"...And so, the hunt begins again."
Pirates.
A dead captain.
A bounty.
In order to grasp onto the freedom she desperately wanted, to see her sister once again, she had to do it. It was a swift and painless death, she was kind enough to give him that. Did he deserve worse? Certainly, but Kanako wasn't the one to mutilate someone. Despite her behavior, she had some sort of class.
"What's an Arrow doin' 'ere in Gridania?"
Pirates.
A symbol.
Poisons.
If the boy hadn't flaunted his ship's symbol, Kanako would've been left completely unaware that the boy was there. The Arrows were known for their poisons. Hiding it in someone's food. Having their weapons tipped in it. Creating it and selling it. It was their specialty, it was what made them feared. For every deal made with these pirates, people were left afraid, as if the food they were provided could not be trusted.
Now, knowing that these pirates were out hunting her again, it left herself and even her sister in great danger. The best thing to do was to stay away from Limsa Lominsa, but what was Kanako not doing? Staying away from Limsa. Instead, she would go to the Wench and enjoy the company of anyone who wished to entertain her for that evening.
Perhaps it was simple luck that one of their members, or their new captain, didn't walk in while she was there. Perhaps it helped that she was one of them, and knows when to stay out of Limsa.
"They'll come lookin' in Gridania."
Mamiko was Kanako's twin sister, the most innocent person she knows. Knowing that these pirates would likely begin looking in the Shroud because of the boy she met there and allowed to live another sun, she knew it wasn't safe to stay. At least for a few suns.
Perhaps it was coincidence that she found Yumi after being away for ten cycles?
For the next few days, Kanako and Mamiko would stay in Thanalan to travel with their old family. The family had grown, and it brought a great warmth in Kanako's heart to know this. It was unfortunate that they couldn't stay.
"And 'ere I thought, they actually fergot about me..."
The morning when the pirates found their dead captain and missing woman, they knew exactly what happened. Kanako knew what would come for the next cycles, and possibly the rest of her life. A bounty was placed - wanted dead or alive. However, as the Arrows began to rebuild and gain new members, Kanako and her bounty was almost forgotten.
She was able to walk freely in Limsa without ever having to worry about one of them coming from behind and slitting her throat. She went three cycles without ever having to worry. But now? Now the bounty is starting to rise up from the surface again, and she must tread ever so carefully.
Who knows what the new and improved Arrows are like.
