Yeah it is!

The call of a wolf broke the Miko away from her endless thoughts. She set down her work, brushed the shavings from her fur, assumed a formal posture, and slowly approached where her visitor waited. She did not rush nor meander, but maintained a brisk ceremonial-like stride to honor her guest.

She was surprised to see it was the man from before… and even more surprised to see a catch of two river fish beside him. She wondered about his intentions.

“Konnichiwa,” she said with a small bow. =“It is good to see you again. Welcome back to the temple of Hokkyokusei-sama.”= She said politely. =“Have you come to ask the Kami’s blessing?”= she asked with a tilt of her head.
