Koyuki would arrive five minutes late to the meeting place. Two satchels on her right hip, one hanging just below the other with a bit extra slack given into the sling. Standard affair for the meeting she was dressed in her casual attire which was a rather intimidating appearance given the boots and gun on her opposite hip. Still, it wasn't anything surprisingly different than what she wore the other three times she's seen Hato. This time, however, she seemed marginally less distracted than she usually was.

Coming up near her, Koyuki would lean down on a nearby fencing, about a foot or two away. Glancing out toward the same birds that Hato was watching. Saying nothing at first as she waited for the other woman to notice her. Only then did she say, "Thank you for meeting me, Hato-san. Have you had good luck in your games?"

"I am glad. It is not often a ronin would have the opportunity to play such a game, even in the recent activity. I hear there's a whole turbo- it doesn't really matter, it's a silly name and probably not up to your speed. Still, I am glad you were able to try your skills in the game, Hato-san. You certainly have done well for yourself, take the chance to enjoy the victory," she says, with a lead to her voice as if that could have been the conversation however she cleared her throat.

Slipping one of the satchels off her shoulder, she places it down by her foot. "You know, maybe there is a different arcade I've heard about that might be more up to your speed? It's bound to be interesting, certainly. Wouldn't want your skills going to waste on anything beneath you. I, myself, have an outstanding balance there. Of course, I could always go in and withdraw my tickets someday. 75 whole tickets to spend at the prize counter, quite the horde. For what little work I put in that day, at least," she says, it almost half-sounds like an actual bit of amusement.

"I am glad to hear that you are confident, Hato-san. That is.. hopeful," she says, but that pause betrays a slight crack in the mask. Only slight, and certainly nothing to be too concerned over. Inhaling, she holds her breath for a moment while watching the birds. Was strange, seeing such peaceful life on a planet and not having the worry of being actively hunted by something else. Or, perhaps, not half-uncertain if the thing was going to surprise you in some miraculously violent way. Slowly exhaling over the course of that thought, she settles again, enjoying the post-rainy morning air.

"It was that one we spoke of the last time, the one I told you I might go to?" she says, looking more directly to Hato. "Turns out it was just as fruitful of an opportunity I had hoped. So, you should give it your own try."

koyuki turns back to the direction of the birds, and yet doesn't look up but rather down at the dirt. Not seeking anything there she merely finds a focal point from where she can un-focus her attention on the world around herself for a moment as if it was a backdrop to her thoughts. Keying a little more into her hearing, and focusing there somewhat. It wasn't a lot, but it helped.

"I am glad to hear it," she says, her voice drifting out of it's own focus as if an end to that conversation. Picking up with a renewed focus, "Hato-san. I have come across the opportunity to redirect repayment of good fortune. I would suggest that you be mindful of that should you meet a ronin by the name of Yurei."

"Thank you," she pauses.

"Consider her insurance. A shield against the myriad of dangers the ronin of this world undoubtedly face. Betting isn't my vice, Hato-san. I like making sure my time is well spent, and not wasted," she says, and leans away from her post to stand fully. Walking toward Hato and stopping just beside her momentarily. Speaking a touch more hushed, "She'll repay a debt to me, and do what I cannot be seen doing. Stay safe, Hato-san," she says.

Koyuki continues to walk, lest she overstay. Behind, where she'd been standing, still sits the satchel she'd earlier removed from her shoulder. Waiting patiently in the soft moisture filled air.
