Letter from Lord Shiroinu Sesshomaru of the West to Miss Higurashi Rin

.

Miss Higurashi,

This one apologizes that he left you and your cousin to the care of his little brother. He is not quite attentive enough to the conduct and execution of socially acceptable vocabulary. He is foolish, but this one believes that neither of you would mind. If he does or says something unbecoming, do not hesitate to inform this one and this lord will exact a punishment.

This one has gone to see Lady Higurashi to discuss the matter of this one's brother's proposal to your cousin, Princess Kagome. There are many details of the marriage contract and this one believes that the wily couple will do something foolish if a wedding is not decided upon soon.

This one shall also inquire about you. There is no parent of yours of whom this one can ask leave, but from Princess Kagome's report, this one sees that her honorable lady mother took upon herself the duty of caring for you and ensuring your future.

And, armed with your guardian's leave, this one shall endeavor to win your favor, so the duty may be transferred to this one's shoulders.

Be safe on your travels. Trust the escort that this one and his brother provided, Fear not the night, nor those who follow paths you have not seen before. An observant individual may find a path in the moonlight and find solace in the moonshade.

Sesshomaru
