<strong>Tagged: Everyone and the functionaries</strong><br/><br/><br/>The Lion redistributed everyone and Ayano bowed her head slightly..She was honored that he would take it upon himself to accompany her.<br/><br/>"As you wish." She mounted her horse and was ready to continue with the Lion when Mirumoto Ichirou-san re-established himself as her protector. Ayano was somewhat confused and hesitated for a moment watching the Lion's reaction as Mirumoto's words could be seen as a challenge to the Lion. But the Lion took it in stride. Ayano breathed a small sigh of relief and turned her horse to follow Mirumoto's. She wondered what they would find at the Sake works.<br/><br/>Ayano watched the people that they passed- their reactions were interesting. She catalogued this information away for later when she was in a more quiet place and could close her eyes and revisit these reactions and understand what they meant.<br/><br/>They arrived at the sake works and were met by several workers of a higher class than the villagers they passed. Ayano held the reigns of her horse in her hand. She nodded to the workers..<br/><br/>"Thank you for your welcome. I would like to know the names of the people I speak with so if I have questions I may return to you."<br/>
