Prelude: Shonogen & Ryoko
Ryoko tries to keep the sour expression off her face, not entirely successfully. However, she does manage to find a diplomatic reply. "My Master will expect me to report to him myself." After a moment's consideration, she wonders if attending a dinner party might be useful to Korino. She doesn't know what lines of investigation he's pursuing, but a chance to talk to some of the local samurai at their estate might be useful to him. "I would also be embarrassed to attend an event my Master himself was not invited to." She waited to see if Kyousuke would take the hint.

The Crane Courtier easily sees the conversational path, but is exasperated at the bluntness of it. He expects better of a fellow Crane. "Please extend my invitation to the honorable Doji Kirino-sama as well. A Clan Magistrate is always welcome in our Estates."

"The Crane always welcomes its own." Doji Kyousuke sharply opens his fan and begins to use to to combat the remaining heat of the day.

Behind the two conversing Crane, Shonogen speaks up.
"Well, if my grandfather has a dinner invitation he wishes to share with me, I suppose I should make my whereabouts known to him so he can give me the good news."
He nods a quick bow to first Ringo, then Kyousuke, then Ryoko. He also gives a wave to the child as he prepares to leave the garden.

Ryoko says, "Well, if we are splitting up now, I shall go attend to my master, Doji Korino-sama. I shall look forward to seeing all of you again this evening." After making sure she has the proper directions and time from Kyousuke, she formally bows and takes her leave.
She strolls through the gardens, enjoying seeing the sites without having to talk to other people. She found she could appreciate the garden much more if she walked through it in a solitary fashion. Once she leaves the garden, she sets a quicker pace, heading to the local magistrate's mansion. Still, she doesn't rush, but moves warily--she had been trained to always be aware of her surroundings, as much in town as in the wilderness. One never knew when one might face an ambush.

Prelude: Shonogen & Ryoko
It would seem the time has come for the small company to split up. Ringo comes up withe some excuse to leave as well, "Its getting on Ichiro, your mother will have chores for you to do. Come." The boy frowns, he was having a good time in the presence of some many important samurai.
So one by one you leave the garden and look for your various family members, or masters, or other matters. It becomes clear that the dinner party will not be tonight after speaking with those 'patrons', but it shall take place tomorrow evening to give the host plenty of time to prepare.
