"You know, there may be a time where you might not accompany me. I do not want you to be upset, should that ever be the case. I know you take your duty very seriously, but there are some things I feel I must do myself. And the kami know I have ever been a stubborn harridan of a woman..."

But Yotsuyu couldn't help but chuckle to herself at that. Even in their short acquaintance, Hendrik ought to know the truth of that.
