*Her eyes open to gaze upon the futon and nods to him* Thank you Shidoshi...uh...one thing though..*She slowly stands, the cup of tea remains in her hand* What about, money, and supplies, and..I dunno *She bows her head with a soft frown* I guess we can talk about that stuff when you wanted to

 "I have most of the items my students need. My classroom is the world, and rent here is cheap. When you can pay me you will, until then I want nothing.

 "I am as well, Your Kami must care for you. When you find that place and hold something dear, even just its thought you can communicate with them. They can speak to you, listen carefully to them. They see clearly, and will tell you what you must do. Feeling them near is comforting as well. I carry my ancestors with me everywhere I go. I am never alone."
