Oh?

It seems that I'm...

Indisposed.

[A beat, long enough to make one wonder if the phone line has cut off.]

...Leave a message, if you would be so kind.

(This small missive is left under his door.)

Would you be interested in fulfilling another prayer? What of going on a hunt? There is quarry aplenty and we are low on meat.

I shall await your answer,
Sansa

[tadanokusuriuri]

[His reply can be found tucked away near one of Sansa's usual haunts around the temple, written in a neat, precise hand.]

It is always my honor to hunt at your side. Whenever you have use for me, I stand ready for your command.

[There's no signature. His "name" isn't really a name, so he always just leaves that blank.]

(She discovers the note and smiles to herself, seeking him out in person immediately after.)

Lord Shouki? (Addressing him as "Shouki" doesn't seem right and so she uses the title respectfully.) There are two prayers that have gained my notice. One is a prayer for the protection of domestic beasts and then there is an opportunity for hunting the beast that is slaying the poor animals.

It could be an ayakashi.

[tadanokusuriuri]

My Lady.

[He bows in greeting, then straightens up and listens attentively while she speaks. Though he keeps his silence until she's finished, there's a shift in his posture at the mention of ayakashi, a light that kindles in his eyes.]

That seems... worthy of investigation.

[stonebird]

I thought as much. (Investigation and potential annihilation. Sansa feels sorrow for the shinki that have become said beasts, but they mustn't be allowed to rampage.)

How much time do you need to prepare?
