"The best people create their own destiny."

"And we're excellent."

"The best in all universes, it seems."

She laughs.

"...How'd you meet them? Your other students."

"Assorted ways... Elaise and Amajina were my first students after Sayuri - they were already friends, working together as ship guards usually, and they weren't village aligned."

"They were strong, and we were hearing rumors about them, so - Sayuri was younger, then, inexperienced, and we mostly did more diplomatic missions, so we were assigned to investigate Elaise and Amajina, and then recuit them if an opportunity presented itself."

"...Elaise had a progressive congenital disorder, apparently, and she'd fallen into a coma shortly before we arrived. Amajina knew Kiri shinobi were in the area and tracked us down, and - offered whatever we wanted, if Kiri could heal Elaise."

"Sayuri was able to. I didn't demand anything of them, just - the normal amount routine care at the hospital would've cost, so they wouldn't be suspicious of the altruism... I'm normally not that nice, but - "

"I recognized Elaise. I'd killed her family when she was a small child, sparing only her. So... I helped her, now."

"Those two asked to come to Kiri, in the end, and they joined as my students."

"Chihiro and Elieyha were later, and - they're less centrally mine. Chihiro's primary sensei nowadays is actually a member of the daimyo's court..."

"She looks it. Very... put together."

"She came to Kiri because of Sayuri, and she's gotten a little bit enthusiastic about our traditional culture around retainers."

"My apprentice was much the same. A strong appreciation for hierarchy."

"She's been very good for Sayuri, too. I like having her here."

"Good."

Small laugh. Then: "Sayuri resurrected everyone in Konoha - really centrally including Tobi - pretty much entirely for Chihiro's sake, and Chihiro defied everything she'd been raised to, in order to protect Sayuri after. It's - "

"I feel like they're already surpassing me, in a lot of ways."

"That takes no small amount of courage," Occlus murmurs.

"They're both incredibly brave."

She nods. "They sound it."

"I'd - like to try introductions again, if they don't mind."

"I think they'll be up for it."

Occlus kisses Ani's cheek. "Another brave girl here."

"You rather help, Mistress." 

"I know, pet."

Kiss!!!

"I can arrange a dinner for a few hours from now. Give you two some time to destress."

"That would be very kind," Occlus says, and kisses Ani again.

She pokes at Anakin, suggesting now would be a good time to go make friends if he's still at the residence.

...He heads out.

She laughs. "Have fun."

And then she jumps down to make introductions of her own - and offer to guide him across the city.

(The suites are now Occlus and her wife's.)

Then she has plenty of time to ensure her wife is fully relaxed and stress-free before confronting the younger alts again.
