...My biggest observation of you all is that you are a very odd group of people. [ and they do take out a little sheaf of papers. it seems like gemini's not the only note keeper around here. ] But, more than anything, you all seem to do well coming together, despite all circumstances.
I wonder if... it is just a reflection of your previous experiences, or... that these experiences draw those sorts of people.
[ he may look! they're just notes, written in neat handwriting. jiji can see a few of the names of the participants, but not much else. ]
... Well, maybe not in that case. [ you can hear the grimace in their voice, there. ] But, I can't fault Mr. Todd for his boundaries, nor can I fault Miss Nonagesimus or Mr. Tealeaf for pressing the issue.
In the end, you all came together, despite your disagreements. I believe everyone was quite united in their worry for you, Mikazuki.
[ orion seems to understand that that was not, in fact, a joke
they tilt their head, thinking. ]
Alarmed? A bit, if only because it was rather sudden. Fearful... no. I've seen worse. I did want to minimize the damage, though. It's not that I didn't have faith in your skills.
I am grateful to you. [mikazuki is pretty sure he would've been able to handle it either way, but bringing them back to the trial room was much better as far as time went.] It was the simplest course of action.
[to accept being stabbed if only for proof of guilt, and to give everyone else time]
[ ah. they pause for a moment, reaching up as if to wave the gratitude off - and then pause, hand curling, instead dropping back down. ]
...One that ended in damage, but, I did see the logic. [ so. they're not disagreeing. it also got the whole fiasco back to the room where ostensibly there was a swoctor doctor, or someone who could care for his injuries.
they click their tongue, softly. ] A beautiful blade is best used in a battle, but it shouldn't be damaged carelessly, either. Have some care for yourself, too, Mikazuki.
you know what mikazuki would really be into. swirly straws. anyway.]
Ha ha ha... it is a large question - but it is a common practice in courts of nobility in Japan. It is a type of art, just as it is a type of entertainment. Tea is prepared, of course, but with particular attention to context, environment, and guests. It is one of the most noted acts of refinement.

there's a long moment and they reach into their sleeve and summon up
a little straw. then wordlessly passes it across the table. tea straw. this is sacrilege but thats ok.

What about you, Mikazuki?
