Pete was noticing what Kinn was noticing too. Signs of toys. If he had to guess he'd bet that they were little girls. And given the age of Waisu? Grandchildren. Rising up, he went over to the older man and waved for him to continue to help Kinn. As he did, he took in the name of the group that the man had spoken of. He knew it well. The group that he'd been gaining favor with considered the Yamato-Nara-gumi their enemies.

This could be good for them on more than one level.

Waiting until Kinn's arm was set, Pete stepped forward again with a kind smile. Remembering his Japanese honorifics, he used that now. "Waisu-sensei. Do you have any pictures of your grandchildren? I would like to help you for the kindness that you have shown us. We may not seem like much but we are stronger than we look and have been building allies here."

He gently rested a hand on the man's shoulder. "You are under the protection of the Theerapanyakul and soon they will be too."
