Chisato never was one for subtlety, or detecting it either. He always took everything at face value, and was at the time being far too terrified at the prospect of being engaged with this particular crab woman calling the shots. So he stammered for a bit trying to find an answer, the only response that came from him was a sneeze, and then he quickly covered his nose up and said, "Excuse me!"
He bolted out of the room, the yojimbo lingered only long enough to say, "My mother is a nakodo, my lord would be grateful if you contacted her. Shiba Myaku of Kyuden Asako." He offered this as if 'translating' Chisato's incoherent babbling, then he bowed and chased after him.
Chisato might fear the consequences of a bad match, but damn it if Chisato's vassals didn't try hard in his absence.

Satomi and her yojimbo were waiting for Chisato under a tree in the side of the road leaving Kyuden Hida. Satomi already sent a runner ahead to the Toritaka daimyo.
So, Chisato-san, what happened? She was peeling an orange, and looked up to question him.

"She tried to get me married... and said some very terrifying things about the last time I met her."
He looks back as his yojimbo returns to his side moments later, "I don't think I like that woman... shes scary."
His eyes go wide as he suddenly realizes, "Is it possible she was.... dishonest with me?!"

She? She's a hag and always looked at me from above because my parents were...who they were, she got me as husband a man who was unable to forgive me for being between him and his true love, but dishonest...
No. She said sternly. What she said, Asako-san?

He gulps, "They said that I had visited them before... and that they gave me information for my genealogy... about Yasuki Hachi sama's true origin, as well as Yasuki Kaneka sama..."
But I don't remember ever being here. Or ever seeing that information."

Satomi threw the orange at Hida Arata, who caught it in the air. The yojimbo nodded to his companion Shiba, and both gave the couple some privacy to talk. She sighed. It wasn't only abou the informations (as everyone else, she suspected of someting very strange in the claims of both personalities), but about this man with puppy eyes. C'mon, Chisato, she was intimate, how long will you deny you need to find the cause of these memory lapses? Are you really ok with the idea of losing the best of your life? The most important informations and... the best moments in the arms of a lover... ? Is it life?

Chisato has a moment of weakness, hearing her talk to him in this way, he can't help but wonder how that night had gone, the touch of her skin, the scent of her hair. He flushes redder then the reds in his kimono. He stammers some, rubbing his nose absentmindedly, "I- would uh, argue that as long as I act honorably, and in the interests of my work, that I always remember the best... parts.. of my life."
Even as he says it, he knows that it isn't likely so, its just a convenient lie for him to cover up that he has no idea what it must have been like. Lost in his thoughts he doesn't even realize that his eyes have lowered to chest level on her.
"I always try to act honorably."

Uhum. Since you don't remember much, it means you don't always act the way you wish, right? Like... Satomi spoke, but seeing him as red as a grilled shrimp doesn't made wonders for her self esteem.
She touched his cheek tenderly. Just... promise me that when you arrive to your home, you'll find a good shugenja and will find out what is happening, right?
It was only for a brief moment, and she smiled, withdrawing to a more appropriate distance. Tsueko is a old hag, with an excellent memory. If she says you have been here, you did. Now... I believe we have another big problem to solve for now... Maybe you can try to talk with your equal Toritaka, and try to find out if "She" changed her behavior, or traveled for a long time, when he was her sensei... What do you think?

His blush doesn't fade as he looks away from her more appropriately, collecting himself. "You want me to ask the Toritaka daimyo about the crab clan champions training, and to see if she has changed at all... significantly, yes?"

Exactly, Chisato-san... Satomi didn't insist in the other topic. We better go, I'll try to find more evidences with Benjiro-san... Reiha's brother would need a bit more of circumlocution... A very dangerous task, she knew.

He bows to her, "Alright then, should we return to Yasuki Yashiki?"
