Kaguya looked to the home and looked around. “I’ll be safe here?” She asked quietly.
 
Kaguya looked nervous but nodded. “I’ll stay hidden here, I promise I won’t leave.” She said with a firm nod.
 
She nodded. “Forgive me.. I’m not very self sufficient..” She said softly. “I’ve never had to take care of myself.”
 
Kaguya bowed her head, face flush with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, please don’t put yourself or anyone else out of the way for me.”
 
Kaguya nodded, bowing her head again to Yoichi. “Thank you.. truly.” She said softly.
 
She shook her head. “You’ve done enough for me..! I’ll be alright by myself for now..!” She already felt guilty enough, face flushed.
 
He nodded, "Alright...there should be food already, and I would hope you know how to make tea." The last part was a playful tease, his smile widening.
 
“I-I can make tea..!” She nodded firmly, looking determined. She had never made tea, but she had seen others make it hundreds of times before, surely it wouldn’t be that hard.
 
Kaguya nodded, and after seeing him off, moved inside to stay hidden. She struggled to start a fire in the hearth, but finally managed to do so.
 
It was nice, small enough to house her and a couple of his followers. There was some food, as he said; cured meats and some fresh harvested roots and vegetables.
 
Kaguya only only helped herself to some water, not wanting to burn the house down trying her hand at tea. It was a nice home, clean and well kept.
 
It was dark by the time the kakushi arrived, and one handed her a note that said thwy would take care of whatever needs she had that she was unable to do herself. It was from Yoichi, and at the end, he told her how he couldn't wait to see her again.
 
Kaguya thanked the kakushi profusely, apologizing for her lack of skills, keeping the letter on her person in her sleeve. It made her happy that he too wanted to see her, and for the time being, all she had to do was keep quiet and keep her head down.
 
"Please, it's no trouble!"
"We heard you were rather sheltered, so it's quite fine!"
"We would love to teach you whatever you would like to learn!" How kind, really. Douma never let her do anything.
 
Kaguya nodded and bowed her head. “I would like very much to learn what you’ll teach me..!” She said, still a bit embarrassed she had to be taught such things at her age, but Douma had never allowed her to do such serving work, telling her that’s what everyone else was for
 
"We'll start with tea! It's very easy!" They were delighted, in fact, to have such time with her, not at all bothered by her lack of knowledge.
 
Kaguya nodded and did as instructed, listening well and following all the instructions they gave her. She was happy to learn, excited to do something she had never been given the chance to.
 
She burnt the leaves a couple times, but it was alright. They drank it anyway out of politeness and continued to teach her, even had her help them clean if things became too dirty.
