I know of them. [Who in Kyoto wouldn't know of them? It's true that her first reaction to them isn't quite as negative as it could be - it's their abilities she doubts when it comes to Chizuru, not their intentions, and if they can be kind to a girl who's just looking for her father then she knows they're not all bad, deep down - so it's not such a stretch to conclude that she's familiar with them. After all, their reputation in Kyoto had been rather negative except for with those who knew them well.

Still, this does make things a little more complicated; Yamato hadn't seemed to know what she meant when she referenced the ochimizu, which means he's in the dark about that secret of the Shinsengumi's. She'll have to be sure that she doesn't let anything slip.

(It doesn't occur to her that the two of them might be thinking of two different versions of the Shinsengumi. Why would it?)]

I am Sen of Yase. [She inclines her head slightly.] That name might not be familiar to you... but that's alright. It seems we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the days to come, doesn't it?

[Since they're not likely to get sent home right away...]

Since we'll be becoming better acquainted, may I ask your name?
