"Exits and Entrances."

[himitsunotsuki]

It will please some of you to know, and displease others, no doubt, that Saeki and I have been plotting again and it would appear that we're going to trouble Lioncrest's talented butlers to put on another performance

You may add my name to the list, Yuushi-sama. I had immense fun with the last one and look forward to this one as well.

[himitsunotsuki]

Another certainty, as Saeki all but assured me. I look forward to another brilliant performance from our previous leading lady.

[veiledagenda]

Such flattering words, lord Yuushi.

[himitsunotsuki]

I am rarely in the habit of wasting words I do not mean, Fuji, and if they are flattering it would only be because they are fully deserved.

[veiledagenda]

Perhaps, but one must wonder how often that silver-tongue spills anything other than the sweetest niceties.

[himitsunotsuki]

In such instances, I believe the phrase silence is golden suffices.

[veiledagenda]

Ah, so it isn't what you say that one must pay attention to but what you do not.

Interesting.

[himitsunotsuki]

Isn't it the same case with most of us? There is so much more that is said between the lines.

[veiledagenda]

Yet, there is far too often things imagined between those lines than is actually there.

I wonder, does your cousin subscribe to the same theory, Yuushi-sama?

[himitsunotsuki]

I admit this is true. One of the greatest shortcomings of selective honesty.

I would say Kenya is far bolder with his words than I could hope to be. Which makes his silence all the more telling.

[veiledagenda]

Yet, the habit does give those such as I many routes through which to play.

Then do you ever wish you were as bold of tongue as he? Given his abundance of bold brazenness it is wonder anyone can notice the silence if it exists.

[himitsunotsuki]

Which would be one of the advantages of the same.

Perhaps. And that, I believe, is entirely the point.

[veiledagenda]

In that case, welcome to the club, Yuushi-sama. ^.~

The point to his brazenness is to hide what he doesn't want others to see? Then operating on this theory there is much he hides. This could be interesting, indeed.

[himitsunotsuki]

Pleasure's all mine.

Perhaps, perhaps not. I don't think Kenya would be himself were he less outspoken, and I don't think outspokenness is all there is to my cousin.

[veiledagenda]

I assure you, this time around the please is mine.

Perhaps, but that outspokenness is what makes him a delightful target for some.

[himitsunotsuki]

We seem to have cancelled each other out, then.

I wonder whether I should be unsettled by the words 'delightful' and 'target' placed next to each other so.
