The lay of the land (Day 1 Early Afternoon, Open.)

[Hiruma Daichi]

"It is an excellent chance for that, if it's your wish. With such an important duty it's easy to gain some recognition and perhaps even become an emerald Magistrate yourself one day." The yatsuhashi was brought forth, and once again offered to the Matsu."

"Many siblings though huh? How many exactly? If you don't mind me asking?"

[Matsu Masumi]

"Everyone aims to climb up the ranks in some way, don't they?" Masumi mused, wondering if she could ever become a really good Emerald Magistrate. The last thing she wanted was to be assigned to some backwater place and forgotten for the rest of her life.

She took one look at the offered treats before deciding to plop one into her mouth. "I have exactly eight siblings," she said, curious if he'd find it curious that a Matsu family would... proliferate so much. "Six sisters, two brothers. I can elaborate more on the layout of ages if you so desire."

[Hiruma Daichi]

"More than me, and I've got four still living." Which had seemed quite the number while he was growing up. Still, it seemed liked Masumi's parents were really fond of each other, or at least fond on their bedchamber. "No need to elaborate though. Maybe just tell me where you fall in with the lot of them?"

"Third of ninth or something else altogether?"

[Matsu Masumi]

Masumi shook her head. "On the contrary, I'm the youngest daughter with one younger brother." When she really thought about it, she really did have quite a few siblings compared to everyone else who wasn't a Matsu. They really needed to reproduce a lot to keep up the numbers in the armies... which meant a lot of time in the bedchamber.

Her cheeks turned a bit pink. "I never quite hit the growth spurt my sisters did. They're quite large b-but not in an unseemly way! They're just strong."
