She doesn't recognise that tree.
She's been here before, she's not that far from the estate, this isn't some unknown place. She must've taken a wrong turn, of course, but where? She should probably just try to retrace her steps, Jaol will be incredibly mad at her...
Which Tetsuma does once it's properly evening, with a yawn and a long, languid stretch.
Another yawn, and a glance out the window to gauge the time of day. "I'll go on a run before bedtime, then, so I don't have trouble sleeping. How'd you sleep?"
"Fine, it was just a short nap, I've been practising genjutsu since."
Tetsuma stands and stretches some. "Any progress? Also, I think we talked about finding someone to question over the runes on the pitcher. Still interested?"
"Yeah, some progress, but it's incremental. I'm totally interested in more magic, though."
"Yeah, working on jutsu's frustrating like that. At least genjutsu's not prone to false leads; half the problem with improving the transformation jutsu is I keep going in the wrong direction." Stretch. "Let me brush my hair and get dressed, before we go anywhere."
Then: downstairs? Tetsuma has no idea who to ask, but they can maybe find someone who doesn't look busy (or ask when they take the pitcher to the kitchens for a refill).
Yeah. Dinner's not until later, so they're probably not too busy right now?
So to the kitchens it is.
The kitchen is just off the courtyard, and actually decently busy, but not very. There's prep-work going on, things being cleaned, someone hauling water, and two servers loitering and talking quietly near the entryway, keeping an eye on the near-empty courtyard through the window. They'll politely intercept Tetsuma and Dayo before they can disrupt anything.
One of the servers takes a look at the pitcher then shrugs and says, "I don't know much myself. We get them from a craftsman in town. Feid might know more, if she doesn't mind talking while she works. She's out by the pump getting water." He gestures to another door.
It leads to a courtyard/ alleyway between several buildings. There's two pumps, and a tall girl filling buckets at one of them.
"Oh no, we were just informed we might be able to ask you about the runes in the pitcher."
She eyes them. "Mind if I keep working, then? And I'd like some help carrying these back. But I can chat, sure."
Tetsuma volunteers to carry the water buckets back, since shinobi strength.
She may only have budding shinobi strength so not much of it! She can help though.
There's only the two buckets at the moment, but she'll keep that they're both enhanced in mind if they're talking long enough for multiple trips. "What kinds of questions did you have?"
