[In the Japanese formal garden, there's a brightly-dressed figure sitting near the edge of a neatly-raked bed of sand, his sword resting at his side

[Did you look this sexy yesterday, because I'm not sure you did.]

It is unusual for this person to issue summons to us.

[And yet, he's coming anyway.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

Your Majesty... should not question his luck.

[He waits, almost perfectly still.]

[gotyourhair]

Does this person feel we should count this as luck?

[He arrives in his own damn time.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

...Does Your Majesty feel... he can take my interest for granted?

[Infuriating ♠]

[gotyourhair]

We can take ths person's interest in any way we may choose, we are the emperor.

[Take that you sexy androgynous bastard.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

...Arrogant.

[There was actual, noticeable contempt in his tone, just for a moment.]

[gotyourhair]

But it is justified.

[This man irritated him on a good day, today he felt like he would do anything to rub him into the dirt.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

Of course.

[He doesn't believe him.]

[gotyourhair]

[He steps closer, cuz ha! The seller is on his knees and that is awesome.]

This person's words are always lies.

[tadanokusuriuri]

[But when Kura gets there, alas, he stands up, sword in hand.]

...Are we to suppose... Your Majesty's words are a bastion of truth in this dark and deceitful world?

[Yeah, something says he doesn't believe it. It's probably the smirk.]

[gotyourhair]

We suggest that this person return to his knees to look his legs.

[Sneer sneer sneer]

[tadanokusuriuri]

Your Majesty... would like that.

[There's a hint of challenge in his eyes, a fierce little delight.]

[gotyourhair]

[The black sword materializes in his hand and he grins.]

We expect such.

[tadanokusuriuri]

[His fingers tighten around the hilt of his sword, though really, against a more-or-less human, all he can do with it is block.]

You should... be used to disappointment. Shouldn't you?

[gotyourhair]

We have no intention of allowing ourself to be disappointed.

[He reaches for the Seller's wrist.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

[The Medicine Seller smacks his arm away, stepping to the side but remaining close.]

Is that so?
