**"Hm... I was about the same. Hell, I spent most of my time away from this island. You've seen the mainland, I assume? So different, yet the conflicts don't change much..."**
*Again her sagacity bled through her facade, squinting slightly as the sun beamed through the sparse treetops, forcing a dissatisfied hiss from the vampire. Pinnacelia... Once part of the empire she called home, visited at the whim of her retainers.*
**"Aye, the Glittering City. Maybe I'll find a few of who I'm looking for..."**
Charles
***"Anyone important in question..?"***

*Matime wondered if she would know anyone.. It was likely not possible, but in the end, she wouldn't ever know if she never asked in the first place, so...*
Antonio
**"Oh, the names are old... Yirek, for one?"**
*Her brow would rise, mildly interested in whether Matime would recognise the name. House Yirek was one of the oldest imperial households, originating as a tribal kingdom that turned loyal in the early years of the empire. Taito had many conflicts with their members, retainers and nobility alike.*
**"A little bird told me their elders have estates here, little holiday homes away from the imperial capital."**
Charles
***"Yirek... The imperial household? I've heard of them, for sure.. What do you seek with them anyways?"***

*Matime was quite curious. Who was this woman, and what was she capable of? A Samurai? Anything is possible for what this woman was.. But she hadn't any idea. She could feel something was off with her, and she didn't know what it was. Maybe she would find out.*
