"Yes but perhaps at least. But for now I require more if I am going to help. Can you tell more about the situation between the two settlements??". She said walking along side the man.
He sighed, then moved on to a home. Opening it the man turned towards Jikan. "Lets talk about such a thing inside. There is much to discussion and not for the youngsters". He stood there, holding the entrance open waiting for Jikan to enter.
Hearing the man, Jikan simply nodded before entering the home. Her feet making a soft sound as she feet the soles of her shoes step into the soft dirt floor. Off to the distance there was a circle, rocks lining it up to give it is shape. After Jikan entered the man followed suit inside, closing the door behind him before moving to the circle. Going to the end on the other side to face Jikan before sitting down. "So, where to begin truthfully...".
Jikan moved, taking a few short steps before facing the man on the other side. Sitting down on her knees, her hands resting calming at her legs. "Well, the latest or more critical I would suppose", she said looking at the man.
The man looked soley for a second. As if he was gazing at a past, a past he had long ago grew tired of and wanted to forget. To move on from. "This settlement of ours has a long history with us. Once were were two sides of the same coin. Kin. But times have changed that. Our people and ourselves have changed that. There is recently a debate on land. Sacred areas in the eyes of both settlements. Ours is the Aitoheiwa meadow. A place filled with fruitful greenery and more important and emotional and mental healing ground for us. For them Hogo to michibiki river. A stream that flows into a pond. Bountiful fix are there and from memory, a sacred spot to light the lanterns of the deceased. A place to send loved ones off to the world beyond. The issue is...that each spot currently belongs to the other settlement".
