Aiko blinks a couple of times in surprise, then bows to a precise degree.

"Now that's right nice of you t'say, Yasuki-san," she says. "What all c'n I do f'r you?"

The Kitsune's accent does take the Yasuki by surprise a bit, but only for a moment - and the only indication is a fleeting small, warm smile on the right corner of her lips.

"This one would be happy to learn more about our neighbours, Kitsune-sama. Our people were just proposing the importance of Strength in Unity and Diversity - good relations with our Minor Clan kin is certainly an important part of that, as is their continued well being - especially of those closest to us, ne?" The small smile comes back for a split second as she bows again.

"I believe the Court may be coming to a close soon, though, isn't it? Could Kitsune-sama maybe grant this one some time for a conversation at a later date? Perhaps in a slightly more relaxed setting?"

"Reckon I c'n talk t'morrow," Aiko says. "Might be nice t'get a bit t'eat after Court's done an' all. Afore I get inta all o' my reports, that is."

Somehow, an image of a stalk of grass hanging from her teeth comes to mind.

The Yasuki nods warmly. "I'll make sure to reserve some time for that talk, then. Whenever it's more fitting for Kitsune-sama. Thank you kindly."

(OOC: RL has been suggesting I'll be rather sparse on D3 - would that be ok if we postponed that to D4 instead? I'd prefer D3 for game-internal reasons, but may not be able to make it happen and proceed with the thread properly. Didn't expect it at first, sorry )

"Oh, wait, I'm sure sorry t'say this," Aiko says, "but it'd 'scaped me that I've got 'nother palaver goin' on then! Silly me!"

She actually taps her forehead with the heel of her hand.

"Maybe on th' next day after, then? Or maybe you c'n send a runner t'me an' I c'n see if'n I c'n get you in right then."

(RL happens. D4 is fine, events permitting.)

Another warm nod. "Of course, Kitsune-sama - I can only imagine how busy Kitsune-sama must be, leading your delegation!" A final nod, the fan partly covering a small, gentle smile. "The next day should be fine, then. But I'll send a runner either way to make sure Kitsune-sama is available, if that would be acceptable."

(Thanks!)
