Jin watched Akiko's reaction to his suggestion with joy. There were no words of caution, no timid gestures, and no reluctant stammering. She was clearly, unquestionably, up for it, and by the grin that slowly crept across her face, he could tell she probably wanted this as much as he did. While Akiko seemed to be a bit more restrained in her expressions, Jin saw no need for such a thing in the presence of a like-minded fox. He let out a quick burst of jovial laughter after she spoke, noting the word "we" in her sentence. "Oh, I believe we are obligated to do just that!" he replied. "We are new to this city and have yet to pay our new lord proper respect! The tricky part will be getting in though..."

Now Jin was plunging head-first into strategies. "We could pose as neighboring aristocrats offering a gift. Surely he'd show his face for that. And once we're in... ah, we can just wing it once we're in there." Jin rarely planned more than one step ahead, and when he did, he usually didn't follow those plans. "We'll just slip away from the guards or something and make [i]him[/i] pay respect to [i]us.[/i] Haha that'll be great! 'Please Jin-sama, Akiko-sama, please stop putting centipedes in my soup.' What do you want to do to him Aki?" he concluded, already abridging his new partner in crime's name. He wasn't used to working with others, so he was probably getting a bit carried away with his own ideas, but he didn't want to chase of his new friend before they even got started, so he restrained himself to hear her input.
