>Finish tea.>"Alright. Before we do that, though, I'd like to stop at my home and change into something more suitable to the palace.">Regardless of her answer, depart. And, offer her a hand.
>Save the moment, all the feelings of butterflies and puppies, and all that. >"So, you really want me to go back with you, huh?">Try not to draw too much attention, or do anything that would alert people to us, whilst heading back home.
>What seems to be the standard procedure for the house staff when they realize we're gone? What do we think would be the best way to proceed, given past experience.>"Well, this is home. Nice, huh? Now, just give me a moment to figure out the best way to get inside without being caught..."
>"Heh. You're just trying to lure me over there now, aren't you? I'll be right back.">Up that bamboo stalk! Get changed into something proper for a trip to the palace. Then, if we can without ruining it, head back down. Otherwise, time to stealth out the front door!

>Try not too look too irritated.>How trustworthy is she, in regards to not blabbing about our various secret endeavors? >If she is trustworthy, just say, "I have a thing to do. Top secret. But if it pans out, I'll have a hell of a story for you."
>Wave a hand. >"Not this time, sis. More to it than just sneaking around. But, tell you what, tomorrow we'll go hit up the town, maybe I'll introduce you to someone interesting."
>Oh yeah. As long as we're not on the lamb.>"Don't worry, I'll even take you to see your aunt if you like.">Exit, relink up with Yukari.
>Look around. Scout around a bit if needs be.
>Turn around, and figure out where she's hiding.>"Sorry, ran into my little sister, and had to put her off."
>Gape.>"...W...w...w..."
>"How did you...hole...">Gape more, but a little less slackjawed-like.
>Nod dumbly.>"Why is it here...why are you in it?"
>"How did it get here?!"
>Bring a hand to the side of our head, just look at her in a daze of bewilderment.
