[D7 MM] A Shore Deal

[Daidoji Sae]

Snip

"I would not want to speculate, Yasuki-san. But I know Otomo-san is a diligent servant, doubtless her opinions reflected the wishes of those above her. Now things are...different."

A slight frown. "I wish it had happened another way at a different time. But such was the will of heaven. Still, by what we have agreed here today we can take one small step towards returning things to how they should be."

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Ryoichi nodded. "Our agreement will involve some marriage arrangements, as we discussed," he said. "I imagine there is little point in consulting the diligent Imperial Matchmaker about them, since we have much of the details already worked out, eh?"

Ryoichi nodded. "Our agreement will involve some marriage arrangements, as we discussed," he said. "I imagine there is little point in consulting the diligent Imperial Matchmaker about them, since we have much of the details already worked out, eh?"

"Indeed."
Sae smooths her silk.

"I imagine Otomo-san is very busy anyway. She should only be bothered when needed. For every marriage announced in the Imperial Court, surely many many more are diligently progressing behind the scenes."

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

"That seems only sensible," Ryoichi said, nodding judiciously. "Well, thank you, minna-sama, for a most productive discussion." He looked from Sae to Hikaru and back.

"Were there any other common interests you might like to talk about?"

"That seems only sensible," Ryoichi said, nodding judiciously. "Well, thank you, minna-sama, for a most productive discussion." He looked from Sae to Hikaru and back.

"Were there any other common interests you might like to talk about?"

"I would welcome the chance to talk further Yasuki-san, but maybe at a later date? I know you are busy seeing to your Clan's needs and my own days have been rather busy of late. But it was a pleasure to host you."

She looks across at Hikaru.

[Doji Hikaru]

Hikaru nods. "We have made considerable progress"

Hikaru nods. "We have made considerable progress"

"Until later, then," the Yasuki agreed. "Thank you for this meeting." He bowed.

[Daidoji Sae]

"Until later, then," the Yasuki agreed. "Thank you for this meeting." He bowed.

"Blessings upon you Yasuki-san."
Sae rises and bows back politely as well.
