[Kilgamayan]

> "Come."
> Move over to Tojiko's door and knock on it.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Come."
> Move over to Tojiko's door and knock on it.

>You knock on Tojiko's door, and it opens suspiciously quickly.
>"Yes, Crown Prince?" says Tojiko, as she leans out the doorway.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I wish to speak with both of you. May we come in?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I wish to speak with both of you. May we come in?"

>Tojiko moves aside and motions for you both to come in.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Thank you."
> Enter!

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Thank you."
> Enter!

>You make your way into an room more or less identical to yours, Futo following you quietly.
>"So, what did you need to talk with us about," says Tojiko, as she slides the door closed.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Make sure to keep it voice appropriately low for this conversation, both to respect those are sleeping and to reduce eavesdropping ability.
> "Shall we have a seat?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Make sure to keep it voice appropriately low for this conversation, both to respect those are sleeping and to reduce eavesdropping ability.
> "Shall we have a seat?"

>Tojiko nods and gestures toward the table.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Have a seat at the table.

[Hello Purvis]

> Have a seat at the table.

>You do so, as Futo takes the spot opposite of you.  Tojiko just sort of hovers lower and gathers her wisps under herself.
>"So...?" says Tojiko

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Sigh and relax.
> "First and foremost, since I imagine both of you are privately wondering about it, Seiga's status has not changed. She understands this, as well."

[Hello Purvis]

> Sigh and relax.
> "First and foremost, since I imagine both of you are privately wondering about it, Seiga's status has not changed. She understands this, as well."

>Futo nods. After a moment, so does Tojiko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Second...I am terribly sorry for the danger I put both of you in this evening."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Second...I am terribly sorry for the danger I put both of you in this evening."

>"We followed you of our our desires, Crown Prince," says Futo.
>"I'm more upset about all the things you did that got yourself hurt," Tojiko says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a rueful smile.
> "I admit I lost myself in anger a bit in that battle. Speaking of, how are both of you faring?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Give a rueful smile.
> "I admit I lost myself in anger a bit in that battle. Speaking of, how are both of you faring?"

>"Don't worry about me, I'll be alright," Tojiko says.
>"I should be better by tomorrow, I imagine," says Futo.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Tojiko.
> "Come now, dear. I cannot not worry about either of you when I know what we have all gone through."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Tojiko.
> "Come now, dear. I cannot not worry about either of you when I know what we have all gone through."

>"And there's not enough to worry about," says Tojiko. "I'll be fine."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown, then nod.
> "Very all, if you insist."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown, then nod.
> "Very all, if you insist."

>"Was there anything else we need to consider?" says Futo.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm...I suppose it is worth letting you know that Miss Meira may be taking an interest in the Tao. I am still mulling over how much assistance, if any, I would be willing to give."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm...I suppose it is worth letting you know that Miss Meira may be taking an interest in the Tao. I am still mulling over how much assistance, if any, I would be willing to give."

>"I suppose it would be appropriate to have the aristocracy, as it were, on our side," says Futo.
>"Is she trustworthy?" says Tojiko.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> "That is a good question, yes. One I cannot be fully sure of the answer."

> "However, as much as she won't admit it, she seems to be genuinely distressed over her loss. I'd wager it's fairly likely that she would take any path if it would bring her back to the status of nobility."

[Hello Purvis]

> "That is a good question, yes. One I cannot be fully sure of the answer."

> "However, as much as she won't admit it, she seems to be genuinely distressed over her loss. I'd wager it's fairly likely that she would take any path if it would bring her back to the status of nobility."

>"'Any path' is somewhat worrisome," says Futo. "However, I do sympathize with her situation."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I think the 'anything' could be controlled if necessary."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I think the 'anything' could be controlled if necessary."

>"With virtuous instruction, certainly," says Futo. "But is she likely to heed it?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Possibly. I have not seen much of anything so far to suggest she wouldn't. Only time may tell for sure, though."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Possibly. I have not seen much of anything so far to suggest she wouldn't. Only time may tell for sure, though."

>"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try," says Tojiko.

[Monarda]

//Anything else you want to ask ? I`m not gonna act right now, i did too much harm for now.

[Kilgamayan]

Yeah, I'm not quite done. This is more or less a self-indulgent present: I've been waiting for downtime with these two since the start of the game.

> "We can consider it some more tomorrow, when we will presumably see her again. Seiga will be there as well, to contribute to the discussion."
