Jiro had notcied Chiyu before the two groups met. However, he did not angle toward her. If she wished to be left alone with her tall companion, that was fine. It suited him, and frustrated his father, two things which would always brighten a day. However, she angled toward them. Jiro began assembling his introduction... when Chiyu stole the wind from his sails. Apparently, she already knew his erstwhile travelling companion. Jiro stood awkwardly for a moment, before recovering, bowing to them both.<br/><br/>"Suzume Chiyu-San, it is good to see you again. Even if the circumstances are unfortunate. When you have a free moment, I have a message from my father to your family. Suzume Kyou-san, it is an honor to meet you as well. You two have been called by the honored Crane as well, I assume?"<br/><br/>Jiro's tone was kept solidly neutral, as he rose. Emotions were a weakness. And right now, the ones he would show if he did were not particuraly likely to endear him to anyone.
