[A courtesan and a nun, technically... But she doesn't feel like being pedantic on that front.]

Oh, he was very right.

[She agrees immediately, her tone light and accompanied by a chuckle that rolls... because she is rolling in her sheets, luxuriating in her amusement and getting more comfortable in her "borrowed" suite.]

There is a bit more to the story, of course... a bit of an epilogue about how Ikkyu is summoned to her deathbed years later when she is wasting away of illness. A strange little afternote of how Ikkyu's disciple turns out to the Hell Courtesan's long-lost elder brother, how after she dies they expose her body to the elements until only bones are left and each piece of her skeleton remains intact as proof of her piety and pure faith... But those aren't nearly as interesting.

[Kicking her feet slowly as she murmurs her words into the phone, Kiritsubo nestles into the sheets with a rumble.]

Now, my curious little friend... You are probably the only one at that party who will truly know what the Hell Courtesan is ♡

[Which is not the same as knowing what she is... But it's a morsel.]
