Leo's POV. 

After about a days walk we made it to her farm house and we could see her exercising the horse when she was done we came out of the shadows "you wanted to speak with me" our master asked in a gentle soothing voice. And once again she dropped down on her knees and said "yes. It is an honor to meet the legendary Homato Yoshi." She said her head still down "arise young one and lift your head" my Master said in the same gentle soothing voice. after a moments hesitation she stands up and lifts her head then my master repeats "you wanted to speak with me?" "yes I did. shall we go inside to discuses further?" splinter nods and with that we head into the house when we get in she imidetly heads to the kitchen while splinter sits on the couch so I follow him when I get there I ask him "whats going on? why are you two acting so...difrent " "its the way that the treditional Japanese act and shes following it to a key" splinter responded and I only nod in return. after a few minutes she returnes  with a  tray of tea with the most elegant tea cups I've ever seen after every one had a sip splinter asked "what did you want to discus with me?" "the leader of the Lotus clan sent me to ask you to ally us. I know no more" and before anyone can say anything splinter speaks up did you say Lotus clan" he asks she nods "we will ad but under certain circumstances" she nods again but then says if you name them I can contackt him and we can continue this discussion further" splinter nods then says

if I decide to quite and leave we may do so

if one of us is injured we may leave and or ask them to give ad

we will be allowed to follow our beliefs

and we stay together on matter what

that is all I require for our ad" she nods and walks of when shes gone I turn to splinter with a look that says HUU? "like I said this is how many of the Japanese act, speak, and treat themselves and others" with that in mind me and my brothers nod.   after a bit she comes back and says "he has accepted all your requests and only asks that you serve loyally and Splinter nods in understanding.
