She nods. "I'll try to work on that, then." Turning to Shiori with a small smile. "With Kuni-san, if you can spare the time"

Shiori would nod at the offer. "Of course, I have more than enough time to spare on the matter. Honestly, it seems like there is no shortage of things that Yasuki-san can do, it seems. If I can lessen the burden in any way, I would be happy to do so."

A faint, maybe slightly apologetic - or tired - smile. "I'll be glad for the company, Kuni-san. Sometimes I wish I were faster or more effective with things, or to have more time in the day" A small chuckle. "... maybe I just need to organise myself better, or reassess priorities."

Somehow, her expression suggests a thought. A thought to the effect of I'm tired, boss, or something similar.

She shook her head in disapproval. "It feels more likely that you're asking to take more tasks than humanly possible, Yasuki-san. My previous comment was more about your talents, rather than your workload, which I'm sure you have more than enough of. I hope you know that. I suppose we could look into infusing you with water kami to ensure you have enough time in the day to do everything. There have been studies made by the Kuni for such a possibility with our troops."

"Let's just say it didn't end well,' she said on a serious note.

Masaki had her eyes on her work as the Kuni spoke, and raised her head with the start of a grin - as if she expected one on Shiori's face as well. When she found her serious indeed, her expression immediately - and rather comically - changed to one of puzzlment, then concern.

"Oh. I... think I'd rather pass on such research, Kuni-san. For now, at least!" A wry smile. "I should probably rather rethink that workload thing, ne?" Wry smile widens a bit, which ends up heightening the comic effect for a moment before she takes a slooooow breath.

"Yes. Let's be sure to share the workload", she reaffirms with a resolute nod, just as she notices she weaved a group of straws through the wrong part of the piece she's working on and starts backtracking.

Shiori took a glance at the straws that Masaki had been working on and reminded herself that the art event was tomorrow, it felt all too easy to run over time unintentionally. It was clear that Masaki still had a lot of work to do prior to sleeping while Shiori probably just had to think about her delivery, maybe something she could practice passively in her futon or in the morning.

"...I should like everyone to finish up with their efforts for tomorrow and get ready for bed," she dipped in a quick bow as she got ready to excuse herself. "If there's nothing else, have a good night minisama and sleep well."

"Sleep Well, Kuni-san." Daichi replied with a polite bow to her. "I've more to do yet, but I shouldn't be too far behind you."

And with that, Shiori turned in for the night.

Well, it turned out she wasn't truly turning in, as there would be another meeting for her later tonight with Yuna and Daichi.

/exit!

"Sleep well!"

There *was* still a ways to go for Masaki - and a meeting later in the night. But she was feeling positive, mistakes aside. "We're doing good, Hiruma-sama. Must say I like how things are turning out", she said with a smile. "But we shouldn't overdo it today, there's still some time for preparations tomorrow, ne?"

"True enough, and I should have at least a few hours in the morning to finish up." He agreed easily enough. "I do hope to finish up with the bulk of it this evening though." better to finish what he could when he could get to it after all.
