A wind whips up, tugging at the hem of her clothing, and her hair, as she walked down the street towards 'home'. A bit of dust and dirt flew around her, making her stop and close her eyes, clutching the scroll closer to her chest, not wanting to accidentally let go and lose the gift the shop man had so kindly given to her.<br/><br/>She had just started to walk again when she hears a voice calling out to her, and looks around to see an old man talking, rather scruffy in appearance. He was saying that a beautiful woman shouldn't be out late, not wanting her to become a victim of Onibaba, then had the audacity to offer her to his house, even with the kind offer of tea, she shakes her head. "No, I have somewhere to be..." Besides, with the way he was dressed, it was a bit iffy that he even had a home to go to.<br/><br/>Bowing slightly in apology, she then turns. "I'm sorry, but I can't. Thank you for the offer though." Without a second glance, she continues on her way, and heads once more to the geisha compound, wondering if Neshita had made her way back yet.
