Mitsumine Ryuunosuke could not help but frown slightly as Kitsune left the room. Once Kitsune left, Ryuunosuke muttered "I hope you can discover your own strength in these troubling times." He then turned to a servant who was waiting upon him and said "It appears that it is time to begin to address the foreign dignitaries who have arrived. Will you please allow them into the manor and place them in their each respective waiting room. I must figure out who has arrived first and then proceed from there. Also, will you please inform my uncle that I am now about to meet the foreign dignitaries? If I remember correctly, he should be talking with that pugnacious woman from the Hakurou Clan. Touka, I believe, was her name." 

Ryuu then turned to Hana and said "Well, both of our jobs are now really about to start. Tell me while we wait for the dignitaries and diplomats to arrive. What did you think about the heir to the Boar Clan?" Although it seems like it, Ryuu was not just spending this moment to simply create conversation. This was the first of Hana's tests. Ryuu was a person who could not trust someone until he learned about how a person thinks or usually acts. Therefore, Ryuu was going to pay close attention to how Hana was going to answer to this seemingly casual question.
