hmmmm ok i think ginko would try to learn more deets about the history of tensions between the mountain clan and the sea clan, as the old lady perceives it?

since in the original unmerged universes there was only one clan always in charge so the history must be different in the merged 'verse, and it could help them to find out what they're working off of etc.

he'd probably go with his usual "I'm Just A Ye Olde Traveler Passing Thru" spiel in order to avoid raising suspicions!!
