A strange and personal inquiry, I know, but I was recently asked to bless a couple at their wedding—apparently, I have gained a reputation as a wandering spirit?—and they looked so very, very happy. Almost delirious, really. I don't know if I will ever feel that way. A Kuzuryu puts their master first, above all. We have, in some cases, been used as paramours and mistresses by the masters we serve, despite martial ties. Danna-sama and my birth-master have never required anything of the sort from me.
I know I must rebuild my clan, but I don't know if that tier of happiness is available to me. I sincerely hope it is to you. I think you are a man that deserves that kind of happiness.

Have you ever fallen in love?
A strange and personal inquiry, I know, but I was recently asked to bless a couple at their wedding—apparently, I have gained a reputation as a wandering spirit?—and they looked so very, very happy. Almost delirious, really. I don't know if I will ever feel that way. A Kuzuryu puts their master first, above all. We have, in some cases, been used as paramours and mistresses by the masters we serve, despite martial ties. Danna-sama and my birth-master have never required anything of the sort from me.
I know I must rebuild my clan, but I don't know if that tier of happiness is available to me. I sincerely hope it is to you. I think you are a man that deserves that kind of happiness.
Even if you do drop in on naked young ladies.
Sincerely,
Kuzuryu Ashiko
