In other words: He could have been<em>anyone</em>. Except for the discreet tattoo etched into his skin, he could - And probably had - passed for servant without question; Much the same way she did, when not on assignment. The map, however, was rather more interesting: It was a disquieting discovery, given the sheer attention to detail of the map, the careful marking of the Lord's schedule...<br/><br/>Iroha's eyes narrowed, as she thought -<em>Shadow. Commander</em>.<br/><br/>The assassin hadn't been working alone. He had a man on the inside - A team, perhaps, or a traitor...After all, what need would he have of a map, if he was the only man in position? It didn't reassure Iroha in the slightest, as the shadow tanto finally dissolved in her grasp. A deadly trick, this one; A lethal weapon within reach at a moment's notice, one that would be exceptionally deadly, she had no doubt.<br/><br/>The faint *screet* of the door sliding open drew her attention; Iroha turned, folding the map, tucking it away. The servants were here quickly, she had to admit - Lord Amoru must want this sorry business to be buried deep, and buried soon.<br/><br/>She acknowledged their words with a slight cant of her head, her full lips curled in a thoughtful pout "-By all means," Iroha answered, as the man moved to retrieve the body. An entirely innocuous gesture, but something about it nagged her...Or perhaps she was just being paranoid.<br/><br/>Or just cautious.<br/><br/>"I'll accompany you," Iroha said - Her words directed at the male servant, as she drew herself up to her full height; Pacing across the room, with a slow, easy stride. She had, after all, a lot to think about.<br/><br/>"-I'll need to ensure that the body is properly disposed of."<br/><br/>It was the least she could do, before she departed, to ensure that word of the failed assassination didn't spread further than it already had. If word didn't reach the Kochou family before her arrival, her infiltration of the clan castle would be an easier task.
