[color=a187be]"Don't call me or my mother anything. If she wanted the other clans to do what she said, she would simply force them to do it.  If I'm telling people like you to do it, then don't bother saying who it came from. Dress it up like something you discovered if you want, we don't really care. You also won't be able to contact us, if we want to talk to you we will find you ourselves."[/color] To her that was pretty obvious, that they didn't actually need people to spread things in their name, people would do what they were told if needed.   "[color=a187be]As for your so called family back home? I can't and won't make any promises, if they get in my mother's way they will be dealt with like anyone else would.  Right now they aren't even on our radar though, their goals and our own have very little overlap and they are safe until that changes. If it does change, then no one will be able to save them."[/color] She didn't care if it wasn't what Jiang was looking for, and just gave him the honest answer that they would only be safe if they themselves stayed out of their way.  She then turned her attention to Kenji who asked a question that she expected one of them would ask.  Thankfully her family didn't team up with others often, because she had interest in actual spending prolonged time with the group.

[color=a187be]"As I said, my mother plays the long game.  Going directly after people is a last resort, she observes and tailors tactics for the specific threat when the situation is stacked in our favor the most. Also our goals are only the same in that we don't want those women either destroying or controlling the island, my mother's interests in Baji are very different than those of Shima's."[/color] She didn't know what all they knew about her family, but expected they would eventually see that despite the common goal that the two groups were not real allies.
