Lazy day.

Alison decided to take advantage of the milder day and was out walking around the koi pond. She'd fed them up and leaned lightly on the bridge rail to watch them. It was chilly enough for a coat, but not so icy that she shivered. A good day, she decided.

Sadie lay at her feet and peered over the side of the bridge to watch the fish. Alison had the feeling that the dog would love to grab one of the shiny fish. But, then she probably wouldn't know what to do with it once she had it. It was a good thing Sadie wasn't a cat.

Plum blossoms fell from the trees and onto the water's surface. The fish would swim up to nibble and look sad when they discovered it was not food. Alison kind of felt bad for giggling.

Like most things she did, the jonin approached Alison silently. And stealthily. As was usual for someone who had been a ninja many more years than she had not. Though she did make sure she stepped on a twig and snapped it before getting too close. It wouldn't do to have her daughter-in-law get startled and fall into the pond. Or accidently kick the puppy into the koi pond.

The jonin smiled pleasantly as she greeted Alison. "Good afternoon."

"Super secret ninja plans, hmm? Very sneaky. I'll have to be careful." She chuckled and shook her head. A year ago she might have been serious. But, she was definitely not now. The jonin obviously adored Longshot and her unborn grandchildren.

"Japanese stories will be just fine. The little ones are going to learn both Japanese and English. Since we'll be living here, it would be silly not to." She'd have to talk to Longshot and find out if he wanted them to learn Cadre as well.
