[ After the meeting, Shinobu's first instinct is to go to the Saloon and grab herself a drink. On the way out, though, she locks eyes with Erika...who is undoubtedly one of the strangest, most unnerving people she's ever met.

She doesn't show fear, though -- she's less afraid and more tense -- and she stops. ]

Fine. You were right.

[ That's what she wants to hear, isn't it? ]

[ Shinobu is not quite on the verge of winding down just yet. She's doing some small exercises on the bottom floor of the Flame Lily farm to work off some of her anxiety.
