To be honest, it annoyed her greatly. House Aseryo and House Tosen had agreed to meet to discuss the topic of the ravenous creatures that roamed across their lands, but they were speaking of a thief prowling around their estate. Akane had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes and scoffing at the statement-- she knew exactly who the person of interest was. She had approached Karesh once or twice. His white hair and darker skin certainly caught her eye several times. It wasn't often that such an exotic-looking man made their way into House Aseryo, and so the very thought of having him, such a handsome looking thief, on their side thrilled her. Akane's sharp gaze wavered around the room once more as the two lords conversed. No one from the Tosen's side caught her attention so far; there was a man with red hair, but he was too old for her liking. [i]Such boring looking people.[/i] she thought to herself. [i]Not even their lord looks that handsome.[/i] Her eyes flitted to the man beside House Tosen's lord, who had just begun to speak. His voice carried itself across the room fluidly, and he did not falter or stutter once when he spoke. The way that the young man held himself and the way he leaned forward as he addressed them made her heart flutter. [i]Who is that?[/i] She hadn't seen such a shade of blond, and his accent sounded even [i]more[/i] exotic than Karesh's. Her fingers curled into her lap, grabbing at her russet gowns as she bit her lip. If only she would have taken a seat closer to his... then maybe she could have gotten a better look at his face. [i]I have to talk to him at the end of this meeting.[/i] The black-haired myrmidon was snapped out of her star struck daze when Karesh suddenly decided to make an appearance. She sent a piercing glare his way as he sat down next to Ryoichi. The damn thief just had to go and embarrass House Aseryo in front of that handsome devil... he probably wouldn't even look at her after this little "meeting". Akane was going to punch Karesh in the face when she had the chance. A sigh escaped her lips as she slowly regain her composure. She probably appeared extremely frustrated, but she believed that no one could blame her. Ryoichi's face looked like very much her own. They had the right to be disgruntled with the thief, no matter if he was part of their House or not. [color=C20808][b]"I agree that we should stop talking about the thief,"[/b][/color] she spoke for the first time, crossing her arms as she glowered at Karesh. [color=C20808][b]"The topic of demons emerging from who knows where is far more important than him."[/b][/color]
