	Lein himself was curious about whatever spurred so many people to come out to the yard like this. Probably missed out on quite the uproar if the yard was crowded like this - including, Lein spied in the corner of his vision - the throng of usual suspects. Renar. Gerard. Fionn. Plus one. She was familiar; ah yes, the elf from the bar who talked to Cecilia and Tyaethe, was it? They were haranguing some knights scuffling on the far side. Not even that time he spread the rumor of a surprise physical check had stirred the pot this much. This Knight-Witch, Lady of Storms, Rui's boss, had some powerful witching powers.

	[color=orange]"Ah right! This is Rui."[/color] Lein nodded and accepted her unspoken request of a translation. Language was the rare few pencil-y trades Lein had a knack for, a skill that was in bountiful demand in his prior - and present - trade of delivery. Sitting by in bars, playing fiddle as unaware attendees spilt their secrets to a dumb foreign looking Hundi certainly scored him easy secrets as well. As much as it was a little tempting to get creative with the translation, he opted for the little touch-ups, adjusting expressions and intonations here and there. 

	[color=orange]"She apologizes for her intrusion on the castle, and - she's here on behalf of her Lady to finish her observations of the knights. Lady Merilia also extends an apology for the lack of advance notification by letter but she didn't know if you, Captain, would be present to receive it."[/color] Lein furrowed his brow, unsure on how to interpret the next response when coupled with Rui's unusual reaction. [color=orange]"She says if you leave a request for a painting she can get back to you by tomorrow...right." [/color] He gave a look of curiosity at Fanilly, as if to ask if she comprehended as much of that as he did.

	The next little sentence made Lein's eyes light up. Oh, this was a juicy opportunity. [color=orange]"Inoue Rui, and she says she's happy to teach and demonstrate! No fighting but for self-defense: [i]but our dear [b]ami[/b], all he's been doing is thinkin' about duels![/i]"[/color] He exclaimed, gesturing toward Fleuri. [color=orange]"And she's professed to me, she's slain a dragon with those very swords before! So I say it's quite the perfect opportunity, hmm? Our very own Champion of the North against the Blade of the Knight-Witch. We would certainly learn a thing or two watching such techniques from afar, [b]non[/b]?"[/color]
