Shuyun nor Lord Shonto could hear, nodded, and pushed the shoji
closed.

Lord Shonto raised an eyebrow, a gesture his staff did not need
explained.

УJaku Katta has arrived in Rhojo-ma, Sire.Ф

Shonto reached unconsciously for the coins again but stopped
himself. УHuh.Ф He turned his gaze back to the opening in the
shojis. УIt would be interesting to know what the EmperorТs Guard
Commander could tell us of these coins.Ф

Hojo nodded.

УPlease arrange a meeting with General Jaku as soon as
convenience allows. We shall see if it is trueЧin the dark tigers
see more than men.Ф

Even by Botanist standards the Prefect of Seh was a very old man
and his age inhabited his body in manner uncommon among the
Botahist trained. Monks typically remained lithe and youthful far
past the age when the untrained had slipped into infirmity if they
remained alive at all.

Brother Nyodo, Master of the Botahist faith and Prefect of Seh,
moved so slowly that he seemed always to be progressing toward
an early closure of the Form.

He set a tightly rolled scroll on his writing table and very slowly
turned back to his guest; Senior Brother So-tura, the chi quan
Master of Jinjoh Monastery.

УThere is no brother by that name in our registry; Hitari, yes but no
Hitara. Was Brother Shuyun certain?Ф

УPrefect, I do not think it is possible for him to make such a
mistake.Ф

УYou think highly of this young Initiate, Brother So-tura. I begin to
wish to make his acquaintance.Ф

УPerhaps that will become possible at some future time, Prefect. It
is the Supreme MasterТs wish, for the time being, that we keep our
meetings with Brother Shuyun infrequent. It is important that Lord
Shonto feel that his Spiritual Advisor is truly his.Ф

УI only hope this will not lead toЕФ the monk searched for a word,
УЕ to the willfulness we experienced with Brother Satake.Ф
