Chapter 29: Make Yourself at Home
Kagomaru's mother spoke softly. "You don't seem the sort to sit indoors."
"Hnn."
"Actually, you look quite uncomfortable," the woman continued knowingly. "You were dressed very differently when my son first brought you home."
Sesshoume glanced down at her elegant kimono and silken slippers, wondering how she'd given herself away. "Father insisted," she admitted.
Nodding to the villagers crowding around Kagomaru, his mother gently pointed out, "They'll see you as strange no matter what you do, so you may as well do what's most comfortable."
The oblique invitation surprised Sesshoume... and pleased her. Golden eyes flashed. "I will change now."
