> "Okay. I will be back soon, and we will find out if written communication will work."
> Assuming the poltergeist makes no objection to our departure, take flight and head toward the Yakumo household.

>She does not stop you.
>You leave the forest, and head toward the Yakumo Household. It seems to be the same as ever; you can see the nekomata from yesterday's incident on Orchard Isle; Chen if you recall correctly fro that later conversation; running in the back.

>You walk into Yukari's home. Looking over, you see a fox tailed Youkai in the kitchen, slicing some green herbs. Yukari is still at the table, having traded her prior clothing for a simple dress made of odd white cloth that you can't really put a proper name to.
>"I see you're alone this time," Yukari says.

> "It is not a commitment I could make for the long term, no. It is still a step in the right direction that she is willing to communicate with someone she isn't sure of at all. I'm certain if you were willing that something could be worked out involving dropping off letters. I prefer personal meetings of course but if everyone met in person as a messenger I would be out of a position." Smile.
