[Tragically, not the name or the place ring familiar for Kaoru. Shiga is still Omi and life is confusing and whY IS NO ONE FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD. Or rather, no one that Kaoru could actually talk to. Shinsengumi...
The change in address is enough of a distraction, though, and while Shiga isn't familiar, Kaoru can at least tell that it's likely in the same country. Easy enough so far, then!]
...Just Tenka? [It's echoed back questioningly, because the thought of addressing a family head just by given name alone seems a little bizarre - far too close, especially for a stranger. WHAT'S WITH THIS OVERLY-FRIENDLY GUY good lord...]
I apologize; may I ask where Shiga is? [At least by now Kaoru's used to weirdass location issues... But with that all squared away:]
It seems as though most if not all of the listed crimes have been falsified. Yours was... involving the mannequins, correct? [Giving him The Sad Eyes Of Pity.] I don't believe that anyone else will take CERES at its word for this in particular, so you shouldn't have to worry about your reputation preemptively being besmirched.
