Ayumu'd been a smart, resilient child, too, with a tougher skin than most young girls her age. She'd been little more than a toddler when she'd first begun to learn the trade of a kunoichi at her mother's knee. Younger than Joss had looked to have been on his deathbed when harsh training had replaced the years that should have been her childhood. By the time, she'd been fifteen she'd been a full-fledged undercover operative committing acts for her country that most grown women would balk at.
In her experience, the only thing that's really changed since Ayumu became an adult was the world around her becoming a much more complicated place to navigate while the expectations and demands growingly increasingly unreasonable.
"On that note, do you think you could introduce me to Shin sometime? I'd just like to meet him and get a sense of what he's about. If everything's fine between you, I promise I won't interfere."
Her words are coming from a place of maternal concern rather than any desire to control him. Ayumu'll just feel a little better seeing for herself what Shin's really like since a person giving someone as young as Joss beer sounds like someone she might need to keep tabs on.
"And thank you for helping with the clean up. I greatly appreciate it."
