Was it snowing in Japan right now? The Shimazu so wished to know what the state of affairs were back at home. Her uncle was likely making a huge mess of everything, as that seemed to be a flaw in his very nature. Sometimes she wondered at the truth of her Noboro actually being related to her father. They seemed total opposites. Her father had been everything a noble leader should be, while Noboro would be much more fitted to the role of village scammer and troublemaker. He was the reason she had had to leave. If she hadn't, she would have been trapped into marriage with someone who had paid for her hand, not earned it. There was no doubt in Tsukiko's mind that whoever her uncle chose would not have been an honorable sort of person. Not the sort of person she wished to be tied to, to have to share her rule with.
Her concentration was broken as a stammered greeting drifted through the cold winter air. The Japanese fey turned to see a young female wearing a coat, waving hello to her. She may not have been the most well versed person in social interactions, especially when it came to these lands, but hospitality was something she understood well. "Hello, would you care to come inside? You look awfully cold," her accented voice spoke, taking time to pronounce each "l". She had never seen the other wolf before, but she was deep in Dahlia territory so she must have been a part of the pack. Offering her a place to warm up was really the least that she could do.
