Miyuki nodded, "Very much, and you?"

Her ears twitched and she followed the sound to where Kyrie was sitting. Since it was so quiet, she figured no one else was up, so decided to sit by the woman. She did seem friendly, but Miyuki chalked it up to them not being out in the open where they always had to worry about being attacked.

"Wonderfully," Kyrie replied warmly. She shuffled over a bit to make some more room for Miyuki and her tails on the couch beside her, adjusting her portfolio slightly so that it wouldn't be in the way. "I must confess, it was a pleasant surprise to find that we actually would all fit into the house. And everything is so well taken care of ..."

She trailed off, then smiled again at Miyuki and looked again at the papers she was holding.

"Yea...." Miyuki murmured as she looked around where they were sitting.

It was hard to believe their luck, then again she always had been under the impression since she was little that this was kind of normal for her family. Though highly abnormal.

"What are you reading?" she asked curiously.

Kyrie glanced up at Miyuki again, then back at the portfolio. "Bits of this and that," she replied, honestly not trying to be evasive. "A bit of history, recounting of certain events ... if this man Mailon has been helping people like I have, there has to be a record of it somewhere. There are records of me in just about every country, with a few necessary exceptions ... and I've been doing this for nearly a thousand years and never heard of this man."

Her brow furrowed slightly. "I know, the odds of two people meeting - especially two travelers - might seem long, but ... I can't help but wonder why, in so many centuries, we have never met."

Then she laughed softly.

"I must admit," she smiled ruefully, "I don't know if I'm bothered because it seems odd or because I'm a bit jealous."

Which of course would be foolish on her part.

Miyuki shrugged, "Even if the chances are long, you'd probably hear about it. The reputation of the White Elves outside of Caras Galadhon is so bad, that if one went around saving people, others would talk about that just for that."

She was pretty sure, they sounded like they had such a fearsome reputation that fought on your behalf wasn't something one wouldn't tell.

"People can't help but talk about what's unusual, and I think with all the bad talk that White Elves normally get... that counts as unusual."

The kitsune nodded her head as if she was sure of it.

Kyrie eyed Miyuki with a new appreciation. She would never have thought that the kitsune was so perceptive, or so worldly-wise. She had thought the girl to be rather innocent, in fact.

"I agree wholeheartedly," she murmured, still keeping her voice down. "That's why it's so odd that this is the first I've heard of him. And I admit, for the past two hundred years I haven't traveled much at all; but in the past five years or so I've been to most countries again, or at least through them, and still this is the first I've heard of him."

It was more like Miyuki was used to being talked about for being unusual, so she figured that would apply to behaviour. Granted, she never had this problem when sailing, only when she was in the Westland, but she was quite little when she went. It left an impression.

She tilted her head and thought about it, she couldn't imagine why Kyrie hadn't heard. While not everyone was a gossip, people could be gossips. It was fun listening to what people were talking about.

Yes, she would admit to eavesdropping in markets in private.

"Huh... I can't imagine why. Even if he had a particular route, it would only mean more people knew about him along that route right? Unless there are places most people don't normally go?"

Otherwise she couldn't imagine a guy like that staying hidden. The only other reason was that he normally saved from afar, which again didn't sound plausible to her.

"I can think of only a few places that would be avoided as much as possible," Kyrie mused, setting the portfolio aside. "Garnelia, and the White Elven countries. And I will admit, I avoided Poleria for a while - that's where my mother was born - but I think they'll have forgotten me by now."

Not that that made it one hundred per cent safe, but it was still safer than it had been centuries earlier.

"Well...." Miyuki mused, "I guess.... as long as they don't know it's the guy who helps other races, at a glance he might get left alone in the White Elven countries... it's cold up there right? Well.. wait, they probably don't feel cold, so they wouldn't need to cover themselves up..."

And elves had amazing healing abilities to begin with, she assumed they also didn't suffer from sunburn or dry skin that was likely to happen in that area.

"But.... unless you knew what he looked like, he could get away with being in those countries right?" she questioned.

Though that didn't explain what he was doing outside of those countries, though she supposed he might travel to other places on occasion. Who knew what the guy did in his spare time.

"In the White Elven countries, yes," Kyrie agreed, "but anywhere else he would stick out. White Elves are the most hated of the races, no matter where you go. But that still wouldn't explain how I haven't heard of him in any of the other countries."

She sighed and closed the portfolio. "I should just let it go," she murmured. "It's going to bother me, but I really don't think anything is going to turn up, especially with what little information I have."

She would do better to review other notes.

"So what are your plans for today?" she asked, leaning against the back of the couch and crossing her legs comfortably. She was probably the most relaxed Miyuki had ever seen her, even in her sister and brother-in-law's house.

Miyuki blinked at that, that was actually a really good question. Now that her pokeballs were complete, she didn't have a large project to do at the moment. Though there were always new ideas.

"I think I might explore the town later on today, but otherwise I'm not sure..."

She mused on this, she could train, and she should. It was early morning so she could meditate, and that was always useful. After all, one never stopped learning or improving, and she wanted to see how far she could take the sensing of auras skill. Something she had started back when she was smaller.

Kyrie nodded slowly, thoughtfully.

"I ... I hope you don't mind," she said hesitantly, "but I was wondering if I might ask you some questions ... there are things I'm curious about, if it's all right ..."

She hoped it wouldn't take long, but there were some things that she needed to know now that they were in closer quarters. Sure it would be for only a few days, maybe a week, but it was still important.

"Sure," Miyuki nodded and shrugged at the same time, as if she didn't care that Kyrie needed to ask questions.

She didn't mind really, since she figured there would always be questions. They weren't really the most normal group that ever existed. Her aunt was a dragon, her teacher was reincarnated at least three times, and she could only imagine what her Uncle and father had been through growing up. Of course seeing as her father was married to her mother, she figured he had a pretty normal childhood as any of them.

Kyrie nodded, suddenly quite serious.

"What kind of magic do you do?" she asked quietly. "What is Lancaeriel teaching you to do?"

She had spoken with Lancaeriel about her knowledge of magic, but she had never been satisfied with the answer that she had received.

Unlike Lancaeriel, Miyuki had an easier time in answering that. Though, for her, it was easier because she didn't even have a fraction of what Lancaeriel knew. It was why Miyuki was never bothered by the fact Lancaeriel was always vague about her magic, how do you describe knowing the theory to nearly everything?

"I've been focusing my studies on illusion magic mainly, including some light tricks... since well... you can always use a good light or two," Miyuki replied, "My other area of study are runes."

She left it at that because runes was a complicated study, and there was no limit. The limit was only in one's imagination and skill.

"My gifts include some shapeshifting, so I can kind of hide... somewhat," Miyuki added.

Somewhat because no elf would have her kind of hair colouring, and no fox would have that many tails.
