> Of the two impromptu allies that stuck with us, look to the one who said they'd travel with us.> "So, you said 'your' shrine?"
> Nod.> "I am Mayumi Joutouguu, lance corporal for Lady Keiki Haniyasushin."
> Look at Lady Keiki in shock.> "'No one special'? Nothing could be further from the truth! Do you require me to read the Joutouguu List of Seven Thousand, Three Hundred, Forty-Eight Reasons Why Lady Keiki Is The Greatest?"
> Hmm, the list must not be long enough. We'll have to add to it.> Dwell on what we can add to that list while Lady Keiki conducts her business with this woman.
> That's seven thousand, three hundred, forty-nine! Excellent.> "In general, we wish to learn about humans more, and this is one of the more curious aspects of their existence here."
> ! We know that name! That's...not a name with the best of memories...> Widen our eyes a bit and stiffen some, but say nothing and let this person continue.
> "Were we supposed to visit her? Did she intend on apologizing for blemishing Lady Keiki?"
> Look to Lady Keiki.> "I suppose you were to receive an apology, Lady Keiki. I think we should look into that when we are able. But I will defer to your judgment, of course."
> Frown a bit.> "Perhaps if we made a trip specifically for it, but there's nothing petty about seeking an apology for offenses if we're in the area anyway. Surely you would seek the same if someone came along and beat up your goddess for no reason."
> "Hm. Well, if Lady Keiki deems her worthy of forgiveness, then I will gladly do so. I cannot deny the social benefits to forgiveness that you cite."
> Were we 'acting out' when that shrine maiden showed up?
> "I will keep this in mind if I ever act out or am well-known, then."
> Nod silently to the wolf while continuing to guard Lady Keiki on our way.
