She nods, understanding and maternal. She moves closer, ready to offer a comforting touch if needed.
"Someday, I may sit you and Mako-chan down to tell you the details of my past. They are stories only four living people know," she says, her smile sorrowful at the combined recollection. "But believe me when I say I have an idea how you feel right now."

"Mine is not the only heart touched by loss, and the dear of facing it again, I am sure" She smiles and pushes herself past these thoughts with a visible effort. She has faced more loss than most perhaps, and losing again is hard for her, but she will not let it destroy her.

"No, no you are not." Hisui puts a hand on the Crane's shoulder. A comforting gesture, a reassuring one. "If you need someone to talk to, both your mothers are willing to listen."

She kisses that hand, softly, a chaste kiss, with a smile "It is good to have those that care again... If hard to readjust to"

She giggles. "I kiss your mother's hand like that every so often," she says. "But I'm sure given time you'll adjust. As awkward as having two mothers can seem to be."

"Two mothers is far better than none. I was never close to my father, even when I entered into the school he did. I think he resented my success. And then he grew to resent me for other things"

She shakes her head in shame. Not at herself, but at Uetani's father.
"A parent should be proud of their children reaching out from under their shadow, not stifling that potential," she says. "Fuyu-chan would be proud to see you surpass her, I'm sure."

"Even prouder when you do" she smiles "She told me once, that she will leave me her poetry, only as she expects to die along side you"

"She told me if she dies before the five of you are ready, I'm getting her poetry. I promised her I would add to it each day until all our children are ready to be without a parent. Then, and only then, will I follow her." She pauses for a moment, not bothered by things at all. "She's really the wise one between us."

"Do you think so?" she smiles and continues with her kata as she speaks "I think that your own wisdom is evident, perhaps to everyone but you"
