Krayzikk Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) IC: "It does admittedly defeat the point of a masquerade." Nihonei noted, smiling cheerfully. She had a drink in her hands, truthfully not her first, but an intelligent light gleamed in her eyes nevertheless, sharp and observant. Her movements remained graceful, though a bit more exaggerated as she took another sip. "But, it's fun. Noshima, you need to loosen up a little." IC: "In that case, let us get going." Kagesu replied, shouldering her pack easily. The slim Dasaka slipped out of the room, gesturing for the other quest-takers to follow. "So. Tell me about yourselves, if you would."

Krayzikk Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 IC: "... Have you always talked like that?" Nihonei asked curiously, holding her drink idly. The Toroshu's eyebrows arched upwards a few degrees, as they always did when she had found a topic of interest. "There's nothing wrong with it, of course. It is, however, a far more formal form of address than most. You've done it as long as I've known you, but did you always?"

Krayzikk Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 IC: "If I may ask, why have you decided to speak as such? It hasn't been the standard form of address for many centuries. If I recall my history correctly, the latest I've seen it written was in the time of one of my predecessors, roughly a dozen Toroshu back. And she was considered conservative for sticking to it."

Krayzikk Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 IC: "That would make sense. Much of the older material in the Eiyu library is of a similar nature, and Eiyu Gotsoko has said, and from my few visits I agree, that the effect is only more noticeable in the Imperial Library." Nihonei seemed particularly energized at the subject of literature, or perhaps it was merely that someone was understanding what she was saying.

"Pray forgive me for inquiring into your family history, if it does indeed offend you, but have you utilized from childhood your antiquated manner of speech?

Hanako Herupa Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 IC: (Hanako) "I guess...I'm really glad we had this talk Jiyu. How about we go back and enjoy the party, I probably also need to check in on Yumi," I replied, shaking my head with a smile. Reconciliation, I didn't think it was possible, I thought my brother hated me. He didn't though, his anger was directed towards our mother and aunt. That hurt, just as much as the realization that Jiyu did endure such pain. There was still a party going on, and to be honest I felt famished, it would be nice to grab a drink and something to eat before reuniting with Yumi and Desde.

I-I just don't want to see my brother get hurt.," I said, a worried frown crossing my lips. I would be happy, my brother and my sister I'm glad the weight of Toroshu wasn't on me, but I didn't want to watch them destroy my brother.
