[Kojuro raises his eyebrows slightly at Masamune, a small unspoken rebuke - because one, that's impossible unless the girl is significantly younger than she looks and acts, and two, Masamune knows better. There are certain things a lord must be responsible for, and children is one of them. But Kojuro is glad he has someone he can joke like that with, here. His rank isolates him in Oushuu - no matter how down-to-earth he acts, he'll always be lord, not simply one of the men. And the bad blood with the rest of his family means he has few he can truly trust. To have more... that is no small thing.

He turns his focus back to Sieglinde.]

And you contacted Masamune-sama for me. Thank you.
