❝ i don't know how i'm ever going to be able to repay you. ❞ - kintan to himiko
"You're kindness is enough," Himiko told him, honestly and truly. She knows that she has to be professional, this was business! She couldn't let her insignificant feelings get in the way of her doing deals. Business meant that one had to rule with power like an iron fist. Showing any emotion meant that you were giving power away to someone else but everything lately had been welling up inside her. Her hands wrapped around herself, to steady herself and hold herself. Himiko knew the only person that really was always going to be there for her was herself.
Still she allows her emotions to take over, as the words spill off her tongue. "You have no idea what your kindness, your trust and loyalty means to me. You actually show up...unlike other people in my life. It is said but you seem more proud of me, more so than my own mother and father. Your kindness and being here is more than enough for me." Himiko keeps on thanking him.
"If there is overstepping I do apologies...I know there are talks about your family in the media and...I wanted to say. At least you are there for your family. Your children own you that much." she whispers,"You give them everything, a challenge should not be something that divides but I can see how you are giving them a drive to more on. My own parents do not care about the empire I have built. Honestly, this whole thing was to get me out of being an embarrassment."
She bowed her head a little to Kintan before raising her head up a little," I've said too much. I should be going now. Just... you don't ever need to replay me. This will be on me. Thank you."
