The Toy was most pleased at the sight before it.   Hoshi was alone and it
seemed she was waited for it to make its move.  So now was the time and the
Toy moved forth.

With a bow meant for a true Queen, the Toy smiled at Hoshi.

"Greetings mi'lady,  my master has had me follow and watch you for quite
sometime though I dared not follow where my eyes would be unwelcomed.  My
master deeply appreciates manners and his loyal Toys' having manners also.

Much unlike your current situation is it not mi'lady.   My master said to
wait until hope was lost and that those that lack honor would rise to
power.  Is that not so with Senoske and what is happening in the north.
Daran Silvertongue is the root for everything that went wrong on this isle
mi'lady and now one other menace stands in his place.  The leader of ~V~.

Or have I misread to much in the situation and allowed my judgement to be in
error?"


Eagerly the Toy awaits the reply for his master had said Lady Hoshi was wise
when none were paying attention...
