You are most welcome. I hope you enjoy it... [She folds her hands and rests them daintily on her lap once Kaoru has taken his present.] I'm certain that is what my lady would say if she were here right now.
[hAH.
She certainly wouldn't mind if he opened it right now - really, she'd like to see some genuine happiness out of him, though she isn't sure how possible that will be as long as he remains within these four walls. Her gaze drifts briefly to the door he had been looking at before returning to him, and when she smiles, it's kind and gentle.]
I am here with an... offer, of sorts. [She shifts her hands so that she can interlace her fingers together, and lowers her gaze ever so slightly to rest on the floor between them.] There are very few demons of my lady's age, and she would very much like to be friends. She has asked me to see how you would feel about paying a visit to Yase... of course she would have to go through your family's channels in order to bring it about, but she doesn't wish to impose on you by forcing a visit if such a thing is not to your liking.
[In truth, Sen doesn't really think the Nagumo clan would ever allow it. But she has conducted enough negotiations by now to know that if they turn down an extravagant request, people in general are much more likely to accept a less troublesome one. In the best case, Kaoru will be allowed to visit Yase and she simply won't return him. But if things don't work out ideally, she has other contingencies in place as well.]
The Princess of Yase would very much like to be your friend. ["Friend and ally," more like, but she can't exactly say that when it's very likely that there are listening ears.]
