"Oh great, you're the reason I got to wander around for almost a decade. Ojii-sama, that is a bit extreme," the young woman mentioned. About seven or eight years prior to this one, Youko had wiped out the Blood Cult. As a result the girl had come to find the Sage, seeking to get what she needed. The man before her had once told her when she was ready, she should return, and the fall of the Blood Cult had declared her readiness, at least in her own mind. When she thought about it though, she'd gotten to have several years of experience outside of the island that she likely wouldn't have gotten otherwise. "But, I suppose, seeing the world was good too," she added at the end.
As for the reason behind her coming back to this place, she looked at him strangely. She thought that would be obvious, but she wouldn't answer until after he'd cleared up her curiosities about his loneliness. "Sou ka, that's kind of comforting actually. But that only covers like the last two decades," the girl seemed to be rather astute. "As for why I am here, you told me to come back when I was ready. I had no reason not to return after the fall of the Blood Cult. I want to help the clan. They could use the knowledge I have, and become better. I can help them both with the old ways of the clan, and integrating the new way the world works. Most of them have never left the island, they don't know about all the other things going on in the world," she said. Leading the clan back to being a prosperous group was her only real goal. Beyond that, she had no real idea what the Sage wished for her when he told her to return, she simply followed his instructions as dutifully as possible.
