They where currently on a framed outdoor path, connecting one part of the building to the other, the sort of bridge-like structure allowing one to see the Krai Folk village from their vantage point on the hill. The village was currently alive with chatter, laughter, and singing, half-dressed children chasing one another while women were hanging out of windows to hang wet laundry out to dry on long lines of rope that connected every house to the one another.<br/><br/>Jaha stopped walking once they had reached the middle of the walkway and turned to fully face the village, the enclosed pathway having three foot walls with beams placed on top to support the thatched roof. With a smile, Jaha looked toward Midori and gestured with her free hand towards her people.<br/><br/>"We do intend to remain peaceful, but I feel it is time for my people to grow outwards and have more communications with the rest of Shindo." Her smile faltered slightly and she moved her head to once again look at her village and her people. She closed her eyes briefly and let out a deep sigh.<br/><br/>"However," she paused, moving her attention to her visitor, her wide eyes commanding, "I will not allow my people to be isolated and outcasted once again. My people deserve the freedom that the rest of Shindo has, and confining ourselves here will not guarantee that freedom. I will do what I feel is best for them."
