Checking in.

[mythreemothers]

Her father's annual visit had actually be pretty recent, but that didn't stop the need to check up on everyone. Amiko put down her paperwork on her fledgling team long enough to call Misha.

"So what do you think of the Mets' chances in the coming season?"

"My job and my life are to serve, and given current circumstance, you are my daimyo. As such, it is not possible to interrupt, and if you require something, let me know. I will have time."

"My younger brother is coming to visit in a few days. I may have gotten slightly... boastful." Amiko blushes just a little. "He'd appreciate some combat practice with you, to add to his collection of educational experiences."

"It would be an honor. I will try not to shame you."

[mythreemothers]

"Of course. I entirely trust you to handle him to the best of your ability -- without, of course, cutting his head off. That is one of the few things I am not confident my brother could survive." Her voice is the same, though there's a slight flicker of worry across her face. There are so many people, some so close to home, interested in testing Amiko's heartfelt belief that Logan and Misha are immortal. "Thank you, Hajime-san."

"It is a sparring match, I will be using a bokken, or fighting unarmed, as he chooses. He will be in no danger."

[mythreemothers]

"Oh, yes. Of course. While I am being unnecessarily paranoid, should somehow anyone outside this building ask, my brother's visit is not to be discussed." As extremely doubtful as it is that this needed saying, better safe than sorry.

"Understood." He doesn't ask why. He trusts she has her reasons, and it is to him to obey. "No one will hear a word of it from me."

[mythreemothers]

"Thank you. I'll let you return to your practice."

[getmedieval]

He bows. "Thank you, Amiko-sama. Before you go, is there anything else I can do to help prepare for your guest? And does he speak Japanese?"

[mythreemothers]

"He speaks it well enough. You two might have a bit of trouble understanding each other, but not much more so than most people these days. But," she frowns. "If he acts like a stupid American, he doesn't mean any insult by it. Just habit; he likes being underestimated."

"That is not a problem. One cannot expect perfect manners from gaijin. I am sure we can get some help in translation if needed."

[mythreemothers]

She nods. "I'd certainly be happy to."
