Mother Makes Her Move

I wrote this in response to aldersprig's first prompt of "More Nai."

After the police had left, Madam Sung cornered her husband in his study.  Cornered is perhaps too aggressive a term, he was reading a scholarly journal and she brought him tea.  When he looked up from his reading to thank her, she asked him, “Sung Kao, do you remember who introduced us?”

This, yes. Ack!

Hell of a thing to pull of when you're six, too. How did she even find a gi school as lightly populated as that? It's presumably within walking (biking?) distance of their house (since she's also been getting herself there since she was six?), but tagging along with an older sibling to their school would be a lot easier than finding one you've never been to before. I wonder whether Master Que saw her potential then.

Good thing she's gotten good at doing things for herself instead of just doing without?

I've kind of wondered how she ended up the one left out, actually.

She's quieter than the others, will go away when she's told to and as she doesn't have any talent, that her family knows of, that makes her stand out from the others. Plus an inconvenientky timed birthday.

Yes. Plus she's sort of in the middle of thirteen.

It wasn't the first one she fronted...

Wasn't the first gi school she visited, or wasn't the first time she had to do something major for herself?

It wasn't the first gi school she went to that day.
