follow you somewhere?

[therewerefifty]

[Only because she was going there anyway, and it's the height of rudeness to say find a different bar. Though his comment makes her wish she'd been rude to begin with.]

I have no ulterior motives.

[No sex or murder at the end of this trip, sorry to disappoint.]

[canofmanji]

Don't worry. I didn't think there was. [This time.]
