Umi speaking seemed to be fine, but then Rose spoke, and even Akiko's eyebrow twitched in a bit of confusion. What in the world was she thinking?! After a moment passed, it seemed to have resolved decently enough, with everyone else still expressing confusion but shrugging it off. [quote=Rivenwood Commander] [color=crimson]"It would seem you are an....ecclectic troupe. Treasure hunters too. You'll pardon me if I insist, but I would not be comfortable leaving those so unaccostomed to our ways to roam about. I shall escort you to the most honored Lady Asgard's chateau and we can better orient you there."[/color] [/quote] [color=hotpink]"We would be absolutely honored to be escorted to Lady Asgard. If the taverns I've visited and the tavernkeeps that've assisted me told the truth, I simply cannot wait to see her beauty."[/color] Akiko smiled, folding her fans back up and tucking them into her... sides? Hips? Nobody could be immediately sure where the fans went, other than none of Akiko's clothes moved notably to accommodate for her actions. Strange. Ah well, certainly this would be a nice and eas- [quote=Rivenwood Commander][color=crimson]"Miss Akiko, perhaps you could tell me of your journey here from the east. Surely you must have passed through the Rexicorg if you were in search of treasure? I've heard of it only in passing but I'd be delighted to hear a first hand account as we walk. The Lady's abode is only an hour away so the time should certainly fly, no?"[/color] [/quote] [b]WHAT IN THE EVERLOVING FUCK WAS A REXICORG?![/b] [color=hotpink]"Ah, the Rexicorg!"[/color] Akiko exhaled in feigned splendor. She didn't know what it was truly, but she'd certainly be in a heap of trouble if she didn't respond with anything here. Refusing wouldn't get her any points either, so she had to come up with something on the fly. [color=hotpink]"It was certainly something, I can say that much. Though, I must regretfully inform you that I cannot find the true words to describe it's enthralling aura, even with a tongue as fine as mine through all my studies of poetry and such. In all honesty, I wish to write a fine poem truly describing what it truly is."[/color] Akiko went on, her eyes closing and hands covering her heart as she cooed. [color=hotpink]"... but to describe such majesty and grandiosity with a poem would hardly be doing it any justice!"[/color] Akiko's eyes opened before she looked at the commander with a tilted head. [color=hotpink]"... if you'll excuse my ignorance, may I please place a name to a face such as yours?"[/color] She ended her sentence with a smile before one of her fans returned to her hand, coming up to fan her face off. It was actually a bit warm, so there wasn't much in the ways of lies with the fan.
