"A retreat? Now that's an intriguing idea," says Kazushi. "We may be able to afford a decent enough place around here..."

Taraka nodded.

"If you need any advice on the local realtors, I can point you to some good ones. You could even pick just how secluded you want your retreat to be, whether you want quick access to the club or not hear anything but the local wildlife. You could even go with one of those Super Yachts and just sail out to sea when it pleased you." she suggested.

"Oh, I don't know that I could do secluded," Kazushi says with a laugh. "I'm city-born and -raised. I get nervous if it gets too quiet."

Tartaka grinned a bit.

"So a lower city penthouse for you and your child while your wife spirits people off to whichever sightseeing destination will bring them around to her side the quickest?" she suggested.

"That does sound like her style," confirms Kazushi. "I've been up the mountain, and I liked the view of Namigashira Bay from up there, so there's a good selection of natural sights..."

Taraka nods.

"With enough amneities near at hand. Amenable local government is a plus too. What else would you want, Bayushi-san?" she asked.

"At the moment, I can't think of much," he admits, "assuming my superiors have no objections. Retreat or no, they'd want me to be able to respond quickly if needed."

Taraka nods.

"Well with Silver Carp not too far away, if you needed to leave in a hurry, I'm sure you would have no issue." she agreed.
