>Not really. But Seiga did indicate that if you follow a particular direction, it would lead you out of the forest shortly. Looking around, you note that many of the bamboo stalks to the right have been gnawed off.

Kotohime has been trying to memorize the route, or at least she says that she is, whenever you asked her. Up ahead, you can see the clearing, and catch glimpses of the house.

OOC: I think its going to be harder for Seiga to be apprehended for her crimes now.

Well, this particular Seiga is many things, but one thing she is not is a liar, as the Tao expressly forbids such. In particular, she is not going to lie to Miko. This means we can depend on her appearing at the Human Village if Meira and Sariel appear on her doorstep.

Also, I fully expect Miko to offer some form of defense for her.
