You don't look that old.

[fallingsaintly]

Mmnn...?

I suppose I should take that as a compliment. Thank you.

[ he says it with a slight smile ]

Ah, but I'm forgetting my manners. I'm Karel.

[ he holds out his hand ]

And yourself...?

[aclassifiedlady]

[takes the proffered hand and shakes it firmly]

Yoshie. It's a pleasure to meet you, though the circumstances could be better.

[ oh, but that's not what he had in mind at all~ he obliges and shakes her hand, but then lifts her hand lightly to his lips and presses a quick kiss to the back ]

Well met, milady. And they certainly could be... Not at all what I had in mind when I set out this morning.
