> Smile.> "You are quite welcome. I was glad to be of assistance. I look forward to our next meeting, be it tomorrow, or some later date."
> "Certainly. Have a safe journey home, and best of luck with that script."
> Chuckle.> "Indeed. But there is little fun where there is little challenge."> Look to Koishi.> "And best wishes to you in particular, Koishi. Please let me know if you need anything from me."
> How dirty/gross/unpleasant/whatever is Yoshika's hair, from what we could tell?> "You're welcome. Take care, all of you."
> Watch them leave, then turn to Kotohime once they're out of earshot.> "I believe this is where our paths must part for today as well, as what I have to do next, I would prefer to do alone."
> "Because this business is personal, and what I wish to do is made more difficult with the presence of a second person, especially if they are clearly allied with me."
> "Yes."
> Shake head.> "I was not planning on it, no."
> Give an easy smile.> "I have defeated Seiga in combat before, and I have dispatched a warrior today that she empowered specifically to be able to defeat me. I am not worried about anything else she might try."
> "She's nothing I can't handle. Like I said, I have done so before."
> "That is one of the places I plan on traveling, yes."
> What time is it?
> Give an uncertain look.> "Um...I would really like to deal with Seiga before she runs away, but I guess I could join you for dinner after that?"
> "....Are you okay?"
> Keep up the uncertain look, with a bit of suspicion added, for a few seconds in silence.> "...Okay, yes, I promise to join you for dinner. But you must tell me what's going on once we are eating."
