Yasu chuckles a bit. "What more, indeed?" She takes a few more of the offered nuts. "Well, if there's some carvings that are...hmm, rather inexpensive." Yasu says a bit apologetic to be talking about prices. Oddly finding that a bit more embarrassing to bring up in polite company than talking about ...

Yasu laughs at that, pouring, "you're to take on a good karo, I think. No reason you need to take on the day to day unless that's all of your assignment, yeah? Unless you think your new wife's much good with that?" She's a bit skeptical that Inoshishi would be.

"Knowing the Dragon a little, I'm not sure diplomatic is really popular in the mountains, so they might do alright there." It's said a bit dryly. She's only once seen the pair together, and the combination is still rather surprising in her mind. She fidgets with a small crab token on a lavender ribb...

Yasu thinks about it a long moment before reaching to untie the jade pendant she wears."Would you mind handling this first for a few seconds? It's..." She huffs, a sound more of amusement than caution. "Well, I've been waiting for the catch, the other sandal to drop, so a bit of caution seems...appr...

It's a bit to process, and Yasu rolls her eyes at Ishioka confronting Bo for...whatever reason that made any sense. She kind of wants to pour some sort of comforting tea...but it's not her room. So she settles for shaking her head and making appropriately sympathetic noises. "He really can be a litt...

"I expect you'll do well in the capitol, capable enough to catch the young governor's eye and," she gestures to the elegant everything, "if the stories are anything to go by, elegance, style, and beauty carry a lot more weight there than some other places. Certainly clever to already have agreements...

"Music isn't something you enjoy for its own sake?" Yasu asks settling back on her cushion as the medical portion of the conversation drifts closed. She looks confused a moment at Narumi's reaction, but listens and slowly picks up the meaning of things, all of them. And while there's some sadness fo...
