"I assure you, Miss, that's no problem," Kira replied with a smile and flicked her hair over her shoulder, her eyes leaving the poor boy only long enough to meet his mother's eyes. "We're Exalted. It's a very rare illness that can affect us." She felt no reason not to be open with her status and intentions. It might put these people at ease, and lending gravity to her presence might remove more than a few barriers that most outsiders would face. Plus...at east she didn't say "We're Exalted and we're here to help." Kira's extremely sincere demeanor would have been hard to resist for someone who wasn't desperate, let alone someone whose child was extremely ill. Ever the polite girl, Kira took a quick curtsy (cloak in place of skirts, since she couldn't wear them while travelling) and placed her hand to her heart. "I assure you, Miss, we will do no harm to your child. We just need to understand what we're dealing with here. Her sharp eyes managed to pick up on the quarantine. That was not enough information. One couldn't learn from paper. One had to learn from people.

Arms folded, expression stern, Shi-Oda stood just outside - securing the door, and keeping an ear on what was going on inside. As long as he stood, nothing would get to Kira, not that she needed the help. Truth be told, his heart rankled doing such a thing. There were children suffering; a Plague was a terrible foe. It could not be punched into submission or threatened down with a blade. It ate and consumed, it targeted the elderly and young before anyone else. It was a slow, painful and invariably honourless way to die. Woe betide the Infernals if they were behind THIS sickness as well.
There would be no supporting Kira in a proper duel. No yielding to the importance of her destiny. If they lay behind this, he would run them down and put them in the ground. Shiyo supported Kira without question, but the back lines was not where he was meant to be. Was he not the righteous wind of Halta, that reaping storm come down from on high to scatter the wicked before him? Shi-Oda took his duty as a steward of his Solar very seriously, no doubt - he was a Lunar, and fairly proud of that fact - but respect didn't imply subordinate, did it?
He was beginning to realize that being a half-feral shapeshifting demi-god hadn't freed him from the inherent struggles that all young couples faced. But this wasn't the time or place to handle that sort of issue. This was the time and the place to get to the bottom of a plague, and to see what was ailing Dura.
And if that threat held mortal (or immortal) form, to introduce it's insides to the outside. Until then, Kira had all the time in the world to investigate.
