Dear Lady
I wish to report to you, I have taken the child Aiyoku under my wing to see to her education, though, it is not as extensive as yours in the ways of life, art and dance; I wish that she will be prepared to appear in court either in service or as entertainment.
She seems to be a good girl, but her rear-age on the Mainland is sorely apparent. Given her age a lifetime has been lost to give her an education that could of been afforded her, but I am sure she will retain enough to be well accepted.
Currently I am informed she is residing at the Tokuno temple near the Teahouse. Though, this is not my doing, I warned her of the harm rumors or actions that are not deemed honorable would have severe penalties.
I wish to extend to you an invitation to my home in Zento on Sunday once Tokuno business has been completed. At this time you can assess the child.
In Her Name Shisuta-Kan Ni'Xuin

*A note, carried by Umeko, written in practiced Tokunoese script on fine parchment is delivered to the Lady Ni’Xuin* Dearest Lady Ni’Xuin:
A gem in the rough is always best handled by those most interested in the outcome of the cutting.
Your decision to undertake the mainland child’s education is a wise choice considering the Okiya’s strict rules and profound expectations.
I am sure Aiyoku will excel at her studies under the guidance of your gentle hand and will be most acceptable to the Court, either in service to Her Majesty or as entertainment, given her age.
I am grateful for your invitation to meet with you and Aiyoku, however, I have been engaged to attend a prominent Lord of Magincia who is willing to provide the required fees and expenses for the next seven days. As such I will be absent from my homeland for that time but will say daily prayers for Aiyoku’s safety and enlightenment.
Most Sincerely,
(Signed and Sealed)
Mariko Geisha of the Ichiriki Chaya

Dear Lady Mariko I hope upon your arrival home we can meet to map a course of action for the child, Aiyoku.
I look forward to your return.
In Her Service.... Ni'Xuin
